The need to dye

November 22, 2011

On my birthday, I did something I’ve been dying to do for ten months now: I colored my hair. How this is kind of a big deal? I used to color my hair (covering the gray) every four weeks. Ten months of  just letting it all go without coloring made me look and feel really [...]

Pregnant ladies, lucky?

May 14, 2011

So I was shopping for shoes this afternoon together with Pristine. Ah, constantly growing feet! How many of you moms have wished your pockets grow as much as your little one’s feet or bodies do?

I’m a late bloomer kind of Gleek

January 9, 2011

This really has nothing to do with Dubai or living in Dubai but there is a reason that I’ve been slacking from writing blog posts since the new year started.

Kodak photo contest

September 20, 2010

Thank you very much to all who heeded my plea and left a comment on my photo entry at the Kodak contest. I appreciate each and every one of them. Unfortunately, my entry did not earn the most number of comments so I didn’t win first prize. I was however, a runner-up, which is great. [...]

Monday mystery

August 30, 2010

Pristine: “There’s poo on the floor!! There’s poo on the floor!!” My mom and I dropped everything we were holding, paused whatever we were doing and rushed to the living room where the scream came from. Poo!? Pristine had been out of diaper (and of course toilet trained, she’s almost seven) a long time ago…like, dinosaur-wiped-out-of-the-face-of-the-Earth [...]
