How to spend my one week holiday at home productive, fruitful!

I was pest off! One week off! I should have plan this ahead kalokah but anyway I am still grateful to God that he gived me the opportunity to travel. Lately, I have been thinking a lot of what should I do regarding this one, Grrrhhh :-(


Google the best search engine on earth gived me this one and I am inspired of doing what this blogger (http://www.moneywise24.com) is talking about:-)

Getting up early
Get up around 9 or 10 in the morning at the latest daw and make myself a coffee and perhaps a light breakfast. check  e-mails and watch some news. Hokey:-)

Blogging / my websites
Good Idea Blog na lang ng Blog coz During  holiday daw, We are at ease thus we can brainstorm any interesting topics. This allow us  to write as much as four or five articles or pages at  the same time, and it gives us a satisfied feeling of spending our time productively. O divah!

Language learning
 I will think about this - hahahha watcha think Bellisima Ganda? hahahaha

Fitness / sports
Gym ng Gym or Jog ng Jog and we need to spend an increased amount of time to do sports.Yun yun

Cycling in the park
Hmmm Corniche is on my mind  on this thing and why not try this week and saunter the long stretch of abudhabi corniche malay mo may Papang feel ang kgandahan ko:-) chos

Visit a lake or the sea side
Again another great idea nang makamunimuni at mag fantasya hahahaha divah ganda pinoy stories kaagad!

Tidy up my room
Tumahhhh medyo untidy na ang room ko sa katamaran kech.

Cook something really special
why not coconut! Voila My favorite Hawaiian Pork Ribs or Shrimp cook in garlic and sprite vengga

Evaluating my investments/finances etc
Holidays are a great time to take a closer look at my finances  and my spending habits etc. Baka max out na ang card ko stoppage na magkaskas. Well, actually thats what I am doing now!

And last but not the least, Spending a holiday at home does not need to be boring or dull. You just need to be creative in making you holiday home fun fun fun

MY GRAND INDOCHINA TOUR

INDOCHINA: VIETNAM - LAOS - CAMBODIA

 Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam - Không Có Chi -Welcome! Cảm ơn chị/ Cảm ơn anh-Thank You(Male/Female)!
Interesting Facts of Viet Nam as per Wikipedia: Vietnam is approximately 331,688 km² (128,065 sq mi) in area (not including Hoang Sa and Truong Sa islands), larger than Italy and almost the size of Germany. The combined length of the country's land boundaries is 4,639 km (2,883 mi) and its coastline (excluding islands) is 3,444 km (2,140 mi). The topography consists of hills and densely forested mountains, with level land covering no more than 20%. Mountains account for 40% of the area, with smaller hills accounting for 40% and tropical forests 42%.

Vientianne/Paksi, Laos - Sa-bai-Dee - Thank You!  Boh pen yang - Welcome!
As per Wikipedia the term "Laotian" does not necessarily refer to the Lao language, ethnic Lao people, language or customs, but is a political term that also includes the non-ethnic Lao groups within Laos and identifies them as "Laotian" because of their political citizenship. Laos has the youngest population of any country in Asia with a median age of 19.3 years.Laos' population was estimated at 6.8 million in early 2009, dispersed unevenly across the country. Most people live in valleys of the Mekong River and its tributaries. Vientiane prefecture, the capital and largest city, had about 740,010 residents in 2008. The country's population density was 27/km²

Siem Reap/Phnompenh, Cambodia - Muhn ay te or Unjuhn - Welcome! Aw ko-oon - Thank You! Bong - Mate!
Interesting Facts about Cambodia : The civil war and neglect severely damaged Cambodia's transport system, but with assistance and equipment from other countries Cambodia has been upgrading the main highways to international standards and most are vastly improved from 2006. Most main roads are now paved.
Cambodia has two rail lines, totalling about 612 kilometers (380 mi) of single, one meter gauge track. The lines run from the capital to Sihanoukville on the southern coast, and from Phnom Penh to Sisophon (although trains often run only as far as battambang. Currently only one passenger train per week operates between Phnom Penh and Battambang.

Of Buying a Property

Before, I was so pessimistic enough not to buy a property especially that I am single and no plans of settling yet. Now that my siblings have their own properties, they encourage me to buy one and that's why I bought one for myself.

I dunno what's the good thing of buying a property but somehow I made some realizations now that I am getting older and wiser(char!) that to buy a property is to invest for the future and also the pride of ownership - of owning one's house and this means that I can paint the walls of my house any color I like, turn up the volume on my CD player anytime I want, attach permanent fixtures and decorate my home according to my taste. Home ownership gives me and my family a sense of stability and security.

I do not know what will be my next investment but so far Investing on Travel gives me the sense of fulfillment and happiness hahaha;-)

Photography - I am loving it!!

This is the hobby that I told you my dear followers, Very creative indeed! After researching and canvassing about DSLR camera on whats the best and durable, etc;  I  finally bought a Nikon DSLR camera D3100. In one of the blogs that I read and I quote that "Nikon D3100 is one of the best DSLR for a beginner". And that sums up all my decision of buying one.

Photography really push you to the limit especially your creativity. It somehow helps you how to hone your creative skills because I just know now that even you do not have that creativity yet but when you try and explore eventually it will come out. Its a matter of practice actually. Anyways, here are my sample of my photographs. Enjoy my works!

Working with a Start-Up Company

To my fans and followers, I am so sorry for not updating this blog. Well, because I was busy with my new work, secondly I had this new hobby that I cannot resist holding on and last but not the least, I really forgot that I have something that I owe it to you guys and that is of telling you what's on my mind and what's up on my personal and career life(char:-)!

Well, well anyways here's my first entry which is obviously in the title. I am like 3 months or so now with my new company and so far so good. I am little bit busy sometimes and sometimes not, my new company is new to Abu-Dhabi , its actually a start up company. But then there is a mother company that is based in US which provided the funds, logistics and the people in order for  my new company to compete and survive here in the middle east. For confidentiality, I will not disclose my company's name because the nature of it is something sensitive.

Let's go to my work and the people - for a few months I really pity myself because I have a bit of loads whilst other don't have than just sit and do face book for the whole 8 hours. Its something unfair but then its their work ethics plus it infuriates me because this kind of employee is really incompetent, he even doesn't know how to operate basic excel that's why he keeps bugging  and ask me how to do this and that. Shame on Him but then he is not really learning even to the point that I tell him straight to his face that I am not your teacher to teach you on how to do that, It is highly expected of you the fact that your getting 5 figures and even higher rate than me. But right now, I am okay and happy in a way because I have other colleague now who in away knows about his job and even can help me how to lessen my work through initiatives and techniques. We are team work in a way. GOD is good all the time!

And to end this entry, I can say that working in a start up company has to sides of the story, its either you lost or you contribute/help. If you have that solid experience and know your job very much, probably you can help the company how to structure the path and the process but if your just a nuisance and just got lucky ending up with this job, you will wait for something to happen because you afraid to share and contribute to the company. Also, I believe in Employee Working Attitude - even if you have a little bit of experience but if you are raring to go and do the extra mile stuff, eventually you perfectly do your job.
