New Year, New Life

I just want to take a few minutes of my time here to thank God for all the wonderful blessings she gave me and my family despite all the hardships we're experiencing. I know that looking for job is difficult and being broke all the time can be disappointing, but despite of all that, God is still with us.

May God continue to shower us with hope, energy, vitality, and grace as we face 2009! Thank you to all the people who became a part of me.

Let me share this poem by Joanna Fuchs.

Happy New Year To You
Happy New Year to you!

May every great new day

Bring you sweet surprises--A happiness buffet.

Happy New Year to you,

And when the new year’s done,

May the next year be even better,

Full of pleasure, joy and fun.

I Got a Job!

I am so happy that I was able to work in a call center near Clarkfield, Pampanga. I will not mention the name of the call center but its near Berthaphil. :) The building is new and the people are nice. I'll be starting off as an agent since I have no previous experience in any contact center here in the Philippines.

This is a good chance for me to showcase my skills and at least earn a little and help my husband with our daily finances at home. You guys who wants to work there can ping me here. But well, yes. Ok. Its NCO. :)

Looking for a Job

I still cannot find job until today. This is because of my lack of work experience since I stayed more at home. But now that my husband needs my help in our finances, I forcded myself into doing something while

Being a wife of an unfortunate OFW, I can say that life is hard and things are not the the way you expect them to be. I had a general notion before that as long as one member of the family is out of the country working, things will get well. But it turns out otherwise.

I hope that our government will be able to look into this situation and start uplifting the dignity and security among OFWs.

Giant Squid Captured, Filmed for First Time!

I thought before that giant squid are not real until I found this photo in the National Georgraphic! Its for real! Take a look!

How come I didn't see this flashed on a local television! :( You can read more info at National Georgraphic.

My First Time

I'm Maricel, 28, a Filipina and a mom. This is my first time to chat using yahoo and blog. I never had any idea about how computer works until my husband bought me a laptop so that we can communicate while he's away in Jeddah in the Middle East.

Life without a husband beside you is difficult. But I learned how to become strong for my husband and my children. English is not my native language. I hope you can give me some sort of concession. =)
