    In 2002 my $25 grocery is good for one week but now its $80 a week. Its a shrinking economy. I wonder whats next for the next 5 years.

    Masarap din daw pagkain dyan sa Ilo-coast.

    O/T: Kinakatay pa rin nyo ba ang aso dyan, pre? Dito kasi sa amin ipinagbawal ng LGU ang pagkatay ng "domesticated animals". USPCA at RSPCA daw ang me kagagawan.

    Oks lang naman sa aken, di naman talaga ako kakain ng aso. Hindi sa nadidirian ako pero "bespren" tlaga tukoy ko sa mga yan.

    I agree. US is no longer the same. Dati, mag-job hunting ka, makakakita ng trabaho in one day, ngayon ang taas ng percentage ng mga unemployed due to lay-offs at saka wala na talagang mapasukan. Swerte mo kung makakita ng trabaho right away.

    Guess what, in two months, I'll be out of a job. My company, Philips (www,pmsna.com) decided to "outsource" our department offshore...to Singapore.

    Bakit kamo, mas mura ang parts & labor. Grabe ang impact sa akin nito, ang tagal ko na sa kompanyang ito, my hourly rate is in the lower $30s. Meron akong mortgage at saka car payment. Now, if I don't find a job within 6 months, kailangan kong mag-downsize like... ibenta ang bahay at kumuha ng mas maliit or rent an apartment, trade in yung kotse sa isang econo-box at baguhin ang lifestyle. Eh di balik na lang ako sa pilipinas, mangutang ako sa lahat ng credit card ko, tapos tumira na sa pilipinas for good ;)

    Tapos nagtataka ang US kung bakit down ang economy, madali ang sagot. paubos na ang mga trabaho dahil dinadala na sa china, etc.

    Last month lang, tinaasan na naman ang tax ng gasolina sa state namin, dinagdagan ng 9 cents per gallon, Kaya mag fill up lang ako ng gas weekly, natural na ang $50.00 ang full tank.

    I could go on and on...but writing this puts me in a bad mood.....

    (RANT OFF) thanks for reading

    Im sorry to hear this bro. I hope you can find a job within 6 months. Monster it bro.
    Wala talagang stable dito sa US. I have known people from California living high as engineers for Cingular. Their network is sold to T-mobile and all engineers are replaced with subcons. They earn $80,000 a year bro pero ngayon nasaan na kaya mga yon siguro subcon na rin.

    as the US move & improve on to the information age, dami na jobs ni-replace or ni-obsolete ng computers & computerization. ito na yun output/cosequence ng IT boom
    sa US in the late 90's, lahat na computerize na, so basically maint & upgrading na lang ang mga US companies.

    d2 sa Pilipinas, walang computerization gano, pero scarce pa din ang trabaho, the
    culprit sobrang dami naman ng tao competing for menial jobs.
