ABS CBN News Reporting

Recently, i have been very poor with time. I was always rushing, trying to do things every minute. I have a milllion thoughts on my head, a single neuro in the back of my head is telling me that today i need to pay bills, do to the dentist, go to work, drive my car, do my uni thesis, organise my news reports and interviews, meet my friends, go for coffee, play with my younger brother , spend time with my turtle, and lastly get some sleep.

I have not pushed myself so far as i have done for these past few months. Work has been so demanding with the routing changes and the shipping business being so high in demand now that the prices are so low. Savvy exporters and importers are taking advantage of the recession. And our company being the biggest private shipping company in the world has been leading the business as the multi-million dollar owner , G. Aponte believes MSC will be the best shipping company in the world.

Regarding my video journalism for the biggest Philippine TV, ABS-CBN Broadcasting- I have not had so much fun in my life meeting wonderful people (My YouTube Channel). Getting stories out of nothing, getting ideas out of smart conversations, meeting the craziest, strangest people that has a unique story to tell. My main purpose is to give filipinos in perth a voice. Perth, being known as the "dullsville" amongst other states in Australia is just a misconception. Perth is a wonderful place, it is the cleanest, quietest after 7pm, city with the freshest air. After travelling overseas and seeing how other countries are suffering from pollution , its an honour to be in perth and smell the sweet air so you almost taste its sweetness. The space is so huge and you can almost run free for 10 kms without bumping into someone. I love perth, its has a culture yet to be discovered and promoted, I think its loveliness lies in the mindset of people.

The economy has not been doing so great, this has been a ritual media story - which we hear everyday. In one of oprah's shows, ive seen a snippet in the life of " Tent cities" in US. USA being one of the highest , most advanced country in the world has had a lot of people being rejected from the free housing that the govt provides. Without money to run the show, people will go back to basics- and realise that there are the basic human needs in which people need to survive. Such as food & water, shelter, security. I feel lucky that i have a pretty secure job. And for those that are finding it hard to get a job- do not lose hope. Our world is round, whatever comes up must come down. If you do come down, its up to you how you can come up again- believe and hope for something better is what i always promised myself i will not lose.

I have been quite busy - but i still have time to create this blog. It is my first attempt and im hoping to write more and expand my knowledge, the internet is amazing. I belive it is the medium that can only go against the recession. The power of the world wide web such as limitless blogging, emails, chats, and ability to broadcast yourself will give you the advantage to be heard as long as you have the motivation.

Its 1 am now and i should head to bed soon, but i dont feel tired. My mind works like a broken cassette. 
Let me dream.
