How to get a job in Korea? (For Filipinos)

How to get a job in Korea? (For Filipinos)

Note: DON'T EXPECT AN OFFICE OR A TEACHING JOB POSITION. These positions are reserved for those with high proficiency in Korean language and for teaching English, it is reserved for those who graduated Major in English with a Graduate Degree.

Nonetheless I will continue...

It's like this: ALL APPLICANTS WHO WANT TO WORK IN KOREA (MANUAL JOB) NEED TO PA

SS THE KLT (KOREAN LANGUAGE TEST FIRST) Once one passes the KLT, MOSTLY, can go there to work. After taking the KLT, Philippine Oversees Employment Administration (POEA) will submit the database of test-passers to Korea Hiring Department. Men would most probably get the job, as I heard 90-100%, you can go to Korea. POEA will also assist you with your work visa and plan ticket. REMEMBER: NO NEED FOR ANY AGENCIES. This is a Government to Government project (PHP-KR).

Now, when you are in Korea, in case you do not like the job, you can change it 3 times until you find what suits you best. Take note that MOST JOBS ARE IN MANUFACTURING COMPANIES. Jobs range from light to heavy. Some jobs can be heavy if you choose to work in companies that are related to construction but many a Filipinos were able to get light to moderate jobs such as assembling eye-glasses, assembling parts of computers, jobs related to making kimchi, and other jobs. Do not expect an office job anyway.

As said if you don't like your present job there, then you can go to labor department and tick the best job that suits you from job vacancies of other Companies. There are various options (Again, you can change job 3 times).

Now, I am thinking of the best way to assist Filipinos who want to go to KOREA to work. You have to all pass the KLT in order to get a decent job there. That is according to their law.

There's one big problem, there are only few KOREAN
LANGUAGE CENTERS in the Philippines that teach KOREAN LANGUAGE which is quite not easy to learn. Now I am thinking of the easiest way to bring you to Korea by PROVIDING A KOREAN LANGUAGE PROGRAM ACCREDITED BY TESDA.

You may all know that I bring Koreans to the Philippines for the longest time, now I am thinking of BRINGING FILIPINOS to KOREA.

I will keep you all updated. For now, I'm trying to collect necessary things in order for me to do it easier.

MEET THE CURRENT HEREDITARY PRINCE OF KOREA, PRINCE YI SEOK.

NEXT GOAL WHEN I COME BACK TO KOREA THIS WINTER:
MEET THE CURRENT HEREDITARY PRINCE OF KOREA, PRINCE YI SEOK.

He now lives in a Traditional Village in Jeonju, South Korea. I'll go there for sure next time I come to Korea THIS WINTER!

My message to Prince Yi Seok, your Highness, please GET READY, I shall be disturbing thy Highness' peace, with your benevolence and grace kindly prepare thy answers for I shall have a looooooooooot of queries. Your humble visitor will surely bring presents as a sign of my gratitude. Your Highness shall GRANT AN AUDIENCE WITH ME, OR ELSE.... I WILL BE SAD...

Journal: Seriously Speaking, How my life revolves as "KoPinoy"

Tracing back my roots, it has been said by our senior relatives on my Paternal side that my great-great grand father is a Korean. Perhaps this is one reason that I while I am a Filipino Citizen, I am also "Korean by heart" taking the fact that I have that little tinge of Korean blood in me, though I did not grow up in Korea. Incidentally, my life revolves with Koreans now, here in the Philippines and back there in Korea.

I literally shed tears when I first saw the Grand Palace where the Kings of Korea held power for almost 600 years! I couldn't describe what I felt but I'm sure that that was a mixture of happiness and a strange sense of Patriotism! Well it's nearly the feeling of being deeply touched and inspired by a story of a National Hero and suddenly a National song is played and the setting is the Country just survived a catastrophe, yeah, that sense of relief! I visited most museums in Korea and took copious notes about the Historical facts.

Perhaps I felt a sense of "going back to the roots" I felt like I was "home" when I came and first visited South, Korea almost 6 years ago. My heart was telling me something, "I AM IN KOREA." I never dreamed of being in Korea on the first place, but fate made me easily come there and live my current life surrounded by everything Korean although notably, I have never been a fan of KPOP. I am indeed however, a fan of the History, Culture and Traditions of Korea.

Now supplement my love of History and Nationalism, I found out that there are living descendants of the late Joseon Dynasty, and one for sure is PRINCE YI SEOK who after his grand father, EMPEROR GOJONG was deposed by the Japanese Government had to live a life of a commoner, and had to work all the dirty jobs to make ends meet and finally flee to U.S. later on. He was a war veteran as well who served the U.S. in the Vietnam war! When he was able to save enough money, he came back to Korea where he is now a professor of History in Jeonju University.

Now it's my time to pay homage to a living symbol of History and Continuity, a living person who in his veins the blood of the great Kings of Korea flows!

My insight on Filipinos' outrage in re: Lucy Liu's recent remarks.

#ProudToBePinoy? #ConfuciousWisdomIncluded
#My insight on Filipinos' outrage in re: L. Liu's recent remarks.

“... if I get really dark, I’ll start to look a little Filipino.”

Proud ba talaga tayong maging Pilipino o insecure lang ang marami? Defensive sa bawat hirit o jokes about the Filipinos?

Galit na galit kasi ang maraming Pinoy kapag may mga jokes o mga kumento na binibitiwan tungkol sa lahi natin lalo na nang ibang lahi, sinasadya man o hindi. Pero,

HINDI SA GALIT NAPAPAKITA ANG
PAGIGING PINOY. Explain natin....

