The Hiker’s Maxim: “Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints, kill nothing but time (J.K.).” These days, summer is extra tough for people who love the outdoors. When the sun sets late and temperatures spike, it can be tempting to just chill inside with Netflix in front rather than bundle up for an outdoor…

A Transitory Taste of The Philippines at Strawberry Farm in Al Kharj
One of the things I’m most particular about is preparing my own food. To say that I find joy in doing it is an understatement. Most of the time, I (only) crave foods if prepared by me because there’s certainty that they’re prepared well. Let me put it this way: Sometimes, I refuse to eat…
The Doors, Windows, Lamps, and Mud-Built Structures Of Ushaiger Heritage Village
Facts of the past were my academic energizers back in the day. Memorizing names, dates, events, and anything akin to history interest me—still. When I was invited by a good friend to join his squad’s trip to Ushaiger Heritage Village, the wandering feet’s engine automatically zoomed off to say, “Yes!” A grant-in-aid for The Stories…
Beyond the Claddings of King Fahad National Library
It was a random winter day in 2012 when my optical organs got magnetized by those claddings that surround the King Fahad National Library while cruising over King Fahad Road in Olaya District.

Hail: Saudi Arabia’s Tourism Attention Seeker
Recently, I visited Hail for work-related reasons. It was an accidental trip I may say as my position does not entail going on business trips. It took me a 45-minute plane ride from Riyadh and another hour and a half drive from the airport to get to the plant in the wee hours of the…

Glimpses And Magic of Riyadh When Darkness Falls
I was driving home on a random evening when the warm, orange glow of sunset and streetlamps knocked on the window frames. Settling in the heart of Al Izdihar District a few years ago, I had grown used to seeing these city and night “scapes” but never did I capture them intentionally until earlier that…
King Abdullah Financial District and its Conference Centre by Night and Day
It is a given that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia do not erect buildings on a mediocre level, especially at the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD). So whenever I passed by the area, I am wired to crane my neck or look up and just marvel at the ephemeral architectural wonders presented by this rising…

Moments of Happiness Out of the Blue
I was driving around Exit 5 for some personal errands after work earlier when I noticed the tempting view of the yellowish, orangy sky plus the intriguing cloud figure of a phoenix rising not too far from where I was positioned.
