H&M In Abu Dhabi This November!

" I'm so excited and I just can't hide it, I don't wanna lose control but I think I like it! "

After a long time, yesterday was breeze for me, I'm not feeling well from my Dublin flight, I had colds and fever so I wasn't able to visit Penny's to do some thrifty shopping and see the view of Dublin. During noon time a dear friend invited me for lunch and we went to eat at my favorite Lebanese restaurant, had mixed grill and meat pie, hmmm, its been a long time!


Had a hearty talk and then I went to Abu Dhabi Mall to buy Actifed, my fast relief Colds and Cough medicine when my eyes went gaga seeing a red flashing announcement that next month, November, My favorite clothing store will open in Abu Dhabi... H&M!




Well a bit of information about my favorite brand.

H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB (operating as H&M), is a Swedish clothing company, known for its fast fashion clothing offerings for women, men, teenagers and children. H&M has around 2,000 stores in 37 countries and employs around 76,000 people. Their first branch outside Sweden is in Norway, opened 40 decades ago and then the expansion to other countries continued.

Many famous fashion designers collaborated with H&M including Karl Lagerfeld, Roberto Cavalli, Comme des Garçons, Kylie Minogue, Jimmy Choo and Lanvin.

So guys and gals!!! Get ready to spend your hard earn dirhams for H&M, Believe you me - quality, fashion forward designs and affordability = H&M. See you in November. It's in the west side of Abu Dhabi Mall, occupying the space of Paris Gallery, so it maybe from 1st to 3rd floor, Virgin Records side. Yipee!

Blackberry Service In UAE Continues!

Well after two months in LIMBO, UAE finally decided to keep the Blackberry service! Of course, can you imagine suppressing half a million subscribers just for what? Cultural or Safety and Security issues/crap?

This is really plain insane, they just think that they can get away with everything, Suppression is BAD ! Okay, we are just expatriates in this rich oil, (censored) country but we make this country, the UAE, Indians and Pakistanis built majority of the skyscrapers, Filipinos are mostly on Sales or Assistants and helpers and the Europeans and Americans, Locals sit in their high chairs and earn big bucks! Reality bites!

BB service is FUN! And now, its here to stay!

See full story!

The United Arab Emirates has called off a ban on Research in Motion’s BlackBerry service that would have left nearly a half-million users without the service just days from now, it announced today.


The U.A.E. is the first of a number of countries to directly resolve its dispute with Research in Motion, as India gave the BlackBerry creator two months to provide some way to tap into corporate email accounts before it executes its own ban. Saudi Arabia let the deadline for its ban on the service slide without major incident. The ban on the BlackBerry service in the U.A.E. was set to begin on Monday.

The U.A.E. was a particularly notable holdout as Dubai is one of the largest business hubs in the world. The ban would have blocked out the service for business travelers heading to Dubai and other parts of the U.A.E.
Representatives from the U.A.E. said a deal had been reached between the government and Research in Motion to make its devices compliant with local government laws, according to a report by the Associated Press. It wasn’t clear what concessions the BlackBerry provider made to government officials, but the wording of the agreement suggested it was a permanent one, the report stated.

The ban emerged after a handful of countries demanded that Research in Motion provide a way for government officials to tap into the BlackBerry service to view corporate email and messages. Research in Motion has stated before that it has no way to decrypt the data that goes through its network via corporate email accounts and provide governments with the actual data, and that it is on individual governments to request the encryption keys for the data from companies.

Investors took the news as a positive, sending Research in Motion’s shares up 2.6 percent to $49.15 as of 10:30 PST.
