A day of selling at Dubai flea market.

I've been hearing about "flea market" in Dubai for so long now but I haven't really been there and for the first time I thought of checking it out but not to buy anything....  I wanted to sell some of my old stuff's and give my cupboard a little bit of air.  

To start it up, flea market is a second hand market where you can sell and buy everything used from household items, home appliances, furniture, textile, ceramics, toys, books, antiques, accessories and hand made items.

People are busy in this part of Dubai every first Saturday of the month at Al Safa Park.  We have to assemble everything at 6AM and the gate will be open for the buyers at 8AM. 

I have to wake up at 5AM and reached the area fifteen minutes after 6.  I was shocked to see hundreds of people on the queue and carrying all heavy boxes and trunks of loads to sell.  I was just having 3 big big plastic bags.  I should check all my stuff's all over again to sell more and earn even more.

this is my table for 250aed plus 2 chairs

The market is open from 8AM to 3PM and my stuff's are finished for almost 2 hours only.  I was not expecting for that but thanks to you all for buying.  I had fun and will have more fun next time again. 


I earned cash....yehey!!

It was quite tiring but I really enjoyed selling.  It was a good experience though for a first timer.

See you so soon again flea market peeps.

Love,

Peek-a-boo....pink or blue. A blessing from Heaven.

This is the most exhilarating post I’ve written so far, as today’s content is all about the baby in my tummy who is expected to arrive on April 2018.   Riggi and I are truly humbled by God’s continuous blessing. And just like that, we are pregnant!!   I had my first-born child 11 years ago; it’s been a while but mother’s instinct made me realize I am pregnant.   Early July I was feeling dizzy and sore.   I blamed it again on my hypotension but as the days passed by I knew it was something else.   I tried my best not to feel excited until I have the confirmation in front of me.   I did the home pregnancy test and it was positive.   I hid the result from Riggi as I had planned to reveal it to him as a surprise on his birthday by August.   Well, it did not turn out that way.   I just had to inform him because I need an ObGyn as soon as possible and I need Riggi’s help. We were having our normal dinner one Monday evening in July and I popped-up the good news to Riggi.   H

I am Home - My Beach Summer Wedding

Image
Not all weddings are the same but each has their own unique spin.   We know full well just how much love, hard work and caffeine-fuelled late nights go into a running-kind-of-planning a wedding just to make it as special as it is.   When it comes to our wedding, we had chosen to return to our hometown in Cebu.   Cebu is blessed with white sand beaches perfect for a beach summer wedding. “The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” – Carl Jung Cliché as it sound but it is how I felt with my husband.    We often look for someone to complete us but in my experience, I found “my someone” when I stopped looking for one.    I had decided to turn my attention to myself – to get to know me better, to heal the past wounds and to develop a better me.    It was when that someone came along.   It has been over three months since we got married.    My husband and I are still over the clouds.   I know; I know….It’s a bit late.    I started compiling this blog a few d

I said "YES" in Osaka, Japan.

As they said you'll get "lost in translation in Japan," I was lost for a moment.  I was lost for words and never even imagined that Osaka, Japan will be a memorable trip for me. In the morning of Friday the 13th May 2016, I was getting ready for a stroll to a high rise Umeda Sky Building.  I never would have imagined that my life would change in just one magical question. I noticed Riggi keeps on changing his mind whether to go on top of Umeda Sky Building or to go to the HEP five ferris wheel as we were both so scared of the height.  Little did I know he was weighing on where to make his plans come true.  He then decided for Umeda Sky Building as he saw a poster mentioning about the lovely wedding which was held on top.  It was his sign, I guess.  Sure, getting on one knee while holding a ring box sort of says it all.  BUT this is not always the case. Why Friday the 13th?  Funny as it seems but my boyfriend being his usual postive self said that it is just a nu
