Thanks for visiting this blog, i have new webpage, pls click on this link. 

The Biggest Energy Company in The World

Me, during our company event sponsored by our department.

If you have read my previous post, I have mentioned that I am currently connected with the biggest and the largest energy company in the world based in Saudi Arabia. I know you're curious about my company. Today - I'm going to reveal and share with you my company and the steps that I did, to be part of this one of kind company known as the most valuable company in the world.

Can you guess my company now? Yes you are right! I'm humbled to say that, I'm working with Saudi Aramco, the biggest oil and gas company in the world. Saudi Aramco was founded almost a century ago by the Americans. Today Saudi Aramco continues its legacy of being the number energy company in the world.

Saudi Aramco workforce is composed of almost 100 different nationalities coming from the four corners of the globe. Our workforce is very diverse that we are seeing and meeting with various nationalities in the office. Mostly professionals who wish to work abroad aimed to be part of this renown company. I'm glad to share with you the steps to apply a job in Saudi Aramco. Below are the tips and guidelines: 

Educational Background

Aside from work experience, you need to satisfy the company's minimum educational attainment. If you are a professional or going to work in the administration (office job), you need to have at least a degree to be qualified. Currently I am working in the administration and I have completed a four years degree in Communication Management. Without my degree, I wouldn't be qualified in the company. Therefore, it is of paramount important to get a degree first.

What about the skilled-workers, do they need a degree? If you are a skilled-worker applicant, a degree is not necessary, but a good plus factor. However, skilled-worker applicants requires more technical certifications obtained, longer or more work experiences, preferably not just five (5) years, possessed technical knowledge and expertise of its field.

Work Experience

Your work experience is by-far the most significant qualification when applying for a job in Saudi Aramco. The company is always in need of competent professionals and skilled workers who have at least or preferably more than five (5) years continuous working experience.

The company is looking for professionals in the various field of engineering, Information Technology (I.T), Medical, administrative supports, office staff, Aviation, Maritime and skilled workers/maintenance. Once you have at least five (5) or more than work experience then you are qualified to apply. Plus factor if you have work experience in oil and gas companies, although it is not really necessary.

International Related Experience

When I say international experience, this relates to your work experiences before internationally. In my case, before getting a job in Saudi Aramco, I have already a prior work experience here in the Kingdom.

What about if you don't have international work experience? Don't worry, because international work experience is really not necessary this is only an add-on to your qualification, but not mandatory. I have colleagues in the office who don't have international experience prior joining Saudi Aramco. 

Professional & Technical Certifications

Another x-factor that the company is looking for is your professional and technical certifications. Certifications proving your expertise in a particular field is very important, like if you have diplomas, short courses, training and seminars from a reputable training centers, agencies, institutes and government related vocational schools. This will add-ons to your qualifications especially if you are applying for technical and requires highly skilled professionals.

Communication skill (English)

Saudi Aramco employs almost 100 different nationalities around the world, if you are applying for professional (degree holders) jobs. At least you should have a good English skill and able to write, speak and understand the universal language.

What about the skilled-worker applicants, are they required to have good English skill? if you are in this line of profession, a basic English is enough (able to speak and understand) because most of the time you are in the field and your job does not require prolific English skill.

However, certain professions require above average or intermediate English skill, like my line of job, since I am working in the administration (mainly in the office), my English skill is above average since it is required in my profession assisting management and executives.

Are You Ready to Apply?  

If you think you have what it takes to apply for Saudi Aramco and ready to join the biggest oil and gas company in the world, then you're most welcome. Who knows! we'll be working together here soon and enjoy the overflowing benefits and compensation package. If you need further clarification on how to apply directly, please leave your comments below and i will be happy to assist you. 

How to Travel to Armenia from Saudi Arabia as a Filipino

Behind me is the monastery of Khor Virap (click image to enlage)

Thanks for visiting this blog, i have new webpage, pls click on this link. 

How I went to Armenia?

Among the most beautiful experience before getting old is traveling and exploring new countries around the world. Being a migrant worker here in the Middle East gives me so much opportunity to travel nearby countries.

Recently, I have visited Armenia from Saudi Arabia, to tell you. I'm not really familiar of this country at all. As it isn't very popular tourist destination, until recently, that I have seen YouTube videos of Filipinos traveling to Armenia.

