After almost eight years of working and giving my whole dedication to the job that I am at to, finally, yesterday the company has shutdown and all of us has got our separation pay. Though that amount was not the way we expected, I myself was still thankful that I received that money. Why? Cause on that small amount I can have something to spend for some weeks until I haven’t found a new job. Besides I have hear lots of company thatclosed and the employees were not given backwages or some have even waited for couple of months just for the backwage.

Now, I am just trying to spend some days with my baby and though I was just here at home, I’m trying to look for some money here on the web. I m also looking for the job vacancy that was posted on the web and trying my luck there.

I was just hoping and praying that I will soon find a work even though the pay wasn’t that high as long as I have something to bring home for my baby will be enough for me. I am not that materialistic and on this days, it is really important to have work than any other things. Besides that I was hoping to find a job were I will also enjoy and love.

I already heard about the streetname of this one particular place here and it does makes sense but I never imagined that there could be more worst place than Malabon.(This was in Philippines)

Have you seen a place sink in water even there is no single rain drops? If not you must see this place. It was located in Obando, Bulacan. I suggest that if you would like to go there try to wear rubber boots and make sure your car engine is high enough so that when it submerged in water you won’t get stuck there.

This place was always in water since the road was being constructed. The conversion of some body water into land where to build houses also adds up to the problem. Of course aside from the unstoppable problem on garbage disposal of the people.

I was even thinking and asking when this place be flood free? I just hope that the government officials can do something about this.

Tourist destination: Hong Kong

Filed under: by Christian Castillo at 11:39 pm

To get around Hong Kong, the fastest and most efficient way of getting around is via the Metro Transit Rail or the MTR. It also is the cleanest, safest and tourist-friendly among the transport options. It traverses the whole of Hong Kong. Just a tip, get the Octopus card for payment of your travel. It is accepted on the MTR, the buses, ferries and some taxis and even parking, if you have a car. You can get a Tourist day pass costing around HK $50 to travel on the MTR for 24 hours. You can also avail of the Airport Express Tourist 3-day pass for about HK $300. The 3-day pass will allow you take round trips on the Airport Express and have unlimited ride on the MTR for three days.

Here is a list of some must do’s while in Hong Kong.

Visit Victoria Peak. The Peak is one of the most popular sites in the island, especially at night. As it is the highest mountain in the island, it offers a spectacular view of the rest of the island, including Kowloon. It can be reached by a tram that has a regular schedule and run from the foot of the mountain to its peak.

Ride the Star Ferry. The star ferry is a very affordable means to travel interisland – from Hong Kong to Kowloon and back. It is considered a vintage means thus provides you with a different experience, as compared to the MTR. It affords guests with a different skyline of Hong Kong. It is a very short trip though lasting from five to 10 minutes.

Go shopping! Going to Hong Kong without shopping is ironic. Hong Kong is a shopper’s paradise, as it offers diversity in offerings, in prices and in store locations. They can be everywhere and stores offer a lot – jewelries, clothing, toys, branded items, generic items, electronics, and perfume among others. When shopping especially in the streets, try to bargain and learn a few Chinese words to help you in dealing with store owners.

See Lantau Island. The biggest island of Hong Kong, Lantau offers both the old and the new. Here you can find the giant Buddha Tian Tan, the new Hong Kong International Airport, the 19th century built fort of Tung Chung, various monasteries and the Disneyland of Hong Kong.
