My journey home started on 27 October 2004, I woke up 7:00AM or should I say I got out of bed on that time since I didn’t sleep at all. It was a pissed off day (I officially declared that), the company deducted SR 1,500 on my vacation allowance, I was expecting to receive [...]
It has been months since I’ve watch a news program from the Philippines. Our TFC (The Filipino Channel) connection in the camp was disconnected since we were not able to pay the monthly subscriber’s fee. The reason behind, super hirap maningil ng monthly share ng bawat room. Para kang naghahatak ng bayawak [...]
About 2 hours from now, the plane that is supposed to bring me to Manila will arrive.
Two weeks ago, I’ve been wandering about what would be my first day in Manila. I would admit how I missed the savory taste of San Miguel beer. For 2 years I’ve been drinking home made drinks [...]
This days marks my 733th day here in Saudi Arabia. I am supposed to leave the Kingdom early morning (4:30 am GMT +5) today. But for just one wave of the “almighty’s” hand, my dreams crumbled.
Two months ago I submitted all the necessary documents to the company for “fast & easy” processing of [...]
His eyes are focused on a blank paper on top of his messy table.
That’s how he communicated to me. I am talking about the devil (our project coordinator), the cause of delay. The reason why I’m stuck here eventhough my contract has already expired.
I confronted him this morning, really, I was so pissed [...]

I said, “What? English please Bee.” [Bee was our terms of endearment.]
The she started to explain what the word means & where I can [...]
Dapat 6 days a week ang pasok ko. I mean we are oblige to work 8 hours a day 6 days a week. For some it would be hard to accomplish such work sked, even I am having a hard time keeping up with such a work schedule.
For 2 years I’ve been religiously [...]
Akala ko pa naman makakapahinga na ako sa mga last days ko dito sa Saudi. Damn! Para akong juice na inubos until the last drop.
It is exactly 4 days before I leave Saudi Arabia, pero tinambakan pa rin ako ng trabaho. Ewan ko ba naman, my replacement is as good as I [...]
Ang tsismis na siguro ang pinakamatandang libangan ng mga Pinoy. Maraming naidudulot ito sa atin, pwedeng pampalipas ng oras, pampakilig at kung ano pa man.
Kahapon kumalat sa e-mail namin sa kompanya ang isang “blind item”, sana nga sinabi na lang kung sino ung tinutukoy, napaka-obvious naman kasi. Nainis ako kasi hindi na healthy [...]
Last night we got hold of the film ‘40 days & 40 nights’, as part of our (almost) daily ritual, we would watch a film before we sleep, and we’re calling it as ‘last full show’. I’m not about to criticize the film based on it’s artistic presentation, wala naman akong karapatan e. [...]
