the dubai bubble for me has bursted,
and everything has changed since then.
terminated and has been casted away
to the abu dhabi airport i am to flee.
my life here had been sort of,
just been utterly fantastic.
it was filled with many good things, but few were not.
people and things, filled me with awe and wonder.
i had not wished it be, nor had i forseen it,
that these experiences would happened to me.
everything here was moving too fast.
the blurr was breathtaking indeed!
the novelty of new places can't be denied.
and the glow on common things are exciting.
dubai for me was new and promising.
i was right, and disappointment was far from me.
wether i was jogging in a cold winter morning,
in the streets of karama, or in the parks of jumeirah,
my heart was pumping full red delight.
the blue frigid air seems to agree with me.
people is peculiar in a stange new place.
they seem to be friendlier and kinder to you.
in charismatic groups or colleagues, it does not matter.
love virus is in the air, and everyone is catching it.
food, fruits and drinks here are flowing and aplenty.
exotic and gourmet, everything is of gluttonic delight.
Lobster, pink salmon, prawns and assorted biryani,
what else can you say but, what to do yani?
the sun and the sands of the desert, hot and dry,
whips in me the fictional universe of frank herbert's dune.
arabs are my fremen, ang-moh are the imperial sardaukkar.
paul muad'dib said, from the desert, a voice shall call for my salvation.
the building marvels of the age was in dubai.
architectural concepts that would elicit a laugh or a breath,
that are coming to life on the sands and even at sea.
imagination here is boundless and flying.
then, suddenly, the world had lost something.
the international market crashed, fell in ashes, burnt and spent.
nothing was spared, nothing remained untouched.
the dubai that was, had had came to pass.
boarding the plane, i glanced around me for one last time,
and looked at the country that has accomodated me for three years.
i muttered one last prayer in this foreign land, my God,
please let me return here in the near future. If You are willing.
now i bid to all of you my forlorn adieu.
goodbye to my love and my honeybabe.
goodbye to my goodfriends and aquaintances.
for i shall not see you again........ in dubai. he3!