I was curious by then and wanted to go on my own as well. Last June 2018 during "Eid" occasion, I have more than a week holidays. Instead of staying at home and doing nothing, I have decided to book a ticket going to Armenia.

I was very excited since this is my second country to visit after United Arab Emirates. Armenia is a country located in the border line between Europe and Asia (Eurasia), thus it's like the window to Europe. I got a ticket from budget airline based in Dubai since there is no direct flight from Saudi to Armenia.

Filipinos can visit Armenia by visa-on-arrival

The Yerevan Cascade, the City's iconic landmark. 

Depending on your nationalities you can visit Armenia through e-visa or visa on-arrival, being a Filipino I got the visa on-arrival. This minimize the hustle and lengthy procedures of getting tourist visa from the consulate.

It was afternoon when I arrived in Armenia from my flight Saudi-Dubai-Yerevan (capital city.) The flight is around 3 hours more or less, since I went on June, the weather in Armenia was perfect according to my preference. Playing around 20 to 30 degrees Celsius maximum during the day, suitable for excursion.

I stayed in the center of Yerevan City, the Republic Square, to avoid getting taxis whenever I need to go outside and explore the city. My hotel is very close to the hot-spots of Yerevan and everything I need is walking distance. Armenia is a small but beautiful country.

Everywhere you look around you can see green grassy mountain ranges, scenic terrains, fresh rivers and tranquil lakes. Armenia share Western and Asian cultures since it is along the border line between these two continents. Armenians are very kind and helpful, although its hard to find someone speaking English well.

Nevertheless they would try their best to assist and help you along the way, Yerevan is the capital city of Armenia. The city tells itself its thousands of years of history and tradition, ancient buildings and old edifice are still being used and preserved. Armenia is a country known as the first state adopted Christianity as its official religion.

No wonder why there are many medieval monasteries scattered all around Armenia dated hundreds if not thousands of years old. These magnificent monasteries became the most visited tourist attractions in Armenia. My trip will not be completed without visiting these historical landmarks.

Site seeing at Khor Virap Monastery

First stop, I went to Khor Virap, an Armenian monastery located in the Ararat plain in Armenia, near the closed border with Turkey, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) south of Artashat, Ararat Province, within the territory of ancient Artaxata.

The Khor Virap Monastery, among the most visited site in Armenia.

Seeing it personally brought me to the window of the history of Armenia and its rich religious culture. Inside the monastery there were devoted people praying and religious relics of Jesus Christ are displayed. 

The Khor Virap monastery is facing towards the majestic Ararat Mountain deemed as the resting place of Noah's Arch. Mount Ararat is considered as sacred by the Armenians and it's depicted in the country's national emblem. 

The view from the monastery is breath-taking, seeing the vast vegetation on the ground and the mountain ranges from afar makes me felt so relax.The night after my excursion, I head-off to the Republic Square to witness the dancing fountain. People from different ages gathered around the fountain and enjoyed the live show.

Exploring Lake Sevan, the most scenic place in Armenia

At Lake Sevan, the most scenic view in Armenia.

The following day, I decided to visit Lake Sevan, the largest lake in Armenia. The view from Lake Sevan, was by-far the most beautiful scenery that I have ever seen so far in Armenia. Standing atop in the peninsula felt so refreshing, I have never felt such surreal feeling, being a working professional, I'm most often stressed at work.

But my visit to Lake Sevan, truly helped me reset my mind and forgot all the stressors at work. I have spent a couple of hours in Lake Sevan trying to emerge into its tranquilizing beauty before heading back to the city.


Armenians' kindness and hospitality

The Republic Square of Yerevan, the City's main center.

Earlier on this blog I have mentioned that Armenians are very kind people, while we were having a city tour. We'd happened to meet a middle-aged man, he's name is David, he's originally from Armenia, but had an Australian nationality (immigrated) and now returning back to his homeland.

During and after the World War 1, the Ottoman government carried-out what would become the Armenian genocide. Killing roughly around 1.5 millions of Armenian people accordingly. The genocide resulted into the diaspora of million if not millions of Armenians around the world.

