ARchicTECT

April, May, June, July was all concentrated on getting back on shape - health wise. So I was doing all the checkups and treatments. Also Went back to work.  I wanted to give up my stressful job then and find a less stressful one only to realize that there is no such thing. My company gave me a reasonable raise, and more managerial responsibilities to convince me to stay. I gave it some thought, and also for my love for my job I decided to stay.  At least with my current company they already know my capabilities and the history of my health so there's more consideration.  August we had a holiday in Sri Lanka of which I have shared  here  and  here . It was a last minute decision that we are very glad we did which led us to the discovery of this beautiful country. We Climbed up Sigiriya.. Our Hotel in Kandy.. The Safari Experience.. September was back to work briefly til it was time for Eid Al Adha October was Eid Al Adha Celebratio...

2013 has been really good to me.. I have to say that despite of the incident where I almost lost my life.. everything else was really good..

The beautiful masks.. and the Rialto Bridge..yeah, my scarf was messy.. i was putting it on and off! lol! and this is at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome with the canopy by Bernini.. Our Italy trip deserves a bl...

Hey Everyone! HAPPY 2014!! Yes I know, my greeting is kinda late.. but it is better late than never! Please let me explain..(drama!) First, let me say that we had a blast on our US trip for the holidays.. I am so happy to be with my whole family. Last time we were complete was 5years back and last time I spent Christmas with them was 7years ago. We have not been complete for Christmas for a very very long time. So it was indeed a merry Christmas for us. Okay.. going back to my explanation.. my jetlag was so terrible on my first week back in Dubai. The 9 hour difference was really a bummer! I was awake every night, have breakfast at 8am, then falls asleep at around 10:30-11:00 and I wake up around 3:00pm. This was how I was for about a week. Good thing Chief and I allotted days for adjustment and did not consume all the days of our holiday in the US so we have time to adjust when we get back. Another thing was there was a holiday the end of the week we got back. It was a thre...
