Hindi Mo Ba Ako Kilala?
It happened about a year ago.
My brother-in-law was about to board his plane from Manila to Tacloban.
As he reached his designated seat near the front of the plane, somebody who looked familiar had already taken his seat and she was busy chatting with the person beside her.
This somebody is a well-known Television personality.
"Excuse me, that's supposed to be my seat," said my brother-in-law, or something to that effect.
The well-known tv personality just looked at him from head to foot, then ignored him and continued chatting with her companion.
"Excuse me miss, that's my seat number..." said my brother-in-law.
"Hindi mo ba ako kilala?" asked miss tv personality in a haughty tone.
"Hindi." Well...actually, he does.
Who doesn't?
She's a regular co-host of an evening talk show.
"Doon ka na lang sa likuran, maingay kasi doon..."
"Ba't di mo palipatin dun 'yang kasama mo? Kaya ko nga pinili 'yang seat na 'yan kasi ayoko rin dun..."
Then he called the stewardess over to settle the matter at hand.
The result? Miss tv personality had to vacate my brother-in-law's seat and walked to her own designated seat at the back.
The moral of the story?
Never utter the words, "Hindi mo ba ako kilala?" As if you already have the right to step on other people's toes.
If you think, just because you already achieved celebrity status, you already have the right to have your own way with people...and you think you can get away with it, then you got another think coming.

Employment opportunities - Is there one open for you?
Are you in search of employment opportunities? The world-wide economic crunch affected thousands of overseas contract workers. Fortunately, those who are in health jobs are not affected, thanks in part to Pres. Obama's Health Program which is included in his government's priority list.
If you are one of the 50,000 Filipino overseas contract workers who got laid off recently, this is for you.
Here are some options:
You can also avail of counseling services offered by some well-meaning NGO's. It's not easy on your psyche, after all.
All these years you've been sending remittance to your family regularly, then all of a sudden, it's gone...no more.
You begin to think that it's not fair. You were forced by circumstances in the first place to go find work overseas because there's not enough employment opportunities here in your country.
You endured the intense heat somewhere in the Middle East. You survived the loneliness in some far-off land and worked your ass off just so you could provide your kids with a good college education. And build your dream home.
Now you feel your dreams won't get realized because you got laid off.
But what if there's a way for you to earn in U.S. dollars and there's no need to go overseas? Will you grab the opportunity? Of course you will.
So, what's in it for you?
You don't have to work away from your family. You can work right here and be with your loved ones.
And the good news? There's hope for you...Here are some of those who are already successful. If they can do it, I'm sure you can.
