Surprised with the greetings...

A week before my birthday I decided not to show my birthday on my Facebook profile so that no one will greet me on my birthday. Well as my family remembered my birthday they called me all the way from the Philippines just to greet me a happy birthday.
So..on my birthday I went to work normal. I went to locker room to change and cool no one is greeting me, I went o cafeteria for breakfast and yea I am safe from the greetings. but then when I get inside the main kitchen The culinary coordinator see me and greeted me. I told her quiet don't shout... I say thank you then I go to my kitchen.. work work work.. later on these people are keep on greeting me even those people i thought doesn't know me like Helen, helen is a Chinese lady Spanish looks and beautiful. she greeted me and I was smiling and my heart is laughing coz of that. Thank you helen.
When I get home I checked my facebook and i WAS SURPRISED I have a lot of messages and keep on counting while saying thank you to them.. and when I woke up in the morning still i got this HAPPY BIRTHDAY messages. I am really really happy because of this. I went to work still some people are greeting and then when I get home still I got a lot of facebook happy birthday greetings. Thanks you very much Guys. I appreciated.

I do not want to grow old, i do not want to be ask how old I am... these are the reason why i do not want people to remember my birthday.. I know i should be thankful for what, who and how old I am now.... But sometimes this way makes a GOOD LIFE.

June 7 is my birthday

Just 1 hour more and my birthday is coming. But then my age will always be the same. LOL. Whenever someone ask me how old I am I told them 20? And I smile and they do not believe and because of this I also forget how old I am and i need to compute since the day I was born.
And you know what.. I removed my birthday in facebook... I don't wanna be greeted and ask how old I am and for sure my housemate they will ask for a celebration or a treat and maybe a party... I do not have money for that.
I do not understand why sometimes I do not want to much attention...

Backpacking.

I love to travel the problem is I do not have money to support it. So far Thailand is the first country that i used to go for backpacking. It was an adventure for me because I never make any research about Thailand. What I know are only the basic that Filipinos do not need visa to go there. And the value of there money is almost similar for what we have in the Philippines. That is why I am courageous to go there.
I spend 409USD two way plane ticket Dubai-Bangkok promo of OmanAir, and my pocket money is around 545USD and I ddnt finished it all. I stay in Thailand for 15 days, different hotel and guest house, i enjoy everything except shopping coz I was worried to run out of money and to carry too much things is i dont like.
And now again I am planning to go somewhere in asia, maybe in my country, maybe Nepal or Hongkong or Egypt. But now I am starting to do research so that I will satisfy for what I really want. In Nepal I heard there are lots of mountain and good to backpack these mountain. What egypt has to offer? Pyramid? anyway I want to see it.

What is going on in Palestine?

This morning I found this picture in the Newspaper....
And it touch my heart.

Force Vacation

Force vacation is common in the middle east specially if you are working in the hospitality industry. This is because of summer or we called off peak season. Usually hospitality industry in middle east is not busy during this season.
During this times most company are sending some of their employee for a month or so vacation. usually occur in the month of may, June, July, to august and when September its very rare that a company sends their employee for vacation because this start the busy days and Ramadan.

Because of this I am now searching for a possible place to go for my vacation. Last year I went to Thailand and maybe next time is Singapore since its easy for a Filipino to get there. I want to go somewhere in Europe coz the ticket from Dubai is affordable but my problem is I heard its quit difficult to get a tourist visa specially for me. I checked for the requirements and its too much . Bank accounts, insurance etc etc. and I do not have those things. How can I possibly go to Europe?
Anyway I am still hoping.
There are some countries in US, Europe which no need visa for Filipino but the ticket is expensive coz there is no direct flight to go there.
Well maybe Ill just go somewhere in Asia or better I go to Philippines to see my family even though the ticket is expensive.

Perfect day. almost

Almost perfect. I woke up nicely at 7 am, I fold my clothes, I change my bed sheet, I prepare my self to go to work. I had a nice sit on the bus, I fell sleep and suddenly woke up because the bus tire get flat. One of the staff help the driver to fix it then we reach the hotel for almost 1 hour which is sopposed to be 30 minutes only.
Today is my first day in this kitchen, I move here coz the othey chef was terminated and they need someone to replace them. The menu is easy and I think it will be easy for me to do it. After almost 8 hour we finished and we go.
When I come home my friend is cooking nice food and we eat.
Now I am sitting here, doing this while watching TV,
LIFE IS EASY today.

First taste of STARBUCKS

After more than 10 years of tempting to drink Starbucks coffee finally I did it last night, 11 pm, May 21 2010 Dubai.
When I was in manila I was always curious to know and taste at least one of their so called COZY coffee in manila. As we all know Starbucks is very popular in the world, and because of that coffee in here was expensive for me. Because of this I never tried to look and check how much is it really. Based on what I have heard from others its around P100.oo the small cup where in I can drink coffee outside for only P5.oo to P20.oo the nice one. Starbucks coffee is all over the street of manila specially in the part makati and ortigas center. how you will not temp to go sit, relax drink coffee and enjoy the view. A lot of nice looking people are sitting there like promulgating we are here...some are just trying hard drinking one coffee for almost 1 hour..lol.. yes there are some people like that. people have this in mind that if you are there having a coffee they will think you're cozy.
Just because i found it expensive i am just practical not to go there. But last night it was good..My First Time In Starbucks. Well The coffee is good I do not know how they do that... i hope I can do the same in the house...i drink coffee and cinnamon. its not expensive here just okay but if you convert to peso very expensive.
to experience these things makes THE GOOD LIFE.
