Bisdak Babbles

I’m actually employed by a staffing company, and I was sent to the current company almost a couple of months ago.   So far, I like the people, the team leads, and the projects. When I got in together with other Filipinos, we were told that the contract would only be for two months, but there was a big chance for a contract extension until March next year. There was even a time when we were asked if it’s OK for us to work until 11PM everyday because it’s gonna get very busy.

Then recession became worse, and I think some projects were canceled. Last week, our leader told us that our (another Filipino colleague and I) contract will end this month.  So, by Friday this week, I’m gonna pack my stuff again and move out of the office.  Well, I’m gonna look forward to another batch of interviews again.  With the current economic situation, I hope our manager could manage to get at least one…

My father had always loved electronics, especially audio and video electronics.  When he first went to Saudi Arabia to work, he bought that what we called a “component”.   That audio gadget, along with its two huge music boxes and about a dozen parts is still at home.  He loved to sing, so when that karaoke machine came out, he also bought one.  Then came the CD player, then DVD player, he bought home these stuffs, too.  He so loved singing that he also bought a videoke machine.  He even took home a home theater before I even heard about it.

My mother always told him that he’s just wasting money but I just loved helping my father out setting up all those stuffs.  But I loved it more when I see him enjoying those things he bought.  I loved to hear him sing his heart out.  I really miss my father. Anyway, I’m a little bit worried about all those things he left us.  Among us siblings, my father knew trusted me to take care of his things.  When I have the chance to go home, it’s one of the things I must do…
