It will be our third month here on the 15th. And the temperature is rising. Literally. I just wonder where are all the trees in Saudi are? Oh no I have forgot this is a desert country! Thanks to the government that they have planted and supported trees even in the city that somehow made me realized how important even a single tree.

A couple of nights ago my room-mate invited me to go to Khobar since we had our salary and had money to spend on..and so we went to Khobar..We ate at Kabayan Restaurant..then at Ramaniyah we had seen some of our office-mates (they are from Bataan in our country) - and we had gone to Starbucks in the corniche..nice to have some other persons to be with in this far away country from home..Starbucks Khobar was quite big and most of the customers were foreigners including us hahahaha!

I love this photo of mine..just had a nice setting which technically I don't know as of now..just set it on the right angle with my curious eyes and then that's it.. Life is somehow not giving us the fullness that we deserved. There will always be something that is missing. But the good news is it is giving us the other half which are blessings to us. So just enjoy the water and nevermind this post hahahha!! just kidding! Think about it!

Thanks to Grover's Iphone - got these two photos (above and below) - Just last week I got the first major pressure in working here in Qurayyah IPP. Last Tuesday our manager Mr Sayied told us to go on overtime and finished the matching of items from Samsung ( the contractor) and from Hajr ( the owner) - we are the O&M operator . We had the list of items and the third one was from our main office in Jeddah and it was in SAP form. So we were the SAP rangers that day and night. It was about 1200 items to be inputted in the system to be able to create the very first PR for the spare parts initially needed for two-year operation of the plant. And so it went on smoothly until the system crashed! Yes the internet crashed that night on Tuesday and all of our data were lost. Not all at least. So our manager decided that the following day we should have our office work to be conducted in the Dammam Palace Hotel. And it was favorable to us. So on Wednesday we had our office work in t...

This noon and I was still half-awake, Florante called on my cellphone and I was surprised and somehow a little bit afraid since my manager asked me if I will be free this Saturday we will continue SAP PR creation. Thanks God it was Flor. And he just asked if Zander and Noel were here since he was looking for them at the Dammam Palace Hotel. Yes Zander and Noel are here now in our company! Yesterday I prepared my Nikon camera with its bag for another photoshoot that interested me. And that was so near in my room - just in another room hahahaha!! In Ayie and Grover's room. Thanks to Ayie for giving me those photography video. I think this camera which I have bought serves two purposes - to capture those things which appear to be beautiful to me and to pass the time here in Dammam. Stress here is apparent nowadays though I believe my body is well-rested everyday but somehow the obvious reason that I am here which is very far from my comfort zone, makes me stressed out sometim...

Sometimes our life is just like our laundry waiting to be dried..still no sun..no wind..just hanging there.. Sometimes our life is just like the flying birds..just wandering around..gliding everywhere..no specific point of direction.. Sometimes our life is just a door..waiting to be closed..waiting to be opened..the question is "when?"..the question is "how?"..just wondering in a lazy Saturday rest day in Dammam..

Most of my work day, as it denotes, begins with the checking of my email. I have to open my Gmail, my Yahoo mail and Hotmail to get some trash messages from around the web and have to filter some meaningful attachments and information from my closest friends or colleagues. And this morning I have seen this comment. Oh my, my classmate got a very critical comment on my grammar usage in one of my blogs. Well thanks to him and I explained it dearly. So what's the point now? I don't know. All I know sometimes we are lost and we should be lost once in a while to find ourselves again. Just like last week we were in Abqaiq, a place just near our plant in Qurayyah, and we were looking for a new house to be rented. Our management had just decided that most of the employees should stay in Abqaiq so we decided that we should at first look for a decent house there. And so we trooped there and we were not surprise that some of the house for rent had just skyrocketed the price! Law ...
