    Travel Blog: El Nido, Palawan, Philippines

    Hello! This is my very first blog guesting and I’d say a special thanks to Mohamad for inviting me to post on his site. It’s truly an honor and an achievement for a newbie like me! 🙂 For those of you who are fond of travelling to other countries, I suggest that you visit the…

    Qatar – Doha

    This is my guest post on Linda’s blog – comments are there too: Posting about the place I live in is not the same as posting about a place that I visited once or twice. One might have a lot to talk about and a lot of pictures or events to share. One post isn’t…

  • Musings on Muscat, Oman

    Musings on Muscat, Oman
