To heed the call of the Wild was the only way to survive. Buck struggled to learn life lessons in an undomiscated, severe, savage environment far from his previous master’s peaceful, and prosperous villa after he was stolen and sold to a group of men carrying couriers to and from the chilly North. It was indeed tough to…
There’s a reason the Zoldyck Family arc is a fan favorite! This arc plunges Gon and Killua into a heart-stopping adventure filled with action, suspense, and a blossoming friendship. Remember how Killua was held captive by his twisted family? Gon, Leorio, and Kurapika’s daring infiltration of the Zoldyck mansion was unforgettable. The place itself was…
On short notice, I was asked to arrange a meeting for 10 pax at Al Ain and prepare the accommodation and visa of a guest speaker coming from Qatar. If one is a GCC (Gulf Cooperation countries) national, she can get her visa upon arrival, but she happens to be Lebanese so she has to apply for…
Bored of my first few days at work, I downloaded an e-book “The Art of War“. T’was surely more than an ennui-buster. Though physically, t’was a painful read (the texts could be hardly seen as they were intentionally blurred), urging readers to buy the original copy, perhaps. I was glued to the lessons on the FIVE BESETTING…
Living on fear is advanced death. Thriving on doubts is rottening raw. Relishing fright is decaying alive. Murmuring dread is cursing life. What scares you? What makes your heart leap as kangaroos? What dims your wit and denies light? Facing the music? Dancing out of tune? Laughing alone? A mocking crowd? Long old age? Young death? Hurting words?Depressing news? Spoiling success? Haunting…
Here’s a film that lingers. Gripped by Max and Mary’s musical score, claymation, voicing (esp. Mary’s) and fresh dialog, (and monologue), I stayed wide awake ’til early morn. Of course a story’s charm mainly lies on the queer characters it has, who were introduced in a mode most oddly adorable: exchanging letters. How would you imagine a…
Three shopping malls were our targets: Battuta Mall, Emirates Mall, and Dubai Mall. I’ve been to Emirates and Dubai Mall, so only Batutta Mall intrigued me. The name alone would leave you wondering. What is it? Or more appropriate to say, who is he? After googling, I came to know he’s a wide traveler, imagine…
Hey, gear up! Oh, what a sluggard,what a pain! Get up, rise up, the sun’s hot and burning, Come on, gaze up, breathe in,and breathe out, Let some fresh air come in and blow thy lungs. It’s but another day, you’d wished never made.. It’s just but another day that’ll slip away, ‘Seize the day!’…
Surrogate mothers, or baby makers, are of interest to me. Uncomfortable questions keep bothering me about them. I first heard of this concept through a simple Sunday school story where Abraham slept with his wife’s Egyptian maidservant, Hagar. She bore him a child called Ishmael (the so-called father of the Muslim religion). Then I read…
