Dubai on A Friday


I just noticed that for the past three years I post only one post and I do it every August. So, to break that inclination, I will try to begin posting more than one, starting today….

Dubai driving on a Friday

If you go out on a street in Dubai on a weekday, the streets are not empty and it is never empty up to the wee hours of the morning. But on Friday mornings, it is a different story. You can actually count with your ten fingers the cars that you can see.

Filipino FM

If you’ve been out of the country for more than five years, and going home takes one a year, all things seem to start to fade and you feel out of the loop: the latest fashion-both hip and tacky, the latest food fad, the habitual evolution of the Tagalog language peppered with the gay lingo –swardspeak according to some, the yearly (?) installment of Shake Rattle and Roll, the ubiquitous pop songs blazing from Jeepneys and almost everything Filipino.

That is why it is a welcome change that TagFM started broadcasting around here. Much to my delight, they play old OPM songs on Friday mornings!