Mapapakita mo yan kung magiging kang mabuti sa BAWAT GINAGAWA MO. Mag-aral ka, magtapos ka at maging marangal ang trabaho mo. Huwag kang mandadaya. Huwag kang magiging parasite. Mag-behave well ka. Huwag kang magiging drug-mule. Huwag kang mag TNT sa ibang bansa, kahit mahirap, "the end does not justify the means." Huwag kang gagawa ng bagay na kahiya hiya sa lahi mo.

Kung gusto mo at proud Pinoy ka talaga, TUMULONG KA SA BANSA MO, step 1: BE CONCERNED WITH NATIONAL ISSUES so you know what to do next for your Country. Are you aware of our own most immediate social concern? If no, then have yourself informed. If yes, then do something. You have to do something in your own little ways. Again, it is not by "hateful" comments you can raise the FILIPINO PRIDE, it is by your OWN GOOD CONTRIBUTIONS TO YOUR COUNTRY.

Try mo simple lang. Proud maging Pinoy? HAVE AN ADVOCACY, HAVE A CAUSE, OR EVEN SUPPORT AN ADVOCACY. REPRESENT YOUR COUNTRY WITH A GOOD FACE AND A WELL MANNERED BEHAVIOR. Magbasa ka ng buhay ng mga Bayani natin, tignan mo paano maging isang Pilipinong may saysay sa bayan. Basahin mo yung mga taong nagkaruon ng silbi sa bayan, yung life and works nila, tapos apply mo sa buhay mo.

Hindi nakukuha yang "Filipino pride" sa kung ano anong sentimyento. SA GAWA, IPAKITA MO SA GAWA. Saka mo palang masasabing "PROUD PINOY AKO."

The great Confucious once said: "What the superior man seeks is in himself; what the small man seeks is in others." This only clearly says that we must reflect on ourselves if we indeed do what is right, contribute to the greater good rather than seeking faults from others.

SI PROFESSOR X, SI MABINI AT HANDICAPPED ASSISTANCE BILL

SI PROFESSOR X, SI MABINI AT HANDICAPPED ASSISTANCE BILL.

Minsan naisip ko, Si Professor X ng X-Men ginaya lang kay Apolinario Mabini e... Baka masyado lang akong Nationalistic, pero let's try to learn something from Mabini. Parehas na parehas, lumpo, naka-wheel chair, pero siya ang Utak sa Likod ng mga Katipunero at malaking bahagi sa kalayaan ng Pilipinas. Siya ang strategist ng mga katipunero, siya din ang nagtatala ng mga nagaganap sa bawat pag-kilos nila. X-men na X-men kasi talaga nuon ang mga katipunero, KAUNTI LANG SILA, NAIIBA SILA dahil sa paniniwala nila, at they renounced their membership sa Gobyerno ng Espanya, so X-Men nga talaga. Karamihan sa Pilipino nuon ay normal na sa kanila na sila ang MAGING DAYUHAN AT ALIPIN sa sarili nilang bayan. Marami din ang masaya na sa buhay-alipin sa ilalim ng mga "panginoong Espanyol (Land lords)."

Si Mabini, kahit siya lumpo, napa-tala siya sa kasaysayan at nahanay sa categorya ng mga DAKILANG BAYANI ng Pilipinas. Nagtuturo kasi ang buhay niya na sa kabila ng kakulangang lakas pisikal ay mayroon parin magiging silbi sa Bayan. Siya ay isang abugado, manunulat, at higit sa lahat ang pinaka-tampok sa kanyang contribusyon ay siya ang "NAGING UTAK NG KATIPUNAN."

Nawa'y maging inspirasyon si Mabini ng mga Pilipinong nagtataglay ng kapansanan na hindi hadlang ang kakulangang pisikal upang mga dakila.

So ano ang suggestion ko para dito? Aba edi "ASSISTANCE FOR COLLEGE HANDICAPPED STUDENTS BILL."
1. Dapat sa bawat Universidad sa Pilipinas ay magkakaruon ng mga espesyal na classroom sa first floor nagka-klase ang mga lumpo, o may kapansanan. (*Bakit college? Ibig sabihin kung nakarating sila ng College, ibig sabihin resilient talaga sila, so applicable sa kanila itong batas na ito, hindi tayo magsasayang ng Tax-payer's money)
2. Dapat mayroon din silang assistance, ibigay sa kanila yung 50,000,000 pesos/year na budget ng CyberCrime Law. Para ma-asistehan sila sa pag-aaral sa Kolehiyo at pagka-tapos nilang mag-aral, magkaruon sana ng open opportunity sa Gobyerno. Yung mga lumpo, pwedeng papag-aralin ng Abugasya o Education. Pagkat marami silang magagawa to inspire more people. Malaki ang magiging bahagi nila sa pag-linang ng susunod na Henerasyon. Hindi ba mas nakaka-inspire maka-kita ng mga lumpo o may kapamsanan na nagtagumpay? Against all odds ika nga.
3. Marami pang minor details, pero kapag may chance na maki-pag meeting ako sa isang mambabatas i po-propose ko at ma-sponsoran sana.

KUNG MAY MAGAGAWA, BAKIT HINDI, SAYANG NAMAN

Kung may magagawa, bakit hindi, sayang naman.

#MinsanNaisipKo

Minsan naisip sumagi din sa isip ko na mangibang-bayan at iwanan na ang Pilipinas, mag-migrate sa Bansang maunlad pero sayang naman ang pagiging Pilipino kung i-rerenounce ko. Yung lakas ko, yung passion ko, yung talento, kung may magagawa pa ako dito, sayang naman... Naisip ko, kahit paano, mas masarap parin sa Pilipinas kahit mas maunlad ang ibang Bansa, bakit? E kasi ito ang tahanan ko e..

