Christmas Eve. 2011 (Qatar)

Celebrating Christmas today in other country is not as sad as it was 10 years ago. Because of Facebook and close friends, Celebrating it in a foreign land is the same as celebrating it back home.

Thanks to the wide range of festivities here in there. Food is always the star of the season, different tastes, dishes and drinks will fill your gut. So losing weight is really not a good idea this festive season.

Below were a collection of photos taken during our Christmas Eve in Qatar.

It serves me well . . .

I think I have to say goodbye to my ever reliable Nokia Phone (Music Edition) You have serve me well. What happened? You might ask, Well, We went out for fishing, crabbing one day when it went for swimming and it never came back alive.


Up Close and Personal, Gamarjobat in Doha

I first saw them in the Facebook page that was shared by a friend, And they were hilarious and viral. So when I saw them in the newspaper, I make sure that I inclued them in my scheduled. Although it was almost the same act as I've seen on youtube, Still they were so funny. The reaction of the crowd is amazing. Thanks to the Embassy of Japan for bringing them here.





Qatar Temperature

The is winter here (Doha, Qatar) It is really early, amd cold. Yohooooooo! Unlike last year it was too late. And this time it is really cold. I hope it would last to 4 months.


Updating my IPAD 2 to iOS 5

It took me almost the whole night just to upload and update my Ipad2 to the new iOS 5, Why? Because of tmy internet connection. Grrrrr! I hope they upgrade our connection soon!



I love this split keyboard, It makes it easier for thumb typing.

Qoutes

Scott Kelby's WorldWide Photo Walk. (WARP)

Was again able to attend the Scott Kelby's Worldwide Photowalk, Just like last year we started again at one of the most Iconic Landmarks here in Qatar, The Museum of Islamic Arts. (MIA) and from there we form a big "W" human sign at the grounds of MIA, from there we walk, well not all to the corniche side going to souq waqif as the final destination of our photowalk. It was a great experience!


Mr. Danbo also joined our Photowalk.

Pacquiao - Marquez Fight (Nov. 13)

It was the much awaited fight of the year, The 3rd Re-Match of PACMAN-DYNAMITA Fight. Sadly, I was not able to watch it live because of the First Day of Work after a long holiday break.

And I just relied on my Iphone's Facebook Apps for the live update, (Thanks to my friends online for the reliable update)

Around 8:45am, The update was that Manny have won the fight by the decision. It was not an overwhelming news as I expected. Maybe because they felt that the fight was not fair. Although our bet have won, We think that it ia not an Honorable Win.
Marquez is leading by the 9th round and yet Manny was able to Win the fight.

Hopefully will see the full details tonight in the News. . .




You have fought a good fight Marquez!

Change of Environment (Spaces)

My wife decided to move the furniture and since it was still a Holiday, I obliged to. And it turned out OK, Although I think it became smaller because of our huge furniture. Still, I find it welcoming, A change of environment is really good sometimes. A Change of perspective.
