I chatted with a friend last week. I asked why he was online at odd times. He told me that he has been having temp jobs and that he is doing an IT job search at the moment.
One question led to another until I found out that he used to work with my brother-in-law a few months back. He even has a photo of them together. Talk about small world! Now my brother-in-law is in another IT company while he is in another country starting over.
A lot of IT professionals in this country are migrating to other more developed countries in search for the proverbial pot of gold. Some have it good while others do not find it.
Brain drain it is, as not only IT professionals who are leaving but teachers, doctors, nurses,engineers and other white collar workers too, in order to have a better and a more financially stable future for their families, even if they have to start over.

These words reminded me of that very short time I sent working as an Admin/Human resource assistant. Paperwork was boring. The tedious task of knowing the computer codes to use was a bit too much for me since the ones we used then were the old chunky machines, so unlike the netbooks that people use these days.
If perhaps I have a chance to go to this line of work again, I’m not sure I will enjoy doing paperwork more than the challenges I deal with at my present work.

One of the major causes of respiratory diseases or triggers of an allergy/asthma attack is air pollution. Ugh. It is a bad condition when one sees how much those who are affected suffer.
Smog is very apparent here in Mega Manila that every time we travel to work in the morning, the steel buildings in the business district where our workplace is located are not seen clearly until one is very near them.
I’m not kidding, see the photo below:
Never mind the traffic, now that is another sad story.