Pwede namang magtrabaho ang isang Pilipino sa ibang bansa, pwedeng tumira duon, WAG LANG NINYONG KALILIMUTAN NA PILIPINO KAYO. Proud kami sa mga OFW at sa mga IMIGRANTE NA NI MINSAN SA BUHAY NILA, DI NALIMUTAN AT DI KINAHIYA ANG PAGIGING PILIPINO. Tumatanaw nga, 'ika ni Rizal.

SETTING THE RECORD STRAIGHT.

To set the record straight.
1. I am concerned about the LIBEL CLAUSE (Section 4 of RA10175) and "TAKE DOWN" power of the DOJ (Section 19 of RA10175).
2. Cybercrime Law is helpful to prevent many possible human-right violations and breach of Privacy. The Cybercrime law could have been good enough without the "insertions".
3. I want to tackle Section 4 primarily with Sen. Sotto because he allegedly "inserted" the said clause.
4. I am solo, no group no nothing backing me up, I am human, I am just a humble blogger. I speak primarily for FREEDOM OF SPEECH (vs. Section 4). 

Isang Adhikaing Maka-Pilipino. Kalayaan atbp.

ISANG ADHIKAIN MAKA-PILIPINO.
jay robert Oct.5,2012.

Maraming salamat po sa inyong lahat. Ang inyong suporta ay halos hindi pumasok ni sa aking hamak na hinuha. Sa Twitter, sa Facebook at sa mga iba pang Routes of Communication naruon at naka-share ang ating panawagan. Tila hindi hihinto ang mga Netizens sa pagtulong hanggang hindi tayo naririning, o hanggat hindi nagkakaruon ng pagbabago. Hindi po tayo uurong, wala sa bukabularyo ng isang TUNAY NA PILIPINO ang umuurong. Mula pa kay Lapu Lapu, kay Rizal, Bonifacio at sa lumpong si Mabini mahuhugot natin ang isang adhikain maka-Pilipino. Walang hadlang, balakid o pananakot at makapipigil. Laban kung laban para sa kalayaan. Sabi nga sa atin sa Elemtarya, ang Pilipino ay may dugong MAHARLIKA at itong duong ito ang nananalaytay sa ating lahat. Tayo ay hindi ipinanganak upang apihin o abusuhin. Mahirap man ang marami sa atin ngunit hindi tayo pinalaki ng ating mga magulang upang apihin lamang ninoman. Tayo ay inaruga at binigyan ng pagkakataong makilala ang buhay sa kabila ng kahirapan o kagipitan. Nabubuhay tayong masaya at payapa sa kabila ng pagdurusa. Ito ang dugong maharlika, mayroong pag-asa, mayroong tanaw sa hinaharap, ito ang PILIPINO.

Bakit tayo nagkakaruon ng isang "public outcry?" o sa tagalog ay nais kong sabihing isang "Malawakang panaghoy" (mass lamentation, in literal translation) Sapagkat ang Pilipino ay hindi ignorante, ang Pilipino ngayon ay marunong na. Hindi na madadala pa ng matatamis na salita o sa salitang kalye ay "hindi na mabobola pa" Ang Pilipino ay marunong na. Ito yata ang hindi naramdaman ng ilang sa mga lider natin.

Ayon nga sa FORBES,"Once again we see a mix of ignorance to technology and the desire to exert further control over a population. Neither is pretty, and neither has any place in a good government." Narito, mula sa pang-unawang banyaga, ang probisyon na nasusulat sa batas na bagong likya ay walang lugar sa Gobyerno na kaaya-aya. Nabanggit din na mayroong bahid ng pagnanais ng labis sa hustong kontrol sa mga tao ang intensyon ng iilan sa mga probisyong tinatalakay.

Gulo ba ang hanap ng mga Netizens? Hindi gulo ang hanap natin, ang hanap natin ay una, ang KALAYAAN at pangalawa, MAIPALIWANAG ng husto ang batas na ito, at kung sadyang mayroong dapat baguhin, sa debateng iyon, duon niya ipaliwanag ang pagbabago na sinasabi niya. Mahirap kasi kung sasabihing mayroon siyang babaguhin, ngunit gigising nanaman tayo, isang araw, hindi nanaman natin alam kung ano ang mga nasa-saloob noon. Inaral ko na ang bagong batas na ito, nabasa, dinibdib, cover to cover, maraming dapat baguhin. Sa ganitong pagkakataon ba na sa susunod ay mayroong bagong batas, dapat siguro ay magkaroon ng open forum o di kaya ay debate na ipapalabas sa telebisyon o di kaya ay live-stream sa internet. Lalo na at kontrobesyal or maselang batas. Mahirap kung darating ang araw na kung saan ay gigising ang Pilipino, o ang mga magiging anak ng henerasyon ngayon na wala na pala silang karapatan dahil unti-unti na itong nasikil ng mga taong nais kontrolin ang buong sambayanan. Nakatutuwa ang ipininakikitang suporta ng mga tao, nakatataba ng puso.

Muli, hindi tayo galit sa CYBERCRIMELAW, nalulungkot tayo, nagluluksa, nananaghoy dahil sa mga taong nagdagdag ng probisyon na kung saan masasabi nating "Self-serving" ang mga ito. Hindi kailan man dapat gumawa ng batas na kung saan masisiskil ang kalayaan magpahayag. Ito ay karapatan ng bawat tao. Mabuhay ang kabataang Pilipino! Mabuhay ang mga Netizens!
Sa mga hindi naniniwala at nag-babash, oo ako si Condor hero, ako si Jay Robert. Siguro sa pag-kakataong ito ang "Condor Hero" ay nagkatawang tao.

