Salamat, Danke, Merci, Thank you PEBA, and Happy Holidays too
December 28, 2010
This month has rather been busy with all the events related to Christmas, I have to beg off from blogging.
It's been two weeks since the Pinoy Expats/ OFW Blog Awards night where my entry (here) landed a great and un-expected second place. Please allow me to copy my facebook note on it:
Many thanks for the support, especially to those who believed in my entry. |
Thanks a lot PEBA, my Mama was proud and glad! |
I am on the other end of the line =) |
And to all my fellow nominees and all fellow OFW bloggers, congratulations too!

Merry, merry Christmas =)
I guess I'm getting used to the sandpit Christmas celebration, but of course I miss the Filipino tradition. Much unlike the Philippines, Christmas is more of a commercialized event here where malls are adorned with greens and reds of Christmas trees, Santa Claus and his rein-deers, BUT nothing of the Nativity, since of course it is a Muslim country. The essence then is a challenge for every Christian believer to find it in his/ her heart.
The trimmings at Mirdiff Mall, Dubai Mall and Mercato Mall. I would've loved to drive to Emirates Palace to see the controversial $11M Christmas tree. |

From us and the Gremlin, we wish everyone a blessed 2011. And may the Christmas spirit reign in us everyday =)
