Traumatic Experience

Life is a survival and we all know about that. When my sister left Cebu City and moved to the USA I had no choice but to go back to my family in Cagayan. My job back in Cebu City was an okay work but the compensation was not enough to support all my needs including apartment rental. I found a job when I came back to Cagayan De Oro City but after I finished the six months contract I was penniless. I had no money for almost a year and depending with my sisters and parents. Then, a friend of mine who works abroad invited me to come after her in Dubai. So, I asked help from my parents for the expenses like tourist visa, passport and other documents that needed to get there. Right now, my Mom has bad credit loans that they acquired when I went to Dubai. Moreover, it was January of 2008 when I flew to Dubai as tourist. I didn't get a job right away so I had to extend my visa to stay in the country. Tow months after, I got a call from one of the companies that I applied. Then, after a month I received my first salary but not the full amount. As per requirement by the company, employee should have a cash bond remained in their possession just in case we don't finish our contract. The next month they asked us to have medical examination. It was shocking news to me when i found out that I was positive with Hepatitis during the first medical examination I got. Then, I asked for second opinion and it came out positive but the doctor asked me to come back again. The third result was positive again and that was the final exam i got. I was devastated and couldn't accept what happened to me. I wasn't being careful in going to that place. I didn't finish my contract because the company sent me home and they never gave back to me the cash bond from my two months salary. They paid for my plane ticket and that was it. My Mother didn't have the money to pay off the loan she had when i went to Dubai. I owe big amount of money from my mother and I don't know how to pay that amount since i can't find a job with my health situation. That was a very traumatic experience for me. If only i could turn the clock back i would not go to the country. Now, I am depressed and owed money from my parents.

Visiting the Park

Our pet prince having a good run in the park....

He's checking at us., he found some grasshopper and if he thinks we are not looking at him , he will eat the poor grasshopper,,but this time he succeeded.. only the leg left to the poor insect..

He's tasting the grass if its edible or not,, he always does that,even chicken poop, plastic cellophane, plants, anything that looks exciting to chew after tasting it,, he will eat the grass, maybe it taste nice to his tongue

This is prince and me having a good time outside, i took him to the park , coz his been very active inside the house always running around,, we don't have enough space in our house for him to play so once i got the time , i always take him outside or my father will bring him to the beach,.

Resting at the side of the road, after eating all the insect and the grass at the park...looking for water,,,
He is a lousy dog, after having fun running and chasing birds in the park. he didn't even look at our parents who is calling him, he just lying in the floor. ,

Just for me

After my sister moved to my brother's house in general santos it took me a great deal to try to find a job here in CDO, but still no luck for me, so i just take care of the thing here in the house, like cleaning, washing the clothes, paying the bills since i don't have much to do, go to the veterinarian to give our dog a shot of vaccine. at first its kind a tiring and boring doing that stuff at home, I'm use to just set in front of a TV or going out with my friends its kind a new to me but since i don't have a job yet and my parents are old but not that old old, might as will help them with the chores, but sometime i question my self why still don't have job what is wrong with me??, I've been looking for a job for quit sometime now but all the company i'm applying wont hire me, i want to apply for PNP so that i could use my degree but i don't have money for the necessary requirement needed and i have to go to Libona to get a waver for my height because i didn't pass the height required by Napolcom,,it's kind a disappointing you know, all my siblings are doing well, they have a husband who provide for them or a job that pays will. they had their life fix and all, but for me, i have to accept the fact that i dont have luck as them, i just think positive and make all the of it works..anyways i have prince our shitzue dog,(that my sister keep texting me to send prince in general santos as if i'll do that,) to make us laugh with his chasing cockroach thing, i think time will come for me to find a place in the sun.

Found the Queen of PDF Download

My youngest sister already left home and went to General Santos. She will have a new job waiting for her over there courtesy of our younger brother. My brother is a manager of Jollibee; one of the successful food chain establishments in the country. My sister and I are having hard time finding a decent job in our place. I'm glad that our brother thought of helping her to get a job. I am taking control of this laptop that my older sister left when she went back to US. I am also in charge of all the monthly bills for the internet. It is very stressful thinking where to get money to pay for the internet bills since I don't have a regular job. I am still depending with my father's pension and the small amount I earn in blogging. I am a newbie blogger and trying to learn lots of things about blogging. Anyhow, my sister is so happy that she is now having a job. My brother told her earlier to read some article online that would be related to the job qualification. Gladly, she found pdfqueen.com and did the pdf download of the business related article that she needs before she left. Take a look of this PDF search engine and give it a try. It is very easy to use and fast. I could use this search engine with other important downloads in the future.

Internet Connection

We apply for an internet connection recently, some company have a internet connection promo and we kind of like what the company agent told us that you dont have to pay for it right away,no installation fee,free phone set and DSL modem, since my sister left her laptop to us we decided to try it and we are eager to apply it right away so that the hassle of going to internet cafe ang everyday expenses paying for it, in short to save money, but apparently the internet company seems not that happy in giving their service to their client, we've wait for five days before they installs the telephone and the DSL modem but the internet and phone line not activated yet, and we wait for more than ten days for the connection, finally we are excited to try it, having an internet connection give us an advantage, we can communicate with our sisters and friends abroad, surfing the net anytime we want not worrying how much time we spend and we can save save money, but just yesterday we received the bill and it is a shock to us to see the bill amount, they charge us for the installation and all the stuff about internet connection and it not even due yet, we try to settle the matter with their office but they saying it not true about free installation and all, we argue and all but they keep insisting it and we keep texting and calling the agent who convinced us, just when you think that having promos like that can save you money and experience having freebies but instead you got huge amount money to pay for that internet bill. lesson learned, that not all promos and free stuff you read or heard is true, that before you apply for anything that you think its advantage to you, you have to make sure that its really true not just hoax.

Away From Home


My sister is moving to General Santos Cotabato Province in Mindanao this weekend looking for new opportunities, because their still no luck here for new jobs..its hard when your in your late 20's job opportunity's don't came easily..almost all the company's they hire fresh graduate or age 25 below or have bachelor degrees or business related courses.she's been trying so hard to have job but nothing happens. as its goes with me, I'm 25 years old now i am also trying to have a job, so she decided to move out, so that maybe if we separated we might find or have job on our own, because to be honest we still sometimes depend to our parents financially, so moving on, she will live with my brother Alex there since my brother is working in General Santos, it is not her first time to be away from us, she lives in Cebu for almost 5 yrs with my sisters so we are worried but no to much because we know that she can take care of herself. I'm just praying that its not gonna be hard finding job there, and its her first time in that city, i hope that even though General Santos City is not the same as Cebu and Cagayan de Oro city it has great opportunity for her.