Para sa mga taong nais tayong siraan, kutyain o pagtawanan, ito lang ang masasabi ko: If you were born with a Silver spoon in your mouth, If you were born with English grammar books in your mouth, then let me tell you that I AM BORN WITH INNATE COURAGE, BRAVERY AND FAITH. If your silver spoons and Grammar can help UNITE the PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY and spear CHANGES FOR THE BETTER, then you're worth humiliating me and my Cause. Otherwise, suffer the wrath of my supporters!

Hindi po ako isang kathang isip lamang. At lalong hindi po ako aatras sa hamon ko para sa isang public debate kay Sen. Tito Sotto. Dapat live ito. Walang outline, walang coach, walang prompter. Isama ang buong bayan. Karapatan natin ito, sila ay mga lider at dapat silang magpaliwanag sa taong bayan at paunlakan ang imbistasyong ito.

Mabuhay ang mamamayang Pilipino! Mabuhay ang Kalayaan. Wala na nga sila Rizal, Bonifacio at Mabini, ngunit sa bawat Pilipino ay naruon ang kanilang adhikain, naruon ang tatak na iniwan nila. SA TIBAY AT LAKAS NG LOOB, NOON LUMAYA ANG PILIPINAS. HINDI NA TAYO BABALIK PA SA PANAHONG ANG PILIPINO AY ITURING NA INDIO O WALANG ALAM.

MGA KABATAAN, MAYROON TAYONG MAGAGAWA. MAYROON KANG MAGAGAWA, BAYANI ANG BAWAT PILIPINO. KUNG NABUBUHAY LANG SI RIZAL, TIYAK AKO, MASAYA SIYA DAHIL ANG KABATAAN AY HINDI PAPAYAG NA MASIKIL ANG KARAPATAN. Siya mismo ang nagsabi, ANG KABATAAN AY ANG PAG-ASA NG BAYAN. NAGAGANAP YAN NGAYON. Kung magsisikap tayo sa ating mga pangarap, magtutulungan at magkakaroon ng isang magandang pangarap para sa MAGANDANG BANSANG ito, mabubuhay muli ang Pilipinas at tataas muli ang tingin sa bawat Pilipino, saan man sa mundo.

Muli, mabuhay po kayong lahat!

Tues, Sept.25: My Day + IOS 6, Steve Jobs, and Yahoo

BEST FOOT FORWARD. The day was very long and HOT! I mean literally hot, like, 35 degrees up! Had to meet lots of people to talk to and mingle with on different locations and of course different topics! that means different coffees and different snacks! I only wished the best for me, no wonder im still awake till now with the mega doses of espresso I had, my next sleep will be by next century! Meeting other people isn't always the funniest thing on earth. It's sometimes stressful especially when you always have to put your best foot forward. It's only a bonus when you meet real good people. Let me tell you, It's damn tiring!

MEAN PEOPLE. Mean people will always be mean so deal with it. Today I've met a very difficult person who never listens but I had to contain myself to keep my composure well intact. They say, "it's not always how you fight but how you avoided it with a gentlemanly manner." Aaw! I think I did something good despite certain adversaries!

POOCH. I saw 2 beagles workin as police dogs in Shangrila and since I plan to get my new robbie-pooch, I highly consider getting a beagle! My mom told me that she too once had a beagle and it was loyally guarding my sister when she was still a baby. Golden retriever pup vs. Beaggie? I still have to decide cuz I once had a golden and he was like my bestfriend when I was younger, his name was Dwight. I might get a new one soon and i'll name him "MANGO."

APPLE IOS 6 UPGRADE. So im writing this using my iphone which got upgraded to IOS 6 a couple of days ago which terribly killed Google maps absolutely in favor of the new Apple maps which had me wonder why I now live under a bridge!

STEVE JOBS. I now miss the Genius of Steve Jobs. Perhaps if he is still alive, this major prob with Apple Maps couldn't have happened considering it's a major disappointed to countless Apple fans around the world I presume that trust level of Apple went notches lower. And ah! Samsung made good ties with google so let's see what Apple has to do, standing alone... I'm thinking whether Apple can maintain its performance and prestige in the years to come if they'll continue providing only recycled ideas from the late Steve. Iphone5 rather isn't shocking at all. Many people around me expressed that it fell short of their EXPECTATION from Apple Inc.

INSOMNIA. I can't sleep. Really. Help me. :( Is there any espresso neutralizer?

P.S. And Ah! sorry, Apple is with Yahoo, I just remembered. Have you checked yahoo messenger or yahoo mail lately? You might be interested with Archaeology! :p

(*First draft via iphone ;)

Buying a new Laptop? You gotta watch this first to help you decide...

 

Been searching for the best laptop for myself. I desperately want a new one, considering to get a Mac or a Windows notebook. Right now I am taking my time so that I won't regret with my choice later on. I found this video and I thought that it's good to share this to all of my readers who may be in the same plight. Very useful.

Britney on X-Factor. Is she mean or just brutally honest?

Yo guys! Britney's back to the mainstream. Many though she would not bounce back. Do you think she's mean or she's just honest here? What's in your mind?

There are things we just can't throw away.

Take a look inside your drawer. Now, examine the things inside. Check those you really need versus the things you don't need but you just can't throw. I bet you'll find more than half of em useless!

