Stupid or Abusive Drivers? B E W A R E

Are you a Defensive or an Abusive Driver?

Do you follow traffic rules? Parking rules? or just any rules? Hmmm! Me? Uhmm! Most of the time! Gotcha!

In Abu Dhabi, most of the drivers are either stupid, dumb or just careless! You can find here the most expensive cars you can ever imagine, either parked in a gutter or just around the corner! No worries! (Mafi Mushkilah! in Arabic) But since parking is the main problem here, cars are parked everywhere!

But never worry because police are there in most of the populated area ready to issue parking penalties for the offenders! Traffic and parking violations doesn't come cheap here!

If you don't pay, well, be ready for your license to be revoked or not renewed at all!

Radars are everywhere but still, many locals and some ignorant expats drives so fast they forget their humans!

So, as I was browsing kaboodle, I stumbled upon this great invention, printing your own Parking/Traffic violations tickets! Now you can have your own sweet revenge to the driver who cuts you while turning left or right or intentionally parked on your space. Let them know how you feel by putting the personalized parking tickets.

I may consider printing a couple. Just for fun! Why not!

Shout outs like: You stole my parking space, Your tail lights are busted! , Bad Driver!, Can You Read Traffic Signs? You drive too fast, don't you think? or SLOW DOWN PLEASE! and more. Use your creativity to let the A**h***s knows that they offended you! Ha Ha Ha

In Manila, try not to engange in traffic misunderstandings, most of them sacrificed their lives because most of the stupid and crazy drivers put the law in their own hands. For what, parking issues? Grrrrr

So this is a sweet revenge, besides, they will never know you're the one who put it right? Shhhhhhh! Just print any languages that will suit you! Moi? Arabic, English, Urdu, Hindi and Tagalog! Ha Ha Ha Ha

Disney's Magic Comes To Life

Me and my siblings grew on Disney's magical fairytale stories... From Cinderella to Aladdin's magic lamp. I felt that these stories relieve every childhood's fear of something, gives hope and faith of something special. I did believe that we can live happily ever after.

I stumbled upon  these beautiful photos of ANNIE LEIBOVITZ for Disney images from blackberry sherbet and my new favourite thing and fell in love with it. Imagine your Disney characters portrayed by some of our favourite Hollywood stars and sports idols. I LVoe!

I always have new year's resolution, were I list all my wishes to change what's the wrong things I've done last 2009 and correct it this 2010.

With courage and positivity, In god's will! I can manage to rearrange my life again.

Simple living yet stylish 2010 for me!

1.     I will try to SAVE again!

2.     Wait for DSF/GITEX sale or season's sale before buying stuff

3.     Think a dozen times before buying something, " Do I need it, or I just want it, questions! "

4.     Try to read educational stuff or learn new language " arabic or hindi (just kidding!) 

5.     Try to visit my family often

6.     Start going to the gym

7.     Watch my diet

8.     To finish paying the plastic evil cards (grrrrr!)

Courage is the name of the game. And I will play these wishes with determination. So I can at least accomplish half of it!

Beer Please

After driving for almost 4 hours, I think I need a beer-break!

Whew! Got my boarding pass printed, 41C and I may pass out as soon as I board the aircraft.

My feet hurts... Foot massage and spa please! As if I'm in the new first diamond class of my company. I can't afford $16,000 ticket fare for it! I can buy soooooo much for that return ticket to New York-Abu Dhabi!

Well, so much for my day dreaming, time to freshen up and head back to the airport!

Ciao...

Catch up with you guys after 14 hours!
