My day is going downhill....

God! I don't know if it has something to do with the gloomy weather today but things are just going downhill for me right now.....

I am fuming mad, really really furious! I was told that our Ambassador will not be able to grace the event as she has some "protocol" to be observed with the Foreign Ministry. As in "hello, por favor" talaga. She is going by SQ flight at 11.10pm and the official start of the match is at 9pm.

Tonight we are going to have a Basketball Friendship Match between the Maldives Basketball Association (they selected an MBA 12 best players) and the players from the Filipino expatriate community (we had the tryouts last September then final selection was last month).

I felt so proud just looking at the uniforms that the guys from Design Solutions (thanks Nhoy & Jerson, Bert, Tin, etc!) have painstakingly made. P.S. puwera yung star sa gitna...LOL natanggal na yan!

I think I should just confine my thoughts and emotions to the Filipinos here in the Maldives, they are all that matters. I don't know who these bureaucrats are "who are supposed to look after the welfare of expatriate Filipinos living in the Maldives", I cannot feel the sincerity, the generosity, and most of all, common courtesy.

Sorry if I might have spoken out of turn to other people (esp Kuya B.) but I am who I am. I love the expatriate Filipinos in the Maldives. I feel strongly for them. I helpt out silently to people who cannot go back home because employers will not pay them their tickets anymore. I chase after these companies, I request assistance from Labor Ministry --- I go to lengths to help them. I love my kapwa Pinoy unreservedly and unconditionally. I think this is a characteristic sadly lacking in our government officials. This should be a requirement.
