We arrived at the Doha International Airport at 11:20 (Doha time) in the morning of August 31, 2006. The temperature was particularly hot, at around 40 degrees centigrade.
We are yet to report to the Ernst & Young Office on Monday, September 4, 2006. There are two things certain, though:
More pictures.. Continue reading The First Day in Doha
Whew!
It has been a very busy week! Almost everything is already set. Ready to go, indeed!
Other than the shopping spree last Sundaythat I have been to, I’ve nothing more to say. I spent around twenty thousand pesos for shopping! Can you believe that?
Well, to my avid readers, I guess we’ll just read from each other when I’ll be in Doha, Qatar.
From wikipedia:
Doha (Arabic: ??????;, Ad-Daw?ah or Ad-D??ah), population 400,051 (2005 census), is the capital of Qatar, and is at 25.3° N 51.5333° E, on the Persian Gulf. The city is home to Doha International Airport and the major oil and fishing industries. Doha is also home to Education City, an area devoted to research and education.
Here’s a song entitled “I Started a Blog Nobody Read” by the band Sprites under their album Modern Gameplay. It can actually qualify to be the bloggers’ theme song, especially for those are yet starting out.
You can play the song from this page: I Started a Blog Nobody Read.
Lyrics of the song follow:
I started a blog which nobody read,
When I went to work
I blogged there instead.I started a blog which nobody viewed,
It might be in cache;
The topics include:“George Bush is an evil moron”;
“What’s the story with revolving doors?”;
“I’m in love with a girl who doesn’t know I exist”;
“Nobody hates preppies anymore”.I started a blog but nobody came,
No issues were raised;
No comments were made;I started a blog which nobody read;
I’ll admit that it wasn’t that great;
But if you must know here’s what it said:“100 of my favorite albums”;
“200 people I can’t take”;
“400 movies I would want to recommend”;
“10 celebrities (4 of whom I might assasinate)”;I started a blog,
I sent you the link;
I wanted the world (and you) to know what I thinkI started a blog,
but when I read yours;
It made me forget
what I had started mine for.
So many places…
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half

Just another get together dinner by the team, in Aling Tonya’s Seafood Palutuan, Seaside Mart, Baclaran. I don’t really want to elaborate anymore. For sure, this will stay forever in our memory. That once…..blah blah blah…

The old business is back.
All kinds of loads (Smart Eload, Globe Autoload, and Sun Xpressload) as well as prepaid cards are available here. But wait, you have to pay first before I’ll send out any load. No credit line, I’m sorry. All major and minor credit cards cannot be accepted.
That’s business, you know. You need to have a working capital or revolving fund to hold out your business against the harsh economy.
Wala lang.

Last Friday, I received an email inviting all Deloitte professionals to join a photo contest:
Deloitte is looking for photos that capture the essence of the brand taking the journey on various modes of transportation. This is in connection with the Annual Review that will focus on Becoming the Standard of Excellence and the journey that we are taking together. This will tell the story about the journey through client stories, internal stories, and third-party commentary.
The photos should be journalistic style. Subjects should not look into the camera. It is not necessary to show the face of the subject. Photos of just the journey without people may be acceptable. Think, the open road’s desert with footprints.
The prize…a video iPod and a trip to New York.
