To be updated of what is going on in the Philippines, many OFWs depend on various news websites and YouTube. But do you know that you can also watch a Filipino channel online for free? Yes, that's right. Dubbed as the only public service channel in the Philippines UNTV can be watched via www.untvweb.com.

Make friends and learn a new language

I just want to share this awesome website for language learning - italki.com. I've been using this site for more than 4 years now and I can tell you how useful this is especially for language learners at any level. Registering is free of charge but if you want to request a lesson with any teacher, you can link your Paypal or credit card.


But don't worry if you don't want to spend any, italki works like a social network platform as well. You can make friends with someone who speaks the language you want to learn. You can also exchange your time teaching your native language for time learning a foreign language. 


For fellow teachers, here's the good news! You can earn extra by spending your time teaching you native language. There are thousands of students who are looking for the right teacher for them. Once your account is ready, you can apply as a teacher and start earning. italki has also special referral program this month of May!

Is there still war in Vietnam?

I often get this question from people who are not-so-updated about the current happenings in the world today. I do not blame them. It's just annoying sometimes especially if they know that you've been living there for years. A friend of mine had the idea of making a short documentary about the present Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon). The video is not out yet but I made a teaser. Hope you like it.
