Most of the 'kabayans' who come here only hold visit visas then pass around CV's to look for work. Some find their dream job and some settle for what's available but some don't find anything, so back to our homeland they go.
Once you get settled, and flight expenses have been paid (most of the time, money for flight tickets are just borrowed), living in Dubai can be considered a sweet paradise, especially during the months of October to March.
The combination superb friends, cool places to go, and a variety of good food can add a great deal to someone's overall body mass. In fact, I know some people who doubled their waistline after living in Dubai for just a few months.
Life in Dubai is enjoyable but I can also enumerate reasons why I don’t like living here. To make it more appealing I will even make a poem about it...
It is hard to find isaw and balot is so expensive.
There is halo-halo for sale, but I don't buy 'coz it's not attractive.
Sisig is available but it's just always beef or chicken.
If I ever get to eat lechon, it is not roasted but baked in the oven.
But food not really my problem, there are lots of dishes to compensate.
Missing special family occasions is actually what I truly hate.
My parents' anniversary, I just missed last Thurday,
And today my heart yearns to give my Dad a hug for Father's Day.
I love you so much Pa! I hope you read this.
To all the Dads all over the world, Happy Father's Day and God bless!
