Top 5 things an OFW need

This list is for all those aspiring to work abroad....


Trust me with this one..


5. Globe Kapamilya Sim

It's kinda expensive to use this one, you have to put in around 500-1000 worth of credits per month if you want to use this to be able to text your friends and family. If you're saying that i'm biased because i'm promoting globe. Well, it's not what it looks like. Because if you use the smart roaming sim, you won't be able to receive any calls. This is really important. No matter how much your friends and families love you, they wont be able to text you that often if you don't have this. 15-30 pesos per message is just too expensive. If you use this, they will be only charged a peso per message. Believe me, a simple text message from a friend or family member will really brighten up your lonely day.


4. Internet Access

This will help you in hooking up with people back home. There is wide array of applications which can help you connect with the people you love. You can use social networking sites such as friendster of facerbook. Or you can use skype or yahoo messenger for a more interactive method of talking to your friends or family members.


3. Hobby/Form of entertainment

No matter what your work is, i'm sure you will not work everyday. You will have rest days. You need something to keep you occupied during these days. I don't care what you choose. You just need to have one. Because if you just sit around your room the whole day, you will surely think of your freinds and family. That is a big NO NO! Have some fun, never ever let loneliness creep up to you.


2. New Friends

Socialize with the people around you. It's not that hard to find some friends. Being alone will surely result to loneliness and misery. Having someone there for you will really help you in adjusting to your new environment. No man is an island ( what a cliche.. hahaha!).

1. Courage!

I know that we are miles away from home. Away from everything and everyone which we love.
There will be times when we will be lonely because we miss our friend and families. But, but, but, you should remember that we left our homeland for a reason. We left in order to secure the future of our families. Always keep that in mind ! Never ever lose sight of your goal. Life away from home is hard. That is why you need courage in order to fight everything that life throws at you. Remember that GOD will be always at your side. And hey, PINOY tau, kahit ano kaya!


Hope I was able to help...
