Personal: Global Village 2016

Hey peeps, went to Global Village this year and it had a new look! For those who don't know yet, Global Village is a cultural, entertainment, family and shopping outdoor destination in Dubai which only opens 4-5 months during the cold season. It was around 19°C when we went thus what we were wearing was just the right amount of knitted wear although I removed my scarf and beanie when we started walking around because it got crowded in some places.

The entrance was called the "Gate of the World" it looked better when it was darker because you could see it with the lights. I just read it is by far the largest gate in Global Village history, it has like 40 turnstile entrances and 40 ticketing counters. As I remember, they just had like a number of small gates around the park. Anyway! Once you enter this magnificent structure, you get welcomed with monumental structures from all over the world like the Tower of Pisa, Big Ben, Chinese Temple, entrance of an Egyptian temple, the Colosseum, and last but not the least, Burj Khalifa. YES! All of that behind that thing (see picture below, the first one)!

So, what are the things you can do in Global Village? Literally, you need a whole day to do everything or keep going back just to experience it all. Basically all you have to do in Global Village is eat everything you see. Sorry, but yes! All the different countries featured in the park will be serving their food. You don't have to shop or go play at the theme park, just eat! Anyway, just kidding I didn't even eat everything. I only ate the things I know, duh. Was there anything new I ate? Meh, don't think so. I got those shoes that have lights though.

Personal: My 19th Birthday

It was just a simple night out with the family (on April 28, 2013). I wish my friends from uni were with me to celebrate it though. Missing everyone! Animo Block 7! I celebrated my last two birthdays in Philippines, I really wished that more people were still in Dubai for this year :(

So this little photo op happened in  the car when my mother was catching up with her friend she met in church. Oh Pinoy mothers..



We had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe in Dubai Festival City as requested by the birthday girl, me! I had alcohol on my birthday in Dubai with my parents. Oh my god. 






And that's about it! Do I look nineteen now?

Personal: New Haircut

(not mine, got it from Tumblr)


I felt that I just had to go through a pixie cut in some point of my life and I chose to have it now before I turn 19 years old. Lena Dunham (Picture below on the Rolling Stone cover) was the one who made me finally do it! I'm a girl who's not in perfect shape and as well as Lena Dunham (although her shape is perfect for her) and usually you'll only see pixie cuts on moms or skinny confident girls with their prominent collar bones.

I got the haircut because I wanted something different and also it's summer. Ever since I can remember I've always wanted to have long hair but I never got to it because my hair takes so long to grow and I'm very impatient when it comes to my hair, and haircuts are so cheap in the Philippines. Anyway, here are pictures of the "haircut."

EXPECTATIONS





REALITY





It's not that bad..............

P.S. Sorry for the Justin Bieber cover. I'm a fan but I just had to!

Personal: My family's visit in the Philippines (January-February 2013)

My father's birthday celebrated in the Philippines after I don't know how many years. And because of that it was a big celebration where families from my dad's side came and shared a meal with us! This will just be a photo dump because I said so.





The one and only trip out of town and we went to Batangas. I just want to be an inspiration to the girls who are thinner than me and has no confidence to wear a bikini (char).

Best buy on the first of all the grocery-shoppings we did.


Christmas Eve and Christmas day at church! The famous tree in St. Mary's. 





New Year's Eve!




My last day in Dubai (Friday) we had lunch at The Cheescake Factory and then went to Global Village. It was also the same day I got my Instax mini 7s from my sister as a Christmas present.
