You have been directed to meangirljowayne.blogspot.com ... it means that you clicked my link from the DaangMunti website... WeLcome visitors!!! if you're from the daangmunti site, most probably ay kamag anak ko kayo!!! Marhaba!
FYI... I am Joanne Bautista Lopez...being one of the Bautistas is a fact, but being musically inclined just like all the Bautista's, is a mere fiction ... [ I am a Lopez in that regard.. peace out Tay!] I am here in the open Arab city of Abu Dhabi, together with my whole fam.. Tatay and Nanay included, Ate Len & Kuya Romeo and sister Ma-anne. And of course with our beloved cousins: Kuya Ronnie, Kuya Jerry son of Kuya Val, Ate Mayla daughter of Kuya Mano, and other cousins from the Lopez side: Ate Tets and Kuya Jay.
I have been blogging since last year but i haven't got much time to maintain this, and since Kuya Amy linked my site to the family website [Thanks Kuya], I have no choice but to make sense out of this site...[Kakahiya naman sa inyo eh].
Meanwhile, just click on the linkies on the side bar and enjoy the pix... I will try to update all my links with recent photos and posts as often as possible...
Thanks once again for visiting my site!!! Mabuhay ang mga Bautistang magaganda at pogi!!!

Jebel Hafeet Mountains AI Ain...






January 6th 2006, the family decided to head south to the infamous Oasis City of the Emirates which is Al Ain. It was a two hour drive from the city and just following the brown signs of the town led us to the rocky mountains of Jebel Hafeet. 1350 meters high, of craggy rock, the mountain is a major landmark positioned to the south of the city. A 13 kilometer long road winds its way to the summit where temperatures are significantly lower. On a clear day there are magnificent views of the city and it’s surrounds, we had pictures taken from near top of the mountain but we decided not to go further since we all agreed we were so Lula na..=>
On top of that we also experienced a natural foot spa with all the soaking we need in Al Ain's hot spring. The warm water was so relaxing and the smell of grilled kabab of the neighboring campers added some thrill. We decided to test our trecking skills and headed on top of the mountain by foot. At the middle of the trail, to my dismay, I was too scared to even climb one step higher so I decided to call it quits and just enjoy the view from the foot of the mountain. The place was really something and we enjoyed every single sight Al Ain has to offer. And for sure we are definitely going back there!
