SEVEN pictures merged to make one picture of the upcomming Maldives with the construction boom at it’s most peak level. A man who got a small plot can just raise it up into the sky with just one room embedded with a kitchen and a toilet, still it can be rented out ONLY for more than 400USD. I guess I need to take some pics after 20:00Hrs in Male’ main road and let everyone get a glimpse of the stampede that goes on the shopping road every night and special on weekeneds. Sometimes I wonder, what if something dreadful happen to male’? A calamity hit Male’? a Storm surge? A cyclone? a Quake? and always I come to the conclusion of STONE AGE.
Since I just posted these stuffs above, something that keeps me always wondering is why doesnt Maldivies impliment “INCOME TAX” policy as the rest of the developing nations? If the things as it is now goes – then it would be -
- RICH GETTING MORE RICHER AND POOR GETTIN MORE POORER! -
Income tax can be charged from individuals who earn a certain amount of money more than actually needed to and then it can vary from individual to individual. Someone who earns more than 1000USD a month can pay an amount of 5% of the amount as income tax and person who earn 800USD can pay 1.5% and like that.

Question: Why does all the guys/girls say or ask
Why are you calling her/him everyday?
Why are you spending on him/her so often?
Why are you guys always on the phone?
Why are you guys meeting each other so often?
The people who ask these questions are in short doing that, but they never know it. Example is sited below
- Last week I encountered with this incident –
My cousin was leaving to Addu before his departure to Germany for a Butler course, he asked me whether I have anything to send to my girlfriend and I just handed him over a silver necklass which I bought from Singapore duty free. He just looked at me and said – “Jinan you don’t buy a lot of things for her right? Btw is this your valentine gift for her?”
Replied: “Nopes, just saw that during my short window shopping and bought it since I liked the carving and design and it just twinkled me that it would look amazing on her”
Sometimes later in the day he told me that during his affair time, he use to give a perfume bottle to his wife every month and if she was in Addu he made sure that he send it to Addu, but he has never spend a month without sending the token of love….
……Here comes the interesting part ……
This guy told me months back when he was single and when I bought a gift for my girlfriend on her B’day he was just creating a big scene with my brother saying why I’m wasting my money on all this things. But now when the truth came in – he was much ahead of me when it comes for spending cause he told me that all the perfumes where above 700MRF and his wife also told me that yah he did and its still now in her room shelf.
….. Things to wonder…..
Every single individual does the same thing but never expect his friend/relative/siblings to do it? But why? Why is this mentality developed in human beings? Why does they feel that we shouldn’t do it while they also did the same thing?
They have given gifts to there loved ones and they still give, they call there loved ones every now and then, they meet there loved ones every single second in which they can make it. But still they go to the extent of asking another person not to do it by stating things making themselves proud…
You know when I was in an affair I didn’t give so much of things to ma gf, I didn’t call her so often nor I went to meet her… But they do….
I don’t know what propels individual to get into these things but I have noticed that this has been happening around all the time and most of the time. Its either to save there prestigious ego setup or just to make themselves sound COOL.
Note: For the critics, I’m writin this ‘yes because I’m facing this most of the time’ and this is something that really turns me upset cause it goes as ‘You do things but dont let others do the samething’. People who give advice should practice it also – what would happen if you buy a valentine card and ask the other person not to buy a valentine card? What would happen if on one hand you finished your call for your beloved and ask the other person not to be on phone for so long?
Dude’s Just be Yourself – The world never stops to give you a second chance to redo it all over again. Judge things yourself and do things which you feel is good and apt to do. Doesnt mean to do bad things in here.

In Philippines I tried my memory luck by tryin to enter ma pin correct but I failed and it was pushed out “YOU FAILED YOURSELF”.
Back in Maldives I tried my Cash Card with a ATM Amchine and they just sucked it in saying “Three Trials OVER, please visit the Tree and ask a sweety for your card”
STORY: One day – Com’on it just another day I went to the ATM centre to check ma balance and I saw a man standing near the Machine with his grocery bags (Agora bags). All of a sudden he came inbetween me and the machine and said, ” Ey madukolabala – mage card ve etharuge” (wait, my card is inside). I asked him what happened? He told me that “oh nothing much he just forgot his pin and entered it wrong so the machine said wrong pin and now I’m waiting for the card to come out.”
Worst part of this Card Pin Entry Saga is – My Phone is disconnected and I can’t pay my phone bill and as said by Newton bro- “Every Action has an equal and opposite Reaction”, how will the valentine girls call me or sms and ask me out? Damn I’m gonna miss it and one way its good. If anyone ask me Eh! who was your valentine or why u didnt get a Valentine? the Answer would be well I just switched off my mobile coz of the demand.
Talking About Valentine day, it reminded me that its more than year since I’m blogging in a peridocal period of time and I have blogged about this very funny day “14th February”. Lemme jst copy and paste it here.

