Lotto 6/45, Instant Visa, Web Surfing etc...

Masyado akong nalibang sa bagong design na ibaan.net at halos mga 6 hrs akong nag-surf at nagpost sa forum ng kung anu-ano na. Maganda itong paraan para makalimutan ko yung jockpot ng 6/45 Lotto ni Ajusi(matandang lalake)at ang instant visa( sa US, Canada, UK o kahit saan) na hangad ng maraming pinoy para makatakas sa fiscal crisis sa Pinas...

Bukas-sara sa aking browser(nde ko pala browser to, hiram ko lang ang PC hehehhe) ang Ibaan.net, sarap sanag umuwi muna at magbakasyon ( yun eh kung pede hehehhe) pero paano ka nga baga uuwi kung may mababasa kang ganito...

"He's (probably) the only poet that sells soap on the web"

My friends are probably wondering on my whereabouts after the ultimate fall of the fabled Shop that Never Sleeps. You know Philippine economy, struck by fiscal crisis and allegations of corruption in government, there’s no way a small technology-based and not to mention, electricity-hungry business such as the one I’ve had for a time, can survive. Oh, how I wish I could leave the country with my wife right now and join many of my hardworking countrymen and women in some great and odd jobs. Consequently, in the absence of productive work to do, mixed with my growing impatience over a job offer that’s supposed to come from overseas after paying a huge sum, I got nothing to turn to but the Internet and from there discovered great learning and earning opportunities. <<<<< more

Tapos kapag natapos mo na basahin at gusto mo mag-enjoy at magbasa ng kung ano para mailihis at takasan ang reyalidad eh magtatapos ka sa article na ganito...

Despite the hardships of our situation, I still feel lucky. Many families fall apart because they could not stand the pressure of their alienating situation.. Bitter sacrifices end up to nothing for many Filipinos who come home in cadaver bags. Some disappear never to be found. I derive a humble happiness in the fact that my family is still intact and that my parents are still alive.

Many times I wish things are different for our country so that families need not be separated to survive. I know that my mother would not leave if her income from selling rice is enough to raise a family. My father was forced to migrate after being retrenched from his work in the South Harbor. My sister would have chosen to settle here if her office would not continue to relegate her as a casual employee.

On his last visit here two years ago, my father told me that life in another country as a second-class citizen is not good. But it is better to be a second-class citizen which pays enough to sustain a family than to eke out a living here and die from hunger and poverty.

For me, what remains to be the most compelling argument why our society must keep its people together is that when you feel the urge to express your love for your family, the painful reality is that you need to have a visa, a passport, and a plane ticket to see them or that you need to have a telephone to fulfill this basic human interest. I have to add, you need money, lots of money to acquire these tools of communication. <<<<< more

Ngayon paano nga kaya, paano kaya kung biglang mapauwi, sigurado namang may naghihintay din na saya kasama ang pamilya pagkatapos ng 7 taon pagka-miss sa isa't-isa pero siguro ilan buwan lang din eto at mapaplitan na naman ng pagkabahala kung makikita mong numinipis ang bulsa at parang kay labo ng opurtunidad kaya mag-iisip na naman umalis kunin ang passport at ipasa sa kung saan-saan recruitment agencies na pagkakamahal naman ng lagay... Kaya yung paglilibang at pagka-enjoy ko sa bagong design ng ibaan.net ay itutuloy ko na lamanag sa isang araw dahil kung saan-saan ako nakaksuot... kaya isasara ko muna ang aking browser at i-turn off ang power ng computer.. babayuuuu
