26K foreigners study in the Philippines

| Students in the Philippines |
There are more than 26,000 foreigners are currently studying in various schools throughout the Philippines with South Koreans topping the list. All those enrolled in college are holders of student visa while elementary and high-school students are issued special study permits (SSPs).
Both the student visa and SSP are issued by the BI to qualified foreign students pursuant to Section 9(f) of the Philippine Immigration Act. The South Koreans 11,612, topped the list of the foreign students, followed by 3,961 Chinese and 3,225 Iranians.
Personal view
Should I be proud of this predicament? It does show that the Philippines can be a leader in education in Asia. But what bothers me? I see millions of Filipino children who could not afford to get a decent education, and yet countries from all the world can benefits from our education system. In the end, they take everything they learned from the Philippines and use in their countries for their benefit? What does the Philippines benefit from this? Nothing.
But who am I to judge? Have your say.

| Ramen Bar at Venice Piazza |
I just had my first experience at the Ramen Bar and I wasn’t sure on what to expect. You hear so many rumors about the exotic taste of ramen. I first heard of ramen at the states and if you watched the movie called “Ramen Girl” starring the late Brittany Murphy, it made a person like me curious. I always liked Japanese food but this was a different level. I was having my first experience at the Ramen Bar courtesy of the prize that I won from Megaworld.
I visited the closest Ramen Bar outlet that I knew and that was in Venice Piazza. I was impressed with the service and the comfortable atmosphere. I had my menu and I had a chance to take a look at the various food that they had available through their iPad that was given to me. I ordered two meals since I was really hungry. Those two meals were Chicken Namban Rice Bowl and R.B.S #1. The food experience was amazing! I loved the exotic Asian flavor and I am not the kind of person that is really into Asian cuisine.

| It looked so real that I wanted to eat the iPad! |
I had to order a dessert. Oh! The dessert was the finale which was the Tempura Ice Cream! It tasted so exquisite, and yet it was able to fill up my stomach. The Ramen Bar also had their own WiFi which made my night extra special so I would be able to blog this experience. They currently have a promo through their Twitter account and Facebook account. Sadly, this promo is only at the Ramen Bar outlet in Venice Piazza.
So what are you waiting for? Try it! I loved it and you will too! Thank you Ramen Bar and Megaworld for the experience! I’ll be visiting Ramen Bar again real soon!

All about La Obra ?
 |
| Me with Steve Terada from Amercia's Best Dance Crew Season 3 Winner's QUEST CREW |
Hi! You may call me Stuck in the Philippines because I am literally stuck in the Philippines! I'm just kidding. My name is Kristian. This is my first blog and it first started out as travel blog. But then I started involving my love for the entertainment scene mainly the movies and concerts scene. Once I started blogging, I couldn't stop.
A little bit about myself. I was born and raised in Dubai (U.A.E) until I went to Arizona (U.SA). You could say I love traveling. For the record, I am a Filipino. I just lived and studied abroad. A graduate of Southern New Hampshire University and Maine High School graduate, I feel that life has more to offer. I'm a Business Administration graduate but this is something I feel that I am passionate about. I love to breakdance but I'm not getting any younger. I like traveling but that requires a lot of cash. But I love to explore.
Since I love traveling, I first started this blog as a travel blog and I was bored. Anyway, once I arrived in the Philippines, I decided to stay for awhile and adapt to the Filipino way of life. Trust me! It wasn't easy since I had to adjust from scratch! But everything turned out well.
How I started blogging? It was when a friend suggested that I should blog. My first thought of blogging is that it was a boring job and besides what do I blog about? Voila! That's how my blogging world began and now I'm hooked! Now I mainly blog about events, news, movies, concerts and travel! A lot huh? By the way, I do make some grammar mistakes on my blog but hey nobody is perfect! =)
If you have any ideas, suggestions, please don't hesitate to drop me a line. You may contact me at kristianmarfori at gmail dot com . You may call/text preferably text me at +639166464362. Please state your name, email, contact details and inquiry.
Much love!
Kristian
