Life Lately + See you soon, Dubai!
Life Lately . . . Before the year ends (2017), #TheKokobears (Darrelle and I) hit the road from Abu Dhabi to Dubai. A new life + adventure + service awaits us there. Hitting the road didn’t end there, I also hit the air (haha) by flying back to the Philippines and closed 2017 in Cebu. Allow me to give you an overview of how’s life lately and once again, I’m hitting the road/air back once again – heading to Dubai this time (Well, I guess I might just landed when this post goes public.)

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). This year as a prep for my January 2016 (unplanned) vacation, I have gone through the same process but with a little bit of improvements. 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! Remember – that we don’t need a “pro” for this; what we need is your heart and commitment. I often share during talks that I am a struggling writer. I have submitted stories and poem in my school paper but didn’t get them published. Yet I never stop writing. Writing calms me down and expressing my thoughts…

#CreativeCourage2020 Recap
We have bid Goodbye to 2020 and Hello 2021. The moment or season of the year where we start over and list down our goals and also review the past goals and all other goal setting stuffs.

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.

So I thought of sharing 7 Financial Goals that I would like to do/achieve (or already doing) for 2020. 1.

So this 2020, commit to sticking on…
