Araw na ng mga puso, may ka-date ka na ba? Ako kasi wala pa. ‘Di ba, nakakamiss ang mga mahal natin sa buhay lalo na kapag sumasapit ang araw na ito?

Sigurado, nagkalat na naman ang mga taong may hawak ng mga bulaklak. Habang naglalakad sa gilid ng daan, tagu-tago ang isang pirasong bulaklak sa kanyang likod. Kahit mahal ang bilihin ng mga bulaklak sa araw na ito, makikipagsiksikan ka pa para makabili at maibigay lang sa mamay mo, tapos ito namang si mamay mo kunyari na-surprise pa at mahihiya, sabay unti-unting aabutin. Problema, hindi na muna natin magagawa iyon hangga’t nandito pa tayo. Pero marami pa din paraan para maipadama natin na hindi mawawala iyon lalo na ngayong araw ito.

Basta ako, kakontyaba ko na mga utol ko at sila na muna ang pipila sa akin upang maibigay ang bulaklak na gusto ko para sa kanya. Kayo ba mga ka-tigang, paano?

What is tigang?

“Tigang”, a filipino word with a deeper meaning for “DRY and thirsty”.

Bakit nga ba tigang ang pinili naming original name ng PinoyME?

Ito kasi ang palagi nating nadidinig sa mga taong nasa ibang bansa upang maghanapbuhay para sa pamilya. Madalas ito lalo na kapag galing ka sa Middle East o sabihin nating Saudi Arabia.

Maraming ibig sabihin ang tigang kung iisipin mo. Puwede natin sabihing Homesick lang kaya mo sinasabing tigang. Pero mas madalas nating isipin na ang tigang ay dahil sa walang Sex at sabik na sabik makakita ng babae. Kaya nga kapag nakakakita tayo ng babaeng hindi nakatakip ang mukha o kababayan nating babae, parang ayaw mo alisin ang mata mo sa pagkakatitig sa kanya. Iisipin mo nga minsan, “Paano ko kaya siya makikilal?”

Ikaw kabayan? Tigang ka na din ba?

Bones Embedded on Rocks: Drumheller Revisited

by: Mariko

I had the opportunity of going into one of the most visited landmark in my province of Alberta, the Royal Tyrell Museum, home of genuine fossils from the abovementioned place and recently from around the world..I was there when I was in Grade 7 and back then there was not much dinosaur bones to be seen yet. There was a lot of digging goin on and we were shown how Paleontologist would extract a fossilized structure out of a piece of rock. We were told that sometimes, it would take a year to piece out a piece of leg (which is ,of course, huge by modern standard ) from a boulder.

This time, we were told that the fossils on display were from all over the world, not only dugged out from Alberta and there was a variety of animals and plants that were still attach to the rock from where it was coming from…There was a genuine shop selling fossils but apparently their stuff were not coming from the surrounding Drumheller but from diggings in the United States. Nobody was allowed to dig except licensed Paleontologist and even their numbers were regulated by the government.

Reading the history of the place, I realized that Drumheller and Alberta,for that particular matter has become the catch basin of Dinosaurs millions of years ago when the Ice caps in the North Atlantic melted. That explains why thousands of fossil bones were found in our province and why we have one of the largest oil deposits in the world..I want to share with my readers some of the pics that I got when me and my family drove there. Here goes;

Paano niya nakayanan ang ganitong kalungkutan?

by: ArTanGeL

Noong nasa Pinas pa lamang ako, pangarap ko na makapagtrabaho dito sa Saudi. Gusto ko tularan ang aking ama na halos dalawampu’t limang taon ding naging alipin sa bansang ito. Mahabang panahon ang kanyang tiniis para mapag-aral at mabuhay kami ng maayos. Dugo’t pawis ang dapat tumulo upang makakain kami ng tamang oras. Puyat at lungkot ang tiniis para maibigay ang aming pangangailangan at makapagtapos sa aming pag-aaral. At dahil doon, sinabi ko sa aking sarili na dapat ako naman.

Una, iniisip ko pa lamang noon kung ano ang magiging trabaho ko kung sakaling mapunta nga ako ng Saudi. Tunay nga bang uunlad ako kung sakaling nandoon na ako?

