Ulog #104 & 7daypositivitychallenge #102: Family, Friends & Board Games
Hello and good evening Steemians!
Here I am again for my another backdated blog... this is my 4th #Ulog (initiated by @surpassinggoogle) story & my 2nd #7daypositivitychallenge (initiated by @conradt).
In continuation of my busy weekend last week... my story for tonight goes like this...
June 8, 2018
After the successful Blood Donation Campaign which you can find in my yesterday's post with other members posts, we, my sister @pingcess, brother-in-law @prinsepong and hubby @donaldd went straight to Khalidiya Mall in Abu Dhabi, at past 12:00 in the morning, which is next to Abu Dhabi Blood Bank where we came from to go straight to Lulu Hypermarket and look for any board games that we can find. Why Board games? simply because we are now fond of playing board games anywhere at anytime and it is now our family bonding. ^_^
When we reached Lulu we successfully found the Monopoly Empire which was on sale from AED 209 it went down to AED 89 only so my sister @pingcess did not think twice and bought the game board. After buying that we went home straight to sleep. Unfortunately, the fambam was so wide awake that everyone decided to open the game board, study it and play it. Imagine how late the time was??? Or let me say how early in the morning the time was??? Oh well, that's how addictive to game boards my family is... so to cut the story short, we played the whole morning until 7:00 am and had the break only at 3:00 am for Suhoor and then back to gaming.
We decided to stop playing when the sun was up and slept for the rest of the morning. It was early in the afternoon when everyone's up and we decided to go malling. I prepared our things to bring back to Dubai since we will be going with @iamdeth and @paluchie too on that same day as agreed on Thursday, hence we put our bags at the compartment of the car so anytime we decided to meet them we don't need to go back home to collect our things. When we went out of the house, we decided to stop by at Brain Up Toys this is one of the awesome-st place I've ever seen! The game boards are everywhere! They have nice tables for gaming and they have very accommodating workers which became our playmates. In this shop you can play any game you want and buy it after if you like it. You can also rent a game and play it there for hour(s) as long as you want.
After trying and playing some games there, we decided to go to Madinat Zayed to buy food for Iftar and we decided to meet @iamdeth & @paluchie in Marina Mall so we can all go back to Dubai together. While we were on the way to the mall, my sisters @pingcess and @akosimalai along with my brother-in-law @prinsepong did not stop in asking us to stay for the day and just go home the next day... well we were convinced and decided to just stop by and bid our goodbyes to our friends and deliver @arrliinn's banana cupcakes to @iamdeth & @paluchie.
By the way, just wanted to let you guys know that... my sister @akosimalai bought her daughter a Gelato game... I told you this game addiction runs in the family!
When we reached Marina Mall, I called @iamdeth to meet them, we gave the cupcakes and we were also introduced to other friends of them... where the question laid out "Open minded ka ba? Tara Steemit tayo!" we changed the question since it is Ramadan, we cannot offer coffee ^_^ instead a direct to the point to Steemit!
After bidding goodbyes to friends it was almost 7(ish) in the evening so we decided to go to this highly recommended restaurant - Al Janoob. And we broke our fast and filled our tummies up! Thanks to @pingcess & @prinsepong for the dinner treat! It was delicious!
After the heavy dinner, we decided to go home straight to rest and sleep earlier since we were up the whole night... but our day did not end there... the plan was never executed instead we ended up playing Monopoly again! Until I said goodnight at 3:30 am, while the fambam are still wide awake!
So the long day started and ended well... I am very thankful for that wonderful day and for the family I have... we all have.
