Japan to hire 30 skilled workers from Negros

Good morning everyone. Japan will be hiring 30 skilled workers from Negros. This will mean a lot to all people there. They saw the kindness of Japanese government for helping pilipino people. It will be a great help to those 30 skilled workers who will be chosen.


SOME 19 Japanese contractors will hire 30 skilled workers from the province of Negros Occidental.


Kunimori Saito, training consultant of the Multi Contractor Cooperative (Marucon), said they came to the Philippines, especially Negros, to hire Filipino skilled workers such as carpenters and masons, among others.


Saito said 50 companies from Japan gathered together to hire skilled workers from the Philippines.


He added that for the last five years, they already sent almost 500 Filipino skilled workers to Japan. Last year, they hired almost 62 Filipino skilled workers.


Yoshitaka Kukuminato, president of the Philippine Japan Technical Skills Development Association, said since the day of the hiring, they already received almost 150 applicants from Negros Occidental with 30 of the applicants to be chosen.


Marucon conducted a screening selection Sunday from among the 150 applicants. The lucky 30 would be finalized today.


He said they prefer to hire Filipino skilled workers because they are competitive and hardworking compared to other workers from Asian countries.

Kukuminato said despite the global economic crisis, they would still continue training Filipinos to be sent to Japan, a country that is also affected by the recession. - Sunstar

A Sweet Smile


A smile that is sweet,
Is a good thing:
It heals you sadness,
It removes your sorrow.

Naggers (2 of 2)

Sometimes the differences are wonderful since they fulfill one’s needs. But there are also times when the differences become flashpoints. Times when a meeting of the minds just isn’t possible. Again, unless the matter at hand will seriously disrupt the relationship, strong couples come to the conclusion that it isn’t worth fighting about and agree to disagree.

Not so with couples who do not have the same level of love. They hold to their respective positions come what may. They say that they do so as a matter of principle, even if it means sacrificing a measure of peace and harmony in the process. They have not learned to dance with the music that they don’t like.

Happy couples understand the meaning and importance of compromise. And they accept that any compromise will call for adjustment, adaptability and consequently, change. Change that might not be of their liking, but change that is necessary in order to keep the fires of their love burning brightly. And because they value their love so dearly, they accept change wholeheartedly even if it hurts. They put their pride in their pocket and show a measure of humility as they submit to the compromise agreement.

You don’t see this in lesser relationships. Spouses would rather remain entrenched in their ways rather than give an inch. And if and when they do bend, they do it with a scowl and a heavy heart that clearly says, “I give in, but I hate it.” This isn’t something that promotes love.

Loving couples do as little as they can do disrupt their relationship and everything in their power to enhance it. And they do this on a 24-hour basis. Always alert, always attentive. Their love demands it. –

Naggers (1 of 2)

Good morning everyone. I just remember what my friend told me before about her mother. She told me how her mother nagged her father. She saw how they fought when her mother talked a lot. Sometime, when you nag a person, it helped. The person who was nagged realized the mistakes. But most of the time nagging is just that start of the fight.

Couples whose love has withstood the test of time and emerged happier and more meaningful than ever have a way of dealing with each other’s bad habits. They don’t nag because they have seen the futility of it all.

Naggers usually have right on their side. It’s difficult to argue with them, so they usually win the battle. Sadly, however, they rarely win the war. This is because the one nagged doesn’t listen and tunes out. This is why the nagger has to keep nagging endlessly. Her (or his) yakking is as ineffectual as water off a duck’s back.

Solid couples understand that nagging gets nothing done, but only exacerbates matters. They find other ways to bring about change. They cajole, compromise and gently prod. And often, unless the situation is serious, they simply keep silent and learn to live with it. After all, they know and accept that their love is imperfect and that this is one of those imperfections that comes with the whole package.

Look at couples whose marriages are not going well. Though the nagging is clearly ineffective and damaging to the relationship, they go on doing it. They are like the kamikaze pilot intent on destroying even if it means blowing oneself up.

Which brings me to the next strength that is somewhat similar. Strong couples agree to disagree. The reason why they were attracted to each other in the first place is because they are different.

Message of Butterflies' Wings

Good morning friends. I just remember when I’m still young, I just love to see a butterfly specially when she is resting on a flower. I wonder how why she love to rest on it. I ran to the butterfly and try to catch it. The butterfly just flew away. It rested again on another flower. It is sucking the nectar of the flower. When I look at its pretty wings, it folds its wings when it rests. And it opens its wings when it flies. I asked myself why butterflies did that. There are times in our life we experience a situation even we don’t want, but in every situation God is always in our side and He will always care for us as we least expected.

At that point, I was pondering whether there was justice from heaven that allows such tragedies to happen. But, even in my desperation, I knew that i wanted to believe in God and His love. So prayer is the one that ease my feelings. I fervently prayed every day especially before I went to bed.

I asked for a sing with butterflies, although I hadn’t heard of butterflies signifying the soul or spirit. I sometimes even asked for specific colors—blue, yellow and green butterflies.

My agony of being alone without someone on my side just passed. I was very heartbroken, and remained under. I doubted now if I have really lost my faith in God had He not done so, but I am more certain at that point of His love.

I believe now that He loves me more than I do ever love myself. And I also know that He loves me for He answered my prayer in my hour of need. He ended my suffering for being heartbroken. And I’m really grateful for what He did. I praise Him so much. I love you God!

One word can change everything . . . THANKS. (3)

I stayed there and sleep at the hospital. I was there in the room of my mom when she was brought first before she brought to the ICU. My sister still stayed at the ICU. She was allowed to stay there as she is a doctor. That night I was sitting on a chair and think a lot. I know that my mom even if she was in coma, was in bad pain. But for me, I can’t allow that the respirator be pulled out of her. I want my mom to live more, to live longer. I prayed a lot to God that He take care of my mom and remove all her pain, open her eyes, and get well. I beg a lot to my God about it. I can’t hardly look at my mom with her situation. I cried a lot there in that room as I am alone and my sister was with my mom. I didn’t know that time that I fell asleep.

My sister woke me up by holding my shoulder. I thought I was dreaming that time. She asked me to go with her. We went to the ICU. And then I saw my mom without a respirator and her eyes close. I smiled that time because I thought she got well. Why sister told me, “Mom is dead.” I came near her fast and hug my mom. I cried so much, as I didn’t saw my mom still breathing even only because of the respirator. Then my sister told me that I should go back to the room and wait her there. So I went there and continue my crying.

As I was waiting there, somehow, it was good that my mom was beside God now. She will not feel any pain anymore. And her sufferings were ended. I prayed to God and thank Him that He doesn’t let my mom suffered so much. And He didn’t allow us to decide to pull out the respirator. At least we will not have the guilt that why should we pull out the respirator. Thank you God. Thank you for everything.