Sa kagustuhang makatulong sa aking pamilya at makapag-ipon ng sariling pera, natuloy nga din ako. Alam ko mahirap talaga ang buhay sa malayo lalo na kung nasanay ka sa kinagisnan mo nang buhay sa ating bansa, pero kailangan din nating magtiis upang matupad natin ang ating mga munting pangarap.

Naaalala ko pa noon, naka-ilang beses na din akong mag-apply sa mga ahensya sa ating bansa. Nasubukan ko nang aplayan ang pagiging data encoder, waiter, at marami pang iba, pero hindi ko akalaing maliit din pala ang sahod ng ganoong trabaho kaya naman hindi ako nagtuloy. Mas malaki pa ang kinikita ko sa sasahurin ko kung sakali. Sinubukan ko ding mag-apply ayon sa aking tinapos ngunit kulang naman daw ako sa experience. At ngayon, nandito na nga ako pero parang pakiramdam ko hindi ako masaya. Alam ko hindi kalakihan ang sahod dito kumpara noong nasa Pinas pa ako pero kahit papaano nakakapag-ipon din ako.

Unang apak ko pa lamang dito, bitbit ko na sina “kaba” at “takot” sa kadahilanang iniisip ko na baka hindi ko magampanan kung ano man ang trabaho at buhay na naghihintay sa akin. Pinilit kong iwan si “lungkot” pero hindi ko napansing naisingit ko pala sa aking bagahe. Si “lungkot” na laging tumatabi sa aking pagtulog at kasama ang ala-alang dala-dala nito. Hindi mo din mapapansing tumutulo na pala ang iyong luha kapag oras na ng tulugan. Ilang baling ang bibilangin upang mahanap mo si “antok”. Si “antok” na kapag minalas malas ka, kasama mo din hanggang sa pagpasok.

Ngayon, isang taon at mahigit na ako at nalalapit na ang aking pag-uwi. Kay bilis nga naman ng panahon pero mas mahirap pa pala ang ganito kaysa sa unang apak mo pa lamang dito. Sa halip na araw na lang ang bibilangin parang taon pa din ang bawat araw na dumadaan. Madami kang pinagdaanan, nalagpasan mo ang galit ng iyong amo pero pakiramdam mo parang hinahatak ka pa din pabalik. Pakiramdam na akala mo’y mas bumabagal pa ang takbo ng orasan mo. Luha na akala mong naubos na pero parang umuusbong ulit at namumuo sa iyong mga mata. Ang pananabik na maaakap mo ulit ang iyong mga mahal sa buhay ang parang nagiging dahilan pa nang iyong kalungkutan.

Dahil dito, doon ko naramdaman ang hirap ng dinanas ng aking ama. Maraming tanong ang pumapasok sa aking isipan at isa na dito ang, “Paano niya nakayanan ang ganitong kalungkutan?” Ganito pala ang pakiramdam, sa pag-aakalang masarap mangibambansa pero mahirap din pala.

Jaime

Composed by Mariko

My Jaime whose face shoned upon me
Gave me light and vanquish me with cheers
Instant bliss… surrounded me with warmth
All through my days
My Earth days will be filled
My nights wont be cold
Jaime of the rising sun
Even the birds shied upon your presence;

My Jaime who showed me no fears
Conquering my innermost, constant battles;
You calmed me with your effervescence
Bestow me with your grace;
Fluid, strong-willed, unparalleled wits.
Jaime of the stubborn, proud race.
You bend me with your will.
Send me to heights, my senses cant seem to reach.

My Jaime whose passion is unequalled..
Be it love… Be it war… Be it peace.
You who wiped down my tears.
Who made them fell.
You honor my life with unbridled love.
Yet you taketh them.
Love is not for you and for me.

My Jaime who showed me adoration.
I lost your love and lust and trust.
Your face turned away.
I’d seen a bitter enemy.
A mighty fortress..in your eyes.
In your stance.
I mourned my loss..which is you.
I weep for myself..Blood spattered to the ground.

Composed this poem today in a hasty disbelief. A woman in love who was suddenly unloved. Its haphazardly made but I put a little bit of myself into it. My female readers can symphatized with this woman whose heart is breaking right now into a million pieces.

