Pinoys Needed in Alberta, Canada

Alberta

If you’re jobless and you know it clap your hand. :D

… cause there’s one great opportunity out in Alberta, Canada for you!

The Department of Labor and Employment signed an agreement with Alberta’s Ministry of Employment and Immigration, a partnership that would help recruit and deploy our overseas Filipino workers in their locale… and they initially need about 10,000 Filipinos! That’s 10,000 Pinoys with jobs and 10,000 families and extended families that would be fed!

They’re looking for skilled workers, and the salary is being reported to go as high as 6,000 Canadian dollars (US$5,700) for the highly skilled welders, and 3,800 Canadian dollars (US$3,600) for pipe fitters. Wow, macho money for macho men!

That’s how hardworking Filipinos are.. jobs are offered to us, because we know how to get things done… because…

“I care for my job, sir. I care for you”. - Sharon Cuneta in Caregiver, lol :D

PS: When you’re done with work, a chillax at Bora, Palawan, the Outer Banks, or even at home would do you good. Work well, Pinoy!

Sheeps and the Pinoy

July 27, 2008 · Filed Under funny, people · Comment 

This one’s a true story.

Photobucket

There’s a foreigner who was in the country for a development project, and he’s at this “boat”, along with his Filipino colleagues, and of course, the “bangkero” and his assistant. They all arrived at this area where one of the passengers has to go down, thus, the conversation went something like this:

Passenger: Bababa!
Assistant: Bababa! Bababa!
Bangkero: Bababa?
Passenger: Bababa!
Assistant: Bababa!
Bangkero: Bababa…
Foreigner: Sheeps…

Isnt this funny? Only in the Philippines can people understand each other with just a syllable. And what’s funnier is the use of “Bababa” which made it sound like the pinoy guys in the boat are sheeps. lol.

For people out there who dont get the conversation above, here’s the translation:

Passenger: This is my stop, i need to go down now.
Assistant: A passenger’s gonna go down!
Bangkero: Somebody’s gonna go down?
Passenger: Yes, I need to go down.
Assistant: He needs to go down. This is his stop.
Bangkero: Okay, let me just move this a little over to a safe place where you could go down…
Foreigner: Sheeps…

Lol. And to think that’s just “Bababa!”

Cause you know, we still have nganganga, dedede, lalala…

Hahaha! :D

2010 Presidentiables

July 26, 2008 · Filed Under opinion · 2 Comments 

It’s still two years til the next elections and we could already “smell” who, among the politicians, are going to run in the presidential race. The seat is crucial, most especially this 2010, cause our people have, for the past couple of years, gone through a lot of challenges that made most lose hope in the fate of the country.

The fifteenth President would sure be facing way more than the PEA-Amari, jueteng, Hello-Garci, and ZTE Broadband Deal combined, cause it’s up to this very lucky person to have all these controversies resolved, so that the Filipino people could all eventually move forward - without these issues as excess baggage. And so, we believe we’re one with the rest of the Filipino people that we need more than just the photo-opportunity-PR-crap, we need action! Positive transformation!

So, this coming 2010, who’s gonna be our savior? Who among the most likely presidentiables would be “the one”? The environmentalist filipina Senator Loren Legarda? “Mr. Palengke” Senator Mar Roxas? Mega-businessman Senator Manny Villar? Well-loved media personality Vice President Noli de Castro? or the Chief Executive herself, President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo?

Whoever would be the next President of this country, we pray that he or she would have mercy, true compassion for the Filipino people.

Stop the politics, cause frankly, we’ve had more than enough of it.

You are a Filipino if…

July 16, 2008 · Filed Under lifestyle, people · 5 Comments 

“Psssst! Junjun, yung ano ni Tito Boy at Ate Baby, na-ano mo na?”

 If you get that one above, you are, most likely, a hundred and one percent Pinoy. So, aside from understanding the gazillion meanings behind the word “ano“, and the redundant and ironic nicknames, these are traits that make you purong Pinoy:

1. Your meal is never complete without rice… that’s sinangag for breakfast and merienda, and plain rice for lunch and dinner.

2. Jollibee will always have a special place in your heart - like when Hetty and Champ danced with you in your seventh birthday party (and you got nostalgic cause you just heard your baby say “jabi” for the first time. Awww!)

3. When you were little and you did something nasty, it’s either the slippers or the belt. If you’re worse and you crossed way over the line, prepare your knees for mongo.

4. As you dance, people happily give you money, big amount of money, in front of cheering people, without having to do the pole — it’s legit, and you call it the wedding money dance.

5. You are religious but, hmmn, for you, San Miguel is more than just a saint. You have a bond — the “iba ang may pinagsamahan” type. It’s almost an addiction.

6. You never leave a party without a “take home” — on a paper plate, wrapped in aluminum, and mainit-init pa.

7. Tall, dark, and handsome = pogi points.

8. You grab all the plastic spoons, forks, paper napkins when you dine in fastfoods like “McDo”. You also get those mini-soap, shampoo, toothbrush at hotels (oops, tissue too!) because you paid for them.

9. You know the Wowowee theme song, know the moves cause you’ve danced it at your office Christmas Party.

10. You know this list isnt even a quarter of a quarter complete.

Proud to be Pinoy!
