I guess it’s just time to showcase some of the photos I’ve taken in my photography career…LOL…
Now, who could have thought that Venice exists in the heart of a desert like Doha, Qatar?
This is Villagio, a mall located near Hyatt Plaza and the Khalifa Sports City. The interior design is undoubtedly that of Venice as you can see in the movie Casanova, except of course for the modern business stores surrounding the small river.

In this post, and maybe some more in the future (that’s why the 101, because there might still be 102, 103, and so on), I would like to point out some singularities of living in Qatar.

Just as I am overwhelmed by our ADSL wireless connection, I would like to spread some links that you may find useful. An old news of former FIDE president, a Filipino for that matter, Florencio Campomanes, had a car accident. Here’s the—
At long last, we now have our wireless internet connection. After 6 months and 7 days stay here in Qatar, we have our wireless internet from Qtel up and running. That is, after waiting for 1 month till we found a place to live in, another month for our residence permit to be issued (residence permit is the primary requirement to transact with Qtel),…
I’m amused by the memory of my younger brother actually literally taking what our parents were trying to teach us back when we were younger. “Mangita kwarta“, which literally translates to “to search for money”, actually means “to make a living”. He really thought that one makes a living by literally searching and finding money out in the streets, or maybe from your neighbors’ house (LOL), I don’t know….
