Ash Wednesday

Yesterday all Christian celebrated Ash Wednesday this is the sign that holy week is coming. Ash Wednesday gets its name from the practice of placing ashes on the foreheads of the faithful as a sign of repentance. As the priest says this line while placing the ash in the forehead “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.” The ashes are made from the first burns palm from last years palm Sunday mix with holy water that has been blessed. The ash in the forehead is a sign of being sorry for the things that we have done wrong and get relieve forever. Some of my colleagues went to the church around 6:30 in the evening to follow the Christian faith which is Ash Wednesday. Me? *sigh* I didn’t go with them because it’s my duty that time. But I got also an ash in my forehead one of my colleague told the priest that can you blessed some ash for those Christian who are not here. Even though I’m not inside the church I accept the ash and I will just pray by myself and talk to God about my sins.

My UAE ID Card

I got already my UAE ID card in just two weeks, one of my batch mates still waiting for there UAE ID card. I received a mailed letter from the Emirates Identity Authority for my identity card. I have some questions in my mind, how important this card here in UAE? And as I read the mailed letter, they said this line “This card shall provide you with high level of security and performance owing to its high-tech characteristics that guarantee the protection of your privacy. It helps in easing the process of obtaining Governmental and non-Governmental services in the near future.” BE YOU in the UAE! Ohsss really? Hehehe we’ll just see!

Fresh Fish

Last Tuesday beth, kuya joy and I went to the sea side to buy some fresh fish we wake up 7:00 o’ clock in the morning. As we walk through the sea side area whew we breathe the fresh air and we felt the coldness of the air and that time it’s too windy. As we arrived the fish boat are there already and they just gather the fresh fishes in the net. When the fish gathered on the net all of them jumping trying to escape to the net, one of the fish I caught and still breathing I feel pity to the fish when I catch it I threw it back to the sea water hehehe. When the fisherman finished gathered all different kind of fishes and some squids. One of them segregated the squids to the fish because of the black ink they provide I don’t know exactly the term for that ink color for the squid harharhar. We bought the fish for 10dhs and 25dhs for the squid. When we go back in our way beth saw a dead turtle I told her to take picture on it, and kuya joy told us he will bring the dead turtle to his room and preserve it. As we arrived in our room beth and I cleaned the fish and we grilled some of them for our brunch hmmm so yummy and delicious if you grilled fresh fish with matching chili sauce on it. Here are the pictures that beth took.

UAE ID Card

Emirates Identity Authority (EIDA), a federal government organization created a single national identity card for the UAE nationals, GCC citizens living in UAE and other UAE residents. Instead of having all multiple identity cards like driving license, work permits, employee cards and passports; they made this UAE ID card good for as one valid ID card. The validity of the UAE ID Card is as follows: You must be either a UAE national, a GCC citizen working or residing in the UAE or a UAE resident and above 15 years of age. The card is valid for lifetime for nationals (with renewal every five years) and validity for other residents depends on the validity of the visa. However, the same card can be used, once the residence visa is renewed.

For the workers no need to worry about the payment because the employers must bear the cost of the national ID card for their workers, according to labour officials. “Under the labour law, employers must bear all charges for governmental transactions for their workers,” an official explained. “The ID card will eventually replace the labour card whose cost is borne by the employer.” UAE ID card is mandatory for all the UAE residents and for those residents living in the UAE who don’t have the new cards by the end of 2010 will be considered illegal. And their employers will be penalized.

So in that case our management brings us by batch to the Emirates Identity Authority office in Fujairah to register our names there. We went their last Tuesday that was January 27, 2009 around 9:00 o’clock we are 15 all in all in the first batch of employees. But so sad to heard that we will pay the fee charge of that UAE ID card the payment will be charge in our salary. As I read this law can I tell our management about these things? Or no need because I know they knew it already they just need their employees to shoulder the burden instead of them. What is this? *sigh*

Annual Staff Party

Last January 18 we had our annual staff party and the venue for our party is in the Ocean View Bar one of our outlet in our Hotel *sigh* how cheap hehehe. The party started around 12 in the midnight why midnight? Because that’s the time all of the staff finished their duty harharhar. The party is quiet okay I enjoyed a little bit the food is great the Chef knows well our taste hehehe. The management also prepared for a raffle draw for all the staff. Unfortunately hehehe my precious name wasn’t called for the raffle draw better luck next time Charisse harharhar. My two room mate was luck that day their name was called one received MP3 player and the other got a MP3 speaker. We also have a presentation through nationality Filipinos, Indians and Bangali. These nationalities did their best to show their talents to the staff party. And of course we Filipinos did the best presentation among other nationalities proud to be Pinoy.
