Filipina Singers at XFAXTOR UK 2015 - The Journey

4th Power as they are known in XFACTOR UK are simply making their own way up to the international stage. They are the four sisters of the Philippines with impressive vocal power and showmanship that you wont get bored watching them perform.

After competing in local competition to support their financial needs; these talented young ladies started competing in international scene. So here's a bit of their journey:

WCOPA CHAMPION 2013

They were known as the Golayan sisters representing the Philippines at the WCOPA 2013.

The following year in 2014 these talented young ladies tried to conquer the Korean Stage by joining South Korea's most prestigious show SUPERSTARK6. After their impressive audition singing Korean Song they got eliminated after making it through the TOP 8 of the competition. I am expecting it though as it wasnt their langauge they are most comfortable with but they made a great show on their performances.

I can say that 2015 is their biggest battle as these talented young ladies wanted to make a name in a bigger stage - THE UK XFACTOR Stage. With high hopes of making it to the finale of the compitation. Their audition is sweet and amazingly beautiful. To make it their they'd have to pull off all their years and years of experience to beat the pressure the show could bring. If theyll make it they might win the hearts of the UK populace and be known to the world. My question is.... will they be the next CHARICE! Lets find out and keep watching UK XFACTOR TO FIND OUT.

I must say that the 6 Chair Challenge is the most excrutiating, most painful, tear jerking, emotional, and above all NERVE RACKING part of the show. I can fill the pain from the contestant being booted out when you are already sitting as well as the judges frustration and pain seeing a contestant go a decision they have to make thinking theyll be hated for making that decision.

GOOD LUCK 4TH POWER/IMPACT MAKE THIS COUNT!

Beading a decoration

Over the week where I am super idles since I left my job. I noticed a destroyed table clock where it hasnt been used for a long time. So I decided to start creating my own masterpiece from a trash to something decorative.

I already started to add the beads but then I realized that I havent took a photo of the old table clock as a remembrance of how it looks like before recreating it to something that I can use.

After a painsticking adding all different kinds of beads. This is now how it looks like. An all new table decoration.

My next project is adding crystal beads on my curtain. So watch out for it.

Crystal Beaded Lampshade

Last year I bought a lampshade in Baclaran. Baclaran is where I buy some of my stuff as they are cheaper compared to its mall price. For my readers abroad, Baclaran is like a stretch of wet market, vendors sell their stuff in a store or at the street. This is where you can buy really cheaper things compared to its mall counter price. This are brandless stuff though and most are imitations.

So going back, I bought this cool chargeable lampshade which is very helpful during brownouts. Since i started beading I decided to add color and style to it so I covered it with crystal beads which are left overs when I started creating the full bead pouch.

Here's the end result of my FULL BEAD LAMPSHADE.

I am recreating a table clock. Stay tuned for the new creation.

Some Friendly Tips to Overseas Filipino Workers

If you ask a Filipino who is working abroad why they are enduring the pain of moving away from their family. You'd definitely hear almost the same answer, "its for the betterment of my families economic situation". This I would say fire my countrymen to do better in whatever they do in their respective work abroad. However, I am sad to say this could also be a trap towards their economic freedom.

For every OFW, when they are aboard the plane going to their country destination they have full of hopes and aspiration and determination to provide a better living to their family. Must I would guess that the following list are either on their top priority or at least in their list of hundreds of priority these are: food on families table, gadgets for the kids, housing and house repairs and the list goes onh:

For me, there's no problem in achieving all that but what should an OFW so that they wont waste their time abroad and secure their family future.

1. FAMILY MEMBERS UNDERSTANDING ON EXPENSES

Before leaving the Philippines you should make sure that you present your plan on how you handle your finances with your family member. Explain to them in detail as to how you are going to handle your salary. It should be very specific and it would depend on you as to how you should break it down. Here is my example given that I will be working abroad:

Family Expenses - 20% of salary this will cover city services and food.

Education - 20% to 30% of salary (this would depend if your child is in grade school or college)

Savings - 30% of salary should be placed in savings.

Your Personal Expenses - 10% of salary

You can of course make your own divition of expenses. I am sure you would know your own salary before even leaving the Philippines so practically you would know how you would devide your salary and stick with the family goal.

2. SAVING ACCOUNTS AND INTERNET BANKING CAPABILITY

SAVINGS ACCOUNT - make sure you open a bank account in a reputable banks and that it has internet banking capabilities.

Having an internet banking capability would allow you to ensure that you can deposit deposit a fraction of your salary to a savings account. Also having the internet banking capability would allow you to monitor your own money.

3. FREE OFF FROM DEBTS

Make sure that during the family discussion you would also discuss to them how you can pay off your debts. Also, let them understand to stay away from debts as possible.

Stick to your goal. Ofcourse you wanted to work abroad not only because you want to provide for your families immediate need but also to make sure you are preparing for your future.

4. LEARN HOW TO SAY NO

The tendency of Filipinos working abroad is to give everything to their family member. When we say family member it means to them providing for thier immediate family and extended family.

Birthday parties and gadgets are not a priority in life. You have to understand also that working abroad is not permanent. Time will come and you will have to come back. Everyone that I know after their life abroad they come home broke and that is what you should avoid.

Its not your obligation to provide for everyone rather it is your obligation to provide your love ones a better life and not an extravagant life.

That is why it is important to draw a line upto when can you provide as to how much you can give to your immediate and extended family. Let them understand that you also want to come home and spend more time with your family let them know that you wanna come home and not worrying that you are unable to pay your own medicine and electric bill.

5. INVESTMENTS

House is not an investment. Worry about beautifying or buying a house at a later date. When you are free of debts start building your mutual funds, start buying your health insurance, start investing in money making but not pyramiding or any other networking. I dont have againts it but better make sure that you have enough money in your mutual funds and that you have made sure you are invested for any health insurance. Then if you have extra then you can reconsider other stuff.

6. GIVE EACH FAMILY MEMBER A ROLE

For married OFW, encourage your spouse to help you in generating money. Example, paying of electric bills and everyday food. This way everyone has a role in building financial stability within the family.  Make sure your children understand and practice saving. In this way you can alot more money in preparing for your children's education.

If you are single, it is far way easier for you to build your own financial stability. All you need to worry is your parents well fair. If you have siblings that is still in college then you can help them but you also have to make it clear upto when can you provide.
