HOTTAH! HOTTAH!


The heat is on, on the street
Inside your head, on every beat
And the beat's so loud, deep inside
The pressure's high, just to stay alive
'Cause the heat is on
-The heat is on ( Glenn Frey)

While summer in the Philippines is about to finish in a few weeks, here in Saudi Arabia the temperature is rising like El-nino! The most annoying weather has just started and instead of enjoying the breeze and waves of the sea I'd rather stay at home and get rid from the harsh heat of the sun.

The weather here in Saudi has changed already and all I can say is it's summah time!. If people are going to the beaches to relax, here all you can do is just stay home and cool yourself because going to the beaches will not make you relax, instead it will burn you. Well, if you are rich enough like the locals here and afford to spend summer in Europe why not? And it's the season also where Saudis migrate, yes, they leave their country with their whole family and spend  3 months in Europe to escape the severe hotness.

Going further, how do you prepare for summer? Buying swimming attire or looking for vacation places? Well for me, hoarding water on plastic bottles and store them on the fridge and use for my daily bath hehehe. Water coming from the faucet is extremely hot and we do not have water cooler. Damn! This is the most annoying season wherein going out is not a good idea. As of now the temperature is quite tolerable but in the next coming weeks it could rise up to 50 degrees specially during the month of August. So expect nose bleed from me during this time.

EXPLORING THE MYTH BEHIND THE CAVE: A Day At The Judas Cave

Image
Whenever there is an opportunity to explore Saudi Arabia, I don’t hesitate to do it. Aside from the fact that there are only a few places which you can visit, going to these places alone is quite hard especially if you don’t have your own car. It was an unplanned trip; I was just tagged by a friend who has a guest from Jeddah, luckily I’m not busy that day, and even if I am I would probably leave everything just to join this trip. The weather is cold, perfect to roam around; a two-hour drive to the cave is not quite boring at all especially if you have a good companion and you are not the one driving. I’ve been looking forward to visiting this place quite some time but I just couldn’t find the opportunity. There have been plans before but nothing materializes, I thought I won’t have the opportunity anymore to see this place. The Al Qarah cave or popularly known as the Judas cave is located in Hofuf, a city in Al Hasa which is a part of the Eastern Province of

Tarout Island and Historical Village

Image
I was thinking of a different Friday routine since I usually spend my rest day staying at home, do the laundry, iron clothes and go out with friends at night to have coffee and eat. It has been a practice for about a year and a half now and I want to give my Fridays some twists and meet other people. I have been a member of couchsurfing for a year now and I have attended some of the gatherings in the previous months and I had an amazing opportunity to meet different people . This community is really wonderful specially you gets the chance to meet and mingle with different nationalities. Lately I have been organizing events for the group and I was happy to see some old and new members, we had bowling event in the past weeks and last Friday we had this Tarout Island Historical tour. I have always wanted to go out of my backyard and go to other places here in Saudi but I just don't have the opportunity, plus I don't have my car as well hahaha. The farthest I've

Travel Essentials: Basic things you want to bring when travelling

Image
What do you usually bring when you are traveling? What's inside your luggage when you go on a holiday? Aside from clothes, of course, there are some things that you don't wanna miss in your luggage when you go on a trip. I made my own list of things that I will bring when I go traveling, but of course, these things will depend on the place you are going to visit and what kind of activity you will do while on vacation. First on my list is my cell phone. I guess this is the most important (aside from money) thing that you shouldn't forget because aside from being a basic necessity, you can call your family or friends to give them update if you have reached your destination safely. Since phones now have applications, you can use your phone to connect to the internet and locate places through GPS in case you are lost or having difficulty in finding places. Since I love music, 2nd on my list is a pair of earphones, wouldn't be nice if you are traveling on a far pl
