Welcome Year 2017!

Happy New Year to all!  A small and simple celebration to begin with this new year, but a big appreciation of the positive things that happened during 2016! Welcome 2017, may all our dreams and apsirations turn into reality, and all our efforts into great achievements.  Thank you God for all the graces and blessings that you had given me and to my family.  

Merry Christmas 2016

A very Merry Christmas to all Christians around the world who are celebrating the birth of our Christ Jesus on this day.  It is not just a celebration of  gift giving and merriment but to celebrate the love, joy, peace, and goodwill to all mankind which are the teachings of Jesus Christ.  To all Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) who are not with their family and love ones on this day, my felicitations and wishes of a joyful Christmas.  I know the pain of being alone during this time, for I am also celebrating this special day without my family.  But let us not be sad, for someday we will also be with our family during Christmas in the coming years to come, in God's time. 
 

I thank God for this beautiful morning!  Merry Christmas to all!

Morning Walk

My Playground

This is a place where my dreams comes true.  A playground where my childhood dreams are made to be realized. A place where I can free my mind, where I can play from dawn to dusk. My playground.

Stephen King

I missed reading pocket books.  During my high school and college years when internet was not yet introduced, hehehe, I usually spend my idle and break time going to the library and read lots of pocket books that are available on the book shelves. Stephen King novels are one of my favorite books I read during that time.  Novels of Stephen King are also made into movies such as my favorite "Misery", "Carrie", "The Dark Half", "Pet Sematary", "Salem's Lot", "Christine", and many more.  Until now, Stephen King never disappoints me.  I enjoyed his contemporary horror and suspense stories. When I went to Jarir Bookstore two days ago,  I tried to check if there are still available pocket books of Stephen King.  I was surprised that the book of "Dolores Claiborne" and "From A Buick 8", are there on the shelves.  And it is available on a discount price that's why I bought it immediately without a second thought. For a change, I will concentrate reading these two books during my spare time.  Now I had a chance to relax my mind without thinking my stressful work at the office.

Silence and Loneliness Becomes One

Night time falls.  Silence and loneliness becomes one again.

19 Years

Today, October 8, 2016, I'm celebrating my 19 years with my present company. I am thanking God for his guidance on reaching this milestone in my career.  Inspite of all the challenges and hardships that I've encountered in my work, I was able to hurdle all of this but without the emotional and physical pain.  I assumed that this year is more challenging, and pressure mounts so high because of the sudden organizational changes of our company.  I had tried my best to be more dedicated to my work and I'm keeping my fingers cross that I can survive and cope with the demands of my work.

Happy Saudi National Day at Lulu Hypermarket

Yesterday was the celebration of National Day of Saudi Arabia (September 23).  Lulu Hypermarket at Al-Khobar celebrated the occasion with the display of some artifacts and national costumes of the Kingdom.  I would like to thank Saudi Arabia for the continuing support to the expatriate community particularly for the Filipino OFWs.  I believe Saudi Arabia is one of the safest country in the world.  Thank you Saudi Arabia for giving us the opportunity to work and live in your peaceful country.  Using my iPhone 6s Plus camera here are some of the photos I took at the display of the 1st Floor, Lulu Hypermarket.
