Without having to go to the malls, I know that the games shops all over UAE have gone crazy again. With thousands of gamers waiting for their turn to buy Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty, I doubt if the shops can cater to all the fans waiting patiently outside their respective shops. I was surprised that the part 2 have more number of fans all around the world. I can see that these people are particularly after the campaign and the story. Well, the multiplayer gameplay comes after of course.

After a few months of staying away from blogging, I must say I missed it a lot! Now everything is new to me again. I can’t even believe that I am still using 2.9.2 version of wordpress. It’s a good thing though, because it personally slaps my face on how long I was gone.

A lot of things happened in those days. I was even able to join an IT firm and from there I realized my experience in IT world is nothing compared to the experience I got from there. But, everything has its price. I decided to leave the firm when I started to realize that the working schedule is not worth it. Anyway, after a long pressing decision making I finally decided to take the job my sister helped me to get in.

At least it gives me more time to blog. Now, it’s about time to rediscover blogging once more. LOL

November 17, 2009. That’s few weeks after I arrived here in Dubai, UAE. And for some hundreds of personal reasons, I thought I have lost the passion to write. There were also several problems that took a bit of time to settle. So I apologize for not really attending to my blog these past few months. When you are in some place and you have to re-adjust yourself it’s not too easy to jump back on the old habits not to mention the loss of interest because of the challenges that keeps coming time to time. So much for venting out. Let me tell you about my recent sentiments about Dubai.

Dubai have drastically changed from the last time I was here. A lot of things including unemployment rate, the world crisis that almost buried Dubai to the grounds, the massive downfall of the real estate business which was also one of Dubai’s main source of economy, and the worst part; the constant changing of rules.

Since day one of Modern Warfare 2 release, the gaming market is still sizzling hot with fans who wanted to grab a copy of this awesome first person shooting game who actually sold 4.7 Million Copies in its first day of release. This is probably the most number of sold copies in a day. As well all know, the game is the sequel to the original Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare story.

I only find one bad part about Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare 2…is that until now I still don’t have a copy of it. And worst of all, my friend David won’t stop tormenting me about his prestige copy of Modern Warfare 2.

While I’m still in my not-so-blogging-mood, for some reason I keep on watching war movies. Female soldiers usually catches my attention and it’s so amazing when you see them in action. GI Jane is sometimes what they call them. Imagine ladies who can disassemble and assemble a high calibre rifle in a matter of seconds, fearlessly plant high explosive bombs, work in a command centre or even join the ranks of dangerous missions. These ladies makes me feel less about myself more. Being snappy and all while I’m a whimp who can even jog half a mile. Or ask my wife, I can’t even walk a quarter mile. LOL.

Today’s story is about crowned Ms. England who also turned out to be a frontline in Afghanistan war. A 22-year old british soldier and a beauty pageant, Lance Corporal Katrina Hodge. Pretty amazing huh? Why not check out after the huge jump and let’s get explosive!
