Reflection about the story “Turban Legend” by Zamora Linmark. Blog no.9

It was to address and educate each story was made. That's why I was impressed by Zamora Linmark in  this "turban legend" story, this does not just a lecture , it demonstrates what makes Filipino people different from others and how Filipino offer certain stuff importance.

My father was also a OFW, since I was a kid I grow up with a lack of comfort of a father I never experienced Christmas celebration with a him, sometimes I got jealous of some family out there celebrating Christmas with their whole family and At the point when I read the story, I can say it is where Filipino can truly relate to, I am one have felt that genuine sentiment of sorrow and panicked sort feeling.

Many Filipinos work for money abroad, and any time anyone has to be separated from their families, it hurts me. We all know that no one wants to separate themselves from their families, but we need to live in order. But it made me realize that value and appreciation are significant. The anecdote involves the struggles an overseas Filipino worker is facing, and how they respect their family and show their love by giving them gifts filled with all kinds of items in the form of big carton boxes. One of the Filipino's features is that we are patient, solid and very brave, and that's why I was so proud to be Filipino.

The word home, home isn't where your house is but it is where your heart feels comfortable, now in this story the story of the engineer who died because of inserting his self in the balikbayan box for wanting to get back to his home, because home is where we are used, I mean I think why the engineer here put his self in the box not only because he wants to be with his family but he wants to be comfortable again like what he used to.

We always take extreme pleasures and convenience from their “Balikbayan boxes”. But these boxes hold a deeper meaning into it. The love that Overseas Filipino Workers seals into it, profound as the deep seas, and I think that’s the most beautiful way to show their affection and we need to appreciate them more and be always thankful to them, because just like in the story, Turban Legend, They would do anything for us, anything just to come home even if it means giving their lives up.

The story made me realize things I should have known sooner, a lesson that we all should keep. The only way to pay them back is through gratitude and increased appreciation. Give value to the things they’ve sent. Value the person that took the extreme to give you love and a comfortable life. This story made me idolize OFW's doings as well as what my father did and this story is an eye opener .And made us realize how hard being OFW'

First race in the books, and I think I’m hooked! Thank you @greatracela for a fun first race. I had only started this journey a little more than a year ago and never saw myself as a serious runner. I was definitely mentally prepared to run for more than I had, but I’m already thinking about the next! P.S. Thank you for the #runswag/#balikbayan goodies. P.P.S. Thank you @ajxy for connecting us all. You were missed! 🏃‍♀️⛰🏅 . #greatracela #agourahills #saturdaymorning #firsttimer #definitelytrainedformore #race #runners #health #running #rachelcanrun #balikbayanboxes #runnersstyle #coconutwaterondeck #letsdoitagain (at Great Race of Agoura Hills Half Marathon, 10K, 5K)

If you need a really easy guide & resource to ship from US-Manila especially electronics pls try LBC express. I did a video guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4vgtitr_1M for those curious #balikbayanbox #Balikbayan #LBCExpress

about 10 years ago my sister introduced me to some companies in the US who can receive  your items bought online and consolidate.  They can ship to your address in the philippines and this is one of the items i have purchased.  Another cool thing is that if your cards are not accepted on certain sites, they can actually purchase for you.  :)

Reflection of May Goals and New Media Publishing and Distribution Class

After understanding the structure of this program, I already had a pre-assumption that this month’s class would focus on publishing our capstone projects and creating distribution strategies to receive views. This expectation of the course was met and I appreciated the course’s expectations of me as it went beyond my assumptions. I enjoyed creating the distribution plan as it really gave me the opportunity to think deeper and more creatively of how I want to showcase my capstone project to people and how to gain more views and potentially, a bigger following.

This month did not have a specific content that was most helpful to my learning experience but rather the whole process of doing the final edits to the project; receiving feedback and suggestions; making the edits and finally publishing the capstone project after doing so much research and work on it beforehand. Publishing my story after months of working on it felt so rewarding and made me feel so proud of how far I have come in my journey as a journalist.

Going through the final stages of editing, revising and publishing my story has prepared me for my career as a journalist because it gave me a taste of what it feels like to receive critical feedback and suggestions positively and putting those comments into action quickly before publishing the story. While I am a perfectionist and I still want to add more to my capstone project, the flow of this class has taught me to let go of my assignments and publish them already.

But with that said, after going through and reading my article for the final discussion board of the month, I had a few new creative ideas pop into my head in regards to deepening my research on OFWs and balikbayan boxes. I hope to continue telling and sharing their story with the world and provide empowerment for OFWs globally.
