I Can Smell The Tuesday

Almost everyday it is raining here in Dammam. The weather is getting colder and colder. And December is just around the corner. Actually Tuesday comes and I will be home at last!

But I am so busy now because of the audit visit beginning December 1. I am making it sure that my areas of concern will be as complete as possible for the audit team though my mind now is on "flight mode" and I am really exciting for the Tuesday exit. 

Yesterday I had bought some of the "pahabol na pasalubong" though I really make it sure that most of the pasalubong are all light since I will be alone in the flight so carrying a heavier load is not applicable.

I desperately need that Tuesday now!

Obsessed With Serial


I am listening now to Serial  via Soundcloud and I am really hooked. I am currently listening to episode 5 in which the latest on the site is episode 9. This podcast which making a huge buzz online and the most controversial and talked-about podcast of all time now got me and I am into it. It is like a lost obsession with radio back in my 80's days. And in line with my "addiction" with "How To Get Away with Murder" TV series which unfortunately aired the winter finale - Wes is the Killer - I have to wait till January to see the next episode. And thanks God I have discovered "Serial" and yes it is very addictive. I have explored exhaustively the internet about almost everything about Serial. And these are some of those sites:

QIPP








More Or Less I Will Buy Them




"CCR"


At the control room of Qurayyah Power Plant with Adel..got to update the IMS data on the computer there..

"Takipsilim"


Sometimes seeing the beauty in nature heals all the sorrows..all the unhappiness..all the pain..all the broken pieces..and I was not sleep that afternoon going home and saw those sights of setting sun to rest for another day..


Hungrier?


I think when it is cold I tend to feel hungrier than ever. I don't know but that's the way it is. So I had come to Khobar and ate some "dulong", BBQ and dinuguan..great Pinoy dishes!


And yes I will never leave my love for coffee..and this time it is Segafredo also in Khobar..loved their cappuchino and some bread..

New Hobby?



Ryan has a new hobby; taking photos of airplanes..I love it too..I really need to go home and we might have a photo session near the airport..
