They work hard, they’re fun, they’re friendly, and they’re amazingly social!

So when one ILQ’s supporters told me that they wanted to spread some ILQ love, it was my pleasure to give them some support! I’m definately going to try and make Fiesta Pinoy 2011.

It was so great to be a part of a fun event! We’re taught in our faith, that it’s important to treat all of God’s creatures with respect.

Let’s look at the concept of Halal for example (no I’m not encouraging eating your pets! Relax!) The reason why we have Halal food is because it’s a human way of killing livestock. So it’s funny how someone can go and kick a cat, but then ask for a Halal burger. Ah well, I digress!

Interested in seeing a few photos of the event? Click here http://iloveqatar.net/forum/read.php?5,12035

If you were one of the attendees, you could have picked up some ILQ freebies, like one of these Beachballs!

What better a team than two companies who just want to make Qatar a better place! In fact, I think it’s quite suitable for me to use this japanese smiley face —>   ^_^

So for today, at the W hotel and Marriott, all guests will be greeted with a rose and a message from our hearts. On the 18th of February you’ll find ILQ and VF on the Corniche and at the Pearl. So come and claim your rose!

I wonder how many people will be able to take some awesome shots since there are so many photographers in Qatar.

iLoveQatar.net – Live Love.

No no, not the one in Villaggio which we gave the scoop on a while back http://iloveqatar.net/forum/read.php?5,7320,7320#msg-7320, but a full fledged water park!

The aqua park will be an entertainment centre spread over 100,000sq m on the Salwa Road, what’s better, it’ll be open April 2010!!

“Hala Group Enterprises general manager Ijaz Malik told Gulf Times that the park would feature a giant “wave pool”, a “lazy river”, an activity pool, a multiple slides complex, a family pool and a “dry” corner. Hala Group Enterprises is the developer of the project

Adjacent to the aqua park will be a 300,000sq m resort, currently under-construction and expected
to be completed in June 2011.”