It's funny but i can attest for the truth of collecting useless items. There are just things in life we can't throw because of their sentimental values to us. It kay be a tissue paper that you used on your first date or anything which can remind you of someone or something special..

Otherwise, you're just plain lazy to clean your stuffed drawer! :p

I'll post this for a while and add some more about this topic when I wake up tomorrow.

Goodnight guys! ;)

The infamous "Sotonizing", allegedly...

I am very much disheartened, disappointed and even more disturbed with Senator Sotto's speech writer with the alleged plagiarism thrown to Sen. Sotto. They were paid very well to make speeches for the Senator but what they did was to copy-paste (perhaps even spent more time "facebooking" rather than focusing on making a meritable and genuine speech. Nevertheless, this falls into lack of responsibility of the one reading the speech. Before readi
ng a speech, or even claiming it as one's own, the reader must verify its contents whether its free of anomalies.

I also would want to suggest to ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS to PLEASE CREATE YOUR OWN GENUINE SPEECHES! For our Country's sake! How will you be able to create meaningful Laws and implement Order if you yourselves cannot even construct meaningful and genuine speeches? I am so disheartened that a SENATOR (technically called MEMBER OF THE UPPER HOUSE) cannot even make his speeches that would radiate genuinely in his mind.

I learn from Elementary to College, repeatedly that: EACH AND EVERYONE HAS DIFFERENT LINES OF THINKING AND AND MORE SO WITH CONSTRUCTING IDEAS. THE STYLE OF SPEAKING, WRITING AND THE NUANCES WHEN COMMUNICATING IN ANY FORM OF MEDIUM IS BUT UNIQUE AND THEREFORE CANNOT BE DONE BY ANYONE AS EXACTLY AS IT IS SIMULTANEOUSLY.

In the case of Sen. Sotto's alleged plagiarism, I think he deserves this hullabaloo. WELL-DESERVED. I am saying "alleged" because we may not know the complete real facts without conducting scientific research and make these out of this. Nevertheless, based from comparison of his speeches and the blogs presented, this is therefore a MAJOR Earthquake in his career with a magnitude of 10.0+ and with aftershocks that would be expected even beyond his lifetime.

We all learned in BASIC EDUCATION the basics of conduct. Taking FULL merit for the works of others as if it's completely created and owned by oneself is nothing but ABSOLUTELY WRONG.

I can imagine how competent Sen. Sotto is. How can we blame people creating the word synonymous with "copying-translating" to "Sotonizing?"

I can imagine how Senators of other countries might have expressed regarding this issue.

Difference between CAN and CANNOT

There are only 3 letters that differentiate CAN from CANNOT, however these 3 letters, in its absence or presence, will extremely participate & determine how your life will be.

In my own humble opinion, always choose CAN, because it will enable you to explore possibilities that CAN still unravel.

If you choose CANNOT, then that's the end of it.

Philosophers often ask: "why is there something instead of nothing?"

Philosophers often ask: "why is there something instead of nothing?" Some of them dedicate their lives answering such a profound question, I refuse to answer because it's only God who knows...

What I can discuss is this topic, "why not do 'something' instead of doing nothing?" ;)

Isip ng isip ang tao kung bakit may mundo, bakit may tao, bakit ganito, bakit ganyan, ito ang tanong: BAKIT HINDI KA NALANG GUMAWA NG SOMETHING PRODUCTIVE, YUNG MAKAKATULONG SA EKONOMIYA AT SA IBA?

Life is like answering questions, sometimes the answers are just within the questions.

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!
1 Question answered:
BE PRACTICAL.

Para sa mga naging Teachers ko... I love my teachers!

Kahit hindi teachers' day ngayon, nagpapasalamat ako sa lahat ng mga naging teachers ko mula nuong casa, elementary at Kolehiyo (special mention yung sa mga sa elementary) kasi ang mga guro ko ang humubog sakin upang maging taong hindi sakit ng lipunan kundi isang mamamayang mayroon nililingong maganda sa nakaraan, tinatahak na makabuluhan sa kasalukuyan, at may maliwanag na tinatahaw sa hinaharap.

Napaka taas ng pagtingin ko sa mga guro, palibhasa, hindi karangyaan ang ninanais nila sa mundo kundi para sa kanila ang palamuti na mayroon sila ay yuong mga estudyante nila na nagtatagumpay at nagiging bahagi ng isang mas makabuluhang katotohanan sa lipunan.

Wala mang silang brilyante na ipag-mamalaki, mayroon naman silang mga katangi-tanging kontribyusyon sa lipunang ating ginagalawan, na sa tingin ko ay higit pa ang karangalan kaysa sa suot na brilyante na kumikinang pero wala namang saysay sa mas nakararami.

Kapag ang isang guro ay matanda na, at Dumarating ang takipsilim ng buhay na naging makabuluhan, mayroon siyang masasabi sa sarili niya: "marami akong mabubuting maiiwan, mawawala man ako pero ang maiiwan ko ay patuloy na magiging bahagi ng kasalukuyan at hinaharap".

May bonus pa, yung mga anak nila may maipagmamalaki na "ang nanay ko ay isang mahusay na titser!"

Kaya kahit hindi teachers' day bigla ko lang naalala mga teachers ko nuon... Dahil ngayon na sunod-sunod ang tagumpay na mula sa awa at pag-ibig ng Dios, hindi mo maiiwasan na lumingon at pasalamatan ang mga ginawang mabubuting kasangkapan ng Dios para maging ikaw, ang Ikaw ngayon.

Maraming salamat po sa naging guro ko, MAHAL NA MAHAL KO KAYO, I may not be able to thank you all one by one but I extend my best wishes and prayers that you and your respective families be blessed with peace and serenity for being such good teachers to me and my fellow classmates!

