Only
a couple of days left before my vacation should officially end, and somehow I'm
not really that optimistic of going back to work and in general be trapped
again on a ship full of coconut worshipping people. Frankly I'm really not that
eager to go back soon on seafaring, and wish that my vacation would be a little
more longer. In addition , My previous
employer TCC is not that comfortable to work with ,to say the least and I'm not
looking forward to work with them soon if the need is not that desperate.
To
be fair with my current employer , they're no angels but compare to the
everyday horror that tormented me on UPL - Shell. I'd definitely rather choose
hanging out with TCC than with them. But
in general and given with free will and choice, I would opt for neither of
them.
In
any case ,I estimate going back again for work wouldn’t take that much effort
this time and only left for me to finish are a few simple task like finishing
"MISMO" and replacing paper certificates that I lost during my
disembarkation on my last ship. In fact I could have already finished the task
right about now if I wasn’t hampered with a few mistakes ( like lending people
money )and it will serve a lesson for me on my next vacation that I should not
lend money to people even if I knew them personally. People's hearts tend to be fickle especially
when it comes to money , and I don’t want to repeat those mistakes that people
won't even bother to pay their debts
Anything
else besides that is only minor and can be resolve even if I didn’t totally
finished it. Speaking of which I haven't finished yet in completing all the
anime downloads that I have to. Starting
from the list letter "A" all the way to letter "Z" , I have
only made my way in to the letter "G" criteria, so basically there is
still a ton for me to work with and download before I get to finish my anime
collection. I do hope that before I go back to work , I have already
significantly downloaded at least half of the anime catalog on the website.
A lot of people might be wondering on why I'm so much obsessed in collecting media like movies, anime, TV series etc., while I'm still in here in the Philippines. The main primary reason on why I have to do this is because is the fact that since my job requires to be isolated for a majority of time , if not all of the duration of my working contract., I have to have some form of entertainment to reduce the feeling of my work from being in a prison like situation, and at the same time it provides me security to stay inside my cabin all that time and that I don’t have to socialize to toxic people. I'm personally lucky that I became a seafarer in the digital age , and that such huge storage devices for media like hard drives are already common compared to sailors atv least 20 years back.
On my point of view being isolated and shut in is not totally that bad, as what other sailors might perceived, In fact it's totally the opposite in reality and that a Filipino sailor would be better off alone remaining to be Isolated and disconnected from fellow sailors onboard (specifically fellow Filipino sailors). From my personal experience in this work for nearly a decade, socializing with fellow sailors is the worst possible idea a person can think of. There is no assurance that the he or she won't have a toxic obnoxious attitude and will not be a threat latter on., Shunning and practicing isolationism is the right thing to do rather than socialize with toxic people.

Don’t
get me wrong socializing and interacting with people are good , but how can we
tell they are trust worthy especially to our own kind (Filipino Sailors).
Socializing and trust are two different things , if a person is not confident
or trust his surroundings , it would be better off going solo.
During
the course of a Filipino sailors career based on my experience. He can only
find very few friends on work, only enemies and more obnoxious bosses and
co-workers
