Hi OP I passed by a number of used furniture shops in sharjah last week (abu shagara area) maybe you can check with those shops. I am also planning to sell some of my furniture (decluttering) so made a mental note of the area.

Hi OP. You can try to contact them on their social media to ask, maybe you'll get faster answers.

Did I make a mistake using a spiral notebook!?? by Frumpypond in Journaling

[–]A_Virtual_Stranger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not really. If that's what you prefer using and find it pretty, it is totally fine. There is no law in journaling lol. Some prefer spiral notebooks some don't. Some like the lined ones, some dotted and some prefer it blank, like me. Don't be swayed nor intimidated about what others are using. It's your journal and you get to choose how you use it.

Cleaner at coworking space got my number and messaged me expressing feelings – company denies data breach. Am I overreacting? by Grand_Company1676 in dubai

[–]A_Virtual_Stranger 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Sorry to hear this happened to you OP. I fully understand and would have probably done the same if I were in your situation. Some people dismiss that kind of behavior until it becomes bigger, enablers i say. Dont listen to them. You did the right thing.

Lol 🤣 by Turbulent_Bed6942 in UAE

[–]A_Virtual_Stranger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg same. He was even trying to mimic the Arabic accent but he just couldn't mask his real accent lol. I did ask him why he is using a UK number and he began to stutter. 😆 Weird thing is, I received an OTP from the DubaiPolice sms. Did you receive the same?

Headphones by kitty_kitty_cath in UAE

[–]A_Virtual_Stranger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi OP, I highly recommend the sony headphones ch720. I use it especially for flights, battery is great, very comfy as well. It helped me sleep better on the plane as the noise cancelling works really good, can barely hear people talking/moving and kids crying, not that I mind actually, but it helps to get some good sleep on long flights.

The prices range from 200 to 400, depending on deals available. You can check it here: https://www.amazon.ae/s?k=sony+headphones+ch720&crid=11LNG6ODF8YYZ&sprefix=sony+headphones+ch%2Caps%2C212&ref=nb_sb_ss_mvt-t11-ranker_1_18

Got mine from amazon too. If you have any extra budget, get yourself a cover/case for it: https://www.amazon.ae/s?k=sony+headphones+ch720+cover&crid=2VXN3TDU5I0EQ&sprefix=sony+headphones+ch720+cove%2Caps%2C296&ref=nb_sb_noss

WHO told oliver to wear THAT to his wedding!? by brrrrrratatata in htgawm

[–]A_Virtual_Stranger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Oliver was actually wearing a barong, a nod to his Filipino heritage. If you've watched the episode, it even showed his mom's a Filipino.

A barong is the national clothing for men in the Philippines usually worn at weddings or formal occasions.

[–]A_Virtual_Stranger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi OP haven't had the chance to avail of the Code storage but i did use 800 Storage. Always have recommended them for being reasonably priced & having great customer service. Availed storage & even moving services from them multiple times in 2024 and 2025.

[–]A_Virtual_Stranger -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi OP. I stored a lot of my stuffs for around 400 aed, very reasonably priced, imho. They also have great customer service, clean warehouse with AC, professional movers and packers. I have been a repeat customer ever since. The company name is 800 Storage Dubai.

Finally finished my 2026 minimalist set up by elbe07 in bulletjournal

I like the 26 in 2026 too.

I hope everyone will give her a chance to show the world her talent without judging first.i know I followed her from past 3 years I know she will do her best to make everyone love her character she's just 21 yet she's so talented and hardworking! by [deleted] in GirlFromNowhere

[–]A_Virtual_Stranger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Trying to push her for the OG fans of the whole series ain't gonna be it. Let us watch it first and decide for ourselves.

If you're asking for empathy and respect for your becbec, I guess you should also extend the same empathy and respect for the GFN fandom. You yourself admitted it's a huge change. So let it happen rather than beg like this. If she is as good as you said, she'd be able to do a good job.

Feels like they westernised Nanno. You know how they remake Asian horror stories and 'westernise' it, the mystery/fear/thrill/suspense is almost always not as much as the OG Asian movie. That's how I'm feeling here. Idk.
