three days to go and it’s 2008

Don’t you feel that year 2007 passed by with a speed of a strong hurricane? Well, at least, that is how I feel about it. It seems like we just landed here in Dubai and now, in less than 2 weeks we’ll be one year here.

I learned so many things and I know I still have tons left to learn everyday. I look forward to another year, another summer (ick!) here in Dubai. At least though, next summer, we will be out of the country for a full month so that’s 30 days less of extreme heat. Travelling to Japan and to the Philippines for my brother’s wedding is what I most look forward to next year.

Also, I have to add that when I started blogging when we relocated here, I did not expect people to find me, read on beyond my first post and comment! At first, it felt like I was talking to myself but right now, I have at least 3,000 visitors per month since September (that is so few for established bloggers but my blog is less than  a year old so I think that’s overwhelming — but you know me, I sometimes exaggerate my feelings!) and more than 5,000 comments to boot! Who knew!

So….Everyone will be busy with the New Year festivities, I’m making this post short and wish you a happy weekend. To my friends in Japan, I envy your long vacation. I am only home on January 1st and the rest of the days, I am working while you enjoy lazying from today until the 6th of January!  You know my next line: Life is sometimes unfair.

Have a safe and joyous New Year everyone!

  6. Happy New Year, Grace! I hope it brings you many good things. My year flew by, too. I can’t believe that come February, I will have been blogging for a year as well! I’m sure that your first year in a strange and foreign land made it go by all the quicker, with every experience new and different.