And Mr. David and his family are among of them, despite of being away from his homeland for so long, he'd never missed to return to his motherland. While I was chatting with Mr. David, I can see how happy he was being home again, the smile on his face, the glitter on his eyes and his sincerity reflects the true wonder of Armenia. He'd also invited me to try Armenian local food and toured me around the city prior my last day in Yerevan.

Indeed, my visit to Armenia is among the most memorable experience trip that I ever had so far, seeing this beautiful country, knowing its history and having to meet with the locals are truly an amazing opportunity. The happiness and the therapeutic feeling that I had while in Armenia is something beyond compensable, just a perfect getaway that I need to refresh myself from the hustle and bustle at work.

The Bad Side of Social Media

Thanks for visiting this blog, i have new webpage, pls click on this link. 

Who among you have social media accounts? How many social media platforms do you have? Have you used Facebook? Instagram? Snapshot? Whatsapp? Twitter? Viber? Messenger and the like? who can withstand in one day without checking his/her social media account? Can you deactivate or delete your social media account for good? Who can live without social media now?

The advent of social media is a breakthrough in today's younger generation, social media serves as the platform to express ourselves, to hear the unheard, to see the invisible, to empower the mute and to listen to story tellers. Can you imagine what the world like without social media?

Indeed, social media proves to be significant in the society we live in. However, the ultimate challenge is - how do you utilize social media, how much good and how much bad do you use it. Are you a responsible social media user?

Have you tried using it to flirt someone you like? Have you used it to stalk your crush? Have you used it to malign your enemies or neighbors? have you used it to talk to someone badly? have you used it to spread fraud and steal someone's financial account?

What kind of social media user are you? has social media distort or change your perspective in life? or has social media affects your morality? These are some of the questions that we need to figure out how social media affects our lives.

The word "media" defines as - "the collective communication outlets or tools used to store and deliver information or data. It is either associated with communication media, or the specialized mass media communication businesses such as print media and the press, photography, advertising, cinema, broadcasting (radio and television), publishing and point of sale."

In short "social media" are many forms of virtual platforms use to communicate, connect or interact with several others. Although social media was formed to benefits our lives, there are subtle side effects of social media that often overlooked by the users. Social media is not just a virtual form of communications, but a very influential tool to spread malicious, lies and fake news that triggers emotions.

So much consumption of social media interfere our being, changes our personality, and even promotes certain culture. The information most often shared on the social media are those of negative and poisonous content over the good ones. Being a social media user myself, I have seen many users on social media posting inappropriate content on their accounts.

In the Philippines, among the most popular social media platform is - facebook, almost all Filipinos have facebook account. People from different ages, educational background and status in the society avail facebook and use this platform for their personal interest or whatever it may serve them. While most of the people use it to communicate and connect with their families and friends.

There are those who misused and abused it or perhaps unaware of the proper etiquette in using social media.  Facebook becomes very accessible to everybody since it provides free data access to all. Facebook becomes the platform to showcase their activities or whatever they wanted to share on their friends list.

Some of my friends are posting their sentiments or personal problems that require personal solutions. Others are making facebook to air their grievances or to insinuate with someone whom they are not in accordance with. I remember one of my friends on facebook who are always posting her rants on facebook about her neighbors.

Whenever she hears something negative from her neighbors about her, she would immediately run towards facebook and retaliate with fierce and fiery shout out. Reading her post all the time about negativity really shrug me off. Until I decided to remove her from my friends list. These kind of situations should not be posted on social media as it does not really help.

In fact it will only add on to your problems as you are igniting more troubles in addition to allowing other people to know your dilemma. Believed me, not everyone in your friends list on facebook or social media are really your real friends.  Others are acting as spy on you, others just wanted to know your whereabouts, your status in life and your activities.

According to the recent study, only 1 percent of our friends on Facebook are really our real friends. Mostly are just acquaintances or someone you know from your common friends. Even the person who hated or dislike you may want to add you on facebook so he/she will be updated of your daily activities.

Therefore, it is always advisable to always think twice before sharing or posting on your social media account. Sharing too much information about yourself may pose a huge threat to your security and privacy.

Jobs in Saudi Arabia No Longer Offered for Expats

Thanks for visiting this blog, i have new webpage, pls click on this link. 

Planning to Work in KSA?

Are you planning to work in Saudi Arabia? Are you aware that there are a handful of jobs no longer offered for expats? If not, then let me help you then.

