Fashion and Art Invader: Summer Vacation 2013

It's summer time! We only had a very short time to enjoy our vacation because of my internship. This year, my mom and dad decided to have our vacation in Abu Dhabi, UAE. My parents work there. Rans and I had been there once, last 2005 for 2 months! Andrei was born in Abu Dhabi but this was his first time to really experience the hot weather in the Middle East. Because of my sched, we only stayed there for almost 1 month, but that 1 month was a blast and I can't even explain how happy I am to be with my parents for a month and in another country. (We are not allowed to wear shorts even though the weather is too hot, its their rule and we need to obey it.)

The weather was too hot as I said! Good thing was we have centralized AC, so when it's hot, we just have to open it and the whole flat will be as cold as an ice! haha. Bad thing was the weather gets hotter and hotter :( and I'm really thankful with the AC, maybe we should have that here in the Philippines- it's too hot!

First Day! at Abu Dhabi Mall

We got to play Bowling at Marina Mall and eat Filipino dishes outside the playing area. :D

Sheikh Zhayed Grand Mosque. It was an unforgettable experience. It's like 20-30 mins ride from our home, and we walked 10km (exaggerated! because it was so hot and we had to walk- from the back of the mosque to the front so we can enter. We also got the chance to walk on the sand! yipee), we are all exhausted but it was all worth it.

CORNICHE PARK! Last 2005, you can only swim beside the park as I remember. Now they have a public and private beach in the park! some parts are not finish yet and I hope I can comeback when it is all ready done. :) We got the chance to swim at the private beach because they have a "cottage"- we can't stand the heat on the public beach!. The people are only allowed to swim before the sun set, it was around 5-6 pm if I'm not mistaken.
