Deira Creek,Dhow Cruise for our Valentine's date

Feb.14,2014

After years of by choice and by chance,I did not have any Vday celebration,it was just a normal day for me.It was just to witness those people who are in love and just dream that one day,I will soon enough decide to date and God will bring me a good man to date.

Then it came,Ron and I met.Friendship blossomed,and rest is history.

Having him in my life is contagious,happy and cannot-be-described.Knowing that God gave him to me,everything else has to be just "thank you..."

As usual,and I think a norm in our relationship,we did not have a plan again for vday,i mean from me,but on his side,I was always guessing.

And then,finally,we decided to got to an adventure,to have a Dhow Cruise in Deira Creek.

It was cold,but I just decided to wear a tank top with blazer for one reason that I know of,we will have a long walk.He was worried at first because I wa wearing my elevated rubber flip flops.

But then I told him,it is comfy,made for walking,so It is fine.

It was actually a long walk since the time we started searching for a parking space.

And then we had to look for a wash room for him,which we eventually found out,was out of order.

So then we walked again,and then,the exciting part was,I enjoyed the boat,wherein you have to ride to cross Deira Creek,i remember the movie Dubai,when Claudine Barretto rode on that similar boat.Exciting!

Then we reached Dubai Old Souk.

It took us around 10 minutes to find the port where the Dhow cruise is boarding,and then had this photo before going in,note: this photo will costs 70 aed,with the Dhow cruise label and date.

When we arrived at the cruise,it was full,mostly Europeans having their respective dates.

We sat at the middle,and enjoyed the view and the slow,laid back travel of the ship.

The food was not that fantastic,although I certainly liked the fish fillet.The food,they call it International Arabic food which serverd pasta dishes,kebab,lamb and beef.

Jumeirah Beach and Burj Al Arab as the backdrop

October 16,2013

This was last year,when we all decided to have a sneak peak of Jumeirah beach early in the morning,for sunrise,and to celebrate the Eid holiday.

Ron,ate Lai and She were the joiners of waking up at 5am and heading to Jumeirah beach before the sun rises.

I always dream of having a picture with "the" Burj,so when ate offered me that it is nice to go there,i immediately agreed.

Jumeirah beach is a part of the long stretch beach resorts near my previous abode.We arrived there around 6AM,and we were joined by those few early birds,running and jogging around the beach.

Upon arriving there,I can't help but admire the view,and thanking ate that she brought her DSLR to have a vivid capture of the beach and "the" Burj.

It is a nice place to have picnics,perfect for get togethers and for families.And everything here is for free.You just have to bring your own mat and food,and voila!

These are some of the highlights captured by ate Lai's camera...

The Dancing Fountain at Souk al Bahar

January 13,2014

Ron and I decided that if we will go somewhere else,it should be to a place which we haven't been.So that we will both feel that it is our first time,so in one of our discussions,we once touched the topic about this dancing fountain in Dubai Mall which was mentioned by Aimee,a friend from work.

The original plan though is to go to Creek Park,to spend the night walking there and roaming around the park,but with a very bad weather,second option was just to spend the night to somewhere close(to him),because he works in Dubai Mall.

His suggestion made me giggle because part of my bucketlist is to see the dancing fountain.And we did.

We went to Souk Al Bahar,sort of a market,because souk means marketplace in UAE.It is situated behind Dubai Mall,and were surrounded by people from all walks of life.Waiting for the dancing fountain's appearance which happens every 30 minutes,which finishes at 11PM.

We headed to Serafina's,an Italian restaurant and this good waiter guided us to a nice place where we can find a perfect view of the fountain.

We ordered food,and while waiting for our food to be served,we finally saw the dancing fountain,at its finest.:-)

That is only a bonus,because being in Souk Ak Bahar is also the perfect place to have a perfect view of Burj Khalifa,the world's tallest building which will double your amazement.

The experience was both magical and captivating,the first time I saw the fountain,it is like your watching a movie,mesmerizing and astonishing.

Since we stayed for a long time time,we walked and enjoyed watching the surroundings of the place and enjoyed taking photos taking advantage of the cold climate.

We next plan to dine inside Burj Khalifa,and experience going at the top,hopefully soon,checking my bucketlist.

I have an overwhelming addiction to photos,so just bear with me,lol!

Til our next blog.miu,miu...
