Im in the Crisis

I might be in the greatest crisis so far in my life. This May will be my 5th year in Dubai and I don’t get any sense from it.

I am still a bellboy. No salary increase, no promotion, tips are getting lower and lower each day. I get jealous of all my batch mates who are now doing well. My pride is killing me.

My family still dependent on my support and I don’t see any help from them in return. My brother whom I send for 4 years in college gets married and had a baby girl. What more disappointing is he and his wife are staying in my Mom’s house.

The material things that I bought intended for my family were pawned, other were send to my older brother’s house in exchange of an amount of money (lesser the value at far) which was used for the hospitalization of my nephew. My mother doesn’t even bother to tell me.

My youngest brother whom I send in school for 2 years now is asking money as if I get it very easily. His need is endless. He email me for his project deadlines and financial requirements, he don’t even give me updates of how his study is going on.

My social life is so low. It’s my choice because I don’t want to spend. I don’t go out with friends because automatically, expense will follow. And my family especially my mom is thinking that I always go out for party.

I’m in the crossroad now. Staying in Dubai might be the best option as of now but staying in the company where I am currently employed is not. I have to do something. I have to move on, I should grow.

God help me….

Welcome Me Back!

Oh! It’s been a while.

I was absent on my page for ages but it doesn’t mean though that my fingers are not working anymore, they were just busy on something else. You know! A man thing, hehehe!

Anyway, just to give you updates on the latest that made me smile this weekend. 1st, I had a high-tea at Burj Al Arab last Thursday with my boss and a movie marathon with my friends the following day. We watched Ice Age 3, National Geographic’s Bermuda Triangle, The Hitcher, Beowulf, Bridge to Terabithia, and Confession of a Shopaholic.

High Tea in Burj Al Arab will cost you Dhs 370 or Php 4,500. I was just so privilege that I had this opportunity for free although some guests on the place where not so happy when we arrived. They stare at us like tigers hooking their prey. Hmmm…. Don’t care at all! I don’t even bother to look at them in response. They are just arrogant, insecure, sad people on this world that regardless of their wealth, smiling to them is a task that is why they look like monsters. You can’t smile on monsters right?

The movie marathon was free as well. My friend Paul lends me his collection of movies that were downloaded from the internet, heheheh! Of course, cans of soda and some packets of chips will not make you poor so indulge with it while watching.

Well, my mobile phone alarmed! Its time for me to work now.
