Finally.. After so many weeks of planning of redesigning my blog now its has a new look. Well, what you know I did some additional plugins, adsense together with a simple and attractive theme and the result a whole new fresh looking blog.

The only things missing is the header and the favicon. I will try to work it out this coming week. But for now Im sleepy already and time for me to sleep. Gudnyt.

As I search for a new cellphone I found out there something new about Nokia, the Nokia 888 unit cellphone. They called it the future phone maybe on its unique style, it so thin,  flexible, you can wear it around your wrist, clip, bend, roll em up or stay at ease in a normal flat shape. Its at a concept stage for now, and  seems to be more fashionable item for the teens.

The designer of this phone is Chinese that is why given a name of “888″ means lucky number.

Seems pretty cool!

Oman! Oman! Oman!

Its almost 6 months already been here in Oman. I should say on my 1st time I arrived here is difficult. There are things you need to considered:

1. The place where you will live.
   Yes, first thing you will thing comes on your mind is where would be your accommodation? You cant sleep at the street of course. The company provided you a cash advance so you could look for  place to live in. Here in Oman mostly its not applicable to have a signage “HOUSE/ROOM FOR RENT”. If you know somebody to share much better, but, here we do have lots of Filipino community will help you to look for. Mostly of the Filipinos here were kind bcoz the pinoys here steel few you will see majority here were Indians and Pakistani. The range of the house here is 100-200 rials depending of there size, location and numbers of rooms.
2. Expenses you needed.
   Now after paying , giving advanced for the house/ room. Its now to buy things needed like food to eat, bed for you to sleep well, a aircon and etc. Were lucky here we have a store that we can buy things in deferred. Its located at the souk.  Souk means a market or palengke. The souk here is like Ongpin in the Philippines you will see varieties of stores like appliances, barbershops, fresh goods, live animals, jewels and etc. at very affordable price.
3. Change of weather .
   If you feel the Philippines were hot make it twice here in Oman. You cannot resist the hot weather here. For 6 months Ive stayed here Ive never experience a rain or a small drop of  rain. During  the time of 11am to 4pm the temperature is very hot. You will notice a few cars and people passing the road. Most of the establishment were also close and it will resume at 4pm t011pm.The first 3 months is quite critical once you surpass it .

Im sure everything become smooth and normal. Hope this help you guy.

Finally, Weve found a new house along the main road.

After the vacation and ever since Ive arrived in Oman were search for a new house… I should say the search is over. The new house is compose of 3 rooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 kitchen, 1 living room and stock room. I has also a 2 terrace in living room and in the masters room. The nicest things about the house is the location it is near the main road and near in stores and other business establishment thou the rent is quite expensive.

Thanks God!

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!.

A little trivia for Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Suvarnabhumi (pronounced “Su-Wana-Poom”) means “The Golden Land”.

Developing Thailand as the aviation and air transport hub of Southeast Asia is among the priorities set by the Royal Thai Government.

One of the ways this can be achieved is to develop Suvarnabhumi Airport to achieve the highest international standards, to ensure its support for the rapidly increasing air traffic demand corresponding to the need of aviation business worldwide. His Majesty the King has graciously conferred the name of �Suvarnabhumi Airport� which means the �Golden Land� and is located in Bang Phli District, Samut Prakan province, covering an area of approximately 3,200 hectares.

The Suvarnabhumi Airport, which is due to replace the overloaded and unexpandable Bangkok International Airport (Don Muang), is scheduled to open in June 2006. However, this date may be delayed until September 2006 for testing and validation by ICAO.

The ‘New Bangkok International Airport’ company was formed in 1996 but due to political and economic chaos it took six years for construction to start. The new airport has also been delayed countless times due to cost overruns and construction problems.

The new airport is located on a boggy, 3,100ha site in the Samut Prakarn province of Thailand at Nong Ngu Hao (translated as Cobra Swamp), 30km east of Bangkok. Construction of Suvarnabhumi Airport began in January 2002.

Don Muang will be relegated to domestic-only status when the new airport opens. Don Muang is currently the world’s 22nd busiest airport and the busiest in Southeast Asia, but it has already reached its full capacity at over 37 million passengers per year.

Suvarnabhumi will be able to cope with 30 million passengers per year when it first opens, a figure which will be increased to 45 million within a short space of time. Following further expansion phases, including two additional runways, it will cater for over 100 million passengers per year.

After a weeks of preparing things to be carried to Oman. Finally, I’m here. Thanks God for a very nice and safety trip. The things were not easy for me and also to my fellow 3 colleagues. Around 4pm in the Philippines were already on NAIA fora short briefing with our agency. I quite worried and nervous coz its my first time to ride an airplane . After the orientation and giving all our necessary documents like passport, plane ticket and etc. we go for check in of baggage and checking our documents.

We ride a Thai Airways, the plane and the service are really nice the steward crews are very accommodation and the foods are really good. The only problem we encountered is that are flight schedule of going to Oman is waiting time is too long. After 4 hours of trip going to Thailand, we need to wait  almost 1 day for the connecting flight going to Muscat, Oman.

As we wait for our connecting flight, us we rove around the whole airport of Thai Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok. I was pretty amaze of looks of that airport. Its very big, well facilitate and the wireless internet connections is so good.

2 thumbs up for Thailand!

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.

Moral Lesson
Pray hard it works- Mayor Echeverri

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!
