_____________________________________________

whenever the time reaches 11:00am, i start my countdown

for Lunchbreak and wondering what's inside my lunchbox...

hotdog, tocino, sinangag or maybe yung ulam namin 2 days ago.
inaabangan ko rin yung food ng friends ko para maka-arbor
(hehehe...mix ulam) and of course i always wait for her (crush ko)
to ask me if i want her food (never akong tanggi noh)...lol!!!
that was 30 years ago when i was in grade school.

free rice, free soup- food advertisement ito dun sa canteen na
kinakainan namin...good for us 'coz we need to bring ulam lang
and order all the free food and our lunch is done...
bahay kubo - what we call sa favorite canteen namin, giniling naman ang
favorite na ulam namin dito and after lunch we spent our time
chatting & showing our dance moves..lol!!! that was 25 years ago,
when i was in high school.

every 2:00 pm, we met at Lepanto St.(Loyola na ngayon) sa Recto, Manila,
came from school (tomjones na talaga), we have to line up to choose
our ulam like adobong manok, adobong atay ng manok, pritong manok na balot
as bread crumbs,durog na gulay,at ang walang kamatayang menudo...sarap ng
mga ito...(mura na madumi pa) hehehe...this is the deafault ulam sa
Delicious Retaurant...but if you want to customize your lunch...you can
order food like patatim, lechong paksiw, bachoy at halo-halo for dessert
plus softdrink at ang walang kamatayang rice...(kalahati pa nga) at ang
walang lasang soup (pinaglagaan ng mga buto ng baka)....
anyways, after you order and pay your bill....you have to wait..
opo...wait ulit for vacant table....hayyy...lunchbreak...that was
23 years ago when we (my wife and me) we're in college.

dubai today...my office lunchbreak is between 1:00 to 2:00pm...
i am always excited when the break comes...upon reaching our
pantry's door you can smell filipino food getting hot sa microwave,
you can also hear filipino voice chatting & laughing.our pantry
is almost only 9 sqmts in size but we squeeze inside
this room just to eat lunch together and to hear filipino updated
story around dubai, to hear new tsismis pinoy, kwentong pinoy,
jokes na pinoy, kwentong barbero....it feels like you're in
makati office lang...for me...LUNCHBREAK is a feeling that
brings me home...

Below is my intractive cartoon lunchbreak vr. enjoy!

note: text & images on vr are only my imaginations, i hope
i didn't hurt your feelings in anyways.sorry.

More About Dubai

Overview and HistoryDubai is one of the seven Arab Emirates and has the highest population in the UAE. Unfortunately for western historians, the pre-Islamic culture used an oral tradition for recordkeeping of its stories and legends, so there isn't much to go on from library sources.But the area around Dubai has been occupied for thousands of years, with many trading centers between the east and west. The earliest mention of Dubai recorded in writing dates to 1095, and it was known as a source of rich pearls to merchants of Venice.Dubai was dependent of Abu Dhabi during the 19th century; it became a protectorate of the UK as of 1892, and engaged in border disputes with Abu Dhabi after WWII. As of 1971 Dubai became part of the United Arab Emirates.From here onwards let the theme of this essay be,"Dubai goes BIG!"There's booming construction going on in Dubai right now, as in, almost 25% of its economy is based on building!Dubai has the capital and initiative to set up some really exciting projects, like Dubai Internet City. It's a free trade zone in a technology park created to attract large companies by offering special tax breaks within its economic zone. So far players like Microsoft, HP, Nokia, IBM and Oracle have moved in with their regional offices... not bad. DIC is now a strategic hub connecting two billion people across the Middle East, Africa and India.Spin around in the Heritage Village area and check out all the construction cranes on the horizon.Getting ThereThe Dubai International Airport has one of the best duty-free shopping malls in the world, which is an attraction all by itself.The airport offers a wide range of world-class services. Transportation service will be car rental or taxi, with buses to appease the traffic problem.TransportationDubai has an extensive taxi system made up of both private and government-operated cabs. The city was planned to hold 600,000 people and it population is now 1.5 million -- you figure out what that means in terms of traffic...Currently there's a $4 billion construction project underway to build a Metro system, expected to be complete in 2012.If you want to have some real fun, take an abras to find the world's most amazing spice market here, at Spice Souk Abra Station. Abras are little wooden boats you take to cross the Dubai canal. It costs about 27cent USD for the trip, you get them at Abra station and ride them between the gold/spice market on one side and the textile market on the other.This is a great way to see old Dubai too, by traveling the Dubai creek. Also, don't forget that the National Bank building reflects the surface of the water and looks like a giant TV.People and CultureChoosing the right season to visit Dubai is of critical importance. Temperatures range from 10C in winter to 48C in the summer. Tourist season starts in October and gets cranking in November.The local currency is the dirham. Carry small change with you for taxi drivers and things, otherwise you will end up giving a bigger tip than you meant to.They drive on the right in Dubai and there is a car accident, on average, every three minutes. Be advised and keep your eyes peeled.Dubai has a zero tolerance drug policy. ZERO. Don't mess around.Things to do, RecommendationsDubai is as ancient as it is modern. See the Chamber of Commerce and Bastakiya for just two of the myriad examples. Bastakiya is a completely-restored neighborhood from an old merchants' settlement. A really popular historic destination to visit is one of the of three watchtowers guarding the city of Burj-Nahar in Deira.Dubai is the upscale shopping capital of the world, but its charming old markets (souks) are where it all comes from. If you're not from around here, get ready to learn about bargaining...Here's the old market called Souk Bur Dubai, take a look at your shopping schedule and dive in!Al-Sabkha is one of the smaller communities in Dubai but it's got tons of markets to poke through.Clubbing: Dubai has strict liquor laws (and pork laws) so most of the nightclubs are located inside hotels, where they already have some sort of liquor license. Check out Zinc, Planetarium, Kandy Club, and Peppermint to get your dose of bass.Well, you can't exactly climb up this one, but here's the clock tower.Just wait until the Burj Dubai is finished, then you'll REALLY have something to get a view from! The Burj Dubai will be the world's tallest structure when it's done. Office space is set for about $4,000 per square foot, ready to go in September 2009. Cheap! It's part of a development that when finished will host thirty thousand homes, nine hotels, seven acres of parkland, and the Dubai Mall -- slated to be the largest mall in the world.Dubai is going big! Get there and have a look for yourself.Text by Steve Smith.
