Part time jobs in Dubai

Going to Dubai is easy, getting a job is not that easy. Living with the Emiratis (the locals), Indians, Pakistanis, and other nationalities with different ethinicities, religion and whatsoever is far adventurous than a threat, beside it’s an open city! This place is an icing on the cake, it’s the melting pot of people all over the world guided by law, principles and social norms. Getting a property esp for expats isn’t recommended here coz you can’t own a land and prosper it, maybe not until the end of this decade. All there is is to rent a shovel of sand, develop it, make money out of it and go home to your country when you’re abundantly safe with money.

But how are you going to do that? Recession is over but not far over. Companies are still recovering. Some companies are still using the word recession to remove their employees unnecessarily, just to get out from their debts or someting.A decent job needs a university graduate at least with vast experiences, coupled with skills and a character to lead and be lead. But how about those individuals who wants to cater 2 masters at the same time? Part time is the answer. Circle of friends of friends is not ape-age and the word of mouth advertisement is being used long ago due to its credibility and trufhfulness due to one’s own opinion. These 2 ways are the easiest way to get a part time job.

As I said, anyone looking for a part time job in Dubai, I can refer you. Let us help each other in obtaining the quality and the value of life you wanted for yourselves and for your families. At the end of the day, we are doing this because we simply care.

Handling your meals

Your hand plays a very important role in food intake: whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the portions are the same:

“Your fist is the size of the carbs; your palm is the size of the protein. Make an OK sign with your thumb and index finger, and that’s how much fat you should have. Open your hand as wide as it can go; that’s the amount of fruits and vegetables. That’s going to be a well-balanced mix.”

Whoever Talbott is, thanks for the information!

Ever since I worked in a call center industry, I never forget to put on an eye wear when I’m out, especially. Call center industry is operating in a 24 by 7 all year round with rotating and notably most agents have graveyard shifts, so it helps us a lot to combat the shining rays in the morning or at midday after a tiring yet fruitful shift consolidated with geeks around your peeps. Even at night, there’s no such thing as “where’s the sun” scenario coz it helps in concealing some tired and buggy eyes on the floor (office).

There are a lot of types of eye wear that you can choose from: from rimmed glasses down no non, from metal braces to plastic, polarized or not, or even the color of the glass itself: black, colorless, yellow, red, blue, green, dark brown (which is my favorite), reflective and others. Dark brown as my personal choice can be worn at all times during the day or even at night, as long as they can see the whites of your eyes, it’s accepted. Polarized glasses (to which I haven’t verified yet), helps me strengthen my resistance to beams of radiation coming from my LCD screen. Even now that I’m not working in a call center, I still use my old-weary glasses, and I bring it with me all the time. What a nice thing to associate it for fond memories…

Sa mga OFW at kamaganak nito, sana’y maintindihan nyo…

Quote
Sa may asawa, kapatid, anak, kaibigan, at kamag-anak na OFW.
At lalo na sa mga gustong mangibang-bansa. ..
Nais ko rin ibahagi sa inyo, ang natanggap kong email na ito.
Maaaring makatulong ito upang lalong maintindihan ng bawa’t isa ang tunay na ibig sabihin ng pagiging isang OFW. Tiyak na may mapupulot tayong aral dito.

Hindi mayaman ang OFW - We have this notion na ‘pag OFW o nasa abroad ay mayaman na. Hindi totoo yun. A regular OFW might earn from P20K-P30K per month depende sa lokasyon. Yung mga taga-Saudi or US siguro ay mas malaki ang sweldo, but to say that they’re rich is a fallacy (amen!).
Malaki ang pangangailangan kaya karamihan ay nag-a-abroad. Maraming bunganga ang kailangang pakainin kaya umaalis ang mga pipol sa Philippines . Madalas, 3/4 o kalahati ng sweldo ay napupunta sa tuition ng anak at gastusin ng pamilya.

Mahirap maging OFW - Kailangan magtipid hangga’t kaya. Oo, masarap ang pagkain sa abroad pero madalas na paksiw o adobo at itlog lang tinitira para makaipon. Pagdating ng kinsenas o katapusan, ang unang tinitingnan eh ang conversion ng peso sa dollar o rial o euro. Mas okay na magtiis sa konti kaysa gutumin ang pamilya.

Kapag umuuwi, kailangan may baon kahit konti kasi maraming kamag-anak ang sumusundo sa airport o naghihintay sa probinsya. Alam mo naman ‘pag Pinoy, yung tsismis na OFW ka eh surely attracts a lot of kin. Kapag hindi mo nabigyan ng pasalubong eh magtatampo na yun at sisiraan ka na.
Well, hindi naman lahat pero I’m sure sa mga OFW dito eh may mga pangyayaring ganun. Magtatrabaho ka sa bansang iba ang tingin sa mga Pinoy. Malamang marami ang naka-experience ng gulang o discrimination to their various workplaces. Sige lang, tiis lang, iniiyak na lang kasi kawawa naman pamilya ‘pag umuwi.

Besides, wala ka naman talagang maasahang trabaho sa Philippines ngayon. Mahal ang bigas, ang gatas, ang sardinas, ang upa sa apartment. Tiis lang kahit maraming kupal sa trabaho, kahit may sakit at walang nag-aalaga, kahit hindi masarap ang tsibog, kahit pangit ang working conditions, kahit delikado, kahit mahirap. Kapag nakapadala ka na, okay na, tawag lang, “hello! kumusta na kayo?”.

