this is a thread post for fellow ofw's who have true experiences while working abroad, be it love life, circumstances, about work . can post true life experiences about people you met, at the workplace and everywhere.who wants to start first before i post my true to life experience working abroad?
boss elvega, ayos ang true to life experience mo ahhh. magkano naman kaya ang binigay na monetary reward nyan boss? ako dati sa work ko , every 6 months meron kaming natanggap na 600 Dirhams pag makakuha ng quota sa mga events namin.
ang inaantay ko eh yung true confessions ni boss enzo...siguradong exciting yan!
boss narda, dont worry , in due time ill post my true confessions here in dubai. nag iisip pa ako kong ano ang ipamagat ko nito.im sure all of you will be shocked.
actually maganda talaga buhay OFW ayon sa mga kaklase ko... marami nangyayari na hindi dapat..pero bakit nangyayari ang mga ganun?.. asawa ni Jose naging kabit ni juan... Asawa ni juan naging kasangkapan ni Pedro... Marami pa.. ang GF ni juan naging kasangkapan ni Pedro.. ang BF ni Juana naging kasangkapan ni Sylvia... Hay buhay abroad.. kung ikaw kaya na sarili mong ginawa kaya mo bang igisa ang sarili mo sa sarili mong mantika... pag nag iinuman kami ng mga kabarkada o kaibigan o kaklase ko mga masasayang happenings ang mga sinasabi nila.. kaya kung mayroon kayo kwento na maganda at nakakaabang, andito kami magbabasa para naman sumaya kami at makabasa ng mga ibat ibang karanasan ng mga OFW.... gaya ng kaibigan ko ngayon may karingking na babae sa Malta habang ang GF niya rito ay naghihintay at umaasa sa kanya..
boss joms ,ganyan talaga ang buhay pero ito ang isang tutuong fact , mas marami dito sa abroad na babae ang mas magaling pa dumiskarte at gumagawa ng kwento . mas maraming mapanlinlang na babae boss joms dito sa dubai.
Madam elabiz, thank you po sa iyong true ofw confessions. you are so lucky to have a husband like him...sana maging inspiration sa mga kapwa ofw din yan at syempre sa akin din.
ibat ibang buhay meron kami dito sa abroad.....at sasabihin ko ang kwento ng buhay ko at mga expiryens ko abroad...pag nagkwento na si sir enzoo...kaya aabangan ko ang kanyang paglaladlad...este...paglalahad pala...peace brother..
basta boss elvega , ako ang last na mag true confession sa mga true to life experience ko dito sa Uae, more than three years experience in abu dhabi, al ain , and now, one year experience dito sa dubai ,and recently fresh experience ko dito .....
working abroad is like having handful of story books around you from individuals who managed to survive and have not. daming kwento, ako lang for instance, i spend my full 12 years in middle east. at first i was hired as computer programmer with yearly holiday and after 3 years, my employer died leaving most of us in mid air kasi walang sasalo sa amin at mga bata pa ang mga anak nya, there we were waiting who will process our papers to send us all back home, until months came and another and another walang pwedeng signatory para maiprocess ang pag uwi ko. i spend 8 months of my life doing partime jobs on electronics without any updated legal papers to work, inilapit ko sa philippine embassy ang case ko at puro sila pangako that time. until one time, nag decide akong maglasing at maglakad para mahuli ng police, before i even go out, there was this huge knock on my door at nung binuksan ko, police. pinasakay ako sa police car, pero sa tabi nya at hindi sa likod (i wonder why) at dinala ako sa presinto. they asked me for my papers which in turn i gave them, it was expired national ID with my sponsor written on it. akala ko that time pwede na nila akong i deport after some punishment of course..pero hindi, i told them the story and to my surprise, that same police car took me back home, hindi ako ikinulong.. i told my parents back home to forward my case to poea, they did and it was like wishing for a fairy grandmother..of course hindi lang ako ang may mga problema abroad para i prioritize nila. so 8 months of selling cd's and dvd's fixing things just to earn money is like a never ending struggle daily. i managed to pay my rent, my internet, my food, and i can send money to my family.. until i adopted the situation and became immune to my real case. later on, nakilala ko itong pinoy and he told me he is working in a multinational company and in need of an IT professionals, the company is under a well known family sponsorship and that family can help me fix my papers and get the job. and so i tried it, went there, interviewed me, i passed. they asked me to stay in jeddah for my OJT at pinatuloy ako sa 4 star hotel for 6 months. later on they asked me to stay in riyadh for another OJT and stayed in kuzama hotel for 2 months. after all, i was hired fully and started traveling, i dont do programs anymore but hardware support. this is the short version of my struggle abroad.
