We panicked by the news of chemical attacks that all of us feared for our lives. Gas masks and masking tapes were selling like hotcakes in the market. Panic buying was showing in some other areas; Deirah Side Souq, Supermarkets, Al Fahidi Street and even some Malls, but we were still opening our stores around Dubai. I instructed my staff to minimize selling of goods for our consumption in case of chemical attacks and to be ready always, when worst comes to worst. - See more at: http://ofw-the-game-of-life.blogspot.com/2014/06/the-gulf-war-serving-navies-ofw39.html#.U5_n-Cjm5X0

We ran outside the hotel's room, up to the exit door, and find our way through the vacant lot. We hid for a moment at the back of the mango tree and climbed onto the concrete fence. The bullets still following us which I couldn't decipher where it came from and who's firing at us. But I knew that this was still part of the game. At the other end, I saw the narrow way and hastily pushed Aira inside while I came after her. The smell of the place cannot stop us from escaping the route. We finally got the chance to run freely into an open road, grabbed a taxi cab heading to the southern part of Negros Occidental. - See more at: http://ofw-the-game-of-life.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-turn-tail-with-my-daughter-ofw64.html#.VKzTBPmUepc

It all started with Marco Fernando, an Overseas Filipino Worker, also known as OFW in the Phiippines. His dream to pursue higher education, good life and financial freedom falters when his parents cannot support him anymore. He tried to cover-up his weaknesses through his classmate Ayah. Along the way, he met another woman, Danielle who fall in love with him, which he used her for his ambition in life, without the knowledge of Ayah. Until, the two women met and Marco Fernando lived with Ayah through poverty.

I reminisced the time with Daniele; that lovely and silky skin, which made her, captured my insanity. She's beautiful, modesty aside, kind with strong disposition. The world will stop when her loveliness exudes no boundaries. A woman with the power to captures a man's imagination into the world of ecstasy. How I missed those first night with her.

It was in the year 1991 of February 26 onwards that Dubai started its developments. The expatriate workforce in the United Arab Emirates especially Dubai, continued to show the usual brisk business because of the foreign people were still around. Danielle instantly arrived in Dubai to ironed-out other important business transactions. Dubai was gearing to be the hub of tourist attractions and business acumen of international organizations. Notable was the appearance of women from the part of Russia. They invaded the nightlife of Dubai scene which constituted more tourists and visitors around the Gulf. - See more at: http://ofw-the-game-of-life.blogspot.com/2014/06/after-gulf-war-past-still-lingers-on.html#.U6MDVLHm5X0

I did not move at first, I was shocked because the person in front of me was Edward's son. I knew Ronnie too well. His family name was Castor. Danielle used him to influence me badly for the cough syrup addiction. I slowly came nearer to him. I asked him who his father was. He answered me, Edward Castor. I slowly fingered my handkerchief in my pocket and wiped the blood on his face. I called the attention of Tony to helped Ronnie got in the car. I drove fast the highway going to the nearest hospital for treatment of Ronnie's cuts.

We left the Bantayan island by boat going to Cebu International Airport, but along the way, I still recalled the history of this island. The provincial capital Cebu, was an important port known to Europeans with the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. Its bustling port, protected by outlying Mactan island, handles most interisland commodities and second only to Manila in International trade. Already a thriving port when Ferdinand Magellan arrived in 1521. The Spanish made their first Philippine settlements on Cebu. Was it in my blood….a Spanish blood?

I seated in a waiting lounge but my mind kept on wandering what and how to go on with my new challenge or was it a part of my dreams? I cursed Danielle more than ever, like a bursting fire of a dragon capable of killing her in an instant.
