		<description><![CDATA[Like a few lucky kids, I grew up hearing stories from mom &#8211; whenever she was in the mood to tell tales &#8211; real or not. Now that I&#8217;m far and well, I should admit, a grown-up, I suit myself with audio books or excerpts available online. To spice up my domestic chores, I listened ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bobby Fischer Against the World is an insightful look at the life of a chess genius. As they always say, talent is one thing, deliberate practice is another. Bobby has both. Son of a brilliant woman, Regina, he had the make-up of a genius that manifested through the superior battle of the minds- chess. Bobby&#8217;s ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Food? Friends? Freedom? Faith? Future? I am used to living like a hermit &#8211; less religious than a monk. In my 2 years in the UAE as an expat-worker, I haven&#8217;t been to a lot of places enviable and worth-telling. Dubai is superficial. Its bustling nightlife never attracts. Its man-made tourist spots don&#8217;t really charm. ]]></description>

The Jebel Hafeet Mountain is the only mountainous area in Abu Dhabi, UAE. It rises 1300 meters above sea level (thanks, Corey for the comment) and is a part of Hajar mountains bordering Oman.

Ika ng anak, &#8220;ang makatapos ay aking karapatan, Aking mga magulang, marapat lang akong tustusan, Yaman nila&#8217;y para sa aking kinabukasan, Dugo&#8217;t pawis nila&#8217;y ibuhos, sa&#8217;kin lang ilaan.&#8221; ]]></description>

Point is..I want these shaken off. The toughest part of the year is about to come: the ending. As my favorite quote reminds me: Better ]]></description>

However, at times, we can&#8217;t help being baffled by a seemingly easy question: What to give on Christmas? Roaming around Wafi City for hours didn&#8217;t help me find gifts that match the people I have in ]]></description>

Sa halos dalawang-taon kong pananatili sa UAE, ngayon pa lang ako nakatagpo ng kasambahay na maituturing kong &#8220;uncle&#8221;. Madalas kasi sa mga kalalakihan dito, palainom, palakain, palatulog.
