My Personal Journey called LIFE

5 th  and Last Stop: Vienna, Austria via Austrian Airlines:  1 day layover in Austria As mentioned on my post in  first blog post , I only had 1 night lay-over in Vienna Austria.  Not so much time to explore the City, I could only visit famous places near my hotel, like Schonbrunn Palace then walk around the city as much as I can until my flight back to Dubai. I stayed at Ibis Wein.  I arrived at Vienna at 7:30pm, after dinner just walk around the area, after an hour or two, went back to my room for an early sleep. The next day I went around by tram. There’s not much to tell about my Vienna trip, I will just share thru photos what’s there to share. 

I just had a lengthy discussion with a friend thru BBM (Blackberry Messenger).  What could be one of the most interesting topics there to discuss?  Of course matter of the heart, relationship, etc.  And between my circle of friends and I, we or should I say they like talk about about my being single. Right now, I am at the verge where I want to scream…. Please! Give me a break. Why is it, that my being single is so much of an issue with people around me – Family, Friends and Colleagues, and even with people who barely know me. My life has enough drama of its own already and the pressure from other people that (as if) I need to hook up myself with someone is not helping me in any way. Married friends would tell me.... "you should settle down, it’s going to be sad to grow old alone.  When you are married at least there would be someone you could share life with and have kids who would look after you when you get old." I totally g...

Today I woke up in a no-mood-to-work state.  But I have no choice  but to drag my self to the bathroom and position my sleepy head under the cold shower. As usual I got to work 10 minutes past 0800hours.  Had my tsai and adobo roll (courtesy of Arjay P.), then work work work..... Today I wore to work, not my regular office get up, a black skinny jeans, black flat shoes and one of my favorite blouse, pumpkin shape blouse which, I am aware of, gives me a preggy look.  Everytime I wear this, 2 of my female colleagues won't let the chance pass by without commenting that I look fat on my blouse, and the first time I wore it, one of my male arab colleagues even asked me "are you pregnant?" hahaha.  I don't care what they say with how I look on it, I just love it and I am comfortable wearing it, and that what is important. As lunch time approaches, the stronger I feel sleepy.  I need to have a nap or else I m...

OVERVIEW The water filter can only be used with pre-filtered water from a water supply facility. The filter cannot be used with water from unsafe water sources such as rivers and wells. Use of a quality pre filter is recommended to extend the shelf life of the cartridge. The Importance of Good Water Some examples of major contaminants found in water today: Toxic Metals   (Lead, Mercury, Copper, etc.) Toxic metals are also called inorganic contaminants. Many toxic metals have been linked to long-term health problems such as cancer and serious learning disabilities. Microbiological   (E. Coli, Enterobacter, Klebsiella, Citrobacter, etc.) Biological contaminants are living organisms such as parasites, bacteria, viruses, cysts, and spores.   Petrochemicals   (Herbicides, Pesticides, Detergents, VOC, Carcinogens, etc.) Petroleum-based chemicals are also called ‘organic’ contaminants. Many have been linked to long-term health problems including many forms of can...

Way back before 2007, I had a strong feeling I would be leaving Philippines to work abroad.  Where?  I didn’t have a clue.  Who would know?  Didn’t even have an idea how it’s going to be possible.  But then fate took its course.  May 14 2007 I arrived in Dubai. The day I came in Dubai, weather was soaring up to 42degrees hot.  I grew up in a tropical country where humidity and hot weather is not unusual, but then even if that’s the case, it was 42degrees and keeps on increasing day by day, who could bear that?  It was a major adjustment for me weather-wise.  As time passes by, I have come to accept and embrace the fact that summer time in Middle East is as hot as it can get. I was on a visit visa for 2 months, meaning I had to get a job before my visa expires or else I would have to either go back to Philippines or Exit to nearby GCC country, either case I will need to spend money-this was not a priority really at that moment as ...

I know there will come a time I will forget bits of pieces of my experiences, but my travel to Prague is one to remember for life, that is I am sure. When I plan my travel, it is part of my preparation to read blogs, forums and sites about the place I will be visiting.  Not for anything but to know the place I will be going.  Below is just a couple from the list of sites I visited to gain knowledge and information about Prague: www.prague.fm/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prague The plane ride from Rome to Prague was 2 hours.  I arrived in Prague as scheduled.  Contrary to what I read from different blogs and forums regarding domestic flights in Europe, I had a good and smooth check-in procedure and flight, no delays.  I took the taxi from the airport to  Hotel Lunik .  The hotel where I stayed was just a 3-star hotel, but I could definitely say my accommodation was more than what I paid for.  Cle...