I cannot be greater than any of my teachers, I can only be their student forever because no matter how high I may soar, no matter how far the success the good Lord showers me, the fact is still clear, I WAS, I AM your mere student.

God designed everything, HE gave me the best set of teachers in and out of School.

And thus, above all, all successes, fame and fortune come from the great God! And that all glories be upon Him!

Facebook Question: What's on your mind?

When I opened my facebook account, it showed (which anyway by default it shows), "what's on your mind?". Then I decided to write what's indeed on my mind right now.

Let me share: I noticed some people getting too negative, stressed or too affected by unreasonable worries; which in any sense, pointless to do so.

If you don't count your blessings or look on the positive side, there's clearly something wrong; that's called pessimism which is, first, bad for your faith, bad for your life, and bad for your health which will cause you ulcer, depression and even cancer... Nobody wants those.

There are lots of reasons to always count blessings, I believe it's even a duty to do so.
On the contrary, there can only be very minute reasons to expect for something negative. Law of Majority: POSITIVITY wins.

Goodnight everyone!

Madonna's Secret: 3 decades in the Limelight, and even more.

"don't take anything (said about you) personal..." -Madonna

...When asked in a recent interview on how she managed to be the biggest selling female artist of all time, selling over 300,000,000 albums worldwide and continuously stays on the limelight.

She pointed out further that she does not read anything about her to keep herself doing what she ought right. She managed to maintain being in the limelight for over 3 decades, without being derailed by people saying negatively about her.

Lesson learned: Mind your own business to keep you railed towards your goal.

Finance 101: Bank-run; Dollar Secrecy Law. SIMPLE CASH FLOW. Easy tounderstand, my dear Filipinos.

FINANCE 101: The reason why the Supreme Court to reiterate the protection of the SECRECY OF DOLLAR which the Senate respected so, for solely the benefit of the FILIPINO PEOPLE. One would ask, why and how?


It is arguable, and emotional ones would hit me with hates but let me try to educate you a little about Finance. Let me enumerate the possible causes IF DOLLAR ACCOUNTS details can be made accessible to the public:

Our banks might suffer from lack of CASH reserves thereby affecting the whole Economy of the Country. International Investors will lose their trust with the banks in the Philippines and from its Government if its that too easy to have DOLLAR BANK records made available to the public. Big-time foreign depositors might withdraw their dollar deposits from the Philippine banks and move to their money to a more secure place (e.g. Singapore and Switzerland) where the secrecy of their money is highly protected. We must understand that the Country needs money and we do not care where those money come from. We just simply need money--- all Countries actually do. Let's say, the family of the fallen Sadam Hussein still has hidden wealth and decided to deposit all their Billions of dollars in the Philippines, economically, that is a jackpot for the country! Again, we do not care where the money came from, any country just needs CASH, that's it.

The Process goes like this:



1. Investors/Depositors put their money in the Philippines (may be applicable to any Country) a.) To invest or open up businesses and b.) thinking that it is safe from overwhelming scrutiny from their own Governments. Big time investors are encouraged to deposit their money here whether they are angels or even devils.

2. The money goes to a Philippine bank.

3. The money is now in the bank. (but the same cash does not stay there forever, it's being used in other investments...)

4. The bank offers loans and financial assistance to smaller businesses and businessmen and not only that, they offer Housing and other types of loans, where they too earn income and able to generate other loans from bigger banks outside the Country, say HSBC, CITI or even from the world-bank. (of course the bank earns from the Loan fees and other duties paid by the loanee, plus the security of a collateral) One must understand that his or her money in the bank is not there in the bank's vault forever, it's being used for other purposes by the bank owners, this is the reason why they compensate you with minute interests in lieu of using your money for their various businesses.

5. Banks also offer loans to bigger businessmen who would make use of these money for more investments and cash replenishment needs.

6. HERE COMES JOBS... REMEMBER THAT BECAUSE BUSINESSMEN WERE ABLE TO SECURE LOANS FROM BANKS THEY WILL BE ABLE TO CREATE, SUSTAIN THEIR BUSINESS.

7. THOUSANDS OR MILLIONS AROUND THE COUNTRY WILL BE GIVEN JOBS... AND OF COURSE SALARY..

Let's look at this scenario:

1. The investors lose their confidence to the Philippine Government and its Banks because of lack of protection on secrecy.

2. Mass withdrawals happen from various banks in the Philippines, say from a certain major national bank, a big investor suddenly withdraws because of a certain Political, Judicial or security issue, the bank may must be able to provide the CASH to the depositor upon demand at least within a week. Hypothetically say 5 Tycoons decided to withdraw cash each at $7,000,000,000 (7 Billion US dollars Donald Trump money, or sort of...) That is $35,000,000,000 (35 Billion dollars) Alright this could post an economic disaster.... This kind of disaster must need a personal hand of the President of the Republic to lure these mega-businessmen/depositors not to go -- this is that serious!

Now remember that the money has been offered as loans to smaller businessmen --- the money is dispersed to the hands of smaller businessmen. Well, not just to them but to investments of bank owners such as highrise condominiums, land development, research, and etc.

Where will the bank get the money if ALL INVESTORS/DEPOSITORS withdraw?

DEMAND (of CASH) vs. SUPPLY (of CASH) where SUPPLY is insufficient.

Step 1: They will file for Bankruptcy and Central Bank will try its best to help. Central Bank will co-shoulder the burden of the Philippine banks...

