wow! what a year! let me recall the what happened to me last year:
1. Last April I finally transferred to a better company.
2. Transferred to Sharjah from Dubai.
3. Amor went back home for good.
4. I became another year older.
5. Spent my third Christmas and New Year far from home. This was really frustrating.
6. Became a member of Filipino Christian Community of Dubai. I am now able to feed my spiritual hunger of Him.
what else? so far, so good. God had been very kind to me last year. He had always been very merciful and I can't thank Him enough for His greatness.
of course I still have struggles but they are more controllable now.
Last week, during the bad weather, I was able to spend time with Joseph's mom. She barely speaks English but we were able to understand each other. Such a wonderful woman. Sadly, she had the same fate of my mother with regards to her husband. How I loathe mistresses. The worst part of it is that they are all Filipinas. Auntie said she hates all Filipinas except me. I can understand where she's coming from. Nowadays, Filipinas here truly lost their sense of value just for money. Of course not all, I hope.
Suprisingly enough, I was even able to meet one of her husband's girlfriend over dinner with Joseph last year. It was an unexpected thing and my God was she a lunatic.
Julie, Joseph's sister asked me why do I think Filipinas do this. She did not want to degrade any nationality because there are also Lebanese wh-res around but our women are --- i don't how else to describe them. "Can poverty be the only reason or also because a lot of Filipino men are baklas" These are the very words of a foreigner.
How sad. This is already a social issue. Filipinas here do not only excel in their work but some also excel in another area. So you cannot blame foreigners here when they stop their car while you are walking on a street and offer you money or their mobile number. Just continue on walking as if you did not see or hear a thing.
Can't beat them, Ignore them.
Anyweis, so much for ranting.
Let's be hopeful for yet another great year ahead. Let's just do our best and Almighty Father will do the rest for us.
Family, Friends, Career, Love and Money -- may everybody who read my entry be successful in all these areas in 2008!!!
Salam!
7. ahh! i forgot! it was also the year I started to love DBSK!
