Stephen King

I missed reading pocket books.  During my high school and college years when internet was not yet introduced, hehehe, I usually spend my idle and break time going to the library and read lots of pocket books that are available on the book shelves. Stephen King novels are one of my favorite books I read during that time.  Novels of Stephen King are also made into movies such as my favorite "Misery", "Carrie", "The Dark Half", "Pet Sematary", "Salem's Lot", "Christine", and many more.  Until now, Stephen King never disappoints me.  I enjoyed his contemporary horror and suspense stories. When I went to Jarir Bookstore two days ago,  I tried to check if there are still available pocket books of Stephen King.  I was surprised that the book of "Dolores Claiborne" and "From A Buick 8", are there on the shelves.  And it is available on a discount price that's why I bought it immediately without a second thought. For a change, I will concentrate reading these two books during my spare time.  Now I had a chance to relax my mind without thinking my stressful work at the office.

Silence and Loneliness Becomes One

Night time falls.  Silence and loneliness becomes one again.

19 Years

Today, October 8, 2016, I'm celebrating my 19 years with my present company. I am thanking God for his guidance on reaching this milestone in my career.  Inspite of all the challenges and hardships that I've encountered in my work, I was able to hurdle all of this but without the emotional and physical pain.  I assumed that this year is more challenging, and pressure mounts so high because of the sudden organizational changes of our company.  I had tried my best to be more dedicated to my work and I'm keeping my fingers cross that I can survive and cope with the demands of my work.

Happy Saudi National Day at Lulu Hypermarket

Yesterday was the celebration of National Day of Saudi Arabia (September 23).  Lulu Hypermarket at Al-Khobar celebrated the occasion with the display of some artifacts and national costumes of the Kingdom.  I would like to thank Saudi Arabia for the continuing support to the expatriate community particularly for the Filipino OFWs.  I believe Saudi Arabia is one of the safest country in the world.  Thank you Saudi Arabia for giving us the opportunity to work and live in your peaceful country.  Using my iPhone 6s Plus camera here are some of the photos I took at the display of the 1st Floor, Lulu Hypermarket.

Shawarma

Last Friday night, I got a chance to go out and went to my favorite Shawarma restaurant in Al-Khobar.  Shawarma is a favorite fast food sandwich meat preparation of expats especially Filipinos here in Saudi Arabia. It is  eaten and made up into a sandwich wrap with pita or Arabic bread together with vegetables, tomato, onions and French fries.

Black Forest Cake

It's been a long time I was not able to eat one of my favorite cake.  As I was having my grocery at Lulu Hypermarket this afternoon, I went to the bread and cake section of the hypermarket and check if there is available Black Forest cake in the area.  I' am glad that there are still three pieces of the cake and I immediately took one of them.  After my dinner, I enjoyed eating this delicious and yummy cake. Once in a while, treat ourselves the food and delicacies we love to eat.
