a woman’s shell

despedida

My sister-in-law told me that a former colleague is going to migrate to another country this month. After experiencing how was it like to live in a foreign land, I understood the excitement they are feeling at the moment. New environment, and I must say, seemingly greener pasture. But come to think of it, there will be a ton of adjustments requiring immediate attention. For help, it is wise to contact cross country movers so the migration will be hassle-free. Aside from that, I am also certain that they will miss the kind of carefree life only the Filipinos enjoy. Oh, especially the Pinoy food and delicacies. It is even hard and lonely to celebrate occasions there especially if you’re the type who got used to celebrating with a lot of relatives and friends.

Since I understand the need to search for a greener pasture, personally I can sing MANILA, MANILA… I’LL KEEP COMING BACK TO MANILA, SIMPLY NO PLACE LIKE MANILA… MANILA, I’M COMING HOME! with all my heart.

Though they say that there will be no progress in this country, I am not going to trade my homeland to any other.

online store

I am planning to have an online store. I have seen a lot of stay-at-home moms doing the same thing, and I guess I am joining the bandwagon! I am equally excited and apprehensive. Of course, I am afraid to fail.

So why online store? Well, simply because I do not have the capital to put up a boutique somewhere, and that is why I am taking this first entrepreneurial move in the worldwide web. I just have to set up the site, which I think is not very daunting, and VOILA!, I am already a store owner!

Besides, the operating cost is not that high since I do not have to rent a space, buy some stuff like receipt printer, employ some people to help me manage the store, and pay for taxes!

Please, please, please pray for me! I need a lot of your prayers!

excited with life ahead

I have become very these past few days taking little steps to achieving all my plans. They are not that grand, as other people may think. But I am carefully taking one step at a time as I am also afraid of failure and mistakes. Admittedly, I have committed a lot in the past, and I do not want to make the some flaws anymore.

I am also looking for some online jobs to help my hubby augment our income. I do not want to compromise the time that I spend with my kids, and so I still want to just be working at home. I am looking for ways to accomplish all my plans.

Things are going great for me. I am very positive that everything will just be perfect for me and for the whole family

loving f.colayco

I have recently purchased a book entitled “Wealth within Your Reach” authored by Francisco Colayco. For me, this is a must-read for everyone, especially the OFW’s who are working so hard to earn for the family. I have bought one for myself, and I think I will have to buy one again foe my best friend who is currently in the U S of A.

One valuable advice that he gave is for everyone to have life insurance. Hmmm, I am thinking about getting one for myself.

It’s not really impossible for us to have a more secure future. This book is highly recommended!

glad to see a good friend

I believe that chance encounters do not merely happen by chance or by accident. There must be a purpose for everything.

I was on my way to Greenhills Shopping Center when I have accidentally seen my friend in Gateway Mall. I was so excited to see her. We’ve been planning to see each other, but time does not permit us to do so. I am so happy! God must have done a way for both of us!

She has changed! She has grown a lot bigger than the last time I saw her. She said she is planning to use lipo 6 hers, though she is still quite hesitant about it. I advised her to do things naturally, but she told me that she has no time for that. So she wants to take the easy route available.

I am sure that will not be the last time. I am just so grateful to see one of my best friends!

fats all over

I am starting to take baby steps in burning belly fat I have accumulated since my first pregnancy. I know this will not be very easy, but I keep on telling myself that I should do this, not just for vanity’s sake, but for health reasons as well.

Just the other day, I bought this exercise machine called body slender which I think will help me keep my focus on my goals. I am determined to do this, I’ll just post some updates in the days to come.

met new friends

Last Tuesday, I met some people who seemed so interesting. Well, maybe because I haven’t met a lot of people in the past 2 years. Or maybe it was due to the fact that we all share a common interest.

When I told them that I was a work-at-home-mom, I got a lot of questions and they all seemed to be so intrigued with what I do. I told them that I was earning with my blogs. They didn’t know that blogs can also be a source of income. They even asked me for some tutorials. But I warned them that it may be so easy to write posts on your blogs, but the issue of traffic and page rank may not be as easy as it may seem. One has to be familiar with some seo tools.

Well, I promised to send them tutorials in e-mail. I hope I’ll find the time to do that soon.

serious blogging

It is one of my resolutions for the new year: to allot more time and effort in blogging. I admit I have somehow taken it for granted. I was just making a few quick posts because I was so busy with other things. But now I intend to treat my bloggies like babies. I’ll pamper them with so much love and care. Tomorrow, I’ll be starting to submit them to some free directories to increase their exposure and, maybe, page rank as well.

I hope time will permit me to do this as I am also very busy with some offline tasks.

vanity strikes again…

The whole time I was in Bahrain, I was not really paying so much attention with my looks. I was so busy with a lot of household stuff that I did not notice that I was not taking care of myself as much as I did before. And the notion that I was already a mom of two gave me a reason to ignore what other people might think about how I look.

But vanity has found its way back to me. I do not know why, but I have suddenly become interested again in making myself feel good and beautiful. And I realized that we all owe it to ourselves. So now, I am very much interested with those organic and all-natural beauty products that moms like me are raving about. I even informed my niece about these best anti wrinkle creams that I have seen in a forum. I hope that will be useful for her.

In just one shower, I am using six different soaps for the face and the whole body. They are all just making me feel sooooo good!

for safety’s sake

Hubby is terribly missing the kids. He always finds time to talk to them over the phone everyday. They all take pleasure in seeing each other using ym’s video call service. I must say they are missing each other a lot.

Sometimes I cannot help but feel irritated because husband is always asking about the kids and reminding me about their safety. He really is so protective of the kids. He even bought humidifier filters to make sure that the air his kids are breathing is clean.

But I do tell him that the kids also need to be independent. And they willlearn how to be just like that only if they will be allowed to grow on their own.
