Life on an Island

I never thought I could be in this place. Seeing different races and mingling with different nationalities. 
Feeling excited in high spirit as I embrace cool breeze once we landed in a beautiful picturesque scenery in Velavaru. 
Dreaming when I was young that people who are filthy rich can only afford to travel around the globe. People who are fortunate enough to see different wonders of the world. It was a dream come true to be into this place where in some people can only see places through travel magazines, movies, or even in the internet. 

October 24, 2013 when I left Dubai. All my memories kept on my mind. Teary-eyed as I bid goodbye to my close friends and colleagues.

As I welcome Maldives, I wholeheartedly open my mind and heart to new challenges and willing to learn different skills.


Here are some of  the pictures I took.

The Encounters

People you meet may have a great impact to your life. Some might influences you, some will uplift you, some gives you inspiration, and some will try to pull you down. 

These were the people, whom I encountered at work. I met Pakistani Model, Pakistani Rock star, Chairman of a certain company in Korea, and a lot more.

Goodbye Kidzania, Hello Emirates

Almost four months working in a private company here in Dubai, and I am enjoying my career and crop. I encountered different people and nationalities in different profession in life. 


My first assignment was in Kidzania-Dubai Mall. I mingled with kids, adults and parents.  Patience is the best key as I keep my pace and hold my anger if customers are difficult to deal with.  I gained friends in Kidzania and learned  about different activities which involve arts, science, mechanic and cooking.  As I took pictures, I am acquiring knowledge as well.

As year 2013 begins, my memories in Kidzania are still being there. I miss capturing children’s activities, and all the staffs whom my friends already.

Now, as I say hello to Dubai Airport, another challenge and tough task awaits me. I will be mingling tourists, passengers who are in a hurry catching on their flights and other passengers who are in transit.


The History of Dubai Airport



In this kind of career I chose, patience, honesty and good rapport with the guest are my keys whenever I am on duty.   
There was one time; I approached a guest, who was also my guest when I was still in Kidzania. I told her that I remember her with her son, and she smiled and said, “Yes, I remember you”.
Another encounter was a Russian Female Anthropologist who can fluently speak Tagalog. We talked about simple things, her profession and my province in Philippines. The touching moment that I feel flattered was, when she first raised her hand to shake me, and said, “Salamat.”
I had encountered a lot with different personalities and nationalities. I am proud whenever they say, “Are you from Philippines?” and I respond with, “Yes Madam/Sir, how do you find Filipinos/Philippines?” afterwards they will smile and answer back with, “Good, I love Philippines”, some say “I have Filipino friends…… (Stating their own country)”, “Filipinos are good.”

As I continue honing my crop and keep on practicing, I may be able to achieve someday the fruit of my hardworking.  Some of my colleagues are not contented with the salary, but if you love your work, you are optimistic that you will grow up into this kind of job, then so be it.




This is my stepping stone into another level as I slowly but surely achieving my goals and dreams. God will help me through all the way in my ups and downs.
