Life on the Spot! Life and Leisure in Doha, Qatar

It is Friday nevertheless we all got up early.  But rather than having an early breakfast we decided to have brunch instead.  A friend of mine who just came back from their holiday in the Philippines gave me “daing” and “tuyo” (dried fish) as “pasalubong” (gift from vacation) last Monday and since then I’ve been dying to eat it.  I got it all planned.  I kept telling my husband that we’ll have it for breakfast on the weekend. So today, we had fried garlic rice, dried fish, fried eggs and Purefoods (a Philippine brand which I got from a Filipino store at the Souq) beef franks and coffee.  It was the best meal ever.  We were all satisfied.  The dried fish was so good especially when dipped...

We had to send the car to the service center last Wednesday for a maintenance check.  Naturally, we had to rely on other people for transportation.  Thank God, a friend who does transport was able to squeeze me into her schedule in the morning.  She didn’t want to accept payment so I just treated her to brunch.  In the afternoon, we were lucky enough to get a transport.We wanted to rent a car but changed our mind since we thought the car would be ready yesterday.  But it turned out that it’s going to take a bit longer so we had to make a booking with Karwa.  I called at around 4pm, Wednesday.  I was hoping to get a 6:10 am booking, which gives us...

A friend of mine, together with her children, just left Qatar for good.  It’s always sad when someone leaves and even sadder when you know that it might take forever before you see each other again.  But I am thankful for the friendship and being a part of her life, especially when it mattered the most.  I will forever be grateful that she welcomed me into her life with open arms.  But most of all I am thankful for a number of good friends that she has brought into my life. God bless you friend and I wish you and your children a good and happy life....

Everything is set for our Palawan trip!As always, I plan way ahead.  This time, we’re going to Palawan. I’ve saved enough personal money this year so I’ve decided to take my parents and siblings to the beaches of Palawan. We were supposed to go to Boracay but I decided against it as there was nothing much to do in there aside from hanging out in the beach. In Palawan, you have a lot of activities and tours that’ll fill at least 3 days.  In our case, we’re planning to stay for 4 nights and 5 days to enjoy and take in everything, spending 2 days on the beach and the other days touring around Palawan.I already contacted Kawayanan Resort to book 2 family cottages for...
