How to get a Police Clearance Certificate in Abu Dhabi (2017) – with 2018 updates
Police Clearance Certificate (PPC) is a good conduct certificate for an individual taken from your home country or overseas if you have stayed in that country for a while. Just like me – been in Abu Dhabi for almost 9 years now. In the Philippines, this is pretty much the version of our NBI Clearance. PPC is usually needed for new employments in government or semi-government companies, so as some other private companies. Some use it for immigration purposes to a few European countries, Australia, 🇦🇺 Ireland, 🇮🇪 and Canada🇨🇦. Getting one here in Abu Dhabi is easy.

On Passion: A #TakeHome on Communication & Public Speaking
Communication & Public Speaking. The above photo has a direct link of the slides or presentation I used recently in delivering a talk about one of my passion. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a teacher. I opt to act as a teacher and gather younger kids in my place to be my students. And yes I enjoyed it. But I have this funny reason why I wanted to be a teacher… back in Elementary school I studied in a public school where in every time there is a periodical test, examiners are given a snacks. Most of the time a sandwich plus a bottle of…

Concert Experience: Hillsong United Live in Dubai
Dubai, UAE: Hillsong United Live in Dubai! Ticking off a bucketlist when the chance is at hand? Why not!?!

After the Hiatus
After the Hiatus – or before, this is what it was . . . It’s been 40 days (and a day) since I left Facebook for a soul-searching or an offering for the Holy week, I call it a sacrifice. I also gave up soda during those days and this is a public confession. The Cola Challenge I took a few sip in 3 or 4 occasions over the 40 days – I think I did it at least 5 times?!?. The oily/yummy viand signals your mind that it is so good to take even just a sip is indeed a challenge. I struggled and felt guilty – but the good thing…
