Another milestone for Qatar History and of mine.

Today was declared a National Holiday, due to the transfer of Power of the Ruling Emir of the state of Qatar to his son, HHS Tamin Bin Hamad Al Thani which coincidentally was my son's 6th Birthday. Both are a milestone year. 

I wish them both prosperous life and year ahead. Happy Birthday to my Son Miguel Salvador Go and Congratulation to HHS Tamim Bin Hamad Al Thani - New Emir of State of Qatar.

Summer has just arrived . . .

Today, the temperature gauge registered at 45 degrees.  Wheeeew! It was really a hair raising heat! Let us prepare to a more hotter days in coming weeks! 

Grandma's 80th Birthday

Mama as we fondly call her because we, my brother and sister almost treat her as our second mother. She celebrated her 80th birthday strong and glamorous. We love you so much mama, more years to your lovely life.

Still glamorous at 80

Mama's infectious laugh.

Miel Christine turns O-N-E

My little princess Miel Christine S. Go have turned one last January 08, 2013 although we celebrated earlier because the 8th falls under the weekdays.

It was a celebration of my birthday and her birthday plus the christian dedication all in one.

Loooooong Holiday.

After a long holiday weekend, no work in one week, We are now gearing back towards the keyboard, mouse and monitor and neven ending emails and tons of paperwork. But as they say, life is a balance. We will appreciate the holiday because we work hard. So thus the work. Im glad to have both in my world.

Halloween in Al Khor Community

Fun is how I describe the festivities of the underworld, Although to some people and religion this practice is taboo. I believe because of the commercial in nature, this event became popular around the world. As described by Wikipedea; 

Halloween or Hallowe'en (a contraction of "All Hallows' Evening"),^[5] also known as All Hallows' Eve,^[6] is a yearly celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31, the eve of the Western Christian feast of All Hallows (or All Saints).

Typical festive Halloween activities include trick-or-treating (also known as "guising"), attending costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching horror films.
