Mubazzarah Park 2019

I think it was six years ago when I stepped on this famous place in Al Ain City for the first time. The place back then was astonishing and surrounded by natural environment scenery.Until now, this place never disappoints me.On our way, it welcomes the tourist a wide land covered by green grasses and surrounded by tall rocky mountains. The cold weather will also makes you feel as if your are wandering in a different places that are full of hope and wonder. 

Hope, because it could help to de-stress from this world that is full of tension and anxiety. It actually made me relaxed and regain more energy that I needed to survive the difficulties in life.

Wonder, because life is good and it reminds me that  God is good and loving.

Thank you God for this day ( December 27, 2019)

My 31st Birthday

 I was born April 1,1987 in Malolos Bulacan, a province located two hours drive away from Manila. Now, I am celebrating my thirty one years of existence on Earth.  I am really grateful for the extension of life that God has provided me. I have been through a lot and I am always praying to Him to give me more time here on Earth with a good health and strong body so I can  still do my part  for my family and loved-ones.

My husband was asking me this morning about my wish for  my birthday. Actually, I am not used of making wishes during my birthday but I pray hard. Now that I am 31 years old I pray to God that he grant me a healthy and strong body and solution to all my financial problems. I want to have a peace of mind and be free from all the financial debts. I am hoping that one day I will wake up  without any worries about them.
Forgiveness is also one thing that I asked. I do not want to bury hatred in my heart so I pray that someday all my heartaches and resentment be forgotten and nobody will remind me of them.

I was not able to attend the mass but I told myself that I will just express my gratitude through writing and just doing good things during this month.

The night of my birthday was so sad I felt homesick and the desire to be with my husband and family was just so bad. It made me cry.
Anyway, I hope to celebrate my birthday with my husband next time and feed 32 orphans or street children in the Philippines.

Dear God,

Thank you for allowing me to live 31 years here on Earth, please give me more life and strong body and mind. My family and husband still need me. I love them so much. Please take away all my sorrows and financial debts. I am hoping one day that I will  always be happy even though problems comes my way.

Thank you for all the blessings and forgive me for I am a sinner. Show me the right path and guide me and family and loved ones.

Protect us from any harm and gives us a healthy body and mind.

I love you and sorry.

Amen.

How to Handle Difficult People..

Some of my friends were asking me on how  I handle toxic people in my life. The answer is actually simple, I just ignore  and don't speak at them. But of course,sad to say I cannot act like this everyday especially when these humans belong to the company where I am working at.

So what I basically do?

I usually remain calm whenever this type of person approaches me and starting to put pressure in my head. It maybe a little  hard to do particularly to someone you wish to drag out of your sight but trust me it works.

Second, I listen. Yes, I listen to them,because maybe they just need some who would lend ears at their summons and distress in life.

Third, they might be suffering from any psychiatric disorders and they need to displace so better not feed the troll. Engaging in a fight with them would just create big issues.

However,  if you think you have to stand up and speak starts with these words " You have a point there, but I think if we can...." and state your opinion.

Then,talk them in a nice way, if they are still rude to you always remember that it is them who have a problem not you. You got to stand for what is right.I experienced when my boss scolded me for a mistakes I did not make. Although, my knees are trembling I went to her again and talked at her politely and explained every single details. I stood for what I think was right and made myself clear of any fault because I knew at that moment that  nobody would defend me.

By the way, listen to a music or pray when difficult situation comes, it really helps.

Why Sometimes A No English Is A No! No!

              Have you ever experienced being discriminated because your English is not good? Did you ever received humiliations and ridicule comments from people who think their better than you? Have you ever been rejected by a company because your grammar was not okay? Well,I guess just like me some of you out there had encountered these.

              I maybe sound bitter but it really annoys me when like this happens and makes me more frustrate when people connects the level of someone's intellect to his capacity in understanding and speaking the English language. 

             Nevertheless, I am  not against to those who can speak well and use it. As a matter of fact, I am amazed with you guys most especially for those who knows more than one language. I have just come to realized that perhaps it is about time that I focus on developing my skill in communicating to others using English.

             Why I have to do this? 

            First, as an overseas worker you frequently talk to other nationalities, although some of them pronounce words incorrectly it is still a must that you use the right words and assert them correctly. In this way, you could practice and the other party can also gained from you.

            Second, I do not want to be ridiculed again. Its about time that I show confidence and deliver my sentiments in a clear manner. 

            Third, I know it can help me to move further in my career. I have been rejected by  some companies because most of them were own by natives and this was one of the requirements they were looking for their employees at that time. I believe aside from dedication and perseverance this skill could also lead me up.

            Reading books and watching Hollywood movies as well as news are helping me now.  Apart from it, I am beginning to write blogs again about happenings in my daily life. With continuous practice I know someday I will be better and no more no English from my side.
