Do The Math

-
Sometimes when you have nothing to do here in Saudi in a nice weekends I just run my thoughts on some figures. Some figures that matters to me. And most of them are so close to my heart;

- my income for a year - sometimes I calculated it minus the expenses - and I am glad I have made this decision - forget about the TAX hahahaha!

- my days before coming again to the Philippines - and tomorrow will be my first month..I don't want to do the countdown! just be it and enjoy the stay!

- converting the value of every purchase I am making here - an Iphone is about 2400 SR (multiply by 11 pesos) and other simple items - I should be get over it..just remember that most of the items here is much cheaper than the Philippines' price.

- just thinking the extreme coldness - about 7 degree and the other side - extreme hotness 55 degrees in August!

- 3G, 4G? all I know the internet connection here is much better!

- sometimes I am wondering how many kilometers Dammam is from Manila? Google it!

- population of Saudi as compared to its big area of land..density I guess?

- lastly how many oil and gas Saudi still has? - the very reasons why we are here to work!

* is this my way of coping with "homesickness" I guess so hahahaha!

Not the usual scenario..for several years I am attending that occasion but last night I have missed it..I have missed it intentionally..I do not want those circus of idiots..circus of ineffective! bunch of non-sense! bunch of people who acted not like human..magbababoy! nambababoy!..in short..EVIL! God bless them.. Some truths are stranger than fiction. 1. Petitioned to be taken out - siya pa ang nakakuha ng prize! 2. Called for a prize - pero binawi kasi dapat hindi kasama..so bakit tinawag pa? obviously tanga yung nag-include ng name ng pobreng mama..umasa na kanya na ang prize eh hindi pala.. 3. Those two up there are acting as if tinotopak lagi..hopefully they can be flushed out here..some are planning about it.. Anyways I just soaked myself in rain and coffee last night..better be alone than sorry! P.S. - that chicken with kabute ( photo below) one of the despidida meal for Japs - maybe next week he will be in Qatar! Goodluck! Buti pa siya makakaalis na! P.S. - ah...

(New) Home Sweet Home!

And last night I have my first night last here in our new house ( a flat just maybe 15 minute-walk away from Dammam Palace Hotel). And I enjoyed the first night and day. And eventually our three months to follow. I am here with my fellows like Grover and Ayie ( both from my previous company) and Ryan. We decided to transfer here for some good reasons and one of them is the cost. It is much less cheap here than staying at the furnished apartment. And the  other one is the internet connection. In the apartment the wifi is so slow that we still have to wait for the right timing to get connected ( usually late at night or very early in the morning). But here we have bought a 4G router via Zain and we are very much contented with the speed (30 mbps!) and that's very great. I could watch the latest episode of Anthony Bourdanain's show or the David Letterman Late Show. I could also stream and watch some of my TV series via Glow Gaze. Thank you Zain. Living abroad is like a reality t...
