<title>One Week to Go</title>
<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;Robert and I have been packing and re-packing his stuff and my stuff.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Time does fly fast! It&#x27;s only a week to go before we go back home... be together for two weeks and then I&#x27;m off to Dubai again :(&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;I keep replaying the thoughts in my head... of how we should enjoy the next three weeks, how we would part at the airport (the hardest!).&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Robert said I should not cry because he&#x26;nbsp;knows I&#x27;m stronger than that.&#x26;nbsp;I do hope too.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;I know I am a fighter. I know I am brave.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;more: &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://rachiel.wordpress.com&#x22;&#x3E;Role Play (Take 2)&#x3C;/a&#x3E;&#x3C;/p&#x3E;</description>

<title>Coffee Break </title>
<description>Location: Reef Mall, Deira, Dubai

Robert and I thought it would be easy to get tickets for the movie &#x27;Caregiver&#x27; and were we surprised to see a long and I mean a llooooonnnnggg queue! 

Some Pinoys were trying to sell their tickets, others would try to &#x27;make singit&#x27; thinking no one would notice and others would argue endlessly with the cashier!

When we reached the cashier, she then informed us of the good news- there are still tickets BUT it will be for the next day&#x27;s screening. 

Since we were there already, we decided to just buy the ticket and explore Al Ghurair Centre (sorry no photos) and Reef Mall before heading home. 

The next day, we watched Caregiver (see my post: &#x3C;a href=&#x22;http://rachiel.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/caregiver-the-movie/&#x22;&#x3E;http://rachiel.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/caregiver-the-movie/&#x3C;/a&#x3E;</description>

<description>&#x3C;p&#x3E;Life has been a rollercoaster.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Sometimes I wonder why I chose this path... not that I don&#x27;t like the perks that came with it however whenever I see someone who is happy and contented with what they have - I question myself - where did I go wrong?&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;I have always wanted my life to be simple. Earn some money, get married, have kids and enjoy life with my family and extended family, be satisfied.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;I don&#x27;t know if that&#x27;s a dream. I mean people get to do it isn&#x27;t it?&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;I&#x27;m just wondering if I have&#x26;nbsp;given a lot of me to other people that I&#x26;nbsp;don&#x27;t have anything left for my dream.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;I mean, people around me get to&#x26;nbsp;do their own thing, their own stuff because they know they can rely on me?&#x26;nbsp;Why? isn&#x27;t it a give and take relationship?&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;Or am&#x26;nbsp;I just being selfish that I do not see their struggles?&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;It&#x27;s so weird... but sometimes, I just want to burst with anger and other times with guilt...&#x26;nbsp;that is the reason why I don&#x27;t call home a lot.&#x3C;/p&#x3E; &#x3C;p&#x3E;I try to live &#x27;my dream world&#x27; here in&#x26;nbs...</description>

<title>Devil Wears Prada</title>
<description>Finally after a month of reading, flipping back to remember the story, I have finally finished Devil Wears Prada!!

I know&#x2026;. There was already a movie about it however it still interests me what were the scenes deleted from the movie. In truth, a whole lot of the scenes were deleted! 

Movie vs. Book 

I am not going to elaborate much on this because the movie has long been shown but I just cannot help but see the difference between what transpired in the movie and what was actually written in the book. 

The movie concentrated on the office set-up created by Miranda as well as the &#x2018;new&#x2019; senior assistant, Emily. 

Another thing I noticed was that in the book the function held in the movie where both assistants were present was never there. Instead, there was a function at the Whitney Museum where Andy and only Andy was the one who attended it. 

 In real life 

After reading the book, it took me back to the very first job that I had. If Andy thought of using Runway as a s...</description>

I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;d be able to take care of any peral jewelry because as per our friend who works in a jewelry store, there&#x27;s a lot of do&#x27;s and dont&#x27;s if I want to have pearls so I don&#x27;t really bother (at all) except for the fancy pearls. &#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;&#x3C;STRONG&#x3E;3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?&#x3C;/STRONG&#x3E;&#x3C;BR&#x3E;&#x22;Fred Claus&#x22; Geesh... but I really like Vince Vaughn&#x27;s dance number (hihihihi)&#x3C;/P&#x3E; &#x3C;P&#x3E;&#x3C;STRONG&#x3E;4.

<title>Taal Volcano Invasion</title>
<description>This was one cool trip... you get to ride the banca (because we were island hopping) then after that you have to trek the mountains... or you actually have a choice which is to ride a horse... but then it&#x27;s no fun at all...

So, we opted for the former... and this was a great experience kasi my mom walked (yes!) from the foot of the mountain till we reach the top (and went down by foot as</description>
