Dubai Creek Photowalk
May 18, 2015 with JIL DXB Phototeam. It was holiday in Dubai and I was invited by some friends to have an early jog and photowalk slash street tour by the Creek. Using our phone, we were tasked to take black and white shots to be printed plus best shots we can take for Instagram. I had fun!

3. People say you are a good listener
4. You like to think about and choose your words carefully before speaking
5. Dislike conflict
6. You prefer to work alone and without interruptions
7. When stressed or need to recharge, you spend a few days alone by yourself.
8. Often express yourself through writing
9. People describe you as “soft-spoken” or “mellow”

11. You don’t normally like to take the lead, but will step up when no one else will.

Running Ground in DXB
Running for me is an exercise, a discipline and a metaphor. It builds patience and character in a way that it push you to goals.
In 1 Cor 9:4 it says to run the to get the prize. What then is the price of running for me? Physically, it's for good health and maintaining a good weight. Spiritually, to obtain the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. It is to continue to finish line regardless how tired you are, how tempted to stop at mid-goal, to stop at frustration
At wit's end, I am greatly drawn to this passage:
1 Samuel 30:
6 David was greatly distressed because the men were talking of stoning him; each one was bitter in spirit because of his sons and daughters. But David found strength in the Lord his God.

You had me at hello, I had you at Dubai
After six months of hibernation from blogging, I was inspired to write again after reading some travel blogs. I'm now in Dubai, the farthest place so far, I have been on Earth! I never imagined before I could be here to find a work.
So the past years, well after that physical fitness phase, I've tried so many adventures in the Philippines til one day, a friend opened up the idea of visiting Dubai. I have a stable job in the Philippines then I woke up one day, I am already here! I've been a bum for three weeks til today, I am waiting for my employment visa before I exit to probably Oman for the tourist via be cancelled and my passport to be stamped with working Visa.
So that's just a brief blog. Hoping to write more soon here!
