HAHAHAHSULA (HAHAHA-ang Hassle)
HAHAHAHSULA (HAHAHA-ang Hassle) This song has been my LSS for the past few days, magandang kanta kasi – #Vispop! I’m sure marami ang makaka-relate… I wanna share it to some friends (na hindi Bisaya) who asked about its meaning… So I attempted to translate it in Filipino (Tagalog) – which I am not very good at ^^, pero hopefully I will give justice to it.. hehehe.. Feel free to comment if I made some lines incorrectly in Tagalog… (open tayo dyan J ) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * By: Kurt Fick feat. Paola Sandiego Translation by JM Bacus-Chavez…

Exit – OEC
POEA Online – Balik Manggagawa Online Processing System We’re going home! !! Among the many hassles we Filipinos go through… (OFW to be specific) is the yearly visit to the embassy/consulate (if you could take a leave yearly) and get the so called OEC. OEC is – Overseas Employment Certificate. For the past 6 years, I often just show up to the embassy- fall in line and wait until my turn to present the required documents, pay for Pag-ibig, OWWA and others… but this year the embassy (in UAE) has started doing online appointment by visiting the website: http://bmonline.poea.gov.ph/ So, for those who plan to go on vacation, here is…

Solace
Photo credits from Chicken Soup FB page. Solace I don’t know if it is because I am sick (cough, runny nose, dry throat etc.) because of the change weather or it’s because this is just where I am right now. I remember a friend who once said, in life we go up and down and when we are the bottom we don’t give up. Instead, we stay and feel the moment because nothing is temporary. Someday, one day the bottom has nowhere else to go but to return back up! So here I am finding solace to the fact that I could actually express the feelings through writing and as I…

Maldives: Adventure Trip
Day 3 – Adventure Trip Day 3 is no different from the past 2 days. The only thing is that we don’t stand by in an island; instead we are offshore 80% of the trip. They call it Adventure trip because it allows you to do snorkeling, jumping from the 3-storey boat, and dolphin watching + a short stop over at Himmafushi Island where you find the cheapest souvenir shops in the island compared to the shops in the capital. We started at the same time at 10 am and road a small boat to our Tourist/Adventure 3-storey boat. Stayed on the 3rd floor and went our way to the…

Taxi
TAXI Today is a long day, OT and a very loaded, stressful week for me. After work I headed to a restaurant to fill my hunger tummy and regenerate energy. Taxi was rare, I waited for some time – some overtake and took the cab which should be mine. But I stay calm and finally it arrived. Me: Hamdan boss Driver: Where exactly… I gave the location but he didn’t know. So I asked: Me: Are you new? Driver: Yes. Yes in Abu Dhabi but not in the UAE. So I told him to drive to Hamdan & I will teach him where the location is. In a minute; he…

FIBA 3×3 World Tour (in Abu Dhabi)
FIBA 3×3 Wolrd Tour 2015 It’s a date! Early this week Koko and I have set this day for a basketball game date! J See the photos below… We never expect that the venue will be full packed; while we were still on the taxi my hopes went low seeing a lot of people outside. We toured around looking for a space but none. We almost gave up, until I realized…
