Fighting Blog Spammers, the 'Dubai' movie illusion, Jobs in Dubai

I think i've finally found the way to hold off comment spammers here on Blogger:
Away, Spam, Away!

Whew. It's a pain to keep deleting them.

It's a good thing that they have these features. I only needed to look closer inside the settings. Nyuk nyuk.

And no, I haven't seen the 'Dubai' movie yet, but from all the feedback I've heard, it seems that no one likes it except for the ones who made the darn movie (it's a movie from the Philippines, by the way). People who live and work here especially loathe it because it shows too much candy and illusions about Dubai being an oasis for jobs and good living.

That's not necessarily untrue, but then majority of Asians who work here aren't really living a charmed life, believe me. It's worth taking a chance in Dubai, yes, and better if you're armed with a degree and some solid working experience, especially in areas like Construction (engineer and architects) and Hospitality (Hotels and restaurants).

In this vein, it makes me sad that Filipinos prey on their own countrymen by asking for Php100,000 (around Dhs7,000) just to get here, when the actual cost can be as low as Php40,000 (around Dhs3,000), for a tourist visa and plane tickets.

A lot of Filipinos here are wandering around jobless and have debts at home amounting to the previously mentioned Php100k. It's sad.
