The Fear of Losing Jobs
As many of you know, I am an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker) – one of the so called “Bagong Bayani”. I am in Abu Dhabi UAE for the past 8 years and 2 months (never thought I’d go this far…) Like many OFW I have gone through the ups and downs of this life which many of the people in the Philippines especially those who haven’t been abroad don’t know, understand and realize. It pains me to hear and see family, friends and relatives (or even Facebook friends who are not that close) thinking that someone who is abroad is “rich”, that money is effortlessly gained. That if “naka-abroad…

2016 – Year-End Review
Another year is about to close and a New Year is about to unfold. I struggled how to structure this year’s year-end review that it took me only 2 days before 2017 to complete it. Thanks to Arriane Serafico! – a new personality/mentor I have followed for a while who has inspired me in some ways. She has given this worksheet where I could easily use to complete my 2016 year-end review. So, in this post, I will divide it into 4 major topics as I look back what this year has been according to the worksheet guide. 3 Things I’m Most Proud Of Accomplishing in 2016 This year, aside…

#RelationshipGoals
Social media has highlighted many #RelationshipGoals photos and videos. In a recent blogpost from one of the bloggers I follow – Kryz on ThirstyThoughts , she wrote an open letter to the millennials… inside that blogpost are beautiful photos of her, but then what happens behind the scene is something not many know. . . which makes a superficial/shallow #hashtags of #WhateverGoals! In this blog post, I have asked some friends of what are their #RelationshipGoals (in all aspects) many have seen it but only 2 brave souls were keen enough to give me a respond. So here are 3 #relationshipgoals + explainations (I have added mine too.) Read on! #1.…

Another 8! – My Blogging Journey so far . . .
My Blogging Journey so far . . . If not because of LinkedIn, I won’t remember that during this month (November) in 2008 right before I arrived in Abu Dhabi – I have started my little steps to the world of blogging. . . . It has been 8 years! . . . To date, I still enjoy doing so. Five (5) years ago I dreamt of having my own website during our SFL DISCOVERY WEEKEND – 2011 activity. I wished to use www.beinspired.com – but it has been taken already. This year I come to realize that it culminates that five (5) year plan we had in one of…

8 Years in Abu Dhabi
This is a quick post on how time passes by. My Facebook newsfeed today, 12th October 2016 showed a 7 year photo of me being home in the Philippines. That was my first “OFW Balik-bayan moment” after a year of being in the world’s richest city! Those years seemed to pass in just a click. A lot have changed, few remained the same and one thing has been constant. Changes – Aspects in life such as physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, psychological and more. Remained – Family (also constant), Friends (true one stays), the same JM or BJ that left Cebu in Sept 2008 etc. Constant –…