Saudi Arabia is among the richest country in the Middle East, the kingdom is the number one supplier of oil and petroleum products in the world, wherein majority of its revenue comes from. Until recently that oil price started to drop low which has drastically affected the country's economy.

To combat deficit and streamline the budget, the government has made changes of their policies including labor laws. Likewise, the kingdom is also planning to cut reliance on expat workers, thus there are certain jobs here which are no longer offered for expat workers, here are some of the jobs restricted only for locals now:

1. Watch shops

2. Optical stores

3. Medical equipment stores

4. Electrical and electronic shops

5. Outlet selling car spare part

6. Building material shops

7. Outlets selling all types of carpets

8. Automobile and mobile shops

9. Shops selling home furniture and ready  made office materials

10. sale outlets of ready made garments

11. Children clothes & men's supplies

12. Household utensils shops and pastry shops.

13. Mall jobs

The above aforementioned jobs will no longer be offered for expat workers to give way and help their unemployed citizens. There are still plenty of job descriptions which are reserved only for Saudis not mentioned on the list above.

I recently went to one of the popular malls here in Al-Khobar Saudi Arabia, I was surprised seeing no expat workers in the shop. When I asked one of the locals salesman, "where are the expat workers here?" he replied, "they have already went exit Sir, because of the localization program."

Therefore; if you are planning to work here, it is important to understand and know your job positions prior moving to KSA. Knowing the restricted jobs will help you not being caught and not ending up going back home.

The Most Beautiful White Sand Beach in Davao Oriental

Thanks for visiting this blog, i have new webpage, pls click on this link. 


Mati Davao Oriental 

Do you like swimming in a white sand beach? Are you aware that apart from Boracay there is a beautiful white sand beach in Davao Oriental? Have you heard of Mati City? Or their beach Dahican? if not, then let me take you there.

A local surfing in the waves of Dahican beach. 

During my vacation in the Philippines I had the chance to visit and explore Mati City, the place where I was born. I was very excited to see this place knowing that I was born here, but never had the chance to see it personally since my parents left and transferred to Cagayan de Oro when I was a child.

Mati City is the capital city of Davao Oriental, the city is evolving and growing rapidly for the past couple of years. My visit there was not really intentional, perhaps it was done out of my impulsive decision. I have never been in this place in my entire life although I was born here. Until recently, I have seen videos on national TV programs featuring Mati City.

I love Mati, the city's park is along the shoreline. 

Travelling to Mati from Cagayan de Oro 

Mati City is situated along the coastal region of Davao Oriental and the city is famous with their white sand beach. How to reach Mati City from Cagayan de Oro City? It was indeed a very long trip since I came from Cagayan de Oro. To start, you  need to get on a bus from CDO to Davao City which will take you around 7 to 9 hours drive.

White sand beach at Dahican. 

And from Davao City you need to get on another bus going to Mati City, the trip is around 4 hours more or less. Arriving Mati City, we have no idea what to do since we are not familiar of the place. There is no taxi in the city, but they have "rela" an improvised motor vehicle which will take you around the city. Our first destination is there popular "plaza or park," we went off there and took a couple of pictures.

The beach is perfect for surfing as well. 

The park is just along the shore where you can see a couple of islands facing the city. It was midday when we got there and there were very few people around the park. After exploring the park we decided to find a place to stay and since we are clueless of the perfect place to chill. We decided to go directly to Dahican beach, which is very popular among tourists.

Dahican Beach A Popular Tourist Destination 

Dahican beach is about 10 to 15 minutes drive by "Rela" since there are no taxis in the city, before going to Dahican beach you need to agree and bargain first with the driver. Usually the fare is only 30 pesos per person, beyond that do not go or find another driver. Better to tell the driver the fare is only 30 pesos to avoid being duped.

The resort where we checked in, in Dahican beach. 

There are too many resorts in Dahican beach it's up to you to choose, we decided to check-in to the most expensive resort in Dahican. It was few days before Christmas when we went there; thus there were no much tourists at that time. In fact, we are the only people checked-in the resort. After checking-in, we immediate went to the beach just a  few meters away from our room. 

