Hello everyone. =)
Oh i miss you!!! It’s so nice to be home (home home and here home) =)
This was my 2nd outfit in Dubai, i had 4 days before Ramadan to wear shorts (They’re quite tolerant and forgiving but really, there should be no eating, drinking, smoking, music and legs/breasts exposure and PDA) so i took advantage of that since we were staying by the beach (Sofitel Marina) where it’s alright to show some skin. But it’s way too hot (and i mean HOT!) to stay out in the sun so i tend to stay indoors (malls) untill the sun goes down so i wore my new (and 2nd favourite) leather jacket, it can get quite cold inside the mall/shops/restaurants. So it’s a take it off-put it on business all day.=) Anyway, it’s fun because it’s like summer and autumn in one day. =)
And it was struggle because if i am out during the day, that’s a day without a single cigarette or even the smell of smoke from someone else’s. So i always have 2 choices, stay in our hotel room all day or go out and enjoy the day without cigarette, drinks of any kind and food. But sometimes the power of shopping is stronger than all that, even stronger than laziness or fever. So yes, i spend most of my days nicotine free but of course i had the world’s largest shopping mall (based on total area) to distract me. (It’s huge, even for the best (fast and good) shopper out there. You need a good pair of shoes and someone to help you carry the bags if you want to finish the shops. I go there like it’s my church but though i am familliar with my favourites, i still get lost.) I think you guys know how time flies when you’re shopping. I usually need to have my cigarette break+ milk tea in starbucks after almost 2 hours in Zara alone but i just pretended it’s closed for renovation and will open at 7:30pm! =) I can walk in these Wangs for 6 hours straight, but after that, a pair of gelly flip-flops or an hour in Starbucks to give the poor feet a rest is needed. There’s nothing more embrassing than walking in a nice pair of shoes and walking in them as if it’s your first time to wear real shoes, you know like Tarzan fresh from the jungle, wearing a pair of italian leather shoes for the very first time! And walking with someone who laughs at your pain is a bonus.=) He would carry all the bags but enjoys your every “ouch!”, he would even walk behind you to watch you ad maximize the pleasure and wait for you to say “Alright, that’s it! I’m walking barefoot!” I did that in the airport once. Bad traveller. =(
Anyway, i hope you like the outfit, i’d be doing a lot of feminine/adult things (you know me, i enjoy the trends =) but i will also do looks like these to keep the balance. =)
Last photo is a shot i took while we were AT THE TOP, the official name of the observation deck (124th floor) of the tallest building in the world, Burj Dubai (Officially Burj khalifa). One of my favourite places if not THE favourite, in the UAE. I wouldnt mind going there every single day in the whole stay (The shops, my little table in Starbucks, the fountain, the Burj, the VERY nice cinema, KFC (best chicken in the world!), hookah and moroccan tea, and my Shrimp Curry (Japengo).) but the man won’t give me the pleasure of course, not every day though i can still scheme my way back to that little Disney Land of mine, he’s a clever man, someone like Boris in Whatever Works (the latest by the great Woody Allen, which i will blog about soon) but i have my moments, there’s nothing like manipulating a king (Tudors?). He’ll catch me in the end but we’re already there!! =)
Hope you guys are having a good week, and thank you for the lovely comments and kind votes, really, thank you. =)
