1. i was able to spend the day at ferrari world in abu dhabi with three dear friends without splashing a lot of moolah.don't hate us, but we were able to get in by paying 25 dirhams each (around 250 pesos). we paid for just 10% of the actual price which is at 250 dirhams (2,500 pesos)! really, really appreciated this promotion.
as a result of this, we were able to ride the world's fastest rollercoaster! more on that later :-)
2.free dinner! i got invited to a dinner which i readily accepted. it was at this asian-themed restaurant in dubai marina called chinese village.it was free because we used a lot of groupon vouchers :-) and oh, the food was great.
3.a pleasant brunch with my husband.there is this restaurant called thyme near to our place.we always passed by it, and we always said we would try it one day.so we had a chance to finally try it, and oh boy, were we pleasantly surprised! the interiors were great, the staff were friendly and the food was just right for a pleasant brunch.
4.hearing my baby's voice on the phone.she is in germany now for a holiday with her oma and opa.i felt a bit guilty when she started crying, but we don't really have a choice :-( it IS scorching hot in dubai now.talk about 40-50 degrees.baby is an outdoorsy girl, and she would just be miserable if she were here, stuck in our flat.at least in munich she can run around farms and parks, and improve on her deutsch :-)
that's why i can totally relate to this.
friday also marked the start of ramadan in the uae.here's a blessed ramadan to my muslim friends.
and to the universe, here's a little note for you :-)
