I'm so busy as a bee this past few weeks. I haven't been really this busy for the longest time now. The last half part of the year was so relaxed that I could afford complaining about boredom.
I had wished for more challenging projects to come. I had wished for something mind-bender. I had wished for something to kill the boredom.
And it all happened true to my wishes. Funny how the universe or some unknown cosmic powers throw you back what you wished for. Funny at how they can be really sooo generous at that. I got what I wished, in fact I got too much of it.
Too much that I do not have time for myself anymore. Too much that I do not have time for anything at all. It stole my precious time. The project that came is indeed mind-challenging. Not only that, i feel that it is some sort of a black hole swallowing down my whole body and spirit. And all i ever wanted is to get out from that hole, to get out from this project.
Now, I regret I ever wished that. I regret i ever complained.
There is one thing that reminds me and made me realized that it is true. Be careful what you wished for cos you just might get it. Aaaggghhh!!!

Life Is A Joke (Sometimes)
I'm now writing this blog at this early hour of July 28th. My birthday! But, some twist of joke must be playing on me now. Why?
1. Just had a meeting with client at this very wee hour of my birthday! What an odd way to start anybody's birthday. I was not expecting in my entire life for this kind of scenario to happen on my birthday. Of all the 365 days in one year, how could this ever happen to this day? Life really has its ways in making joke on me.
2. I work on this project now that really challenges my mind, energy and time. At the end of my everyday, i always find my mind exhausted, batteries drained almost empty and left me no time for anything. No time to cook which i usually do. No time to put on make-up or even lipstick. No time for myself. When i glance in the mirror, i look so haggard. Today is my birthday and I should be blooming, but how can i afford the luxury of time for now to beautify myself? Life really has its ways in making joke on me.
3. I am officially a 'TNT' for exactly 20 days now. Or, i am over-staying in Dubai for exactly 20 days now already. On my 29th birthday, I was a TNT in Dubai. What a statement for birthday! How many people on earth can say that on their birthday? I belong to the few. Life really has its ways in making a joke on me.
4. In connection with #3, I am expected to pay the the cost of my over-staying, since according to Babaita, it was my fault for not informing her ahead of time? Was it entirely my fault? Should she be partly responsible for notifying me, since she is our acting PRO? That woman is a b**** for doing nothing than saving her fat ass. Pardon my french but all i wanted is fairness. Life really has its ways in making a joke on me.
5. Since i am a busy bee for now, i'm afraid i won't have time for any celebration at all. Tonight will be another client meeting and the pressure for this project is pushing us our limits. Our boss misthinks we've genius minds. I deserve to enjoy mah barthdayyy! I hope our plans with officemates to go bowling this Thursday night will pushthrough. Atleast, i can call it a celebration, eventhough it's late, and better than nothing.
Anyway, leaving all these aside, i am happy on my birthday! That's why it's called Happy Birthday because everybody should be happy on his birthday. I'll stick to the rule! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! :))

I love Kinokuniya!
I love Kinokuniya. From romance pocket books to C.S. Lewis to even Manga series, name it, they have it! That's why it's one of my favorite bookstores in Dubai. They have the best and widest variety of books you can ever find.
Where to find: Top Level of Dubai Mall, look for the Information booth and ask for direction. Hehehe! (It's a very huge mall, i, myself get lost here.)
No drinking!
Apparently, liquor is prohibited under the Sharia's law in UAE, with exception of course. In some certain areas like Irish Village, you can forget about the prohibitive law. You can drink like you've never drunk before.
So now, you know where to go!
