Personal Annual Report for 2005 : Leaving one to live in another country

Another anxious year for me. At the turn of the new year, I was anticipating my return to the Philippines. I had enough of Saudi Arabia and all I want was to return back to my sweet abode. Also, I awaited to be paid back of my unpaid wages of several months. Our contract got extended for six more months without any renegotiation or change in renumeration. It was just like the ordeal of any Filipinos have gone through the anguish, the anger and frustration of working with an ill-managed company. I recall that what used to be a loud and busy hang out room of my fellow migrant workers at Christmastime met the New Year in silence and desperation. Save for the singing along with a videoke. Most of my co-workers had gone back after several months of being treated shabbily since the project did not turn out well.

Million Minutes Vlog4Peace

I am doing the Vein of Gold of Julia Cameron, a companion book to the The Artist’s Way when I thought of this vlog project. It is a book on nurturing and enhancing creativity. I was in the Kingdom of Sound when I got this inspiration. The idea was reinforced by the other vlogs and blogs I’ve seen especially those concerning the impeachment campaigns on George Bush. In the book of Cameron, she described the healing power of sound and music. Also, when people articulate and express themselves they invite and encourage communication and transformation. Sound is energy, a vibration. I wonder if a collective sound energy could make a ripple of vibrations that translate to action and change. Will the sounds coming from vlogs make a difference? What are the potentials for vlogs to educate and advocate for issues and concerns that confront humanity? Then I questioned my motivation for such a project. Why should I inspire Bush’s impeachment when in the Philippines we also dislike our president?
