BELLION TRAVELS MONTHLY RECAP: DECEMBER 2020

OMG! Today is the last day of 2020. It was such a weird year and I hated it. Besides the Virus, Explosion in Beirut, Kobe Bryant Death, Fire in Australia, Taal Volcano and many many many other tragedies… I hate it because I didn’t get to see our families. Tim couldn’t visit his family in the UK and what is even worse, I couldn’t visit my family in Dubai and we are in the same country. 

Anyway I am a strong believer that everything happens for good reason. So, I will state the big things that happened in the month of December under highlights and I will write a separate post about 2020. 

Destinations I’ve visited:

  • Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, United Arab Emirates

Highlights of the month:

  • Tim and I decided we should move back to Dubai.
  • BBQ with Mimi and Priyanka in Al Ain.
  • I got accepted at Heriot Watt Dubai. I enrolled for a Master Degree in Commercial Management and Quantity Surveying.
  • I will start studying Hebrew as a 5th Language on January 2021. 
  • I turned 32 on Dec. 10
  • Celebrated my birthday at Emirates Palace (7 stars hotel)
  • Spend a night at Ritz Carlton, Abu Dhabi

BELLION TRAVELS MONTHLY RECAP: NOVEMBER 2020

Here I am blogging about November 2020 Recap on 30 Dec. 2020. I can’t believe we are approaching end of 2020. 

Today morning, my husband and I were discussing how we learned a lot from 2020 but also he said it was a useless year. We had a lot in mind, we were suppose to visit England to celebrate my sister-in-laws birthday, we were suppose to travel to Colombia and this year was suppose to be the year our condo in Philippines will be handed over but none of that happened. We spent 99% of our time in Abu Dhabi. I have a lot that happened but that will be a December 2020 recap because weirdly it all happened in December.

So let me share a quick recap of our November.

Highlight:

  • We were asked by the Government to quarantine for 14 days wearing a tracker because we were exposed to someone with Covid.
  • I was quarantined for 21 days in the month of November because I met someone who had Covid. Thankfully, we had no symptoms and were tested negative.
  • November 2020 was mainly spent at home.

BELLION TRAVELS MONTHLY RECAP: OCTOBER 2020

I can’t believe I did not blog for almost 3 months. Seriously, I don’t know what is wrong with me. It’s not like we are not doing anything. We are actually going out almost every weekend but I think I find this year extremely depressing and I just don’t have the push and I’m not even motivated to write/ type. 

Anyway here is a quick recap of what happened in the month of October. 

Highlights of the month:

  • Night Kayak at Abu Dhabi Louvre
  • Visited the Sheikh Zayed Mosque at night
  • Visited Al Ain Zoo and Jebel Hafeet

BELLION TRAVELS MONTHLY RECAP: May 2020

Honestly, quarantine and the curfew is getting to us. Especially that work increased and on top of that all, Tim and I didn’t take leave for a year. We were suppose to be in England in June and now all our travel plans are on hold.

We’ve been watching a lot of T.V and Netflix and we are getting bored. Summer is here and it’s just so hot to go outside for a walk.

Anyway here is an recap of what we did in the month of May.
