Now that wifey is preggy, we have decided that we should only focus on one baby in our life. And to do that, we have to part with our MiMi the cat. The last few weeks, MiMi has been quite noisy for our taste, and maybe it's our fault since she's used to the sun and the grass and her freedom to run around and mingle with other cats. Maybe our choice of appartment-housed the cat is wrong, and that maybe we imprisoned her in a smaller environment.
We returned her to the place where we found her - our earlier villa. She was groaning and meowing the whole 30 mins I was driving, and I was afraid that she did not adjust to the heat and the sun. But once we reached the villa, wifey opened the car door, and she got out, went inside, and never looked back. I guess she was homesick and was glad to be back home.
Sigh.

RAV4 - Rebirth...
MTV's Pimp My Ride is one of my favorite shows, though the UK version sucked big time. If you must know, Pimp My Ride is about picking an old, ugly looking car and turning it into a high tech, brand new ride, with tv's, sound system, and other gadgets.
It has been a dream of mine to pimp my RAV4, and before we went on leave last July, wifey said... Go ahead... Pimp it! So I did.
Check out my brand new ride.
So thanks Nooner, for Pimpin' my ride!

Good times, bad times, gimme some of that...
An eventful week once again. Good news, bad news? Let's start with the good...
Wifey is preggy. Yep folks... I am gonna become a dad. Like big news. So far it's exciting, not feeling the nervousness or the Shrek 3 syndrom.
So yesterday, I sent the following text to a group of friends on my phonebook:
Did you hear the updates? Bourne Ultimatum and Sturdust are showing this week. Yay! Tagal ko hinintay to! Nuod tayo ha! Oo nga pala, I'm gonna be a dad.
So I get the following texts from friends:

Badz: naks d ka pla baog hehehe

My conversation with my younger sister goes like this:

E: nasa work. Nasa meeting. Pede ka tumawag after 30 mins?
G: May sasabihin lang ako.. You're gonna be an aunt.
E: Ah ok. bye.
Hehe. and she left me a comment on friendster. I want little scheela not little glenn... pls... ok?
LOL
By afternoon, I called up the clan in Canada. Twin says that she wants it to be a girl ... Nephews says they want boy. And I told Mama that she should come here for 6 months to take care of them, because she did the same thing to twin's kids. hehe.
***
On a very sad note... Allan's dad just passed away this morning. Allan is perhaps the closest friend I have here in Dubai, and it's an added bonus that he is married to my wife's cousin. So every get together with them is a blast. So dude, my sincere condolences, and remember that we are here for you.

So it begins again.
I knew I will run out of things to write sooner or later.
***
So what happened in the last 3 months? Well, wifey and I went home for vacation. I'll put different posts for the events.
***
Still feeling the jet lag. Keep waking up at 4am. Recovering from a flu.
***
I am haunted by an action I did not disapprove. Every cry, whimper, groaning reminds me of that mistake, makes me want to bury my head in the sand. The egyptian gods are not pleased.
***
Busy, busy, busy. Will update later.

Paddling
Buwahahaha... Why? I dunno.
So yesterday, I participated in the 2nd Dragon Boat Paddling Competition held at Mina Siyahi, Dubai. After registering and receiving my Dragon Boats Alive (DBA) t-shirt, cap and bandana, wifey and I relaxed by lying on the beach chairs admiring the white sand and view.
The main problem with the DBA team is that there are more women than men members, while other teams like DFD (Dubai Flyin Dragons) and the Noodle House teams have ample members to make 2 teams. That would make me a huge asset (Hah, they wish).
So there I was, on my first round of the day, on a 20-man team with 7 males, and 13 females, and our opponent had around 12 males (I think). As we paddled to that starting line of the 500 M course, I instantly knew I made a huge mistake by not stretching properly. See when the race started, I gave my all, and by the last 200M I was almost out of breath. My arms were exhausted and my plam was almost numb. Wifey told me that the first match was the most exciting because no one knew who was going to win, since it was neck and neck. Sadly, we lost by 2 seconds. :(
When we got back to the beach, I immediately went to wifey to have my plam massaged, because it was so numb that I couldn't even clench my hand to a fist. After resting for 45 mins while watching the other races, I told her that I want to quit now before joining any other races because my body couldn't take it. So I go to Chantelle who is the DBA coach, and before I could even say anything, she goes "Glenn, the 12-man mixed race will be starting in 10 mins. Get yourself ready, and you're one of the 5 guys in." oh no.
So I get on board, and apparantly, we have to do a 5 minute paddling because The One TV news crew is on board and the interviewer wants to make his statement while we row. :( Thats an extra 5 minutes paddling. But guess what, we won the first match! My kabayan in front of me (Dan) was a big help. He had so much energy that it fed into me, and in the last 100M, when we were pulling away, he just gave a small grunt and paddled like anything, and I did the same. Wow. We were so exhausted and overjoyed at our first victory! That puts us in the finals, where we started to pull away from DFD in the last 250M! We won! Woo hoo! I WON!!!!
So there you have it. Our picture (sadly I wasn't seen in it) was published in Emirates Today today.

Baarrffff
Since I'm on my "save-money" mode, I have started eating Shawarma for lunch again... not that I'm complaining, coz I love shawarma, but wifey has been complaining about my drinking with Coke/Pepsi in the evenings because when I burp, the smell of wild garlic just comes out... I do think that it's gross, but I can't help it. I like garlic filled shawarma... I guess I just have to buy mint gums from now on.
