Productive Long Weekend

I wish weekends are longer like this one combined with the Eid holidays because I managed to do a lot of stuff, including my post course work from my training few days ago which I need to submit before my boss goes on leave.

I still have gazillion of things to do but I don't think I can manage now since it's going to be back to reality in few days.

Well, I will just enjoy the last few days of happiness and loads of projects and the next weekend won't be that long. Bliss!

November Rain in Dubai

A lot of us here in Dubai have been praying for rain to come, even briefly. And our prayers are answered last night and today.

It doesn't rain here often but when it does, it signifies the change of season. We're ushering to the winter season now so we expect a drop in temperature in the coming days. That can only mean one thing, hello winter clothing!

As of this writing, it's still raining like cats and dogs. I had to put the air condition unit off because it's a bit cold and bearable. The road's wet and the drainage is not that good here. So, it's a bit flooded in some roads. Thank goodness it's weekend so there's not much traffic around except for some cars and trucks doing their usual business on a Friday morning.

I miss the rain, not the hurricane or typhoon kind but this light steady downpour as it washes the sand away. It's not every year that we get rain here and when it does, it's a welcome respite to the hot, summer days of the previous months.

It's nice to just sit near the balcony, watch the rain fall and drink a very hot chocolate in this rainy Friday morning.

Weekend Activities and Good Weather

The weather is quite inviting these past few days. I think it signifies the coming of the cooler months. We are all enjoying the breezy weekend and the whole family has so many stuff to do. My daughter has her activities with friends, hubby with his guests and I with my blogging and business opp.

Our weekend has never been this manic before. We used to just stay home because the weather is uncooperative. However, October spells more activities for all of us and probably the coming months.

I do hope I will find the energy to do all that we have lined up for the month (not to mention a travel in the offing...hehehe)!

Enjoying the Long Weekend

I took a local leave last Wednesday and Thursday was announced as public holiday. I was so ecstatic because I could enjoy the long weekend without a care in the world.

I have been sleeping very late since Wednesday. So, it comes as no surprise if I develop black tones under my eyes. I am checking for tips on how to get rid of dark circles under my eyes. I do look like a raccoon right now. I don't even have to put a smoky eyes effect for a make-up because of my dark circles. I can't look like this come Sunday when I report to work. It makes my face look tired and a bit goth!

The late nights are all worth it considering the fun times I have with my family. Apart from that, I have no work-matters to worry about. I hope it is always like this. I can get used to this kind of life.
