To apply another job, or not to apply another job.

Last Tuesday afternoon, one of the female employees asked me if I have plan(s) to apply to other companies. Kasi matagal akong tine-train sa kumpanyang pinapasukan/pinagtatrabahuan ko.

Sinabi ko naman na naghahanap ako. At isa pa daw, para daw ay sa 15th day, at 30th day ang sweldo ko (except February), para daw meron akong account sa SSS, etc.

dalawang araw lang ang pasok ko. Around mid-April, or late April of this year ay dalawang araw ang pasok ko.

Sa loob loob ko lang, mahihirapan akong mag-apply dahil sa edad ko. At sa loob lob ko lang, hindi ko alam sa mga kumpanya dito sa Metro Manila, ay ina-apply yung Anti-Age Discrimination in Employment Act.

An European company will open its doors to the Philippines, by the end of 2020(?). I don't know if the European company will accept me, or they have the opportunities for the "employees" like me, or they have the "opportunities" I'm looking for.

Samba Bluewater Resort

My family & I went to Samba Bluewater Resort this first weekend of the month. From November 2 to 4. In my humble opinion, the resort is more on being a budget beach resort.

So far, the service is okay. Kailangan mo magpa-stamp, kung lalabas kayo ng resort. Yung table sa tapat ng room ng kwarto ng kapatid ko ay may sira. These tables needs improvement.

Samba Bluewater Resort also have the option of cottages with electric fan. These cottages are near the beach. The resort also have tables and seats for day visitors.

The resort also have these seating area. The resort also have inflatable playground.
