Jobless And Stuck

 I've been teaching English in Vietnam for the past 9 months since November 2012. However, I've only been volunteering for the past 2 months of July and August 2013. I do not have certain college degrees and teaching certificates (TEFL, TESOL, etc), which means I am not qualified for any teaching job at all. If you want to talk to me, google my name, Joey Arnold, The Original Oatmeal.

I am stuck in Vietnam. I do not have enough money to return to the USA. I am running out of money. Are you in need of an English Teacher, Tutor, Web Designer, Video Editor, Actor, Director, Designer, Writer, Artist, Inventor, Counselor, etc. I am living in a shared room in district 12 for five hundred VND a month. I do not know if I can stay there. If the owner doesn't have a license, then the police may kick me out again for the third time, like they did in my rooms in Tan Binh and Binh Thanh. Feel free to find me and talk to me. I am even on Youtube.

Re: Share a Room with a Male English Teacher

I am in a shared room in district 12 of HCM right now. I am paying 500,000 VND per month. I just moved in a few days ago. Owners must have licenses or police can make the foreigners or people move out. i do not know if the owner has a license or not. I do not how long I may stay here or if they will let me stay. I am always interested in considering moving to other rooms or shared rooms. I open to suggestions. I am also looking for teaching jobs. I have been in Vietnam for 9 months. I have been teaching English. I have not been working or getting paid during July and August 2013. I am looking for work. Talk to me on Facebook and email and other places. I am building a website with a friend, called http://MeaOmnia.com

My Facebook name is Original oatmeal. My other name is Joey Arnold. I make movies, write, sing, dance, build things, counsel, teach, direct, produce, basketball, games, and so many other things. Look up my name to find me all over the internet.

Re: Share a Room with a Male English Teacher

$25 USD (500,000 VND) is the cheapest room I have ever found. I share it with a 25 year old Vietnamese man who studies English. He graduated college. He is not working. I sleep on the hard floor. There are bugs, no windows, no shower head. I am here to save money. He is not giving me a room key. He does not trust me. He is usually home. I have a curfew. He wants me home before 11 PM each day. I would come and go as I please. No fridge, drinking water. I teach him English for a few hours for free. His parents was paying the room for him until I came. Some people think that other people have tons of money. I am here to save money. I have no job. I am not qualified for any job. I may run out of money soon. He does not seem to understand. He asks me for money for gas, food, and things. I would love to find a better place when I can.

