LATEST RIYADH ADVENTURE

I went to Riyadh to celebrate with good friends for Dennis’ Birthday Party last Thursday. As usual, I got to see old friends and made some new ones. It was fun to see them, how I wish I could have the same friends here in Alkhobar. The trip was 4 hours each way, a little tiring, but it was all worth it to see friends. Here are some shots from the party with friends.  Okrayin niyo na lang sila sa comments hihihihihi.

This is Mark-it. Hahahahaha

Sila ang may sala kung bakit naubos ang food sa buffet table.

And finally, hindi naman maaraw pero rosy cheeks ako.

Kailan kaya ulit ako makapuntang Riyadh?

Some Pictures from my Latest Riyadh Adventure

Many thanks to Robert and Dennis for being wondeful hosts again. See you in Riyadh soon.

My first stop was to see my Former Colleagues

Charmed One and Robertisms
getting ready to go out.

Picture muna before we head out for lunch.

Omar and his Baby Cheese.

My hosts Dennis and Robert with Myx

Ang mga latecomers.

Better late than never.

First, I would like to thank my friend Robertisms for the nice words you said about me on your post last Wednesday http://www.robertisms.blogspot.com/ basahin ninyo para malaman ninyo na mabait pala ako. Hahahahaha, and too many other thanks for your hospitality during my weekend visit to Riyadh.

Time flies when you’re having fun. True talaga ito, especially during my weekend visit to Riyadh. Feeling ko time really went by so fast.

I saw a lot of friends while I was there, thanks to the generosity and hospitality of my hosts Robert and Dennis who held a Swim party for friends while I was there. I felt as if I never left but I also felt like I missed out on so many things.

My New Bike

Me and my new Bike.

Ang taray di ba? Hahahahaha

Hindi na ako ngayon nagda drive. I bike.

Medyo malaking change di ba?

Ngayon lang ulit ako nakapag bike.

Siguro the last time I rode a bike was maybe 6 years ago?

Parang bumalik ang kabataan ko.

I have been planning to get a bike for 2 weeks already. I thought that it would help me at least ease the boredom, with a bike I can go to Corniche and bike all day. Hahahaha, well maybe not all day but at least it will help me past the time, and good cardio exercise too right?

Scenes from Alkhobar

At the Starbucks Corniche, ayaw mainitan ng mga people.

Walang nakaupo sa labas. Lahat nasa loob.

Nag yosi ako, sa labas ako umupo after a cool down inside.

Part of the Corniche Highway, malapit na ang Starbucks

(hingal, hingal, hingal)

Tahimik ang Corniche Highway, maaga pa kasi,

pagsapit ng dilim traffic na naman. I’m sure……

Corniche Overpass.

Nasaan ang mga vendors?

Walang nagtitinda ng dyaryo?

Walang nagbebenta ng balot?

Kunwari fresh, pero actually pawis na pawis ako niyan.

Kailangang lumabas lang ng Starbucks para mag suba

ANG INET !!!!!!!!!!

AMPOOTAH ! DALAWANG GUHIT NA LANG MATA KO !

NYAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Parang gusto ko na ngang lumangoy.

Nagpawis na ang mga kasingit singitan ko.

Looks inviting.
Ginusto ko na talagang lumangoy.
In fact.

I just took a picture.
Hindi pa ako nakapasok dito.

Thirst quenching ang aking Java Chip Frapuccino

Lastly, when I went to Al Rahmaniya, the mall close to
my house. Jampacked ng mga Pilipino. 95% dyan sa crowd
mga Kabayan. May bumibili, may nakatambay,
may kumakain, maraming Kabayan from other
provinces like Jubail, Qatif, and Dammam,
mayron nagpapalamig lang.

Thursday Evening:

After my flatmate left, I am all alone. I know I should’ve left for Riyadh, but I had to do the last minute things with him so I stayed. Pero anong gagawin ko ngayon dito sa bahay mag isa? Watch TV forever? Hindi yata maganda iyon? So I showered and dressed up. Now my dilemma – Where am I going? I decided to as usual, visit the bookstore which is just a short walk from my house and have dinner at Applebees which is just beside the bookstore. The night air was cooler and the humidity much lesser than it was during the day. Sa bar na ako kumain kasi my friend was tending the bar at Applebees and since first time ko dun, and I was alone, siyempre shyness ako.

