    About the Blog: #InMyHeartJMKayne Started in 2008 when I first moved to Abu Dhabi. Some of the old entries came from my Yahoo account.

    OEC 2.0 (2016 Version)

    So, last year I have created a blog post entitled Exit-OEC. This was about how to create your online OFW data and the process of logging in to bmonline.com where you have to register your details as an OFW and be able to request for an appointment in getting OEC (Overseas Employment Certificate).

On this post, I am sharing you my experience during my 27 Dec 2016 – OEC Appointment schedule.   I have logged in to my account, schedule the appointment and after completing…

    How to Write Articles

    How to Write Articles Been encouraging some of our brethren to write for The Vineyard Magazine and found out that some of you are actually interested but didn’t know where to start. So I’m doing this post to give some basic tips on how to write an article in general. :) Hey!

    #CreativeCourage2020 Recap

    Batang 90s: Instructions For Life

    If you are a Batang 90s or someone born during the 1900s, you’d probably get one of these papers… a list of advises/instructions for life that needs to be shared to a number of people and that will also mean a few meanings depending on how many people you shared it.
