Buhay Pa Blog Ko!

Hey guys!

Ang bilis ng araw and eto na 5 days nalang natitira sa bakasyon ko sa Pinas! Nakaka sad pag iniisip ko. Haist. Andaming masayang naganap mga memories na magpapangiti sa akin kapag nag iisa na ko sa room ko sa Dowha. Hihihi

Sorry nga pala now lang nakapag update ulit. Been busy. Sobra! Wag kayo mag aalala madami ako kwento. Sa ngayon ito muna, isang quick summary ng bakasyon ko:

• November 2. I saw my Mom at the airport sa NAIA when I arrived! Super mega tight huggging ng mga 5 sec ang naganap! I'm so happy to finally see her.
• I watched the One Republic Concert sa Araneta Coliseum last Nov 6 with my good friend Mamon.
• Tapos we supposed to be at Boracay nun November 8 to 11. Pero Dumating si Yolanda,3x na rebooked ang trip namin. Hanggang sa finally naayos at natuloy nun Nov.11 to 14. Wala naman damage sa island, nag down lang ang 3G and wifi  nila. Aside fr that tuloy ang ligaya. Ginawa ko lahat ng makakaya kong water activities hahaha ang hyper ko lang.
• November 15 to 21, I checked in at my favorite condo at Shaw Residenza! Sabi nga ng mga kaibigan ko ay ito na ang aking official residence whenever Im in the country! E bakit naman hindi super accessible ito at ang ganda ng location lahat ng needs ko andun na sa paligid ng condo. Dito ako binibisita ng mga friends and lovers...charot!
• November 16, I booked a mega room for about 15 persons at Centerstage KTV bar in Timog for 5 hours. Nalaman ko na kay Karylle pala na anak ni Zsa Zsa padilla ito. I invited all my bekilou blogger and twitter friends in one place! Super saya ang super busog kami dun. Naaliw ako sa mga boses ng mga kaibigan ko lalo na ang Divadie na si Leo. LOL Dahil nabitin sa saya, dumiretso pa kami sa Tony's bar ek ek nearby, may acoustic band naman dito and inuman ng slight, before i know it alas tres na ng umaga haha. At hindi pa kami diyan natapos tumambay pa kami ng ilang kaibigan sa residenza and nagkape! 6am na kami nagpasya mahiga kaya isang sleepover ang nangyari :-)
• November 17 dinalaw namin ang mother ng collegue ko from Dowha na nasa hospital sa ICU. She's critical na kaya naman we comfort our good friend. Kasabay namin siya nagbakasyon dito sa Pinas
• Tapos habang nasa condo ako naka stay may mga bisitang dumating...hihihi. nahiya ako kwnto...basta sa isang bukod na blogpost nalang. Abangan nyo ha!
• Nov 22 inumpisahan na ko sukatan ng fixed bridge for my teeth. Aalisin na kasi braces ko and nun Nov 29 inalis na nga. Ganda na ng smile ko. LOL! And nag umpisa na din ako ng Glutathione injections ko hihihi. Ang arteh at ang vain ko noh? hayaan nyo na di kasi ako maganda daanin nalang sa puti. charot
• Nov 30 umarkila ako ng isang malaking Van at tumungo kami sa Greenhills shopping center at naghagilap ng scrubs and coats na dadalhin ko sa Dowha pabalik. Medyo kupas at luma na kasi mga gamit ko sa araw araw na pagduduty sa hospital. Nakita ko itong Eco Moda na store. Infairness I love it! Ipinamili ko din ang family ng mga anik anik habang nag ikot ikot. Nakakalibang mamili kaso ang sikip sikip lang. Pero keri na airconditioned naman e.
• After mamili dumadaw kami sa burol nun mom ng friend ko na dinalaw pa namin sa ICU a week ago. She passed away na din. Sa Evergreen Chapel sa pasig. Nakakalungkot na balita. I gave my sincere condolences to my friend's family and nag alay ako ng flowers and a short prayer.
• Dec 1 naman I had dinner with my friends from Lipa City. Dinayo pa nila ako sa Laguna to see me kaya sabi ko sa Domo Tomo japanese resto nalang kami kita kita sa Nuvali, Sta. Rosa Laguna.
• Dec 2 me and Mom went to POEA sattelite branch in Calamba to get our OEC. Which is a requirement to exit the country kapag OFW ka. Inagahan ko na pagkuha nito baka magka aberya na naman like last year na hindi ako binigyan and have to rebooked my flight back to Dowha.
• Dec 3 was our Tagaytay trip with my family and some close relatives! We went to Picnic Grove na madumi na and we tried their bulok zipline and cable car. LOL. Naglunch kami sa Leslie's na matigas yun karne ng bulalo. Pinakamasaya ako sa Skyranch! ang ganda! ang linis! Nag try ako nun version nila ng London Eye na ang ganda ng view as in! may anchors away din sila, mini coaster, at sumakay ulit ako ng Zipline!~haha angdami ko tili. Kaya eto till now na ginagawa ko tong post na ito ay paos na paos ako! may ubo na din ako sa sobrang pagod at araw araw na puyat! jusme!
• And ngayon week naka check in ulit ako sa official residence ko, san pa? Shaw Residenza for 4 days lang. hehe. Nakapahinga ako dito, nakakumpleto ng tulog haha mabuti pang malayo ako sa family e noh? charot.
• May dinner dito sa condo later with my closest friends, excited na ko. O siya yun muna sa ngayon, naka blog ako kasi may time! 
• And kahapon pala nagtapang tapangan ako and had myself tested for HIV sa isang discreet clinic sa Manila na pinapamahalaan ng mga volunteers ng Love Yourself. Nakahinga ako ng maluwag nun Negative naman ako. Thank you Lord!
• By the way sa December 11 na flight ko. Awwww sad!

