The Makiav3llian Enchantment…

When you just thought there wasn’t really a valid reason to prolong my stay in Dubai, something else should pop right out of the blue. No, it wasn’t a job offer nor was it a counter offer from my previous employer, though it would be only a price tag of 12K or higher that would be the only thing that could attract me back.
I was in for a shock and though I was warned ahead, I never expected it to be so soon. I announce to the entire UAE, after more then 15 years, my best friend in Dubai has finally decided to come back. I was taken in for a shock when some clown decided to call me and ask for directions. Little did I know that it actually was my best friend Dervin Correa. I mean my best friend whom after all this time, I finally have him all for myself. Ok, that sounds really lame but with the way our relationship soured in the Philippines, this was such a great opportunity for me to get things working again. You’d never guess how crappy it really was, I’d get home for Christmas and we’d never even try to meet up except for the Christmas party where we don’t even spend time talking and it’s a real shame. However since he’ back I thing we can get our groove back even though we are 15 years older it’s still the good ol’ Dee and Mak connection. And as for you Dee, welcome back old friend, welcome back…

After much deliberation and hiding, I finally get to tell the world that I have successfully moved to another part of the UAE. I really didn’t get into a free agent tussle but I finally decided to move forward and after six months going through Tawam Hospital’s rigorous screening process. My deepest thanks to Tito Jim for considering me for this position and fighting for me as the position was destined for a UAE national.
So just to make it official and something of a very late announcement, I have now transferred to Tawam Hospital and I am no longer a resident of Dubai as my work has now brought me to Al Ain. As for first impressions, everything that was told to me about this small but friendly town is true. Despite its small stature, Al Ain is pretty much alright, though it is not as booming as Dubai, it does have one of the better hospitals in the gulf and it definitely has one of the better pro-staff systems there could be. I personally believe I landed on a gold mine with Tawam and most likely I’ll be plying my trade here in Al Ain for a while. I may be far from Dubai but I definitely feel right at home.
