Life With The Friends

     Life to each other,once a months we meet.
A day of the week in a month  that's our day off (rest day)
Time also to break the daily (routine) works at home and caring elderlys.
We will go to church to pray giving us more strength,energy,patience for our works and always guide us before going anywhere.

         We are happy even worn sightseeing but we enjoy laughing to each other.
Regardless of whether we have problems aside beforehand.

        Go outside dressed in,eating,walks,outing and all the sights are always  present...
Occurs all this once a month in our off day then after back again to reality that's our life..."work for the family."

   THE FAMILY LIN
(MY second family in taiwan)

Lin Family are my second family here in taiwan.For eight years that they treated me as one of them family.
I started working with them to care for GRANDFATHER name LIN GOU RUNG(Akhong).
For the eight year i cared the father of the family LIN.
Initially hard to take care of grandfather its difficult to give him meal 3x a day and give medication.
      As caregiver and all around works I have suffered and I know i afford for my my family in philippines.
Even harder I never lost HOPE that the lord is always besides me and guiding me everyday.
The lord had just been given me back my strength,more understanding and more patiences in taking care of the elderly.
      In the first two weeks i care akhong(grandfather)That night i give his dinner with in two hours ended after i give him his medication.He refused to swallow the medicine every tasks such always.he suddenly....threw his glasses to me I'm mad at him.I restrained my self that lord help me and give me more patience to this old man.
     Months and Years passed with them...
Grandfather held true to my grandfather.
My boss my father and my mother and their 3 children my younger brothers.
They all kind to me so that i also them...
So every three years once vacation in the philippines.I also spend a month to my husband and my son and my family.
Always like that until i got eight years in caring for akhong(grandfather).Also eight years i suffered pain and lenght of patience,adding to the ages of a person weakend body especially in the elderly.

Selfish(An ofw share story)

OFW shares how her family in the Philippines called her 'makasarili'(SELFISH) for not buying them a car.

An OFW nurse who works in Canada received a hurtful message from her brother in the Philippines after she was not able to provide money for a new car.

- An OFW shared how her brother in the Philippines demanded for money to buy a car

- The OFW received a hurtful message from her brother, ranting about why she was not able to send money

- The OFW works as a nurse in Canada and lives there with her husband and children

One common reason why overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) risk working abroad is to provide for the needs of their family left in the country.

However, as OFWs make sure that their family in the Philippines are eating three times a day and the children are going to school, some family members tend to demand too much.

It is really tearful, especially if you or your family member is OFW.
Not all OFW's is selfish i think they just how steady a person for the future of the family.
OFW is not all that money the rich have any money earned due to the family.

Also it's worth mentioning that this story is a good lesson both for the overseas workers and for the members of their family.

The Life Of An OFW(Proud to be me)

Moments that i never forget in my whole life.
I start to work as OFW here in taiwan,Year 2003 i leave my only at the age of 3years old and my husband to work at taiwan.
Very painful for me to leave them but for our family i need to sacrifice for them.
One weeks two weeks 3 weeks 1 months i missed them so much especially my son.
I have suffered for my child's future,I do everything for him and for my family.
Many months and years passed homesickness until unawares complete the first three years contract.
Came the day returned to the PHILIPPINES,I told to my sefl i did not want to go abroad anymore I want to take care of my son.
So i stayed a year with my family but as i feel the hardships of life in   philippines without my husband job expect just a tricycle driver lack of daily.
So I decided again to leave a year and half year ago.
I need to work again gamble them away,all trials we were able....not today....
I think of them while they trained with homesickness.
So every three years on vacation in the philippines a month to be with the family.
The length of time working here in taiwan twelve years.
While still work....juat to fight against for the future of my family.

A Great Mother

A mother is the greatest mother
In the world.
Beginning in her womb
Few months the child cares
And sacrifices until birth.
All making the mother
Of the child for a bright future.