Before bankruptcy is declared, STOCKHOLDERS of banks will panic and would also withdraw their shares, posing another disaster. Having said this, all other Corporations run or co-run by the owners of these banks will have bigger problems because of the STOCKHOLDERS withdrawing their shares as fast as they could to prevent their money evaporating in air.

Banks will not be able to sustain their business, they cannot provide loans anymore and other financial assistance to those starting, growing, or even big businesses that NEED CASH from loans in order to achieve maturity and independence. Owners and Stockholders and their investments too will suffer, Highrise condominiums will not be completed, land developments will be stopped, foundations supported will not be able to receive support and among others...



Who will lose in the end? THOUSANDS IF NOT MILLIONS of Filipinos will lose their job because of several businesses small, medium or large in scale will CLOSE.

It is my hope that I am able to impart some knowledge in finance to those who wanted to understand this very simple and basic information. Now one will understand why we need to protect the DOLLAR SECRECY LAW.

random thoughts

Bakit ka may mata? Para makakita.
Bibig para magsalita,
Tainga para makining,
Balat para makadama at iba pa.

Naiisip mo kung bakit may pusong tumitibok?
Una, Para mabuhay ka, at sa bawat tibok nito maaalala mo na ang puso mo ay dapat gamitin upang umunawa ng mga bagay na higit sa kaya ng iyong pagiisip..

Para duon sa mga di tagalog,
for those who speak English,

Why do you have eyes? For you to see
Mouth for your to be able to speak,
Ears for your to hear,
Skin for your to feel.

Have you ever thought why your heart beats?
One is, for your to live and second is for you to be constantly reminded that your heart must be used to understand things beyond what your mind can...

Picture? Wala akong mairelate eh hehe (I don't have any photo that I can relate this topic to.. hehe) That's why si Snoopy nalang... >.<

On struggles you may be facing...

 

Anonymous,
This new month reminds me of people who work with me everyday, and those who may be having difficult times in their life. I would want to inspire and remind you of how struggles can always be looked into a different perspective; the more positive perspective... Let me share you a beautiful saying:

"Sometimes, struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If we were to go through our life without any obstacles, we would be crippled. We would not be as strong as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance, leave no room for regrets." - Junethea Crystal Centeno

You have already surpassed great tribulations in life when actually you have not realized you done so! You were able to traverse extremely difficult times, but here you are, alive --- reading this post. You have proven the world that you are a strong person, but where did that strength come from? Let's ponder on a thought:

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength; a tremendous one.

The picture? I took it using my phone on my way to Subic Bay... It's just so lovely it reminded me that despite everything, I still am lucky to be able to be captured in awe with God's wonderful creations.

Happy night everyone!

Nurse Anesthetics: The power of Nurses...

I accompanied a korean student some 3 days ago to the hospital because he fell from the jeepney and had major scratches, a fact he hid from us for 2-3 days until he had fever, infection and untolerable pain. When we approached the E.R., Instead of feeling the pain, he got too concious he forgot about his painful agony, all he did was to make "pogi" points to the pretty nurse who attended to him!

Quick Lessons learned:
1. Beautiful nurses are very effective anesthetics.
2. Making "pogi" points reduces pain.
3. And most importantly, para wag magastusan, wag mahuhulog sa jeep, stop, look and listen dapat lagi.

Ps: kung mahulog man, pwede bang sabihin agad, hindi yung two days na at nilalagnat na saka palang sasabihin...

Life lesson: don't procrastinate. Kung may pain, may mali talaga, magpa check kaagad. Minsan dyan pa tayo napapahamak e yung parang "naku okay lang ito..." tapos pala malala na...

Business lesson: Injuries of whatever sorts minor or major may these be, must be remedied quickly. If in worst case a certain problem arose but already posing big damages, seek interventions and/or advisements from better-knowing individuals... Proper channeling of concerns is needed ASAP. There are things better dealt by those who know better than us.

Everything is okay now. Strong antibiotics did the trick.

Lesson galing kay Peter Pan (naalala ninyo? Channel 2 yata, Peter Pan,mga 3 pm yata ito pagkatapos ng Princess Sarah)

Si Peterpan ang turo niya kina wendy and brothers, isipin lang nila and feel from their hearts na makakalipad sila, makakalipad sila..

Nakalipad sila nag enjoy pa sila ng husto sa neverland.

Ang lesson sa peterpan: Impossible things can be possible as long as your mind and your heart think and feel the same. If your heart tells you that you wanna fly and your mind agrees, things will work out to make you fly... Fly high ika nga... Tignan mo si Henry Sy, si Gokongwei, si Oprah, si Rockefeller atbp... Diba lahat nagsimula lang naman sa pangarap ng puso na nilakipan ng matamang pag iisip... Ayan lumilipad sila, kahit saan bahagi ng mundo, para silang si peterpan and friends ..

Nakakainspire.

Good mornight!

Journey of a thousand miles....

A Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step - The Great Confucius

Success starts within you. Chances, opportunities and challenges are just there, it's just up to you whether you will grab these or not. People may tend to choose the safe and serene side most of the time, however, risks are part of the game. Without wise risk-taking, then there's no faith because of being defeated by the "fear" of the unknown. Faith conquers fear. Bravery pushes us to make the first step, the second step and eventually, to the beautiful life's Journey.

Hindi ba totoo na minsan, o sabihin na natin na madalas ay ang mga tao ay laging natatakot magsimula dahil natatakot sila na mabigo? Takot sa mga bagay na hindi pa naman nangyayari? Naalala ko nga ang sabi ni Nike, "Just do it!" Kasi kapag di ka nagsimula sa mga bagay na gusto mong gawin, mawawala yung momentum mo, pag nawala ang momentum mo, mauubos ang time mo, kapag naubos ang time mo, meron nang mga mas bata na deserving to take the chance na na-missed mo.  At the end of the day, sarili mo lamang ang sisisihin mo kung nawala ang mga bagay na gusto mong gawin.