Dahican beach is similar to that of Boracay, the water is very clear and blue, the sand is fine and white. From Dahican beach you can see mountain ranges from afar, there are too many coconut trees along the beach. Dahican beach is not only good for swimming, but as well as for surfing. A medium size of waves come along every now and then a couple of surfers also went there to enjoy surfing on the waves. 

The day we arrived in the resort. 

Unfortunately, due to the impending super typhoon, we only stayed there for one day and need to head back to Davao City for safety. The next morning we packed up our things and waited for the vehicle to bring us back to the bus terminal. Our stay in Mati was very short, yet we really had a great time at Dahican beach. I would love to go back there soon 

Dahilayan The Best Adventure Park?

Thanks for visiting this blog, i have new webpage, pls click on this link. 

Philippines Beautiful Country

Have you ever been to Dahilayan Adventure Park? Have you ever tried their zip-line considered as the longest in Asia? If not, then this blog would be your guide there.

Philippines is indeed a beautiful country with beautiful people, Filipinos are known for being very hospitable and accommodating. Philippines is not only home of the friendliest people in the world, but as well as it has overflowing with wonderful scenery and amazing nature.

During my vacation in the Philippines my home country, from Saudi Arabia, I had the chance to visit and experience this popular tourist destination. Almost everyone that I knew had once visited there including my friends and family members. But being an overseas worker, I never had the chance of seeing it personally.

Unplanned Trip

It was an unplanned trip, after all there is a maxim that says "the best trips are those unplanned." It wasn't really our intention to go there, perhaps we were at the mall at that time shopping. After buying some stuff in the mall, I invited my family to probably take me to Dahilayan since I have not been there at all.

Of course they agreed and very excited to show me the place. We drove our car from Cagayan de Oro City going to upland in Manolo, Fortich, Bukidnon, where Dahilayan is located. Going there by your car is around an hour drive depending on the traffic on the road.

midday when we went there, the sun was up ,bright and shining, perfect for excursion. Going there is a fun adventure itself, upon reaching Bukidnon, you will see beautiful scenery along the road, like the vast pineapple plantation of Del Monte Philippines. And since the place is highland the air is cold and fresh.

Barangay Dahilayan

Dahilayan Adventure Park is located uphill in Barangay Dahilayan, thus it is name after its location (Dahilayan) in Manolo, Fortich Bukidnon. The trip is comfortable since 95% of its road is cemented except a few meters bumpy and puddled road. More or less you will not feel it especially if you are using larger vehicles like pickup or SUVs.

Manolo itself is a very relaxing place, mostly of the people living there are employees and dependents of Del Monte Philippines, Del Monte used to be an American company established a couple of decades ago. This company sells processed pineapple canned goods worldwide and Bukidnon is the perfect place for pineapple planting due to its chilly weather.

Wonderful Place to Visit

Upon reaching Dahilayan I was mesmerized with the view and its location. The place is cold with fresh clean air. It was December break and that the park was full of people from all over the Philippines. Hundreds of cars were parked outside, and people kept on arriving even late in the afternoon.

A couple of foreigners were also in there visiting the place, indeed it is a place of solace, serenity and peacefulness. There are many various rides you can try on like the longest zip-line in Asia, drop-off zone, ATV and many more fun activities. Since it was already afternoon and that I decided not to try their rides anymore, but just enjoyed the moment and its view.

It is a very family friendly adventure park, kids from all ages would really enjoy their activities. Likewise, for photography enthusiasts as there are too many wonderful sceneries where you can capture the moment with. They also have a decent restaurant and hospitality services.

The place is covered with huge pines trees as if you were somewhere outside the country, at dawn and in the morning the entire park would be foggy and cloudy. Dahilayan is a great place for honeymooners and newlyweds too, wanting adventure and homey experience. It is a place designed for everybody looking for solace and tranquility, away from the hustle and bustle in the city.

It's a must place to visit when you are in Cagayan de Oro city, a place you will never wanted to leave, i cant wait to go back there soon. 

How To Learn English For Free By Yourself & Land A Job Abroad?

English is a Universal Language

A black cat staring at the camera while i was walking down 

the corniche in Al-Khobar City. 

Do you want to learn the English language? Do you want to be able to speak fluently like native English speakers? Do you want to standout with your communication skill among the crowd? If your answer is “yes.” Then, this post is the right one for you.

