Hello po. Looking for best studios in Dubai na near sa Metro (Red Line) sana. Which area po ang massuggest niyo?

I work in Downtown area po. No car yet so any suggestions will be a big help!

If may room for rent with big balcony din po na near metro basta hindi super strict and pure kabayan po ang kasama, ok din.

Ayaw ko po sana sa Deira/Burjuman area dahil malayo sa work.

Hello. I would just like to know if there is a limit on how many times I can renew my tourist visa? I've already exited twice and kinakabahan lang baka may limit pala ang pag renew/exit. Thank you

Hey 👋

I used to go hiking with this group on Saturdays but I don't think I can anymore because my weekly off is shifted to Sunday now. Is there anyone or any group that goes to the mountains that I can be a part of from Dubai?

O medyo trigger happy sa pagprescribe ng gamot yung mga doctor dito? Nag online consult ako sa NowServing app and niresetahan ako ng 3 gamot and lahat generic. Pero hindi ko pwede gamitin yung rx dito so nagpaconsult ako sa hospital at my expense. Ang dami binigay saking gamot. 😅

Hello mga kabayan,

Trying my luck here baka may makatulong or makapagbigay ng leads.

I’ve been working in finance and accounting for more than 12 years already, including 6+ years dito sa UAE. Mostly UAE experience ko is under marketing/advertising companies, but I also handled industries like education, distribution, amusement, and shipping. CPA din since 2012.

To be honest, medyo draining na rin yung past few months. Since late last year, active ako sa pag-aapply through LinkedIn, Indeed, Naukri Gulf, and direct company applications, pero hanggang ngayon wala pa rin akong narereceive na interview calls. Hindi ko alam if sobrang competitive lang talaga ng market ngayon or may need pa akong iimprove.

I’m currently open for:
• Finance Manager
• Assistant Finance Manager
• Senior Accountant / Senior Finance roles

Strong background po in reporting, budgeting, cash flow, VAT, CIT, audits, forecasting, and overall finance operations.

If may opening sa company ninyo, referrals, or kahit advice lang from fellow kabayans working in finance here in UAE, malaking tulong na po talaga.

MARAMING SALAMAT and hoping for better days ahead 🙏

Looking for clinic or hospital na hindi ako peperahan. Yung malinaw ang findings. No health insurance. Hindi ko pwede sabihin sa insurance ko sa company, close yun.

Most UAE SMB IT contracts are structured so the provider makes *more* money when your environment is messy. More licenses, more incidents, more  'projects.' There is no incentive for them to optimize your spend — and most don't.

Hello!

Just wanted to ask if someone has been in a similar situation.

I had my diploma attested back in 2018. Nagawa ko na lahat, red ribbon, apostille, uae attestation both sa PH and yung last stamp which is here.

Fast forward to 2026 under a new company, my visa application is getting rejected dahil need daw i-attest nung diploma ko. In which attested naman na. So I called MoFA and I am asked to go to PH Consulate and then sakanila.

However, need ko malaman if need ko ulit yung DFA Apostille before mag PH Consulate for attestation since 5 years lang pala validity ng apostille, and would that mean na I had to re-do everything from the start? Huhuhu

Ask ko lang if anyone here knows how to open an MP2 Account habang andito sa UAE? I don't have any experience sa Pinas work wise so wala akong account or records sa Pag Ibig.

Family Sharing po yung room namin, may sala, 3 restroom walang schedule ang pag luluto pag lalaba at paliligo, need po namin kahit 3 persons kase umuwi na sa pinas yung kasama namen sa bahay, bed space style po siya pero family flat po. I can send photos if interested kayo.

Is pursuing a data analyst career still feasible here in the AE??? I plan on switching careers and I'm thinking Data Analyst but problem is I don't know if may enough market sya specifically for Filipinos. Ano sa tingin niyo?

I’m visiting an Arab colleague over the Eid break in his home country and I want to bring gifts for his family. I’m thinking something pinoy-made since I wanted something unique. May nagbebenta ba dito ng pinoy-made household stuff? Kahit online that ships to Dubai or if possible a physical store near Downtown :)

Just wanted to share my experience…
Last 1-1.5 years ago, i just had experienced a very terrible skin allergies like I don’t know how it started and what causes it. It just suddenly happens like, when I woke up in the morning I’m seeing very small patch in the back of my knees and after I took shower, it comes more and more. Plus, when I am
Stressed over something, it comes out and It’s continuing for like 6 months but since my family is really prone to allergies especially after eating shrimps and crabs so I always have Claritine with me on-hand.

But I went to the doctor for check up and as I expected, it is said that there are many factors that causing it, either because of hot weather that causing me to sweat and itchy, because of the air that has the virus/bacteria and or the clothes from detergents and fabric softeners, but why now?

A little about myself, before that year I did keto and then lowcarb and back to normal but doing OMAD (one meal a day) but I guess that is not the factor. I did all those because I was diagnosed with Pre-diabetic and my blood sugar is really in the borderline and sometimes my hbA1c is over the borderline. So I had to change my lifestyle (OMAD+IF) which helped me. And still the allergies are there, I was really worried and only Claritine I have as medicine as medicine for the allergies. While taking also metformin 500mg/1 day at night time.

Here’s the twist, it’s been a month now that I didn’t have the crazy allergies on my skin not until i went to eat cajun seafood combo in one of the restaurant in deira, I still ate though I know their crabs and shrimps were not fresh but was ready for claritine. Lol, as expected the allergies came and took claritine and is gone. So far, up until now, it is only because of that why I got allergies.

So what I would like to share is as per my conclusion, the one that made my crazy allergies on skin gone is because of the ginger shot that I am drinking for about 4-5 months now. I am making it on my own which I saw how to make in tiktok and even my husband can’t miss a day without drinking it. We are drinking it on an empty stomach after waking up. Ofc, drink water first before drinking the ginger shot.

I am still observing but I guess this is the good result of drinking it each day. So far, I don’t get that allergies anymore unless I eat crabs and shrimps that are not fresh.

Anyway, believe it or not but this is just to share to all and you can browse to tiktok to see how to make it. Thanks for reading.

Hey guys,

Looking for a decent studio or a spacious master room in Dubai that can comfortably fit 3 people. Max budget is 4.5k AED, and we definitely prefer a monthly payment setup.

Hoping to find something with a good, proper kitchen and a clean bathroom—not trying to squeeze into a tiny, sketchy setup. Open to areas like Discovery Gardens, DSO, JVC, Al Furjan, or places near the metro.

If anyone has a place available, a lease transfer, or knows a direct landlord with monthly options, please hit me up with details and photos.

Thanks!