Love Your BeLoved EveryDay
Is it like you got a plan or a timetable to love your beloved?I strongly don’t like the idea of valentine days and how it’s been celebrated worldwide. The concept sounds more like Christian value added subject to attract people. I don’t know that I can love my girl friend more on a particular day of a year – February 14th to be precise. Neither do I believe that I can show her how much I love her on this day? If this day is to show how much you love your beloved, then what about your anniversaries date? Your girl/boy friends or wife/husbands birthday and such other important occasion of his/her life.We don’t need a special day to let our beloved know how much we love her/him neither we need a special day to celebrate our love. For a true lover everyday is like that and every single moment is like that. During the past few years valentine day has been so well hyped that people are forced to believe in this day and take it as another day like New Years day where you take new resolutions for your brand new year regarding your life and then on February 14th Its been tagged as a starting of a new Love year where you take resolutions just for Loved Life.Funny to its core is to celebrate a single day of the year as Lovers Day (Valentine Day)
Love wasn’t to be celebrated on a single dayEach day and every momentEvery second and every minuteLove is celebrated by the loved and beloved,Without keeping an account of theMonth of the year,Day of the year,But just the fact that love is to love now and foreverWithout keeping an account of theTime they spend togetherDays they were togetherMonths they hugged togetherYears went between them all togetherWearing a weather shield protection of love
Celebrate it Everyday…. Not a Single Day
Enjoy it EveryDay… Not a Single Day
Live it Everyday… Not a single Day
Love is not ment for a day
-innovative thinker

This is an e-mail which I recieved and henceforth, I just liked the menu scribbled in it and if anyone wanna just eat something for 80USD including ur loved one then here is the chance to do it in the most romantic area. I dont believe in Valentines day coz for me loving my beloved would be 365 days of a year but not just oneday of the whole year. Thats not justified right?? Well if lovers day is to be celebrated on 14th feb, then I guess ur anniversary day also should be that. Anyways here is some piece of yummy dinner for you guys on the desk

Filipino
Aaaaw first impression – Girls, girls and girls everywhere and I was wondering for the whole day till my wondering mind was answered by the facilitator that “In Philippines the population of women is more than the man”. It goes like 1 guy for 3 girls and how lucky that one guy would be.
Had a lot of traveling in and around Philippines from Manila to Cavite (silang) to Los Banos (university and Laguna) to Cebu (lapu lapu) to Tagatey where I saw a beautiful enchanting active volcano right in the middle of the lake (also known as Taal Lake).
Something that touched my heart the most was the way the Filipino go in between people – with at most respect they just bow down and bring one hand infront and walk there path off without disturbing us in any means.
Filipino food is sweet and sweet and rice is there three time essentiality whether its breakfast or lunch or dinner – Rice always played the role of a must to go with the meal. Chicken or beef or any meat it was always sweet and its hard that you will find a spicy food in Philippines.
Kenny Rogers or McDonalds or KFC or PizzaHut or Maxis or Jollibees or name any brand you have that in the famous malls of Philippines and the most known and well established brand of malls are SM and Robinsons found in everywhere. SM mall Asia also got an IMAX theater and the best and amusing part is that all these world famous food chains are so much in this country that where ever you go, you would find them – even in the petrol pump stations. But more importantly everything served from here is sweet. Malls are suppose to be closed at 9pm and all the night shopping comes to a stand still by 9pm and then starts the night life of music, bar and girls.
Oh forgot to mention what and why I was doing there, I went there for a study tour sponsored by UNDP Maldives with 11 participants from different corners of Maldives all engaged in Agriculture and 3 from UNDP Maldives (including me). It was called “International Discovery learning programe on Agriculture and organizational building for Island development in Maldives.” Organized by International Institute of Rural Reconstruction, Philippines.
Wonderful 11 days of fun and a lot of learning was what we did there and experiencing many more things (oh la la). And not to mention found another mommy (facilitator – Emily) and deedee (Dulsai) and Mr jeetey… it was a ride filled with excitment and fun and enjoyment.
