Your manager, your boss and any superior you have.

Most of the time these people are overseeing the things that you are doing. they sometimes also care for your personal life. Some of them might good and some of course are not. Some really care to their job and some are just there to work.

I learned so many things in dealing with different superior. in the beggining as we do not know them yet lets try to do the right things, the standard and little by little understand their personality and do things the way they wanted.

I remember my boss in the restaurant where I worked as a service crew. She is really good to the guest, but for the employee he is really strict as she is not approachable. But as time passed by i learned how to deal with him, I do things right, the standard. I become a yes mam to her. til tyhe time comes and she likes me. and i got a promotion and another one and so on. and i can talk to her nicely.

And that is what i have said to the other collegue, at least do the standard when she's there. be nice at least with her.
maybe you'll become really nice.

very important. NEVER ARGUE WITH YOUR SUPERIOR. maybe you are right but keep it with your self. find the correct time to explain your point. not on the time that he or she is mad.

On my way to Dubai


Two years ago.



I just finished my work and and when I am on my way to go home i recieved a message from somebody. It says they want me to come for a initial interview. I was surprised coz it was already 1 year since I submit applications for overseas job. So I was thinking that it maybe some kind of scam and i have doubt about it. But then I decided to go coz this one might be real. Coz really I am not happy anymore in my job, doing things the same everyday made me think of leaving the company.



So I came for the interview. There are lot of people in along queue of the parking area of the building. Some people are looked familiar so I decide to talk with them. And they said they got the same message. And i learned that the people from this recruitment agency are the same people where I submitted my papers a year ago. they just leave the old company and move to another one. Well these people has agood reputation coz in their previous presentation from the old company they deploy a lot of people abroad and some of these people are friends of friends, we know etc etc.



In there they just gave us some advices on how tos, grooming etc. and schedule of final interview with the GMs of this company.



I was pretty excited and nervous on the interview day coz that will be the first time i am going to talk to a foreigner. Anyway I did my best to comes out the real me and tried very hard to be confident on the interview. I know i ddnt deliver my english properly, as i said this is the first time that i really need to speak in english. anyway i felt that i satesfied the GMs after the interview, it was 3 interview actually. the GM, The HR manager and the Chef. I have smile on face when i left the building.



On the way i talked to other how was the interview and they said they don't feel good about it. so its different feeling. I really felt that i have the chance.



For less than a month they said they will call or email us if we passed the interview and give us detail on how to get the job. I am not hoping to get it just for me not to be dissapointed. I go to work as normal, tried to be happy, joking etc. And yes after a month I got a call and they are asking me to come to the recruitment agency to sign the contract. And yes i read all the details, Ill be working as a legumier ina Golf club in the dubai. I searched it in the internet and get excited about it. And this is the good news , There is no placement fee or salary deductions or any form of payment to the agency, all I need to do are give them all the documents needed and of course I need to go on in a medical check up at my own expense. and thats all. Done it all and I just wait for the visa. I was worried coz the promise to leave the country was always move to another date, cancelled etc. I talk to other guys who also got the job and the same as me worried also. But things gose well after they booked us for a plane wherein all of us 40 people are leaving at the same time and will go to dubai.



The day before the flight we had a despidida party wherein we bring our own food and we share it. In there we get to know each other and most of us will fly for the first time.



On the airport. I was very excited , like our flight is 7 am but I am already there at 11 pm. i observed the people and its like that I saw people crying, parents and their children, grand parents, love ones. It was a very sad moment for them. But its another hope for others.




That was my first time in the airplane, i just hate the feeling when i cannot hear, like a deaf and cannot hear sounds when the plane is moving up or down very fast. I realized that it was normal and the others feel the same.




Welcome to Dubai international airport. Finally were in Dubai. It was good a lot of people, different nationalities, i noticed that most of the employees of the airport are Filipinos. Oh they is how they need us.


We meet the Golf club staff and gave us a welcome smile. it feels really good to welcome that way. They are very welcoming. when i was on the plane I was worried that our employer might be not good. But then The company is good.

We reached the staff acommodation. and we are surprised because its one nice building.


So far I have been working here in Dubai. I would say this company is the best. http://www.fourseasons.com/

Love...

Yea yea yea.. everybody fall in love.... but why like this. why there is an end for this love? and why someone need to suffer for this love. WHY?........................................................................................................................................................



Maybe you'll say.. She's not the right one for you. You'll find someone better.

Yea we are coming to that but what I am saying is the pain. The pain left after leaving of the one you love.Its okay if you don't love each other anymore maybe there is no pain after the split... But this time you still love her and she does'nt love you anymore. What do you think you're gonna do? Insist her to stay. tell her to give one more chance? Be amartyr? It's a difficult situation.. it feels like no more chance for a living. what for?. This is the time someone thinking negatively. That's why he need someone to guide him to the right way.

Broken hearted people ussually tends to be alone and this is the time a friend should be there at all times. A friend can help to heal the wound of a broken hearted one.

Finding New Job.

Nowadays as too many company are laying off a lot of people because of economic crisis. It seems that finding a new Job is quit not easy. But of course it defends coz there are companies who are still working very well and not affected by the current recession. So therfore they have a lot of choices of choosing the best possible employee.

In my case... The management of my company is about to leave. And it put as in trouble as we don't know what will happened to us. There are speculation that we might be absurb by the new management but in a lesser salary than what we get from my current company. Because of this some of us decide to resign and some are looked for a new job.

Because of this our GM gave us an options. 1. Resign and go back to origin country. 2. Resign and stay in this country and find a new Job. 3 Stay with the new management. The good thing is our GM endorse us for a possible job in a three Hotel who are in need of a new employees for their upcoming project.

We have a great time in our current company. They treat us good that make us proud being a part of it. If therse no crisis in other regions possibilities are we might be transfer to other properties.

God Bless Us.

Tinatamad

I don't know but most of the time I am lazy to do things. I felt that its better to stay on bed or watch TV or Just surf on the net.

Wala lang parang tulad nong mga nakaraang araw na hindi ako nakakapag post dito. Sabi ko ah bukas na lang ako mag po post hangang sa lumipas ang isang araw, dalawa, tatlo, apat, lima, anim, pito hanggang sa ewan ko kung ilang araw na. Nakakahinayang yon mga araw na yon kung saan marami rami na rin sana akong nakwento at kahit kunti e may nalaman kayong impormayon kahit na mababaw or korny.
Pero ganon naman talaga hindi ba. dahil hawak natin ang oras natin e wala tayong disiplina na gawin kung ano ang dapat. walang kontrol kung ano ang mga di dapat na gawin.

Anyway.. These is our life. We have the will to do things na gusto natin. Dapat nga lang natin isipin that there are consequences and rewards sa mga bagay na ginawa natin.
