The government of Canada issued 8,000+ visa's for Filipinos who would want to work in parts of the said country. Guest workers Visa were given as indicated in the labor agreement that was signed between Philippines and the 4 provinces of Canada namely Nova Scotia, Manitoba, British Colombia and Alberta. In the said agreement, Filipinos workers were not required anymore to secure recruitment fees and they will get the same benefits as with their Canadian counterparts. This does also give them the option of applying for "Immigrant" status in the future. This is great news for out new heroes, the OFW's. ^_^

8 Things About Myself... ^_^

MOMnificent, who's one of my friends and part of my Blog Roll tagged me and asked to list down 8 Things about myself.

1. I am a KUMAG, which means I'm a lil crazy kid inside. I always plan things so I could get what I want but if I can't I'd probably make HANDUSAY (go ballistic and roll on the floor) and still get what I want LOL.

2. I am a Filipino, inheritor of a glorious past and hostage of an uncertain future. My bloodline is of Spanish decent. I look fine. I'm a big guy with big guns (my arms are huge from working out lolz) I hate my beer belly every time I look at it lolz... I'll probably get them perfect washboard abs by next year! ^_^ I'm a gym rat.

3. I like my job. I work a lot, then workout at the gym, I blog, then play online games (cabal and RAN online) which comprises my daily routine. I only go out on weekends.

4. I have not incurred a single absence from my company since 2003. I went on a vacation leave a few times but never an absence. I haven't taken a single leave this year btw and am running for perfect attendance at work still ^_^

5. I love to dance, I go clubbing mostly on weekends with friends and go to the finest bars in the metro. My wifey loves to see me dance too... no matter how big I look lolz... I also sing... I can sing songs by women too lolz... I mimic voices and am not that too proud of my original voice. So I usually stick to other voices I could carry a tune with (on a range much like Kenny Loggins etc.)

6. I can't buy a car, because I lack parking space at home already ^_^ The van's too big.

7. I love watching Food Network shows... Barefoot Contessa, Giadda De Laurenti, Mario Batalli, Gordon Elliot, Bobby Flay... I know them all... I cook too... If I taste something I usually can cook them too... I usually know the ingredients once I get to taste em. ^_^ I'm getting hungry lolz...

8. My phone (a Nokia 6280) is also my friend, I usually text (use sms) about 200 times a day... and receive about the same amount from friends... or maybe more I lost count lolz...
