Yes people, I am in Dubai once again.
Surprisingly the weather is amazing! I just returned from having dinner at The Meat Co. at Souk Madinat Jumeirah and the outdoor seating was extremely pleasant.

Since lent started, I’ve been wondering why it’s so early this year. I’ve asked a bunch of friends why Easter is at a different time every year and no one knew the answer. I’ve been meaning to ask my priest about it but it always slips my mind when he is around. Well, I just […]
Recently, I have been hearing a lot of Kuwaitis ranting about different things in Kuwait, the increase of prices, the heritage demolishing, the inadequate funding of certain organizations or ministries, the roads, segregation, lack of nationalism, etc.

Oh readers!
It has been 5 months since my last post… please forgive me!
I don’t even know where to start from. These past 5 months have been quite interesting.
Let’s just say: Life seems to be good!
It’s always essential to have faith in life… every time something slams in your face, something else that’s better appears.
