This day is the most unproductive yet tiring day I’ve had in the land of Sand and  Shawarma. Well, I’ve only been here for 2 weeks. But still. This day is very lulzy though. We spent around 160dirhams(1920php) on all the taxi rides! WTF!

Somewhere in dubai:

Indian interviwer dude: Are you from China?

Me: (lolwut) No sir, Philippines.

Him: Aah, are you part Chinese?

Me: Yes, my grandfather is Chinese.

Him: I see. Which kind of women do you prefer? Chinese girls of Filipino girls?

Me: (lolwut) Half-breeds are superior. Based on experience.

Him: HAHA! I like your answer. So now that we’re relaxed and comfortable. Let’s proceed to the acutal interview.

Him: Hmm, I don’t see any marketing experience in your CV(resume), all I keep seeing is the word ‘computer’. Please tell me why you’ve chosen to apply to our marketing branch?

Me: Marketing? So THAT’s what I’m applying for!

Him: …

Needless to say, I got canned lol. Oh well.

*Another expensive taxi ride back to the City Centre*

At the Dubai City Centre mall’s food court:

Cute Japanese gurl: すみません。。。something something。。。ですか？

Me: Eh?

Her: Eeeh?

Me: わかりません

Her: @_@ EH? *pouts* (must be surprised that I was able to tell her that I don’t understand her)
Me: Eh? O.o

Turns out that she was asking if I knew where the bathroom is or something. I guided her to the wrong direction. Oops?

Note to self: GET A FUCKING LOCAL SIM! This is the nth missed opportinity!
PS. DEODORANTS, MOTHERFUCKERS! DO YOU USE IT!? No wonder my Arab cousins hate your kind.

It took 7 despedidas, my wallet’s last dying breath, a kidnapping, my friends finally seeing my house and a LOT of road trips(and getting lost), but I’m finally leaving!

I’ll promote this hairstyle there.

Thanks to all my friends who made my last 1 1/2 months here crazier and funnier than ever. Each of you will recieve a bottle of sand when I return.

CIAO, BITCHES~

YM status message: Simple enough, yes?

 

 

Apparently not. What have you done, Ren!?

 

You too!?

 

Click for Zyon:

Sorry kids, now you’ll think twice before buzzing me while I’m playing DotA.

 

Buti pa si Karol.

Thanks for the shoop, Yukino.

 

PS. Buzzing me doesn’t really affect my game lol.

It seems that spending 4 hours in the bathroom re-reading the tales of Morpheus of the Endless, consuming half a pack of Dunhill Frost, Chai tea and Butsi while listening to Air Supply songs wasn’t a very effective way of dealing with Depression..

Cigarettes and tea simply don’t mix.

Eating Butsi while sitting on a toilet is just weird.

Air Supply only made it worse.

And I’ve OBVIOUSLY chosen the wrong comic to read. I should have remembered that the King of Dreams is a huge emo kid when it comes to break-ups..

Well, that helped. Not!

Not to mention that it took 30mins for me to feel my arse again.

Oh well.
