Who You Become?

By
From inception you become a being with no consciousness until you are born, being an infant you’ll be the most demanding parasite, cry when you need something, cry when you feel uncomfortable, and cry for no reason at all…then grow to be a toddler, the most stubborn creature, live by playing and everything else is a game…then come adolescence, curiosity will be your main motivation not thinking of the consequences of your actions, reckless, you do as you please…then adulthood, as you become aware of your world you’ll learn to compete as you will desire for achievements thus making you the vicious, treacherous predator or if you’ll not be able to fight you’ll be the pathetic prey…Then the inevitable, you’ll grow older…..on this part I cannot tell because it will be YOU who will decide on what would you be at the end of it all…a parasite again or the host?

I have decided, I am going to be the host who will sufficiently provide for my dependents. And by that I mean to go on and work my ass out in working out to be able to achieve what we call financial independence.

    Who one becomes results from the things a person does or does not do. No one becomes a good doctor without studying. So one must study to become a successful businessman. Lack of ambition, determination, inaction, etc. leave the person behind.

Mga Bagong Bayani (OFW) Ipagbunyi inyong Kadakilaan

By
Sa bawat daan na iyong tinahak Sa mga luha sa mata mo pumatak Sa katawan mong pagod at batak Sa pamilya mong muntik mawasak Sa bawat mga araw na lumilipas Sa yugto ng buhay mong nalalagas Sa damdamin mong nagagasgas Sa mga nagdaraang mga oras Saan ka kaya patutungo? Sino kaya ang sa luha magpapatuyo? May hahagod kaya sa katawang hapo? Manitili kayang pamilya mo ay buo? Araw na lumipas maibabalik ba? Makikita ba mga sandaling nawala? Kaya pa ba sa bigat ng iyong dala? Oras na nagdaan mapapalitan ba? Mga Bagong Bayani....Ipagbunyi inyong kadakilaan..

OFW Christmas Blues (Pasko na Naman)

By
I can smell the “Spirit of Christmas” but I cannot feel the joy it brings like it does when I am still back home in the Philippines. Christmas in the Middle East is just an ordinary working day unless it falls on a Friday. Unfortunately this year it falls on a Thursday and it only means that while almost all people around the world are celebrating CHRISTMAS we the “Middle Easterners” are in the office working and contemplating at the same time. Maybe I can treat myself with a piece of shawarma after office and walk along the corniche (Bay area) and probably order “milked tea” while trying to enjoy the cold breeze.

OFW Success Story (Eden Zaniega de Castro-Villa)

By
Eden Zaniega de Castro-Villa, who had worked in Hongkong as a household service worker (HSW) to earn dollars for her family in La Union, is now generating much bigger income from her handicraft business, which was expanded with the financial assistance from the Overseas Workers Welfare Association (OWWA). “After working overseas, I decided to go home and open a small school and office supplies and craft store ,” shared Eden, who also at the same time was engaged in silk farming. Source: Official Website of the Department of Labor and Employment For OFWs, this is the kind of story that keeps us motivated to dream. The story of Eden Zaniega re-invigorates my enthusiasm to go on. It gives me hope that someday I too can succeed on my future plans after retiring as an OFW (Overworked Filipino Worker) Oops! I mean Overseas Filipino Worker (smile). Being away from home just to provide for the family is not the life I have imagined of having when I got married. I wanted a simple yet comfo...
