PINOY OFW ENGINEER: WARNING: Two Thirds of the Engineers Working in the Middle East Suffer from HIV?


OFW Engineer with HIV

What the hell is HIV? It is not the dreaded disease you think it is. The social circuit called it the:

“ Hair Is Vanishing “

It is common to see Engineers in the workplace showing a receding Hair Bangs or a diminishing Top Hair. Certainly, they came from various age groups usually ranging from 30 – 55 yrs old. Though, it is quite unusual to see this day some younger engineer gradually experiencing this HIV phenomenon - as what they called it is. Anyhow, we know for sure that the cause of this depends on many factors under the sun, some of which may include heredity, environment, stress and lifestyle.

However, most of my colleagues are now beginning to accept this fate and gladly justify the benefits more than the social dilemma it will take. One Engineer proudly says, “You know my friend this is a sign of Accumulated Wisdom brought by many quality experience and trainings in various Engineering Projects in the Middle East...” No doubt about that, and I did not anymore challenge that statement, or else I might be in trouble.

Stage 4 HIV??

Nevertheless, others will not accept this HIV thing, and will do whatever it takes to find ways or solutions to reclaim their hair using some expensive hair grower products available in the market today, or for desperate ones, using the customized, fully fitted, removable hair solution they called “WIG”. There is no bad thing about trying all these means to claim their crowning glory. And it just goes to show that indeed, they do not like to join the association of Mr. Clean which is the unsung organization of the (BHP) Bald Headed People being shown in a popular detergent brand long time ago. The choice is theirs.

Well nowadays, time changed, it is now highly accepted and even admired in the sports and fashion industry for this skin head style of hair cut. Look in TV, Print Media and the Internet; it is almost everywhere. It is now becoming a fad rather than a stigma. Even those with a blessed hair wanted to make a change to this bald look hair cut style, in which one can feel and look like a tough guy, rugged, masculine look Engineer where every Nurses in the kingdom will not hesitate to take a second look.
