Googling and revisiting Mah Past Cribs



Location: Al Muraqabat A3 Zarooni Building 25°16"4.19"N 55°19'30.93"E
Feb 2005 ~June 2005

It all started here. I came here in Dubai along with 3 former accolades from Linksys Philippines looking for greener pastures. Surely we did. Currently Lou and Jessa are both working for a VSAT company, for Jules I'm not sure is she still works for the same contact center while I work for one of the newest and fast growing distributor in the Gulf region.

Vannie barged in after our two weeks of stay in the room then a surprise guest popped in the presence of Erwin. Gloria and Lenny completed the group after a month. Oh yes, Lars and Caroline came in the picture after the exodus of Gloria, Lenny, Jules and Jessa to their first job in the contact center. Erwin, a disturbed family man, left Dubai for Kuwait where he had a shortlived stint and came back to Dubai and eloped with his ex girlfriend Elsa.

Stayed there for 5 months or so...and was a forced evictee. No need to further explain. At peace na kami ng mga former housemates ko rito.

Dito nagsimula ang kalbaryo ng 4 na dalaga (kasama na ako dyan syempre). We only stayed here for a month at umalis na kami sa "Eeky Rigga"... Looool.



Location: Bur Dubai - 25°15'17.33"N, 55°18'04.96"E
Dec 2006 ~ Jan 2007

Living in Bur Dubai is an upgrade for us kasi maganda talaga yung house. But the landlord is a damn bastard butch at halatadong insecure sa amin. Ha ha ha. So we left her place in a month.


Location: Al Muteena - 25°16'37.21"N, 55°19'31.28"E
Jan 2007 ~ June 2007

Though the place is infested with Patans, we enjoyed this humble abode. We stayed here for the longest time because we found the place comfy and Sheraton Hotel is a few minutes walk only where all of us including Frennie and Myra became gym buds and jacuzzi addicts.




Location: Umm Suquiem 3 - 25°07'56.53"N, 55°11'36.61"E
July 2007 ~ Oct 2007

We only lived for 4 months because there was a scare that singles living in a villa are reprimanded which we dont want to happen. Too bad it has a scenic view of the only 7 star hotel the Burj Al Arab also, it's only a few minutes walk going to the beach.


Location: Al Barsha - 26°06'59.55"N, 55°11'39.35"E
Nov 2007 ~ Current

Just a few minutes walk to the colossal Mall of the Emirates which nests Ski Dubai the only structure in Dubai that has a ski slope.

O my...I need to sleep now.
