Final and Permitted

My Actual Visa

"God is righteous to those who worship him. "


It is been so true na kung matatag ang yung pananalig sa Diyos kasama ng mga dasal at pagpupuri ay ibibigay Niya ito ng buong buo. It is tested that the power of prayer is most powerful of all things. I have been in a roller coaster of emotion for the past few days. There are times that I fall and rises by myself. Even time have tested me I was strong and solely focus on my goal and having a strong faith I succeed.


Kanina, Natanggap ko na ang ticket at Entry visa ko galing sa Westin Abu Dhabi. Laki kung pasasalamat talaga kay Lord na binigay niya ito at kay Mama Mary na tumulong sa akin. Pati na rin sa pamilya ko na kinapitan ko at my driving force na magkaroon ng patience at courage to pursue my dreams. Malaki din ang pasasalamat ko sa Westin Abu Dhabi na ginawan nila ng paraan para mapadali ung processing ng aking visa lalo na si Miss Rhymy na siyang nag-aupdate sa akin kung anu ang lagay ng aking mga papel. 


I really hope that when I will arrive in Emirates everything will be fine at sana doon ko masimulang bumangon at umasenso para sa kinabukasan ko at kinabukasan ng aking Pamilya.

Feeling not so Confident

I will not lose hope!

It is not hidden that I am going this 24th of June for exit and I will directly entering the Emirates from here. But as of this time, my Entry Visa is not yet ready and their could be a possibility for a delay that may cause problem with my exit here in Saudi Arabia. I am still worried and scared for my time of stay here. I really hope that in due time and in God's help it would be okay after all.


Today, I know that my papers are already in accounting department of the hotel for the final calculation for my salary and benefits that I would take maybe tommorow or on thursday. I really really hope that this problem on my visa would be done so I can breath free and I would not think for any negative that will affect my confidence in my next appointment. So help me God!

So Scared and Worried

Lord, I pray unto You

Today is the Last Day-off that will take here in Al Bilad Hotel. I woke up on an email coming from The Westin Abu Dhabi na my visa application was not yet ready. And that my day started with a disappointment, I really worried na by the time na aalis na ako dito this 24th of June ei wala pa yung aking entry Visa for UAE. Sa aking pagkaaligaga talagang nagworry ako at natakot sa kakahantungan ng aking mga pangarap now that it is in jeopardy.


In the middle of the day, I reflected and pray much harder for divine intervention and of course sought help from God because only his miracle can save me during this time. At bigla kung naalala na every problem that we have, every struggle that we face it always reminded us that there is always God that looking at us and It is His own way of speaking to us so we can always talk to him and remember that in times of troubles he is always ready for help. I also sought for the Help of the Blessed Virgin Mary for her undying support to her devotee that she may always pray for us to his Son. 


I am feel so alone today, I feel so vulnerable for I cannot do anything about this matter. I hope that makaalis ako in due time at maaprove na din ang aking visa para makapunta na ako at masimulan ko na ang aking mga pangarap. Praise be to God and his Will be done.

Happy Father's Day

Papa

Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers out there.


 I will never imagine my life without my papa his the one that been a neutral to everything. Siya talaga ang haligi ng amin pamilya. He is so religious, soft spoken and very passionate on what to implement in the house. Hindi siya marunong magalit and once he get mad he will do it in his own way that will affect to you and deliver it with dignity. Si Papa ang taong who will understand what ever it is you have into and he find ways to help you what ever it takes.

Clearance and Goodbyes

Clearance - Last na ito!

This week is my Last Week of duty in Al Bilad Hotel. I am so happy to the outcome of my stay here in Jeddah it was very productive and well inspiring six years. I would always thankful for this hotel for the knowledge and so much fun that it has been instill to my experiences. Today I spoke to the HR manager and said everything my last request before I leave. I also process my clearance and let the responsible person to signed it.

Sa lahat ng ito. Isang malaking pasasalamt sa lahat ng naibigay ng Al Bilad at ng mga taong bumubuo nito. Salamat din sa mga naging kaibigan ko dito lalo na kay Dada na naging sandalan at  matibay na pagkakaibigan na hinding-hindi ko malilimutan. Sana kita kits nalang tayo sa susunod na pagkakataon.. 

UAE Visa

Visa Sample

I have read this article last night about the Visa application and processing in the UAE. I have learn that the processing will take up to 4 to 5 working days to be release. And this would be an Entry visa and when the time you arrive in emirates you will begin the processing on taking the Labour Card or the Residence Permit.


Ngayon naintindihan ko na kung anu ang mga pagdadaanan ng mga papel ko for me to come to the Emirates. Sana naman maapproved ung application ko para naman once and for all makakaalis na ako dito sa Jeddah. I love to stay but I must think on my future for my family and to myself as well. Even if I will leave everything I love and give up my Happiness cause I have a strong faith that God will do whats best for me.

Missing Someone

Alone

Loving a person is not always a choice sometimes Destiny makes his own way to connect the two person to be with each other.

Wow ang drama parang tunay! Pero today I really miss my Dada so bad. Para kasing ang dami kong napagdaanan this past few days na as in kaylangan ko siya, siya namang wala ito dito. I know I would not be feeling this way kasi I know whats may position in this situation but di ko maalis sa isip ko na "what if" kung andito siya anu kaya ang magiging desisyon ko at ano kaya ang kanyang masasabi sa aking mga pasya. Hay sana hindi parating ganito. Sana balang araw may magmamahal din sa akin, na hindi ako iiwan at di ako kayang pakawalan.

Does love really works in mysterious ways? weeei. di nga!

Sneak Peak to my new Home

Star Village Abu Dhabi

I have already received an email that shows the staff house of the associates ng Starwoods Hotels in Abu Dhabi which they called Star Village. The village will house the staff of three hotels own by Starwoods. Sa tingin ko super ganda ng place although parang wala pang nakatira nung ginawa yung video. And trust me it is so nice and hope that as it is so relaxing to watch in video sana ganun din ito sa actual na place. I am so excited for it and eager to walk on it and had fun living there. I hope to God that everything happens there would be benificial for me and to my Future.

Abu Dhabi: My New Destination

The Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort and Spa

Maikwento ko lang, Yesterday June 10, 2012 around 9:30 am tinawagan poh ako ng  isang babae from Abu Dhabi na nagpapakilala na siya ay si Rhymy isang HR personnel ng The Westin Abu Dhabi Golf Resort and Spa. And during that time bigla po akong nagising sa magandang balita na ipinaalam sa akin. Ang sabi nya una ay "Dave, We are happy to informed you that you have been accepted on your job application here in Abu Dhabi". Sa pagkagulat kong iyon napatayo ako sa higaan uminum ng tubig while on the phone. Yung feeling na ang hirap huminga dahil sa mixed-emotions.


Anyways, during the day yesterday was very stressful for me kasi napapaisip talaga ako if I would accept the offer. Kasi yung Basic ko was just a little higher than I have here at sa pool yung position ko and it will be extremely hot kaya dun (baka sing itim ko na si kamal after a month). Ang hirap kaya magpaputi! So during the day I really think hard, harder than loosing my virginity (hehehe), with the help of my family and friends na kinausap ko that I made a decision na TANGGAPIN KO ang offer nila sa akin. At sinimulan ko na ring magprocess sa mga papers ko for the Visa and Requirements ng Hotel for my new assignment, hanggang kanina I was doing it para ma completo ko lang yung mga hinihingi nila.


I have a very high hope that sana I would have a bigger and brighter opportunities for me there that can be helpful for me in the near future. I hope masaya din kayo sa akin.
