Money is not matter, still you can see the world...


I really have no idea when I entered into this kind of industry – Offshore/Maritime but still the same position as been before, Admin work. At first, I am hesitant to apply for the job opening back in Manila thru Phil. Transmarine Carriers, Inc. To make a long story short, now I’m here experiencing the beauty of God’s creation from the middle east and now employed at Technip UK which vessels sailed on North Sea and other parts of International waters . Of course before working at sea you have the opportunity to visit and see the country where the vessel is standing by or in some instances you will fly to the nearest heliport the vessel is working with. The opportunity to ride from your local transport to International airways to helicopter and onto the vessel. That’s it you are tired for a long journeys especially if your from Asian countries like Philippines.

From Edinburgh Scotland where we berthed we sail for 2 days in transit to Halden, Norway and after the long journey at sea we find the place Norway as a lovely and really fascinating place to go. As we enter the water border of Norway and Sweden you will find the huge pine trees and mountains and a lovely houses seaside. The place is so cool. As of this writing, I can’t wait to go out but due to instrict rules of the private port we berthed walking or bike riding is prohibited and you need to take a taxi from here to downtown. I hope in due time we may be able to go out from here or waiting for another time on demobilisation as we unload all the equipment that we used. You know I envy those seafarers who work at Cruise Ship specifically in Royal Carribbean International where they really see the world in over 260 worlwide destinations.
As they say, “Money matters, for you will be able to see the world,” which is applicable for the rich and famous, dignitaries, millionaires and the like. But thank God for the work I fit into and the opportunity to work in an offshore environment.

Money is not matters if you have a passion and longing to see the world. Just look for an opportunity to work with Maritime or Airline careers. Do you know that in a big cruise ship alone they employ more than thousands of crew? From galley workers to information/desk/service dept. to casino, medical and IT dept. bar, recreation, deck, engine, hotel crews to name a few. Seeing the world will not cause you a lot of money, but exciting career and the opportunity to work and mingle with different people around the world. So the next time you want to change for a career why don’t try for something you yourself can see the world and experienced the high paying job.

RECEIVING THE OVERFLOW

TODAY’S SCRIPTURE
“...we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance”
(Psalm 66:12, NIV)



TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
Friend, no matter what your circumstances may look like today, God’s plan is to bring you through to a place of abundance. He wants you to have an abundance of peace, an abundance of joy, an abundance of resources — He wants you to overflow with His blessings so that you can be a blessing to the people around you.

One thing I’ve learned is that if you want to live in the overflow of God’s blessings, you have to have an attitude to receive the overflow. Remember, as a believer in Jesus, you are a child of the Most High God. Royal blood is flowing through your veins. You were not created to be average. You were not created to barely get by and drag through life. You have seeds of greatness on the inside. You are well able to do whatever God has called you to do!

Today, I encourage you to put your shoulders back, hold your head up high and start thinking like a victor. And when you’re a victor, you know that any adversity in your life is not permanent, it’s temporary. Have the attitude to receive the overflow of God’s abundance. Keep believing and keep expecting because it’s just a matter of time until He turns things around in your favor!



A PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, today I open my mind and heart to You. I choose to believe that You have a good plan for me. By faith today, I receive the blessings You have for me so that I can be a blessing to others. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

— Joel & Victoria Osteen

ANG PUERTO

Dito sa Puerto kay daming barko
Nakakatuwang pagmasdan kung ika’y bago lamang
Ibat-ibang laki at ibat-ibang kulay
Sa dagat ay kay gandang pagmasdan

Ba’t ba ako lamang ang tanging nagagandahan
O dahil pagod lamang ang mga tauhan
Sa maghapong pagtatrabaho sa bagong proyekto
Kaya’t sandali lamang, kami dito sa Puerto

Sa aking paglalakad maraming taong nasilayan
Dito sa Aberdeen sentro ito ng komersyo
Ngunit aking napansin pagkakaiba sa Edinburgh
Dito ay kulimlim at madaling dumilim

Sa Edinburgh na mas maganda at historical pa
Laging may araw, lugar ay kay inam
Ngunit ang puerto rito tambayan ng barkong walang trabaho
Kaya’t ang makikita mo, lugar ay parang abandonado