Looking For A Job Abroad?

How did you get a job abroad?

How can you apply for a job online?

Well some are asking, and I wanna share to you how I got a job here in the middle east.

I was working my ass off at my former hospital back there in the Philippines, and still getting very low pay. I thought, I didn't deserved it! I could have more.

A friend told me how much they earned working there, but I was reluctant because, middle east was extremely hot! and very much a Muslim country! I won't enjoy working there, I told them.

She just answered me this...do you have a dream? Own your house? Buy anything you want? Do you wish to help your family? Do you wish of giving them better life? You can't have them while you're stuck in here...

It hit me. Its been five years since I started working here and yet, I haven't have a single penny on my bank account! I can't save up for my future. My salary was just enough to pay all my basic needs and couldn't even share some to my family. Its awful.

So I made a decision: I will apply for a job abroad. But not in Saudi Arabia! definitely not! LOL. Somewhere not so strict I said, an open city like Dubai or Qatar perhaps.

So I sat in front of my laptop and went to the:

(1) POEA website. I want it to be legal and safe.
(2) clicked on online services at the right side.
(3)clicked approved job orders.
(4) saw three links: approved job orders by position, by country and by agency.
(5)I clicked on them and typed in my title on the search bar. I found tons of results.
(6)I listed those recruitment agencies on a piece of paper. I narrowed it down to a shorter lists.
(7)I started visiting those agencies websites. There's a link wherein you could check if that agency is legal or not on the POEA website as well. (click here)
(8)I only picked agencies who are not asking for placement fees. I found three. Mahirap ang buhay now noh, kaya dapat yun walang placement fees and piliin!
(9)I updated my resume. Took new photos too, yun cute LOL!
(10) I submitted my resume online. Visit them personally too, sometimes, they appreciate a personal submissions, you know!
(11)I waited. And go on with my life. Prayed too! O di ba, nagdadasal din ako noh!

After a month, two of the three agencies called me. The other one bound for Dubai and the other in Doha. Asking me to submit this and that. That one in Dubai was promising. An American hospital, I said wow! But i have too get through a lot of interviews and exams. I was on my 2nd interview when the agency going to Doha called me again, and asking me to send my resume to their email again. I did.

After a month. I was told that out of 5o applicants I was one of 5 being picked and about to be offered a contract!

I was like whoa! Whats this? No interview? No exams? is this true??? Just my resume and my credentials????

Of course, I asked the agency about it. They said, they are picking applicants based on educational background, years of work experience, seminars attended and etc.

Was my credentials that good? Toinks!

After almost six months of preparing the necessary documents and requirements. I'm finally here in Doha, having a good time and the rest is history.

I hope this post helps.

