Time for footie


A song/poem dedicated to all my friends at football in Dubai...
We wanna play some footie every night in Dubai
All the leagues and tournaments they are quite fly
Come out everybody just give it a try
Time for footie, time for footie!

RAP
We love us some good footie
Yalla, let’s get busy
This may not be no champions league
But still we’re always well fatigued
We’re often put to the test
But we always try our best
We’ve created a community
Such a wonderful opportunity

DWFA on Tuesday nights
The games are played under the lights
Some girls they got some moves
They all got something to prove
Let us not forget Mix it up
Saturdays, mixed teams battle for the cup
The guys are finally invited to play
They all got mad skills to display

We wanna play some footie every night in Dubai
All the leagues and tournaments they are quite fly
Come out everybody just give it a try
Time for footie, time for footie!

We wanna play some footie every night in Dubai
All the leagues and tournaments they are quite fly
Come out everybody just give it a try
Time for footie, time for footie!
  
RAP
And what about that new team
Dubai All Stars are very keen
They thought they’d get their butts kicked
But such good results no one could predict
They sometimes play in Jabel Ali
Or bus it all the way to Abu Dhabi
Top 3 is definitely where they want to be
Amongst some of the best in the UAE

We wanna play some footie every night in Dubai
All the leagues and tournaments they are quite fly
Come out everybody just give it a try
Time for footie, time for footie!

We wanna play some footie every night in Dubai
All the leagues and tournaments they are quite fly
Come out everybody just give it a try
Time for footie, time for footie!

Mirror, Mirror

  “I could try to be just like you, but I wanna be like me - the girl in the mirror.” Have you ever looked at a picture of yourself and thought “YIKES!”? Of course you have! We all have! We can all get a little self-critical from time to time, can’t we? I’ll be honest, I don’t often love seeing pictures of myself, especially those really close up, like selfies. Every image seems to amplify my insecurities and highlight “ flaws ” that I wish would disappear. I’m a pretty simple girl—no make-up, no heels, just me as I am, and I find that the world often holds up a different standard of beauty for females, one that's heavily curated and polished. My negative thoughts can weigh heavily at times, and social media ( with all its’ filters ) only magnifies those feelings of self-doubt. Over the last year, I’ve taken a number of selfies or mirror pictures. Some were taken to capture moments during my solo trips, some were taken to track physical changes influenced by diet, training and r...

Fly Away

  “Until you spread your wings, you’ll never know how far you can fly.” For as long as I can remember, there has been a relentless pull within me; a desire to fly away, to explore beyond the boundaries of familiarity, and to immerse myself in the cultural richness of our world. It all started over 15 years ago with a pivotal moment: my first international trip to the Dominican Republic for humanitarian purposes. Little did I know then that this remarkable trip ( *along with teaching in a challenging multicultural school ) would set the stage for a life defined by adventure, discovery, and personal growth. Since that transformative experience, my life has been a whirlwind of movement and exploration. I've been blessed with the opportunity to experience living and working abroad, both in the UAE and in Vietnam, and along the way, I've had the privilege to traverse more than 40 countries, each offering its own unique blend of culture, history, landscape and perspective. Looking ...

The runner in me

“Mind over miles.” A few years back, I was all in. I was that person signing up for every race that came across my radar—10K’s, half-marathons, marathons—you name it. The thrill of crossing the finish line, the camaraderie at the starting line, the way the crowds cheered you on, it was all so energizing. I didn’t even need music to get through a run, even a whole 42km marathon, which, I know, sounds crazy to most people. But there I was, in my zone, taking it all in and doing something I enjoyed. I collected lots of medals and racked up plenty of podium finishes, but most importantly I had some memorable international races, and met tons of amazing people along the way. I discovered that running was a really accessible sport; all you needed was a pair of shoes and the will to go. I could literally show up to a race, put one foot in front of the other, and—boom—be part of a community of people all working toward the same goal. So, what happened? Why did I stop running? For me, it came d...
