DUBAI: The Place to be?

Hhhmm Dubai... actually before, when I was still in Pinas, I always hear Dubai... Si ganito nag Dubai, yung pinsan ng kapatid ng friend mo nag Dubai, yung elementary teacher mo nag Dubai. Basta all I know its in the Middle East hehe then eto na lumabas ang movie na Dubai haha so sige matawa na kayo pero aaminin ko na, pinanuod ko sya hehe eh bakit ba eh maganda yung Milan na movie ni Claudine so pinanuod ko din ito hehe. And that time I had plans na for applying as a cabin crew na base here in Dubai nga.

So ayun I watched the movie and had bits of background about Dubai, basta what I really remembered was you can leave your bag anywhere and no one will attempt to steal it haha but I haven't tried it yet, takut ako eh hehe. Til now I don't know whats the reason behind it, is it because peeps here are rich or mahirap na makulong dito kasi bitay na garote ang parusa...ata. Basta alam ko pag nahuli kang drunk then you have no liquer license, mamili ka! 80 slashes or 3months in prison haha kaya ako ice tea nhaks hehe. But kidding aside, I guess Dubai is a safe place naman especially with the ladies, untouchable nga ata sila dito. Its unfair! its unfair! haha

But to tell you the trueth, when i arrived here eh di ko na-feel that I was in a different part of the world because para naman syang Pinas, the ambiance, the look, para syang Ayala hehe unlike in European countries na talagang ma-fi-feel mo na asa kakaiba kang lugar. At eto ang the best, when you go to the mall, kahit saang mall ha, it will remind you of SM kasi...surprise mga 80% ng tao ay...Pinoyski haha so I was glad naman kasi whenever I'm in a shop tas complicated i-explain, I'll just ask them "Is there any Filipino here?" hahahahaha eh para mabilis na diba! Kapagod mag english eh hahaha. Tyaka here in Dubai, traffik din everwhere lalu na pag rush hour...ang nakakatawa ika nga sa bestfriend kong si Cliff, traffik sya tapos you'll wonder why baka may nasiraan, baka may aksidente, baka sira traffik light...pero pag natumbok mo na ang source of traffik, eh wala lang pala dadaan ng tulay kaya pala traffik hahaha yun lang or bigalng umambon tas ka-gulo na mga driver dito haha kasi nga nag babago na din climate here. Many people said that di daw umuulan dito at all tas ngayon aba pouring rain ang drama kaya rresulta ay...bilis mag baha kasi dessert nga toh before so they did not make a kanal or imburnal for the water to get thru.

I can say that ang yaman ng Dubai, makikta mo sa mga bagay bagay dito like bulidings, malls etc. The buildings here are unique, may asa dagat, meron mala ginto, may parang monggol pencil, may hugis wave at kung ano ano pa. Dito din ginagawa ang tallest building na bamboo inspired o diba san ka pa! anung sabi?! hehe kaya naman they say na If your an engineer or an architect eh yayaman ka dito. Pero teka mura din dito ang cars because walang tax dito saya diba! kaya naman normal nalang mga jag and yung mahal din mahirap banggitin eh basta yun. Wala lang you'll see theme everywhere. Yes, developed na nga ang Dubai pero may dessert part pa naman sya like dyan in my picture hehe. Pati pala taxi dito ay mababa....kayo na mag kumpleto haha pero okay sakanila di sila nagagalit pag mala school bus tipong manunundo ka ng apat na friends mo hehe and walang tip tip dito noh eh kung mag drive sila daig pa roller coaster! hehe pero may mga mababait naman karamihan mga Pinoy barkada nila. There was a time nga na he was playing a freestyle cd "bakit ngayon ka lang" then i asked him "do you understand the song my friend?" aba he explained it to me nga! kape! hehe

Siguro for us Pinoy dubai is the new Saudi..tama ba or same lang yan hehe. But then again, its not a walk in the park when you go here. Of course theres still the challenge of getting a good job and accomodatin kasi super mahal dito. Kaya most of the jobs here may kasama nang accomodation and transpo going to work. Kaya bilib ako sa Pinoy eh! hard working talaga wala ako masabe yeeeeessss! halatang miss na ang Pinas.

Yes I do, huhuhuhuhuhu ;c
