Two Years and Counting...


Feels like yesterday when I was drafting a blog post about my first year here in Dubai, and now here I am, working on an entry for my second year! As the cliche goes, time really flies when you're having fun!

Photo taken from HERE.
Unlike the first year where I found myself mostly on the adjustment phase, this year was more focused on more learning, more friends, and even more blessings.

Here are few highlights of the year that was...

Got back home for a short vacation on December in time for my sister's wedding and was also able to go on road trips and adventures, and celebrate Christmas, New Year, and my birthday with my family!

Got to catch up with my college best bud after what seemed like forever. Let's do this again when I get back!

Officially became a verified Zomato reviewer/blogger which brought about more food trips and more foodie friends.

Got back to healthy living and eating. Yup, my battle with PCOS is still not over I'm already seeing improvements. Yay! Special thanks to my coach! :D

And  most importantly, I have a healthy family which I can't wait to come home to this year and of course Mark who is finally here with me in Dubai (well he's currently in Thailand and I can't wait for him to come back)!

Yup, it's been two fun-filled and blessed years. Although some trials were still inevitable, I cannot thank God enough for giving me the best people to help me make it through (you all know who you are!).

And oh, my blog took a little revamp, what you do you guys think of its sort of new look? Let me know on the comments section below. :D
