The Firm held its annual party in Al Sahra Dessert in Dubailand (they started calling it that way instead of plain Dubai) the other night.  I came in with so little preparations, a summery top, a vintage necklace and eyebags on the side… and yeo, ready to go!   Jumana Show:  The Secret of the Dessert was the highlight of the annual party.  It aired for 65 minutes.  More photos here and video here.

The dinner was set in an arabic ambience and food was more of a combination of a little oriental and persian.

I enjoyed exploring the sweets that I met the first time in my life, except for the fruit salad (which I explored too, since it got a twist of strong wine in it, tasted great!).

The dance floor was throroughly occupied and while the DJ mixed 80% of indian songs that night with reggae on the side, other nationalities have blended so well.  It is quite interesting to discover other moves in the dance floor, with a Mc Donald’s step, hulabaloo and such that Filipinos are mostly influenced by western moves.

We were back home at 3am.  While the highlight of the party is the Jumana show, for me it was each minute spent with all the Filipinos as those from Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Dubai offices gathered.  It felt so much like home.
