Since my parents are here in Dubai to spend their holiday, allow me to share their Dubai experience with you all. :) I’m really happy that my folks were able to experience and see what Dubai has to offer. So far 3 malls pa lang ang napupuntahan nila. 

Trying to make this visit a memorable for my parents in a simple and not so magastos as possible. I'm a simple OFW and don't have much of money to lavish them in different luxurious hotels / restaurants here in Dubai but I'll try my best to let my parents experience the best of UAE in my own simple way.

iFly is one of the attractions @ Mirdif City Center and it's always been a dream for me to try this out. But unfortunately I don't think that the cost of this experience is reasonable coz it almost cost my monthly mobile plan so I'd rather try their photo booth instead! Sabi ko nga...Safe na toh! Libre pa! My parents trying the photo booth...and look at the amazing ceiling of this mall...they put a lot of effort for this...my folks are impressed.

 Met my parents and friends for a dinner @ Deira. We went to Shabu-shabu and the place is overseeing the Dubai Creek where most of the Dhow cruise are passing. The weather is so nice that you'll enjoy sipping the hot soup of shabu-shabu. They like it both and i'm thinking of having another stop before my parents went back to Philippines.

Dubai Festival City is one of my favorite mall here because it's not crowded and they have IKEA! Had our dinner at Toni Roma's and let my parents taste the French macaroons! I realized na adik din pala sa picture ang parents ko...kala ko ako lang..ung pala e nagmana ako sa kanila hihi

New Pope to Rule the Catholic Church

Waiting for the name of the new Pope to be announce!

I'm so amaze to see the crowd outside St. Peter's Basilica patiently waiting for this historical announcement of the next leader of the Catholic church - Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio from Argentina will be known as Pope Francis.  

Praise God for giving us a new leader to lead our Christian Faith!

Marhaba! Welcome to Dubey Mama & Papa!

For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing (Ecclesiastes 3:1-22)

For the 3rd attempts my parents finally made it to Dubai! Yey!

It was in 2008 when we had our 1st attempt for my parents to visit us here (kompleto pa kami ng mga kapatid ko dito non) but my mom had her mild stroke so I had to cancel their tickets since her doctor didn't allow her to travel. 

Then 2nd attempt was on January 24, 2013. Everything was settled, I got their visas and tickets but this time my father had the mild stroke naman so I had to rebook their tickets for March 3, 2013. 

And March 3, 2013, God's perfect time. My parents finally arrived in Dubai!

It's my parents first time to ride in a plane and go out of Philippines so me and my siblings were worried  that they will travel by themselves but in God's grace everything went well. They arrived here in Dubai - Safe & Sound without any hassle from the immigration or during the flight.

To God be the glory!