  • hi
  • September 28
  • Hello Joey..
  • September 29
  • nice pic
  • September 30
  • thanks
  • September 30
  • u welcome, u beautiful
  • October 1
  • how r u
  • Monday
  • all is good here thanks
  • Monday
  • you have beautiful eyes....
  • Monday
  • thanks
  • always.... keep up the good work for me..... we should be friends on Facebook..... have you been to Vietnam?
  • Monday
  • yes .. I lived in Thailand for 1 yr and my husband and I would go to Laos every month due to our visa ... we also like our privacy and only use FB for close friends and family ... it minimizes drama ... we only have an account on tagged because we enjoy playing pets
  • Monday
  • I use Tagged to make friends with everybody. You can try your best to minimize drama and conflicts, and that is good, but be careful because not everything can be avoided. Drama is always going to find you. If you want privacy, do not use Facebook or Tagged or websites. Things can be hacked.
  • Monday
  • You are correct my friend and i am sure you are nice man and I agree everything can't be avoided, however prevention starts from avoidance its a good practice. Yes true you can't hide from drama, but again it can be minimized just from our choices we make.  Yes, there is always a chance to be hacked, but  first people must know where to go too hackDon't get me wrong I don't live in a bubble ... Unlike you I am only here to play PETS and not to socialize with people I probably will never meet in person . I keep my account here to play PETS only and I do socialize with other people that play pets too with the topic remaining on such
  • Tuesday
  • I have played pets a few times on Tagged.com, but pets is designed as a game that helps people meet people. Some people say that they only play pets for fun, but the game is all about meeting people. I am not mad at you. You can do what you want. You said "But first people must know where to go to hack," but I am not sure what you mean by that exactly. Some people have told me that they that if they become friends with a hacker, then that will enable the hacker. In other words, they say that if you become friends with a hacker, that will give the hackers the power to hack your account, but that is not exactly true. You say you socialize with people who play pets on Tagged, but everybody on Tagged plays pets, but some people play it more than others.
  • You say you are not here to socialize, but you still socializes.
  • Tuesday
  • I don't socialize on a PERSONAL level... if people want information regarding pets then I assist them however I can that is what I mean by socializing through PETS ... I don't share anything personal about myself than what is written on my profile ... If someone wants to hack this account fine... there is nothing here that could ever harm me... all my friends i socialize with on a personal level are on my FB and all my friends there are people I know .. family class mates neighbors etc... there is NO ONE on my FB account that i have not met in person... my friends list on my FB account is very small and limited...
  • Tuesday
  • Dude my wife and I play pets and we share each others accounts cuz we hide nothing. She stated she doesn't socialize just wants to enjoy pets. Man what is the problem with that ?
  • Tuesday
  • I did not say that was a problem
  • That is not exactly what I am saying
  • Ok then my mistake
  • I am just informing about the purpose behind Pets
  • Pets was created to cultivate social networking
  • Yes.. I understand the intentions of it..
  • The line between personal socializing and non-personal socializing is a line that is blurred
  • Ok. have you played PETS lately..?
  • It's also a CUT throat GAME
  • I played pets a month ago
  • too many people take the game way tooo serious and make it personal.. therefore a lot of those intentions have been lost...
  • The information about Pets involve talking about people because the game is about buying people
  • that means when people buy you in Pets, they can talk about you, which is therefore personal matters because they are talking about you
  • You are preaching to the choir here  lol
  • Yes.. I know.. that.. try communicating with some of the big players here and see how far you get .. specially if you are an active pet player
  • most accounts are private.. trying to get into that circle of friends is just about impossible.. unless you have enough cash to buy them...
  • the intentions and how it is .. is like not and day my friend
  • I meant like night and day
  • the purpose is LOST
  • Sure as long as you have cash and can buy serious players sure they will communicate with you.. until there bought ... and POOF that friendship is gone...
  • There are people here that put in 100's of dollars in just one month to PLAY this game... it's how they stay on top... PETS is a business for Tagged .. with out GOLD and PETS tagged would have been history a long time ago.. especially after tagged stop supporting the MAF
  • MAFIA game
  • and where you have money my friend.. you have GREED, JEALOUSY and ENVY..
  • So as I said.. the intentions? very few serious players give any thought to that
  • I cant even COUNT how times my wife been proposition in PETS.. skype with me chat with me.. show me your boobs.. lets have phone sex.. offers in cash to chat... or be bought in pets ...  Don't get me wrong.. I am not saying you're like that.. but TAGGED is HOME for a lot of perverts..
  • So as my wife said.. we minimize our self from that ...
  • Tuesday
  • I am not exactly preaching to the choir. It is not always that simple.
  • the pets game is very silly i think
  • I do not believe in doing certain things to get others to like me, to let me in to their circles
