I have a deep distrust for scented candles. They usually smell good when you press your nose to their waxy sides but smell nothing once you light them. But this ice cream scented candle I bought from Ikea makes my room smell heavenly, especially when it's lighted.

After Chop Chop my next favorite restaurant is Wagamama. They serve Japanese fusion food. That big bowl of noodle soup is as delicious as it looks.

When I can, I attend services at the Victory Christian Fellowship in Oud Metha, Dubai. Coming late is not a good idea because the place fills up really fast. I do come early but if I'm late, I know an alternative entrance where I can get a seat anytime.

It's the rocking chair again. I wonder why the owner is selling it. I like my sister's rocking chair - it's very comfortable and the rocking doesn't make me dizzy.

A vegetarian frozen food treasure trove. If the Tofurky wasn't so expensive (Dhs 79.75) I'd buy one for Thanksgiving. But wait - I don't celebrate Thanksgiving. But I'd still want to know how it tastes like.

One of my favorite places in Dubai: Choithram Supermarket at the Greens. The Greens community lives up to it's name - the surroundings are dense with foliage. When I go there I don't feel like I live in the desert.

Taxi fares in Dubai are horrendous (at least for us lower income folks) so I take a cab only if it's not accessible by bus. Most drivers are Pakistani or Indian nationals. For some reason, I have yet to encounter a Filipino taxi driver.
