Living in Dubai is effing hard.

I just have to blog my rage! Dammit! Remember when I just moved to a new place? Now i have to effing move again! Our place just got an eviction notice, apparently, its illegal to be sharing accommodations with strangers here, and someone found out, i don’t know. Now we have to move! Everyone in the flat must go! It’s so hard to find a good place here, because the dubai government’s demolishing all the low cost villas! The low cost villas are eye sores compared to the effing sky scrapers nobody can afford!! Damn! And its so  damn  hot here! Its a boiling 46 degrees and the humidity in the air is 80%! So stepping out means sweating like a faucet! Damn! I have to damn move again! Its so hard to move! To pack all your stuff, your clothes, your food!  To look at the people and smile and apologize and arrange your schedule! And cook and clean after everything! Later ill have to look at other bedspaces. Shit. This sucks. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
On another not so loathing note, still angsty though. I am going to try to apply for a driver’s license here... and i don’t freaking know where the Philippine consulate is! Apparently its located in some, remote labor camp. Damn. So much for your tax money. I tried to get their number, but all i effing get is a stupid idiot tone! Shiteous! I need to go there because i need to get my Philippine driver’s license authenticated. If its attested there, ill only need to take 20 driving classes here, as oppose to taking 40 lessons before taking exams. Yup it’s required to take lessons here before taking the exam. How am i gonna go there then! I cant even contact them. I’ll apply this Thursday, for the driving classes.
Tonight, house hunting again.  Soon dubai’s gonna be a wondrous juxtaposition of unfathomable architecture, but what about the cost of living? How are the people gonna live if everything cheap are paved away!... args! Living here is HARD and EXPENSIVE!
STILL ILL SAY...”Forget regret, or life is yours to miss”
I hope i pass the driving exam on the first take. Please please.
I also hope, that i can find a place near my aunts...and... internet!
XOXO
