Dim Christmas


It's almost Christmas eve and here I am sitting on my bed writing this blog post. I was about to experience one of the best holiday with a very special person yet for some insignificant reason, all the bliss just completely vanished.

Why?

Maybe I was really trying so hard competing with time. Maybe I always make myself available every time I am needed. Maybe I am wrong expressing my affection through words. Maybe I should stop being silent whenever I am disappointed and pretend everything is okay and that I am all okay. I think I should change MUST CHANGE because being like this hurts so bad that you will be accused as a demanding and negatively cold as a stone, easy-going fake culprit.

I couldn't explain what or how I feel at this very moment. I wanna cry but tears doesn't want to come out. I feel like any moment am gonna burst and the whole world will explode. This is so fucking soul-hurt, like a knife stabbed straight to your heart kind of hurt.

Camping at Fujairah


It's holiday and it's winter season, meaning - it's camping time! We planned and decided to go to Fujairah to see some rocky mountains and at the same time, to swim in the beach.

I'm telling you, camping preparation was not that easy. There are people who you would think would come and will end up backing out, there will be fights with regard of who does or buys what and all kinds of inevitable shitty things.. but I think it's all part of the adventure. So yeah, before we even enjoyed our winter camping trip, of course, there were few dramas we surpassed. I think life will be so boring without these. Hehe..

Anyway, so we left Abu Dhabi early morning as travel time is roughly 3 hours. The exciting part? It was raining cats and dogs on our way there! During the trip, I was skeptical to go any further. We even stopped not so nearly halfway as Stewart couldn't see anything on the road with this heavy rain. We warmed ourselves with some coffee and waited for a few minutes and then we went on and stopped, and went on and stopped, so it goes. I was like, what the heck?! I just kept on thinking or should I say praying for the rain to stop.


First stop for coffeeeeeee.


Once upon a wet day...


Our second stop.


Strike a pose. Third stop.

Eventually, after quite some time, we arrived at this camping spot. The place is okay. Good side is that there's a beach, downside is where the f*ck to pee??? This is not the same as in the dessert where aside from the moon and the stars to watch over you doing your thing, you will only expect camels to catch you off-guard! Of course we managed but in a very uneasy and uncomfy way.

We arrived about lunch time and we started putting up our tents and do some grilling. Since the weather is acting up that day, we just ate, entertained ourselves by playing cards while boozing and then slept cuddling eachother inside the tent around 6PM. And oh, one more thing I hate about this place is that it's so crowded. We couldn't feel/hear the nature because of our neighbors' heart-thumping lame music.

Wot?

Our bad moods were changed the next day - the sun is up, shining and smiling at us! We spend the morning barbequing, swimming and sunbathing. So this trip wasn't so bad after all. At least we enjoyed half a day of our almost two-day adventure. We packed and returned back to AUH in the afternoon.


Goofing under the sun.

Going home. 

Honestly, I didn't enjoy this trip that much. Don't get me wrong. I wouldn't mind going back there but I prefer to go some other place. For me, camping over the dessert is still the best.

Stay tuned for my next sandpit adventure! Toodles!
