Overseas Filipino Workers. Naririnig natin ang mga salitang ito sa radyo. Napapanood natin ito sa telebisyon. Nababasa natin sa mga dyaryo. Makikita sila sa iba't ibang panig ng mundo. Sa madaling salita, ang mga OFW's ay ang mga kababayan nating pumupunta sa ibang bansa upang magtrabaho.

Marami sa atin ay nagtataka: Bakit hindi nalang dito magtrabaho ang mga kababayan nating OFW's? Madali lang ang sagot sa tanong na ito: Mas malaki ang sahod at benepisyo doon kaysa dito. Ayong sa ating gobyerno, ang pagpunta ng mga OFW's sa ibang bansa ay nakakatulong sa ekonomiya ng Pilipinas. Tumutulong sila sa pamamagitan ng pagpapadala ng "remittances" sa kani-kanilang mga pamilya. Dahil dito, nasisigurado ng mga OFW's na nabibigyan nila ng maganda at maliwanag na kinabukasan ang kanilang mga pamilya. Kahit mas malaki ang sweldo ng mga OFW, marami ring mga sakripisyo ang kanilang pinagdadaanan. Unang-una, malayo sila sa kanilang mga pamilya. Dito nagsisimula ang pangungulila nila. Ang hirap talaga maging isang OFW. Haharapin mo ang iba't ibang pagsubok na mag-isa lang. Sa ngayon, marami pa rin sa mga kababayan natin ang umaasa na makamit ang komportableng buhay para sa sarili at sa mga mahal sa buhay.

Sa aking pagtatapos ng aking talumpati, ito lang ang masasabi ko: Pahalagaan ninyo ang mga sakripisyo ng inyong mga magulang dahil hindi madali ang pagiging OFW. Kahit malayo man sila o malapit, ang importante ay ang pagmamahal ninyo sa isa't isa.

The Cleveland Cavaliers 2.0

After the major trade that the Cavaliers made this week, the team's starting lineup plus sixth man will look like this. Bringing J.R. Smith off the bench will be the best option for them since he provides instant scoring off the bench that may relieve James' and Irving's scoring duties.

PG: Kyrie Irving (#2)

SG: Iman Shumpert (#4)

SF: LeBron James (#23)

PF: Kevin Love (#0)

C: Timofey Mozgov (#15)

6th man: J.R. Smith (#5)

J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert reportedly headed to Cavaliers in three-team deal 

Smith (# 5) and Shumpert (#4) are the new members of the Cavs

Trying to lift their status from pretender to contender, the Cleveland Cavaliers traded their former #4 pick, Dion Waiters to the Oklahoma City Thunder in a three-way deal. The deal sends Waiters to the Thunder; Alex Kirk, Lou Amundson and a 2019 second round pick to the Knicks in exhange for J.R. Smith and Iman Shumpert. Meanwhile, the Thunder will give the Cavs a future first round pick and send Lance Thomas to the Knicks. This deal benefits the Knicks the most since it is a salary dump ($ 6.4 million is owed to Smith next season) to clear cap space.

Nothing does it better than the Nike Hyper Elite socks

At first, I used to despise the Nike Hyper Elite socks due to their price. It just wasn't worth it. I mean, splurging P845 or $18 just for a single pair? Oh come on, man!!!! They ain't practical!!!!! BUT, upon seeing a lot of DOPE colors in most Nike outlet stores, I decided to cop one of those above. Before purchasing a pair, I tried my best to choose the most appropriate color for my basketball shoes. The money that was used in purchasing a pair came from my savings. Every time my dad would give me my "baon" for the day, I would keep at least P40 inside my cabinet. I kept on doing this until I reached the desired amount needed for a purchasing these overpriced socks. As soon as I purchased them, I tried them on. Damn, they were so comfortable! I can definitely feel the unmatched cushioning provided by the socks on my heels, ankles and forefeet. I even hooped in them! These socks really gives me a high comfort level, especially when my shoes give me a snug fit. At price P845, purchasing a pair was definitely worth it.

New York Knicks fans wear paper bags over their heads during the Knicks vs. Rockets game

Derek Fisher, I think your coaching seat is getting hotter and hotter by the day. Sitting at 30th in the standings, the New York Knicks have the worst record in the entire league: 5 wins and 33 losses. Knicks fans showed their disappointment over their team's performance this season by wearing paper bags over their heads today at a home game against the Houston Rockets. Surprisingly, these fans still paid much to sit in the front row of the row just to show their disapproval.
