Happy New YEAR everyone!!!!! ...hoping for the best for the coming year...cheers to all...

If 2007 didn't bring you joy
just leave it behind
Let's ring in the new year
with good things in mind

Let every bad memory
that brought heartache and pain
And let's turn a new leaf
with the smell of new rain

Let's forget past mistakes
making amends for this year
Sending you these greetings
to bring you hope and cheer

Happy New Year!

Wow!!! How about that. Yes that was my husband. What a small world. I am a teacher in Florida. I am a workaholic but I decided not to work when I come to Doha. I need a break. I want to go for coffee/tea and work out.

He is going to be in trouble becasue he went to BK. He is suppose to be eating healthy. My kids speak spanish but my daughter does not like to speak too much spanish. My son loves languages like my husband. He went to the Intercontinental tonight with all the other guys that he works with. I talked to him at 6pm via skype. He finally found a condo in West Bay to live but they do not allow dogs so he will have to move when we get there. Happy New Year. It is only a couple of minutes away....

Southflorida! You know, Doha is a really small place! THink I met your husband! I was in Burger kind and he wanted some directions, and my husband told him how to get to the stadium. He told me his wife was a teacher and was planing, maybe, to teach in Qatar. He told me he was an engineering working in Lusail. And He also told me that his teenager daughter does not speak spanish (very bad!)

THat was around a month ago, and he had just landed in DOha. How is he getting on?

Eating the grapes and making a wish for each grape is a spanish tradition. Plus I forgot to tell you, you need to wear yellow underwear and have your luggage packed and walk around your block. Then in 2008 you will have good luck and travel alot...

unfortunately when things are advertised here, the advergtiser assumes that you know what they intend to or what do they have in their mind.

I think the normal Dance parade ticket is just for entry, the VIP will provide you a table, chair and some food. For sure booz is not included. Even it seems buffet dinner is not included

Have a wonderful new year eve and happy new year to all of QLers