A Whole Day with the One You Love

The day finally came,november 27 thursday,the day that Im going to see my boyfriend for the second time after last week n maging kami,van palang going to ortigas excited n ko hehe.I was thinking what Im gonna say once I see him..hmmm..kamusta?or hello I miss u(parang korni hehe) or did u miss me?( oa naman haha)and I just decided na hi bhe its so nice to see u again nalang sabihin ko..so nauna ako dumating he's from work kasi graveyard shift siya from a call center company and it was 11am already 10am off niya.So I decided to go straight at POEA since my origanal plan for today was to go there and inquire about canada's job orders and etc and he presented himself to accompany me that he wants to be with me again(I was a bit kilig nga when he said that),he texted me and said nasa harap n siya POEA and meet ko daw siya sa labas.So I immediately spotted him at the crowd,who could forget his image, he was all Im thinking the whole 4days since maging kami hehe.and all I could say to him was "wala kwenta POEA"haha after all the thinking I did at the van what to say and yun lang pala ang masasabi ko,its so unromantic!haha.
Hmm,at the POEA I think they have to improve their system,they lack the signage where to go or what to do when you go there.Even the people at the counter you will have no idea whats in that,or what was the line!Unlike other government agencies.
Our next stop was my current agency bound to UAE as a therapist,they already did a second interview with me and Im scheduled for exam this january,my canada dream was only my fall back hehe.I mean if ever I dont get to UAE canada will be my other target.I just fill-ed-up some papers because they called me that I still havent fill that up.While doing that,JL (my bf's name) was eating his waffle hehe he's not eating anything since yesterday night kawawa naman!tsk tsk hehe.
So after that,we went to megamall to look for a place to eat and to cool a little down it was so hot that day!
After looking for a nice and not so crowded place,we decide to ate lunch at Tokyo Tokyo.We ordered beef teriyaki sumo meals that can shared by two poeple.He was so hungry and he ate 2 and a half rice hehe(takaw!)While eating I asked him about the friendster message he sent me the other night I said"ano naman yun message n yun sinend mo?"sabi niya" alin dun?" I said"yun minessage mo sakin nakalagy dun,sabi mo single?single pala ha!"(it was about my profile at friendster where I supposed to put -->in a relationship,but instead whats in there was --->single.hehe. And I said dont worry I already change my status to IN A RELATIONSHIP.
We headed at Taft to visit an agency that I saw at the net,riding the MRT we were so close standing in the middle of the train I was almost hugging him(hmm sarappp)u already know MRT was jammed pack!And if its so hot at ortigas,when we get to taft it was raining so hard and we are so wet we're only sharing one umbrella(sira pa!)while walking the streets!
But its not my lucky day,the opening for canada was full already.And at the other agency bound to new zealand,was not for me too.But its alright we have now the time to go on our date and we have the whole afternoon and the night(because we are not planning to go home today haha)

Mall of Asia:Its was 4pm already and we saw the movie "twilight",its was good,a love story,a complicated one,because the guy was a vampire who only drink animal blood.It was a blockbuster hit at the US,well,maybe bacause it was adopted from a hit book before and people are waiting to see it at the big screen.I cant kiss him this time because we were sitting next to a lot of people unlike the firt time we watched a movie hehe so we just settled at holding our hands.
After that good movie we stroll a little bit..once in a while we were holding hands naks HHWW(holding hands while walking hehe)but not for long,Im not the PDA type of guy and Im not sure if he is too.We stayed at the ice skating ring,watched the people enjoying the ice...I envy them I wanna learn how to ice skate hehe next time we are going to try that..i cant wait for us to get slammed at the ice because for sure we are not going to to the balancing once we're there hehe.
We had dinner,and then we think of a place to spend the night,he wanted me to stay at their house,but i refused im not ready to meet his family yet,and im not good at the family thing stuff I dont know,I told u,im weird hehe

And we finally decided where to spend our first night and Im a bit nervous and excited its been 3months since my last intimate time with someone.we run out of cash so I decided to use my card im a bit worried that it will appear on my bill next time and my sister had this habbit of opening my monthly bills!!!!!haha.For sure mabubuking na nag %%@@### kami!!!haha.And FYI we share every bills for today I dont want to be unfair to him,although I know he can afford it,i just dont like him taking all the bills,life in our country is not good mahirap kumita ng pera,right?hehe.

I texted my sister to tell her that im not going home,and she replied "ang galing mo.sino ba yan kasama mo?ano real name nyan alam mo ba???yun real name ha!" i told JL about it and he laughed,but my sister is very odd in showing her love for me hehe.She used to say,"baka mamaya mapatay ka sa pag date date mo n yan" and my eyeballs are just rolling when shes in that mood hehe.

So there we spend the whole night together...and..I cant tell you the details haha.The next day its was morning,we have to go home.And I gave him a long and passionate goodbye kiss hehe.
Thats all for now guys.Got to go!Ciao!
