A Lot Of Foods

Wow! That's weird! My blog post suddenly gone even if I saved it. What the h- just happened? I couldn't believe it myself. It''s more like the robot machine didn't like those words. It's not a foul language. It's just probably has something to do with combat.  lol Jokers!

Anyway, let us start again. 

Being a pharma medical representative to being a line cook here in Canada is surely a matter of perspective. Changing a career doesn't mean it is a demotion because there are many benefits to such changes. I know of a friend who was a doctor in Philippines turned fish gutters here in BC. The higher salary and benefits she is most proud of. It is an honorable job. It's hard work. Electrician turned janitor, textile industry specialist turned into store clerk/merchandiser/cashier. Caregivers turned into nurses.  Then here comes a CPA from Ayala who would rather be a nurse here in Canada and the rewards are greater. Higher pay-cheque, bigger opportunity. I worked there too in Ayala as an accounting clerk in a travel agency on OJT basis for short period of time. I hate staring at those numbers my vision suffers with millions of numbers. lol. Actually my job description is double checking those numbers are correct for income purposes. 

Look how wealthy MAKATI is the wealthiest city, highly competitive highly industrialized financial city in the Philippines. They have so many skyscrapers, shopping malls and arcades: SM Shoemart, Landmark, luxury hotels, famous restaurants and bars, famous shops such as Louis Vuitton Gucci, Benetton, LEVI'S, Cinderella, Fairmart, Via Venetto, Rusty Lopez where I bought my fabulous signature shoes made by Rusty, at first thought wondering why when people looked at my shoes with frightened disgust and whispered "Ahas!!!!!!" OMG! I didn't really know at first that the pair of shoes I bought was created with white snake skin leather! Oh my! I first thought it was a jacquard decor style of the shoes.
