Wishing you all Eid Mubarak. May all you enjoy a happy and peaceful holiday season.

Next week is the end of Ramadan!

Its time to celebrate. The celebration called “Eid”. Eid means start of eating, resting, visiting to relatives and friends. This apply to all muslim country specially here in the middle east region.

In our country this was compare the day of East Sunday were the people celebrate and prepared some celebration. Here in Oman, we have 1 week vacation because of Eid.

Eid Mubarak!

There are lots of food that we served to us, there are breads, fruits, juices and one that caught up my attention is the Denggoo / Denggu what ever the spelling!

Denggoo/ Denggu served on a big plate/ tray

• contain a big lumpia wraps around 5-8 layers of it
• sweet corn on the top over the lumpia wraps
• a sort of corn syrup that make the denggu more delicious

Using our bare hand to eat the denggu/ denggoo. It worth trying.

Yesterday, Its my first time to witness the funeral of our brother Muslim here in Oman. It quite different for us Catholic the way/ tradition of buried of there love ones.

Once the person died here in Oman they immediate buried the body of dead, the family will accept a visitors for them to give hand and share a sympathy to our fellow colleague. Once we enter  “Sabila” or funeral parlor on us to accomodate us we shake hands  all the family member and the earlier visitor whose in there then we have a sit.

The visitor were offered a coffee during regular time, since its Ramadan,all our fellow Muslim brothers are fasting.

Condolence to our good colleague Mr Mahmood.

The moment has come!

I got married for the most beautiful girl in the world.  I couldn’t express myself on that day or I’m just also little exited. heheheh! Its not only wedding its all not just ordinary day!.

Merry Christmas to all!

After all week of preparations.  The moment has come!

After work in the office I go straight for the interview venue. Its still every to got there I just took my breakfast near the venue. After a minute of breakfast I pray before I went to the venue.

Despite of lack of sleep and heavy work load before my interview. The must go on!

The interview located at Imperial Hotel at Quezon City and the call time is 7:30 in the morning,  I came the venue room and as I observe there already some of the applicant were waiting for the interview. At first, I observe, look and listen. Most of the applicant were masteral and Phd. holder to cut the story short. The panel interviewer just in the other room and preparing for the interview. Most of us were nervous and I tell my self Ill gonna give my best shot ever for this interview.

After a long time of waiting for my turn I’m on the hot seat. The interviewer(most them are Arabs) seems nice and relax opposite of the stories of the previous applicants so I must self calm down and got relax too.

The 1st question is “tell me something about your self?” hehehhhehe! what a common question. The most of the question were generally about my family backgound, written on my resume and the hardest is the technical situational skills.

The interview took a long of 20 to 3o minutes. and guess what?! (drumrolls) I was qualified and chosen one. The company give me immediate the offersheet and I was surprise about it.

Thank you for all the prayers and my prayers granted.

The moment has come.

Still here in the office preparing for my interview tomorrow. I wish and keep on praying that I pass the interview. I’m doing some research for interview tips and asking some of my friends/ office mate who’d work before in abroad especially in Middle East area. The agency give me a hint its  panel interview and most them are from the Ministry of Manpower, Deans of Colleges and Department Head who’ll conduct the interview.

Wish me luck, pray for me and help me God!

“Yes, I was born for you and you were born for me…”

It is the part of the lyrics Born for you by David Pomeranz. My ex girlfriend (now my wife) choose this song as our wedding theme.  I should say the message of the song is good and the tune. In fact, my wife also favorite singer( David Pomeranz).

During the preparation, we do have lots of things doing and considered such as the church, reception, motif, principal sponsors, secondary, visitors and etc.

What we do is we go on different wedding exhibits, searching tru net, asking some friends and etc. Read More

Read this on those who plan for their wedding/ wedding preparation. Here is my personal guidelines:

1. Wedding Date. Discuss it to your future wife/husband when would be the wedding day! so that you may make a early reservation/ schedule from the church.
2. Consider the budget. How much the all the cost of the wedding? It includes the budget for the church, receptions, foods, wedding gowns, your daily iterenary just as personal inquiries need a fare and other surprise expenses. Give yourself at least 8-12 months preprations.
   
   
3. Church Venue. In selecting a church it must be both near both party or depending on your personal choice. The availability of the wedding day coz You might encountered the wedding date and time were not available.
4. Who will be your Principal and Secondary Sponsors? In selecting the Principal Sponsor is someone close to you and must have a good family person. In case they can give you a very good advice about married life. They all act as a second parents. Secondary sponsor is someone related to you either your cousin and closest friends.
5. Couturier. If you have a huge budget you may go to a signature designer of your choice or if you want to save more of it try visit the Tutuban there are lots of RTW wedding dress or you may ask for a customize design of your choice.  The price standard package for groom, bride and to secondary sponsors depending on style and cloth be used.
6. Receptions. This is among the expensive ones. You need to plan how many guest you have to accommodate? The food package?  If you plan for a resto or hotel the place mostly it is package already, but if the situation is to choose a catering services the venue is separated, most of them give you an option to there partners venue.
   
7. Video/ Photo coverage. For a memory sake there must be a video/ photo coverage of your wedding. I suggest visit most of the wedding exhibit at the malls. Most of the exhibit give a huge discount and sometimes more freebies.
8. Wedding Preparation Venues. This is optional and last. If you may have a budget why don’t you spend a day you and you partner to a 3 star to 5 star Hotel.  This is commonly practice and most of them is very good ambiance for photo/ video shooting on the day of wedding.

Best wishes and hope this help.