Hindi bato ang OFW - Tao rin ang OFW, hindi money o cash machine. Napapagod rin, nalulungkot (madalas), nagkakasakit, nag-iisip at nagugutom. Kailangan din ang suporta, kundi man physically, emotionally o spiritually man lang.

Tumatanda rin ang OFW - Sa mga nakausap at nakita ko, marami ang panot at kalbo na. Most of them have signs and symptoms of hypertension, coronary artery disease and arthritis. Yet, they continue to work thinking about the family they left behind.

Marami ang nasa abroad, 20-30 years na, pero wala pa ring ipon. Kahit anong pakahirap, sablay pa rin. Masakit pa kung olats rin ang sinusuportahang pamilya - ang anak adik o nabuntis; ang asawa may kinakasama na rin. Naalala ko tuloy ang sikat na kanta dati, “NAPAKASAKIT KUYA EDDIE!”

Bayani ang OFW - Totoo yun! Ngayon ko lang na na-realize na bayani ang OFW sa maraming bagay. Hindi bayani na tulad ni Nora Aunor o Flor Contemplacion. Bayani in the truest sense of the word. Hindi katulad ni Rizal o Bonifacio na kalayaan ang ipinaglaban. Mas higit pa dun, mas maraming giyera at gulo ang pinapasok ng OFW para lang mabuhay.

Mas maraming pulitika ang kailangang suungin para lang tumagal sa trabaho lalo na’t kupal ang mga kasama sa trabaho. Mas mahaba ang pasensya kaysa sa mga ordinaryong kongresista o senador sa Philippines dahil sa takot na mawalan ng sweldo.

Matindi ang OFW - Matindi ang pinoy. Matindi pa sa daga, o cockroaches which survived the cataclysmic evolution.
Maraming sakripisyo pero walang makitang tangible solutions or consequences. Malas ng OFW, swerte ng pulitiko - Hindi umuupo ang OFW para magbigay ng autograph o interbyuhin ng media (unless nakidnap!). Madalas nasa sidelines lang ang OFW. Kapag umaalis, malungkot and on the verge of tears.
Kapag dumadating, swerte ‘pag may sundo( madalas meron).
Kapag naubos na ang ipon, wala ng kamag-anak. Sana sikat ang OFW para may boses sa Kamara.

Ang swerte ng mga politiko nakaupo sila at ginagastusan ng pera ng Filipino. Hindi nga sila naiinitan o napapaso ng langis, o napagagalitan ng amo, o kumakain ng paksiw para makatipid, o nakatira sa compound with conditions less than favorable, o nakikisama sa ibang lahi para mabuhay. Ang swerte, sobrang swerte nila.

Matatag ang OFW - Matatag ang OFW, mas matatag pa sa sundalo o kung ano pang grupo na alam nyo. Magaling sa reverse psychology, negotiations at counter-attacks.

Tatagal ba ang OFW?
Tatagal pa kasi hindi pa natin alam kailan magbabago ang Philippines , kailan nga kaya?
o may tsansa pa ba?

Masarap isipin na kasama mo ang pamilya mo araw-araw.
Nakikita mo mga anak mong lumalaki at naaalagaan ng maayos. Masarap kumain ng sitaw, ng bagoong, lechon, inihaw na isda, taba ng talangka. Masarap manood ng pelikulang Pinoy, luma man o bago. Iba pa rin ang pakiramdam kung kilala mo ang kapitbahay mo. Iba pa rin sa Philippines , iba pa rin kapag Pinoy ang kasama mo except (’pag kupal at utak-talangka) , iba pa rin ‘pagnagkukwento ka at naiintindihan ng iba ang sinasabi mo. Iba pa rin ang tunog ng “mahal kita!”, “day, ginahigugma tika.” “Mingaw na ko nimo ba, kalagot!”, ” Inday, diin ka na subong haw? ganahan guid ko simo ba”.

Iba pa rin talaga.
Sige lang, tiis lang, saan ba’t darating din ang pag-asa.
Kung OFW ka at binabasa mo ito, mabuhay ka dahil ikaw ang tunay na BAYANI ng lahing PILIPINO!!!

Nakarelate ako, ikaw ba hindi? batikuleng ka gamin! agkali ka laingen kamuti ay ayu ya!

Financial prayer

Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Perpetual help, please help our parents, brothers, sisters, and other  people of the world. Heavenly Father, most Gracious and Loving God, I pray to you that you abundantly bless my family and me. I know that you recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, cousin, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in You.
Dear GOD, I send up a prayer request for financial blessing for not only the person who showed this to me, but for me and all the readers of this site. And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in you is more powerful than anything! I thank you in advance for your blessings. God, deliver the person reading this right now from debt and debt burdens.
Release your Godly wisdom that I may be a  good steward over all that you have given me. GOD, for I know how wonderful and mighty you are and how if we just obey you and walk in your word and have the faith of a mustard seed that you will pour out blessings. I thank you now Lord for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come, because I know you are not done with me yet.

In Jesus name Amen…
