On December 2007 I first set foot to the glamorous city of Dubai. It is one of my so called “in a snap of a finger decision”. Low and behold, in a snap I packed my things, resigned from my job, bid sayonara to my friends, convinced my family and I that it will be a quick trip and I shall return in 5 years.
I know right! Ang pangakong napako! Its been 12 years and still counting. Kapit lang! Sayang naman, may visa pa ko e.
Honestly it’s a year of dreaming, planning, procrastinating, self doubting and hoping that one day I will press that publish button of my first blog post.
Bakit ko ba gusto mag blog? Lakas kasi maka-millennial eh.
Baka wala namang magbabasa ng
blog ko? Hindi naman ako interesting…
Anong isusulat ko? Aatakihin na naman ako ng paralysis option.
Pano pag nabasa to ng mga
friends ko? Patay! Mga grammar police pa
naman ung mga yun… Friend! Alam mo na kung sino ka. LOL!
Pano na kung mali ang grammar
and spelling? Waaahhh… nakakahiya naman…
Di pa nga sikat malalaos agad.
AARRRGGGHHHH… Bukas na nga lang…
Naubos energy ko!
Hayst! Those are just few of many criticisms that I throw on
to myself. But luckily I have reached the point of being tired in procrastinating.
The urge to write the blog is too strong to be be ignored. So… here I am, my
first blog post.
I am a Filipino expat working in Abu Dhabi and residing in
Dubai. I have been living and enjoying the multi-cultural and cosmopolitan city
for more than a decade. Yes! I am a proud OFW. Ang bagong bayani!
In my blog, I will showcase mainly my artworks and the city
that I live in. I will be sharing my progress
as I learn the art of traditional and digital medium while having a full time
job. Oh yes! I am an aspiring artist
that wish to share her journey and hoping that one day I will have my own
exhibit and able inspire someone who have the same dream.
