Yes, that is right. I got scammed by a certain Chinese woman from Harvard University. Fellow virtual assistants, beware of this outsourcer who will sweet talk you into doing a job for her and keep on delaying payments, agrees with you on terms and conditions initially. Then gets back at you during pay up time with the words “I have gone over budget for this project.” I just altogther told her to keep the $162 dollars to herself. Not because I don’t need the money. I’m doing my virtual assistant job precisely because we need the pay that I receive to help supplement the family income. Read the rest of this entry »

I spent the majority of this day sorting clothes from the little guy’s closet. This is something that mothers with growing kids have to get into doing every so often. I have already stashed away clothes that don’t fit him anymore and will soon be given away to friends who have toddler boys.

I finally got Lady Rouge’s plate. A few days short to 2 months since we got her. It’s registration is good for 3 years. Sweet! Something I don’t have to worry that long is always a good thing, right? Read the rest of this entry »

Thoughts of summer evoke so many popular American pastimes including barbecues, picnics, sunbathing, and pool parties. Swimming is the perfect way to cool off on a hot summer day. A dip in the pool is also way to relax at a barbecue with friends and family during warm summer evenings. Swimming is also a dynamic form of exercise, appealing to people who often are unable to do other forms of exercise due to pain and health problems. Read the rest of this entry »

The hubby and I had to cut our respective post paid lines with one mobile network. It was the first network I ever subscribed with, dating back from 1997. I was with them 10 years and they only proved to deteriorate in their service, despite the various new offers they give out to clients, new and old. We finally said our goodbyes when we knew we have had it with all the charges from nowhere in our bills. That is, after six long months of following up on the reversal of the charges. I don’t know how other clients put up with them. But I definitely know a bunch of people who have switched to the competing network with the same sentiments as ours.

And when I say job, I have plenty. If at all, multi tasking has become my forte. Aside from web content writing, covering events and being the sole queen of my household with no help, I also manage to do virtual assistant jobs for a few hours each day.

We have decided that we will have to delay the construction of our home’s upstairs. The reason being, we need a vehicle that we don’t need to have repaired week in and week out. In less than a couple of weeks, we will be bringing home our very own spanking brand new baby. We are pretty excited about it. We have been praying about this for years and the Lord is ever faithful to have our prayers answered. Like He always would, in His perfect time.

It was a couple of weeks ago that the hubby and I considered buying a second hand 2004 Altis instead of buying a brand new car. It’s way cheaper for one. We really could make use of a better car than the 1989 hatchback we’re currently using now. Its being submerged during the Ondoy flooding did not help its already ancient state. So much repairs are needed to be done and it has dented so much of our savings already, that the wisest thing to do is just have it replaced altogether.

The hubby and I “hoarded” on copies of the March 2010 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine. After browsing through racks upon racks in supermarket and department stores for days, it was only recently that we were able to get hold of them. Sure enough, we took everything in the magazine stand. They only got 4! That does not really count as hoarding yet, right? 
And if there were more, we would have gladly gotten more. For how often does anyone get to be featured in a magazine, right?

The hubby and I were interviewed by Rowena Wendy Lei last December for Good Housekeeping March 2010. And I was finally able to get copies yesterday! Yey! It is our first time to be featured and allow us to just relish the moment! The hubby and I basically talked about how we ventured into monetizing blogs and shared some bits and pieces how we make money online.
The article is pretty lengthy. Here’s just to give you a peek..
Hmm.. they switched my middle name and last name. But it’s still me all right. I don’t mind much. But it would have been perfect if they got that one right. Go grab your copy now!

The hubby has announced some weeks ago about launching his online store. I recently did a quick tour and the store did look very interesting. Smilds has allowed for people to venture into this kind of online business without the hassle of leaving the house and having all the transaction done in a click of a button.

Here are my son’s office and mine, side by side. Both were hand made by the hubby. It was imperative that both tables were placed like such. It would be the most convenient, even as we do our home school classes everyday. I couldn’t have imagine we will be able to pull it off. I remember at around the same time last year, we were trying to figure out how we will be able to fit in our son’s study nook in our tiny house. Just look at what we were able to squeeze in. Not just our son’s office but mine as well.

It is the day after Christmas and guess what I have been up to? Rummaging on stuff struck by Ondoy that I left at the table in our garage to dry. Most items were already discarded months ago but there are still a few things we hoped to salvage and so after exactly 3 months, some documents, books, even pictures are now completely dry. I still had to sort them though and finally throw away the hopeless stuff. It’s heartbreaking to throw pictures away but I’m left with no choice. But there were a bunch that I was able to salvage and that’s just a blessing. I had to sanitize everything as well. Read the rest of this entry »
