Why Pinay Mom in Dubai?

Dubai is our second home. No doubt about it. I wouldn't forget the first time I set foot to this place tagging Ram with me who was only then 1 1/2 years old. As of today, we are almost in our 5th year and we continue to enjoy the perks and challenges of living in this amazing desert.

The reason of moving here was not something unusual and it wasn't easy as well. Paolo (my hubby) got an offer from one of the companies here as referred by a collegemate and friend. He went through the usual hiring process and fortunately got the job. Saying yes to the offer was not that easy, we weighed every thing, prayed really hard and finally decided that he will try it out here. Paolo had his first international flight on March 25, 2006, just weeks before Ram's first birthday.

Just exactly after 6 months, we have decided that Ram and I will join him for a vacation and get the feel of the country. At the back of our heads, if something works right for me, might as well stay.

The first two months was all fun, we visited a lot of "to go to" places here in Dubai and let me share with you our first beach escapade:

After two months of fun - having family time, attending job interviews and phone calls, a surprising news came and i felt the world shook for a second, I was pregnant. It was something we did not dreamt about - not in our wildest imagination. But then again, after a moment of whys and hows, we believed that God's wisdom and plans are far beyond our brains to understand and decipher. We know for sure then that He has better plans and so we lifted it up to Him.

Being diverted from being a working mom to a stay at home mom was a bit of an adjustment, i know i needed help. Also being new to the city i did not know then how to move around where to go and get value for our money, given then that resources were limited. That was when i started looking on the net "Pinay moms in Dubai" and too bad nobody at that time had the space to post the same sentiments as mine.

I created this blog to share a bit of my life, my family and every thing in between.

Hope you had fun reading my first blog.
