B.U.S.Y. Very Very Busy

-
This picture depicts how hard it is in finding a job. May 1 was the busiest day in the entire 2012 for me, just because it was Labor Day and among the celebrations we were having is the Jobs Fair. 

I find it hard to believe that there are thousands who came, waiting in line for their turn to be interviewed by managers and hiring officers. It is such a pity that people look for livelihood thru jobs, despite the Philippines being a rich country. 

Though employment may be scarce or hard to find, people still enjoy being in this kind of crowd, because it is a challenge. 

I am very very fortunate to have found a job that suits me fine and one that I enjoy despite being away from home, being away from the kids, and despite being with people of different characters and attitude. 

I do not complain, really, but I think I also deserve a trip to the beach resort, have a good massage, indulge in some good cups of coffee in grand private rooms of my choice, enjoy a bar of chocolate while indulging in my pending reads. 

Hah! The question is when. When? When? When?

this is because no one among the new generation is willing to till the vast and rich lands we have.

we all are looking for the glamour of business environment...

we need to industrilized farming in the philippines so that we can employ more of these people looking for job...

everyone deserves a break from work no matter how simple of grand it is. we need to pause once in a while and smell the flowers. :)

i look forward to every weekends because like you, it is only then that i get to spend quality and loong hours with my family (considering that my wife+i go to work & our son goes to school daily). para ka na ring OFW kaya lang lamang ka kasi you're only ride(s) away from HOME.

blessed are the people who are always grateful to have decent work, they will have food on their plates and will be able provide something for their family.

@GensanBoi: Minsan talaga kailangang balikan ang old fashioned farming, and go back to the basics. It is actually more rewarding, methinks.

@PhotoCache: Happy summer!

@DocGelo: Woohoo, eh ikaw nga ata itong puro R and R eh, hehe...

Hi.

I believe that people who go job fairs are so persistent. They can endure long lines and stay for several hours to get a job.

I am just so blessed go have a job that can support my needs. Thanks for the post.

Warning! Allergic Reactions Appear

And what would that be? You would surely ask that. Last week, I found myself scratching my legs because they are so itchy. There's this blotches in it wherein the skin looks like it has been stung by a bee, or a mosquito bite. I scratched it and whoa, it became wider. It was all over my legs, mostly near below the knee part. I was aghast at what has become of my legs, and thinking it was allergy from something, I bought myself Celestamine for the allergy. Celestamine is an anti-allergic medicine. However, this med will surely keep you drowsy. A few hours after I had the pill, the itch and the blotches were gone, leaving my legs some map-kind of red leftover from my scratches. And so i was happy. The following day, I had been watching my diet and the foods I eat, thinking the allergy came from the santol I had(though I ate none of it again), the blotches were again visible in my legs. This time, it spread through my arms, and my hands. I felt very itchy that I could only cry my e

Famous Cultural Landmark in Surallah, South Cotabato

We went to Lake Sebu last Saturday to celebrate my brother's 16th birthday, and while on our way to witness the majestic falls, we were already planning to drop by Surallah to check out their most famous cultural landmark, the round ball. I do not really know how it was named the Round Ball since it seems so redundant to be called as such but to question it, honestly, won't give you much intelligent answer as we also have round balls in Koronadal City and General Gantos City. Actually a rotunda, but ever since has been called the Round Ball. Unveiled last March 15, 2011, it’s towering, obelisk-like central piece of a 2-string lute points straight to heaven , silhouetted by the blue sky at more than 60 feet above the ground. Called he’galong by indigenous T’bolis, the slim lute seemingly grows from the core of a huge, endemic , bulb plant bohong, the elongated leaves of which spread out in radial fashion .

The First Ever Traditional B'laan Wedding Ritual I Witnessed

Image
It was a beautiful Saturday morning when we visited Kinilis, in Polomolok. I was with Nanards and two visiting friends from Davao City, Emi, and her American husband, Joshua. They wanted to go see the kafe balos because it has been very famous now, and they wanted to invest into the business. Sir Fred mentioned there was a tribal wedding that very day so it was a fortunate day for us to witness something different, a customary tribal wedding rite. We went inside the house for they explained to us that the traditional B'laan wedding is being held inside the house of the bride where the couple has to sit on a mat and surrounded by relatives and witnesses. The bride was very beautiful that day, she was adorned with T'nalak inspired accessories, and her hair was placed with a beautiful headdress made of brass. Her hips was surrounded by a brass belt where hundreds of small bells were making noise each time she moves. And she was fully clothed in a colorful B'laan attire, and s
