There’s a new name to watch on the US Figure Skating and it’s nice to hear that he’s Filipino. His name? Christopher Caluza, from San Diego and he is the only Filipino in the 2010 US National Figure Skating Championships placing 8th in the Jr. Men’s. Nice huh? I was watching this video on YouTube where he has a note that he hopes that his video gets to be seen in the Philippines. Well, I thought we’d do him a favor, so this entry.

Ang mga OFW na nagbabakasyon sa Pinas ay nangangailangang magbigay pugay sa templo (POEA) upang kumuha ng kaukulang dokumento na tinatawag na OEC. Ito ay clearance na hinahanap ng mga opisyales ng immigration bago ka palabasin at tuluyang paliparin sa bansang iyong pinagtratrabahuhan.

Another truly sad day in America. True, recession might be ending because the last quarter of this year will probably show another growth. If that happens, that would be 2 successive quarters of positive growth officially ending the recession.
The bad news? Employers are just reluctant to hire. And the meager recovery for the last quarter could be in jeopardy. The news said:

“The unemployment rate has hit double digits for the first time since 1983 — and is likely to go higher. The 10.2 percent jobless rate for October shows …

In New Orleans, I was on a hunt. Hunting for a Filipino store. That hunt would bring me to Slidell, Louisiana. Across the bridge, across the lake, on a very rainy day. I’m sorry, I lost my camera so I don’t have a picture of this Filipino store in Slidell. She told me that there was another Filipino store, right near the New Orleans Convention Center in the City.
So, one Saberdey, my goal was to find this Filipino Store in the heart of the city. I took out my hard-headed …