  • I like the idea of buying people, in playing Pets, but if I wanted to protect my privacy, I would not play Pets..... if I want privacy, and to have a private profile, and to avoid meeting strangers and to socialize... i would avoid the internet
  • friendships based on Pets is a conditional bond based on those conditions, which means not a real friendship.... i do not like fake friends like that
  • I barely have enough money to buy food and rent in Vietnam. I have been without work for the last 2 months. But some people do spend money on games while I spend money to survive with no work, job, income, money, cash.
  • i like Mafia
  • i dont like greed, jealousy, envy
  • Tagged is full perverts
  • Dangerous world out there. Be careful. Why is your name here No Buy?
  • Thursday
  • I am Retired U.S. Army (22yrs service) with pension living here in the Philippines with my family. I choose to live here so that i don't have to work unlike in the U.S. were I received my pension and was working two jobs just to stay ahead. While living here in the Philippines we are pretty much financially secured and I or my wife have a need to work. I hope things pick up for you soon there. I for one agree with you that paying money to play games is not my idea of choice, however I don't condemn the ones that do, as I am sure they have a reason for what they are doing. Our name here is NO BUY so that we won't get bought in PETS .. like i said Pets can be a cut throat game and many players here choose to not be bought using n/b or no buy in there name. Pets is a strategy game and more to it then just buying pictures. But since you feel it's a stupid game then i won't waste my time going into details explaining how the strategy works to get ahead. There more to pets then just getting bought and having your value raise. There is a ranking in Pets with a goal to achieve. For example your assets is more important then having your value raise and another reason why people choose not to be bought so that they can buy and sell pets without having their value raise.  Also my side line job in the Army was System Administrator/Network Security Officer so I am pretty savvy when it comes to computer.
  • Thursday
  • i will send you a friend request to my two accounts here
  • Thursday
  • My neighbors in the USA were filipinnos.
  • You can't stop people from buying you in Pets. If they have the cash, they will buy you.
  • It is not exactly stupid. I did not say that I do not care about the game exactly. I was trying to say that some people are silly for how they play it.
  • I build websites.
  • 7 hours ago
  • Sorry ... my friend.. but don't try to insult my intelligence in the game of PETS i have been an active PET PLAYER for years LOL!!! but you are wrong .. People will NOT intentionally buy a pet once it has reached a HIGH VALUE such in our case.. none of our accounts have ever been bought with a NO BUY on it .. and we also do not buy pets that have a no buy on it ...  its a respect that serious high value player give one another ... If you buy a pet with a no buy intentionally you are taking a risk because most will stop playing that account and Identify who ever bought that account (THE NEW OWNER) as being STUPID or an IDIOT and will stop buying pets from the new owner. Some players being bought as No buy have stop playing that account or delete their account. This of course hurts the new owner cash so it's not something we practice doing and Its a respect we give to one another. Its the way SERIOUS and HIGH VALUE PET PLAYERS play ... you should learn how BIG players play before assuming things, but of course again you think us big players play silly LOL! But of course at  your current level meaning your pet value yes you probably would get bought with a no buy on your account because most small players whom can afford to buy you are not serious players and and the people I have help grow big had NO IDEA what a no buy meant so I will consider the source. However most serious pet players would never purchase you based on your stats and playing history and if you were owned buy a serious PET PLAYERS you would have been set free a long time ago meaning you would have no owner but there I go explaining strategy again... sorry about that.
  • 2 hours ago
  • I did not insult your intelligence. You are taking things too personally and you are misinterpreting my words in what I was actually trying to say.
  • People are unpredictable. People will try to do all sorts of things regardless of what others may think.
  • A NO BUY is no more a guarantee than signs that says no smoking. You never know what people will do in all situations. Each person is different. Writing NO BUY does help and it does decrease these possibilities, and I understand that, and I understand why you are doing that and I am not against that.
  • When a person says that another person is STUPID, even from evidence of the Pets game, it is still potentially a premature judgement that may not matter. What people think about you does not matter. What matters in life is doing the right thing. Hypothetically, if buying a NO BUY pet was the right thing, I would do it. Usually, you should not, but hypothetically there could be a reason why it would be the better choice.
  • I did not say that you personally play silly, or that the big players play silly, and that is not exactly what I am saying, and I more referring to something else more deeper and something that is not exactly like how you describe. You are misreading what I am trying to say.
  • I never told you that I do not want to know about strategy. I never said that I did not care. You started assuming that I hate strategy. I care about strategy a whole lot. I love strategy. I never said that I do not care about that.
