IT'S ALMOST LIKE A DREAM!

I used to work at Cafe France in the Philippines. Never thought that it's already a premonition of what's to come.

♦️Yung pinagtraining ka ng PSCRB na tinamaan LAHAT ng resting hours mo for 5-6 sessions, tapos bigla kang ililipat sa special care? 🙄
♦️Then safety card change in the middle of your resting hour, on the port dapat lalabas ka after ng ilang series ng BLD sched 😭
♦️At eto pa, last minute IPM color change sa port na ilang buwan mo nang pinagplanuhang lumabas 😔
♦️Yung napaaga sana yung out mo ng breakfast tapos biglang may pa training si Training Specialist sa lunch off mo na may balik kang 4-5pm
♦️Yung wala ka nang boses pero pinipilit mong hindi mag medical off kasi gusto mong lumabas sa mga port na matagal mo ng hinintay 🥺

Asan ang justice? Ako lang ba nakaka experience neto? O may kakaibang nagaganap behind the scenes?

Pag ata talaga not meant to be, hindi talaga mangyayari. Yung nag conspire na yung universe, mga stars, moon, at mga planets sa solar system para di ka makalabas sa Amsterdam, Belgium at Paris 🥺

What can you say?

BAKIT NGA BA MASAYA ANG PAGBABARKO?🚢⚓
ANO-ANO BA ANG ADVANTAGES? ✔️✔️✔️
AT ANO-ANO DIN ANG DOWNSIDE? ❌❌❌

⚓Maraming ADVANTAGES ang pagbabarko gaya ng mga sumusunod:

🔸MALAKI ANG SAHOD 💵💸
Aminin man po namin at sa hindi, malaki naman talaga ang sinasahod ng isang SEAMAN kumpara sa mga ibang OFW na nasa ibang bansa (liban nalang kung ikaw ay doktor, nurse, at iba pang mga professionals).

Kahit tumambling ka ng back and forth sa Pilipinas, hindi ka kikita ng 75k-150k/month unless you are in a high ranking position sa corporate world, which we know is very stressful at may high standards, or kung mayroon kang maayos at magandang negosyo, which is hindi naman pare-parehas ang kita due to changing markets at prices.

🔸MAS MADALING MAKAIPON 🐖
Dito kasi onboard you don't need to pay your rent, utilities, food and etc... Mostly ng basic needs mo onboard is free and provided.

Nasa sa iyo nalang yan kung pala shopping ka at palakain ka sa labas then that's the time you will use your money. Minsan nga sa tips mo yan kukunin so hindi mo magagalaw yung salary mo.

🔸TRAVEL WHILE WORKING 🛳️ 🌍
You will have the chance to see the world for free! Name it, NYC, Paris, Santorini, Sydney, Vatican City, San Francisco Bridge, at marami pang-iba! Can you imagine yung binabayaran ng mga guest just to visit this places pero ikaw, napupuntahan mo ito ng walang bayad!

🔸HINDI MATAAS ANG REQUIREMENTS 🧑‍🍳🧑‍✈️
When you apply onboard, hindi nila nirerequire kung ikaw ay college graduate. Hindi rin importante kung hindi ka kakinisan at hindi ka katangkaran. Pero if you are, it's just a plus point but as I said it is not required.

Ang hinahanap ng mga agency is yung may experience sa field na iyong inaapplayan at meron kang skills. For example, you worked in hotels or restaurants, kasi basically onboard, kung ano yung meron sa ship, it's almost the same kung ano yung meron sa landbase.

⚓ Pero gaya ng maraming bagay na may pros and cons, meron ding DOWNSIDE ang pagtatrabaho sa barko gaya ng mga sumusunod: 🛳️😯

🔸 YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN 😥😓
Mayroong famous saying dito onboard, "You came alone, you'll go home alone". It simply means, dito walang ibang mag-aalaga sa sarili mo kung ikaw din, like pag nagkasakit ka or accident. Kaya always take care of yourself.

Blessed ka kung makakatagpo ka ng mabubuti at totoong kaibigan onboard na tutulong sayo during this days of your life onboard.

🔸WALANG DAY OFF 📆🗓️
Yes, you read that right. Walang day off sa barko, kaya pag nag apply ka sa barko, i-program mo na sa sarili mo na magwowork ka everyday for 6-10 months of your contract.

Though ang minimum work hours onboard is 10hrs/day which means may 14 hrs ka to rest (that may be divided into 3-4 parts). During this rest hours, dito ka pwedeng lumabas at mag shore leave. You will sacrifice your sleep or rest to be able to go outside. But it's up to you how you manage your time.

🔸MALAKING EXPENSES SA PAGAAPLY 💸💵
Ang pag-apply sa barko ay parang pamumuhunan at kailangan mo ding maglabas ng pera. Hindi para sa placement fee pero sa mga requirements na kakailanganin mo.

This requirements includes your passport, seaman's book, trainings at kung ano ano pa.
Though, may mga company naman na sila na ang may sagot ng iyong medical, visa, trainings, pati narin ang iyong plane ticket.

🔸HOMESICKNESS 🏠 👪😥
Isa sa pinakamatinding kalaban ng mga Seaman onboard ay ang homesickness. Ang barko kasi ay hindi parang landbase job na pag day off mo at stressed ka at nalulungkot, pwede kang maglibot-libot somewhere at mag aliw-aliw.

Dito, nasa gitna ka ng dagat, in a confined space, in the four corners of your room, on your bed. Kaya kung mahina hina ang loob mo at ikaw ay malungkutin, medyo magisip muna nag very light if you would really like to work on the ship.

IN CONCLUSION 🤗😁
Naniniwala po ako na ang success ng iyong career sa pagbabarko ay nakadepende sa iyo.

Hindi kasi lahat ng barko or company ay pare-parehas, may iba na good life, may iba din naman na mabigat. May mga amo na hard time at may mga amo na mababait din naman. May mga kapwa ka crew members ka na kupal, pero din namang genuine na good people.

AGAIN, IT'S ALL UP TO YOU. Kung paano mo dadalin, paano ka makikitungo, paano ka mag-rereact lalo na sa mga negative situations.

Remember, IT'S JUST SHIP LIFE. Don't take things so seriously, enjoy your contract and have fun. Importante din na tama iyong attitude at mindset, dahil yan ang kakailangin mo to cope up and to survive onboard. 😁🫡

Finally and the most important, NEVER FORGET TO PRAY. 🙏 Mahalaga na may mga nakakausap kang mga kaibigan at kapamilya in your every success and failures, pero wala ng mas dadaig pa kung lagi mong kausap yung at hinihingan ng payo yung source ng lahat ng blessings at comfort during difficult times, si GOD.