The next day, after vacuuming, cleaning, and ironing all my clothes that needed to be ironed I decided to go out and take pictures of Corniche. Ayan sa taas ang aking mga nakuha.

FPJ – First Post in June

Eric and I after our dinner at China Gate Restaurant

last Thursday night. Buffet Dinner Buddy ko siya.

I can’t believe its June already? June is Super Duper Humid here in Alkhobar. People are sweating like crazy!!!! While I was out with a friend last Thursday night, I can feel sweat drenching my shirt. Grabe ang humid !!! Di bale since its June already, six months na lang ang hihintayin ko till I can go for vacation!!!! Naku, saan na naman kaya ako makakarating? Good luck na lang sa aking mga eyebags na naman Hahahaha. I have been in Alkhobar for 52 days now and so far everything is going well here at work. Ang hindi lang masiyadong kagandahan ay ang aking Social Life. Bored pa ako ngayon ng slight kasi I have very few friends !!!! Hindi ako sanay na nasa bahay lang ako !!! I don’t go out much kasi I don’t have anybody to be with. I only have a handful of people that I know and some new friends that I’ve met. Hindi naman ako loner. I don’t like going out alone. I like conversations, di ba masarap maglakwatsa sa mall nang may kasama?

Mayroon din naman akong Monday Night Dinner Friends pero may trabaho sila during weekends. So hindi sila free kaya pano na ako? Kaya pa naman sa ngayon, dinadaan ko na lang sa panonood ng movies on DVD and I recently bought new books too to help me with the boredom too.

Six months pa !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Evolution

Ito ang epekto ng sobrang droga!!!

Huwag po siyang gayahin.

Patnubay ng Magulang ay Kailangan.

This is was during my First Year in KSA

Just got out of Law School

TH naman ako dito.

I can still remember the studio where this was shot
Mahihiya sa akin si Sheryl Cruz sa sobrang pa cute ko dito.

Ayan na nga ………..
Rosy cheeks nga, plump cheeks naman.

Hahahahahaha

Hindi kasi nagdahan dahan ………

In fairness, I still look good. Hahahahaha

Medyo dyahe itong post na ito, kasi I’m showing my pictures from my skinny to my not so skinny days. I feel comfortable in my skin now, kahit na medyo not so skinny na ako Hahahahaha. And besides I’m not that fat anyway.

The ironic thing is, just because I’m self deprecating, some people take it as a sign that its ok for them to tease me as well about my weight. I just let it go most of the time, opting not to waste my time on feeling bad about it. But Bestfriend has told me many months ago that inspite of the fact that he teases me about my weight, I was not fat, it was just that when we were together I looked fat because he was super lean. And I still had many fans Hahahahahaha.

My New Haircut

I got my first haircut in Alkhobar. I don’t like it much. Actually, I don’t like the picture much, see the tie I’m wearing? I used to love it, but now I find it corny, but I still wear it sometimes. And I used a short sleeved shirt today. Well to make the a long story short, this picture does not do me justice. But hey? Even Charmed Ones have bad days right?

I just had to get a haircut since I was getting tired of my long hair, but I wanted to have it longer so I decided to have it cut so I can have it longer when it grows out eventually. And when it gets longer it would look better. I hope?

This picture was taken at the office, this afternoon. Thanks to Albert, my colleague who I learned also has his camera always in his bag. So I guess, I’m not the only one. And I guess I’m not weird.

I just had to ………

Wow!!! Sarap ng Dinosaur !!!!!

Hmmm. Dagdagan mo naman …….

Evereybody Busog, Everybody Happy. Simple

I just had to post these pictures. These were taken last Wednesday when Dennis and Robert visited Alkhobar, this is during our dinner in Chilli’s. Thank you to Robertisms who sent me the pictures via email. Kasi nakalimutan ko camera ko sa sobrang excitement.
