New room mate.


Because I am living in a company accommodation we do not have much control on the people that we are going to live with. I live in a shared room with four people.

When we are new in this company, the four of us, my friends decided and insist to the staff housing manager to stay together because we knew each other and we are the same nationality and the same religion. We are happy, we make noise we enjoy life. As much as possible we do not want to have any other nationality to be in our room because it will lost our freedom to do things that we used to do.

But of course its not always possible that we can stay always together. One of my friend decided to work in Cruise ship because he thinks he can save  and get more money by working in a cruise ship. Now he resigned. We tried to find someone we know that can be our new room mate but we are late because the day after my friend left the new european guy arrive. This guy from europe is 19 years old and I think he is not matured enough to live far away from his parents, there are time we see him crying in front of the web cam, he speaks so loud, and one thing I noticed he did't take a good bath. This guy he resigned and went back to europe because he missed his girlfriend and family.

Then we have our friend transffered  in our room.

In the past few days we have a problem because two of our friends got a promotion and they are required to move in a single room, a not sharing room. It means that two beds are going to be vacant and for sure new guys are coming to fill those bed. We ask one of our friend to move to our room and he did but then there is one more bed vacant. We didn't find anymore because our other friends are on vacation and the others are not allowed because there is a limit of how many times a staff can move to another room.

And so today when we arrived to our room there is a new guy next to my bed. He is sleeping this time so we do not know him. He looks like arabic maybe coming from Syria, Morrocco, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, we do not know.
If he is Arabic, 99%  he is a muslem. It means we cannot cook any pork meat in our apartment.

I just hope there will be no problem or any conflict  will occur during the time we are living in the same room.
I hope this guy do not smoke.
I hope this guy is not stinky.
I hope this guy is a good guy.

The World's Rudest Nations for Travelers


According to skyscanner.com survey from its users, France and some countries in europe are the rudest place for traveler in the world. These include Russia and UK. They say that people here are particularly not friendly and never smile.

The other reason they say is the languages that comes to the travelers are not so polite. this is because counties like Russia where english is not a first languages and when they speak english is not so polite.

Countries likes Philippines, Brazil and Carebbians are last on the list.

How to re-install Windows 7

It comes to a point that my Toshiba is working very slowly, that I can make a cup of coffee, go to pee before it awitch on. Because of this I decided to make my computer like new again by re-installing my windows 7 64 bit.

It takes time for me to figure out how to install windows 7 on my Toshiba Satellite L 505. I searched on the net on how to do those re-installing, each brand of computer has their own way of re-installing windows on their computer.

Normally you just need to insert the Windows CD and run it and the rest are follow the instructions. But with Toshiba their way is different and I have it here.

Good thing I still have the manuals and from there I read and follow the instructions. When we first use our Toshiba we ask to make a recovery CD and I did that.

Here is how to re-install Windows 7

1. Insert the first recovery CD that you made into the drive. ( for me, I have 2 CD) and shutdown the computer.
2. Turn on your computer while keeping the F12 key pressed to open the setup menu.
3. Use the cursor keys to select the optical disk drive (CD/DVD drives) on the menu.
4. Follow the instruction that are appearing on the screen.
5. Within 30 minutes your Toshiba is like new again.


When I bought my Toshiba it comes with pre-installed 64 bit windows 7 and it has no CD of it.
It also comes with a recovery CD of 32 bit windows 7.
64 bit windows 7 can perform a lot better than 32 bit specially in multitasking proccess like when you are running a lot of applications at the same time.

I don't need a car

Isn't its nice that I am just sitting here inside this bus going to work, relaxing and enjoying the view of the big highway of Sheik Sayed road.

I do not need a car.

This is one of the benefits of working here in the middle east, most of the company are providing a transportation. You'll just need to catch the bus and you have nothing to worry of coming late.

Working without saving

There are lots of people who are spending more than what they are earning. And to tell you honestly I was once one of them.

It is very difficult to live having the salary that is just enough to support yourself or your family for the whole month. It means that you have no freedom to buy another thing.

Then those people who have more salary are sometimes do not have controls with their spending. They are telling that they cannot please themselves but to buy new stuffs.

In my case, now that I have those things I think that are essential, I started to save and I feel good about it. When I started to work abroad it gives me freedom to buy the things that I want. Laptop, smartphone,guitar, electronic keyboard, etc. now that I have those, I have nothing else to buy therefore my salary are now going directly to the bank.

Filipino Talent

I love music,  more than that I love talents and the most I like the people who are not afraid to show their talents. To be honest, because I am a shy person I am envy of those people who are not so good looking but are beleieving with their talents.

Me, being Filipino makes me feel good that there are so many Filipino's I mean Half Filipinos are making it big to the International music, movies, sports scene. I know there are lot's of Filipinos who feel the same. If you notice to see a competetion like american Idol and we found that there is a contestant that is looks like asian or hispanic, Filipino people will try to check if he or she is a Filipino, and if they found that its a Filipino or has Filpino blood for sure they're  going  to share a link on their facebook for example.

Today I was watching american Idol, I learned that Jessica Sanchez one of the final 24 for this season of American Idol is half Filipino.

Here is the talents.