Undeniably, English is considered as the universal language now a day, people from different countries and nationalities are trying to learn English. Reasons of studying English may include for employment, immigration, business or simply having an edge on their communication skill. 

Some people even enroll themselves in a training

centers or prestigious universities just to study and learn English, others go to Europe and United States to get first hand English training and paid a hefty amount of money. However, little is known that you can hack English by yourself without costing a penny. 

Based from my personal experienced, learning English by yourself is not really difficult if you have the patience and determination to learn the language. Here are my secrets of learning English by myself:

Top 5 Hacks in Learning English by Yourself:

A curious parrot posing for a selfie. 

Reading Dictionaries – Before being able to speak English fluently, first and foremost you must have thousands of vocabularies stored in your head. This is the first foundation of starting to learn the language. You must be able to identify the English word of every single thing around you, from the anatomy of your body, to the items inside your household, offices or whatever it might be, as far as your sight could reach. You need to know their English word and translation.

Take note: you will NEVER be fluent in one language without having to identify almost everything that surround you. And that reading the dictionary is the best way to gain more vocabularies; I remember when I started reading and memorizing the dictionary, that was when I was in first year high school & even until now i still have the time to read dictionary.

Watching English Movies – Another very effective way to learn English is - by watching English movies, the dialogues and conversations in the movies are very helpful for you to learn English. Watching movie is like watching the native English speakers themselves talking in their language.

While I was starting to learn English I had never failed to watch English movies and try to copycat the dialogues or even write it down in my notes. There are certain sentences which are quite difficult to make by yourself, but you could learn it from watching English films.

Read English Paragraphs or books daily – Aside from reading dictionaries to gain vocabularies, you need to read English books in a daily basis too. You don’t need to be particular what kind of books for as long as it is written in English – a magazine, a newspaper, science books, kids story books or whatever that something which has English word in it. Reading it daily helps you familiarized a lot of words and phrases which are commonly used in English.

Be With English Speaking Friends – You don’t really have to find a native English speaking friends; what I mean with “English speaking friends” are your common friends who have the same passion in learning English.

Believed me, this is among the most effective ways to learn the language. Back in my college days, I had a reputation of being an “English spoken” as I oftentimes speak English in the college even I am along with my local friends. After all there were no foreigners in our college at all lol.

As a matter of fact, I have befriended my college instructors who became my best buddy in speaking English. I could never forget one of my instructors in college who was as well like me, loved to speak English he was Mr. Reynaldo Pines.

Be Confident – This advice is not about watching or reading English text, this is the soft skill that you need - to further learn and apply the English language in your daily life. Once you have all the prerequisites to learn English, you must have the self-confidence to use the language. Don’t be afraid or scared to speak English in-front of your friends, colleagues or classmates.

Others may find it weird when we are speaking English with our local friends, don’t mind those people around you. Remember, you cannot please everyone– so just be yourself and think on the long run. Don’t ever be discouraged when they make fun of you while practicing the language. Many people failed to learn English mainly because they are afraid of criticism and what others will say. 

English Helps Me Land Career Abroad

A solitary bird picking for food on the ground. 

Are you still interested to learn English? Just to give you a heads up, if you are planning to work abroad soon, having a good English skill is very essential. As a foreign worker myself here in Saudi Arabia, our medium of communication in the office is mainly English. If you have read my previous post about my company, I am currently connected with the biggest energy company in the world.

This company was established by the Americans and employing around 80 different nationalities and to communicate effectively with those multinational colleagues, you need to have at least a good English skill. You don’t need to be perfect, but at least being able to convey your message across.

I strongly believed that my English skill is one of the reasons why I have been hired by the biggest companies in the world. Prior joining this company I used to work as Admin Manager, in an international I.T company also based in the U.S, without a good English skill I wouldn’t have been hired by these companies.

I was extremely grateful for my hard-works back on those days that I started to learn English, I have spent thousands of hours reading and memorizing English words. It was too exhausting, but I loved it because I knew I would reap the benefit in the future someday. And here I am enjoying the abundance of its benefit working with gigantic companies.

I hope this post inspires you to improve and learn English as well, who knows you might be the next one will reap its benefit. You don’t really need to study in an expensive university or training centers, just follow the aforementioned hacks the same way I did, good luck.