The Holy Month of Ramadan is marked with the sighting of the New Moon on the Ninth month of the year which in our present year (2009) falls on the 22nd of August. It is in this holy season wherein the the world unites with the Islamic world to celebrate oneness with Islam and the various muslim communities on the planet. And with the Bulk of the OFW force is located within the Muslim states of the world, it is only ideal that newbie OFW workers read these simple guidelines to know what to expect and what to see about this holy month.

1. Be Discreet in Eating your daytime meals – Filipinos tend to eat more than 3 times a day. During the Ramadan period, Muslims are involved with Fasting because they believe that this is a cleansing ritual to purge out all impurities within their bodies. Try to eat in a safe place, away from their eyes, as this would signify a sign of respect to this ritual.

2. Office hours may be affected – As ramadan enters, you will find that most offices may be changing their daytime schedules to adapt to the demands of the Ramadan Rituals.

3. Everybody is busy – Ramadan makes our Muslim brothers and sisters busy to catch up with the rituals and prayers which follow a certain time frame. Always be on alert and never delay them whenever they are rushing to take part in the prayers.

4. Stay at home – For non islamic OFW’s, it is better to stay at home and do somethine worthwhile or productive, than going out to have a great time in the city. Remember, Ramadan is a solemn season for the muslims, as a sign of respect, it would be better for you to just stay put.

5. Be prepared for the Eid al-fitr – This celebration marks the end of the Ramadan season. For the muslims, this is their “New Year” celebration where everyone is enjoying the food, company of others, praying, and celebrating in the streets after a month of cleansing.

So have a blessed Ramadan to all, and always remember to have peace and solemnity to reign your lives. Shokran!

Best Regards,

eNegosyo – all in one loading business

In these times of recession in almost all parts of the world, everyone is just busy thinking of how to earn extra income to cope up with daily expenditures. Most are afraid to invest a huge amount of money and take the risk of incurring a loss or even bankruptcy not to mention the headache of decision making on what hit business to put up, what products to sell, the location, the target market, etc.

Good thing there is an income opportunity developed that allows individuals to manage their own business at a very low start-up capital and a higher chance of earning profit in a daily basis.

eNegosyo is another breakthrough in online business. It offers the easiest way of selling all in-demand prepaid load products such as cellphone loads, Internet cards, online gaming cards, TV vote cards and the like right at your fingertips. Using your very own mobile phone and existing SIM card or your internet connected PC, you are all set to gain unlimited income anytime and anywhere.

-eNegosyo advantages includes:
-Low Start-up Capital
-Free training and advertising materials
-Replenishment of supply 24/7 anytime, anywhere
-1 account for all products available
-Sell via internet with no quota
-Create retailer and earn sales overrides and more
-Continuous marketing and technical support

eNegosyo programs to choose from:

1. eNegosyo Direct – the ENEGOSYO DIRECT package allows you to maximize profit through multiple layers of income scheme. Under the Enegosyo direct program, you can choose two different sub-programs; The Personal Package program, and the Business-dealership package. The personal package program allows you to earn income personally by allowing you to disburse and sell prepaid load via your cellular phone or an interconnected-pc. The Personal Package includes:

-Discounted load
-Personal Retailing Profit (PRP)
-Reward points every time you load up
-Rewards Points Bonus (RPB)
-PLUS Retailing Opportunities

Another program under the Enegosyo Direct proposal is the Business Dealership package which allows you to sell prepaid credits on a wholesale basis. With Php8,000 pesos of initial income you can get various business options and opportunities such as:

-30 Retail Kits
-Override Commission
-Retail Profits
-Referral Fees
-Rewards Program

With the Business-dealership package you can not only sell prepaid credits, but also other value-added credits such as Internet cards, online gaming cards, TV vote cards, and many more.

2. eNegosyo E.A.R.N – The EARN program pretty much works like eNegosyo direct proposal, but works a little bit differently from the latter. EARN is the startup package of the Enegosyo proposals. It is here that you get the basic benefits with direct with the added twist of adding an Executive Business Promoter (EBP) bonus by promoting the business to others.

Just like any other business there are disadvantages to consider. The “Weepay”, eNegosyo’s card loading wallet is not available nationwide. So for those who are in the provinces, make sure that there is a BPI bank near their area to load their ewallet. Otherwise they will need to pay bank charges for each deposit on other banks. Other drawbacks are deduction of 1 peso per load and a lower rate of profit compared to Smart and Globe e-load.

Overall, eNegosyo program is a perfect venture nowadays.