Ang teoryang ito na mga pinagsasabi ko ay aplikable hindi lamang sa mga pangarap mong materyal sa buhay, pati na siguro sa pag-ibig. Kung halimbawa gusto mo ang isang tao, sabihin mo. Kasi kapag hindi, baka sa huli magsisisi ka. Lalo if occupied na siya, worst, kasal na. Wala ka nang magagawa nuon. Para bang negosyong pinalagpas mo tapos may ibang nag-hit, tapos nagsisisi ka kasi dapat ikaw iyon...

Sabi nga nang mga matatanda, laging nasa huli ang pagsisisi. Sabagay, life is a choice pero it's wise to choose the more exciting, more challenging and more productive road rather take the boring side. Pero at the top of it all, walang magdidikta sayo, hindi kahit mga magulang mo, kasi at the end of the day, gagawin mo din ang gusto mong gawin e, "JOURNEY" mo iyan... Nga lang be careful din not to do anything stupid, ika nga. Follow your guts, pero use your mind din.

Pag matanda ka na, at pipikit na mata mo kasi sabi nga nila "expired ka na" it doesn't matter how much money you earned in life, what will matter is what you can tell yourself, what will you feel before you set forth, masasabi mo ba na ang journey mo ay maganda, productive at naging kapakinakinabang ka sa mundong ibabaw? Ang tanong mo siguro sa sarili mo, kung masaya ka, at proud sayo ang mga maiiwan mo. Success yun kung ganon. E siyempre mas happy din kung may maiiwan kang maraming pamana (bonus na yun)

Ngayon siguro nag-iisip ka na gawin ang mga magagandang bagay upang matupad ang iyong pangarap, aba sige simulan mo na yan. Balitaan mo ako!

Nasa picture nanaman tayo, bakit ba iyang maduming maong ko ang naka post dyan? Katatapos kasi ng sand storm kasi sa Korea niyan, Yellow Storm ang tawag nila duon, pero hindi yan naging hadlang, alam mo naman tayo NOTHING BLOCKS OUR WAY, I met my friends and had a good time together despite of the dust. Make good memories ika nga, challenge everything. Kung hindi ako lumabas nuon, edi walang kwento, walang memories :)

Asta la vista!

Hanggang sa muli.

Unang Post Ko, Intro muna syempre...

Nag-iisip ako ng isang mabisang paraan kung saan ay mailalahad ko ang aking mga karanasan, ideolohiya, inspirasyon at buhay-buhay sa mga tao hanggang ang isang kaibigan ay isinabi sa akin na maganda ang wordpress, dahil para lamang itong isang diary.

Commercial lang: Ang idol ko sa negosyo ay si Donald Trump.

Nag simula akong maging negosyante mula nuong bata pa ako, sa chinese school kasi nuon ang lagi kong dala mga box ng Mongol, tapos ang mga classmate ko naman ang dala nila papel, candy, pantasa at kung iba iba pa. Bata pa kami e negosyante na, pag may dala ka kasing product, tapos may need sa commodity mong dala, kikita ka, negosyo na yun.

I'm very excited to write all my experiences in this publishing blog, I would want to inspire the Youth. Ika nga nila, hindi lang sapat ang mangangarap ka, dapat meron din sapat ng inspirasyon, motisbasyon at kaalaman. Yun mga bagay na iyon susubukan kong ibahagi sa lahat ng magiging tagapagsubaybay ng blog na ito.

Sana ay sundan ninyo ako sa aking pagbabalik tanaw mula nuong bata pa ako at paghaharap tanaw sa kinabukasan at hinaharap; mga inspirasyon at turo nila mommy at daddy, mga gabay ng mga naging magagaling na mentors at mga karanasang kasama ang aking mga kaibigan.

Love life, pwede din ma-topic. Hindi pa ako sure pero siguro pwedeng pwede na din. Ang negosyante kasi minsan, wala na love life yan e. Kasi madali naman gumawaw niyan kapag established ka na.

Sa blog na ito, hindi ko rin maiiwasan na sabihin sa inyong lahat ang mga totoong realidad ng buhay na minsan ay masakit pakinggan, pero kung loloobin ninyo ay talagang makatutulong din sa ating buhay-buhay.

Mga post sa facebook ilalagay ko din dito, basta't marami kang dapat abangan sa blog na ito. Baka gusto mo din i-share sa mga kaibigan mo.

kahaba naman ng introduction ko. Sige hanggang dito na muna, mag-sstart  na akong gawin ang next na post.

Nagtataka ka siguro kung bakit ang unang photo na inapload ko ay langit? Yan picture na yan, ilang taon na yan, 2009 pa yan, nuong mag-isa akong lumipad sa KOREA para hanapin ang kapalaran ko... Napakaraming nangyari at duon nagsimula ang maraming magagandang bagay na naganap. Nokia pa nga ang cellphone ko nuon e. Pero memorable yan photo na yan. Sa taas ng eroplano makikita mo pala talaga na ang mundo bilog, tapos ma-aamaze ka, lalong lalawak ang pangarap mo lalo pag natanaw mo yung dulo, gusto mong puntahan at alamin kung anong mga bansa at Kultura ang nanduruon...

Welcome to my world! Sana mag appreciate mo.

Halika, byahe tayo? (It's more fun in the Philippines..... and Korea din! )
