Miscellaneous Chuvahness
2008-05-14 17:14:00
After the hospital, my children and I went to Jollibee to eat (for the sake of the IRONMAN item). It's been awhile since we went out because of a tight budget.Oh well, it was good that I have my SSS maternity papers signed. I am going to bring it to my previous workplace to get it processed with the week. And maybe a few weeks from now, I will receive my maternity benefit and that would be really good.Anyway, it's amazing how God answers prayers immediately. After, I texted my previous boss (the actual owner of the company), I got a text message from Human Resources that my separation pay has been finalized and will be released within this week! Isn't that good news??Thank you Lord and for those that prayed for me. Anyway, I am really glad that God balances everything. I mean if you are a regular reader of my controversial () life, you might have noticed that I have been blogging about ups and downs of my life - blessings and pains! Well, though sometimes, I envy other blogs with...

Simplicity is Beauty
2008-05-14 11:19:00
When I was doing a series of posts about my dream home, I don?t only blog about the physical designs of my dream house but also its interior fixtures. Just like my blog posts about pearl, I really desire simple beauty when it comes to the things I used and to the things that surrounds me.Having asthmatic children, I always prefer that my dream house would use blinds. Aside from its beauty, blinds are easy to clean from dusts. It will also save you from future expenses on additional cleaning materials.There are many kinds of blinds and these are of course produced in horizontal and vertical orientation. Since my dream home would have big windows, I prefer to have simple vertical blinds. And I saw one that I really love from Select Blinds. They have these white vertical blinds that would really look great in my living room. Well, there are also brown wooden blinds that would also match my kitchen theme. Actually they have plenty of designs to choose from and most of them come in styli...

Follow-Up!!
2008-05-14 07:48:00
I am off to the hospital today. I am tagging my children along with me. My house help went home because she wanted to see her mother (of course, I can't say no to that). SSS brought back my maternity benefit papers because they wanted the name of the person who signed it. So, I guess I really needed to go and get things done (even though its still raining). It can really help pay for my children's needs.I resigned from my work last February and until now, I didn't get my separation pay. I am still following it up.Well, there is a blessing after all. All I needed to do is follow-up it only. Can you help me pray for it? I think it's better to follow-up Someone who has a greater influence in all situation.

Pearl Jewelry
2008-05-14 05:48:00
When I was still single, I dreaded using pearl jewelries. They say when you are single and you wear a pearl jewelry, you might not get married! Of course, being young as I was before (and still am now), I really don?t want to end up being single all my life. I want to have babies and my own family.Well now, that I am married and have babies already, I can?t get enough of pearl jewelry. When I was working as a manager before, my accessories are always pearl related jewelries. I had a simple Pearl Jewelry design and I have some that are mixed with other organic materials. Wearing a pearl jewelry emphasizes simplicity and elegance which is my prime choice when I wear accessories. I don?t want to overdo myself.Lately, I have found a website that sells pearl jewelries ? lightinthebox.com. They have a lot of designs. All are simple and elegant. They have many designs with black and white pearls. They sell pearl jewelry in sets, individual designs (ear stud pearls) and also other sophistic...

My Other Blog Failed
2008-05-14 05:01:00
Pinay Mommy Online has been very blessed lately with few money making activities. Though it makes me happy knowing that it can help me with my financial problems, it really worries me also that the turnabout of my posts are happening very fast. I don't want my readers to miss out some important matters. So, I decided to submit my blog OnlineBiz and Resources. Unfortunately, since it blogs about online business opportunities and online business resources, my blog posts were considered as all paid though I only made one paid post their (aside from the survey) and the rest are non-paid posts already. Well, it's really so sad that my other blog didn't make it.I really wanted Pinay Mommy Online to take some rest. But (still fortunately), I really needed the money (and I am not a fake to admit it). If its available, then, I would grab it. My kids not being enrolled is starting to worry me (and breaking my heart into pieces). So, I needed every possible way to earn money and make ways f...

Online Backup
2008-05-13 20:04:00
Have you ever experienced data loss? You got a serious bug in your PC and you have no choice but reformat it and losing all data? Well, I did. One time I downloaded something from the internet and it turned out to be an ADWARE. It kept on popping and popping and it wouldn?t end. So, I decided to send it to a PC clinic and have it reformat and all my data were lost. I had a hard time collecting and remembering all my passwords. But what really saddens me is that I lost all my important emails of payment receipts which are vitally important to online banking supports.Anyway, I was able to come across a new system on safeguarding data by using an online backup service. At iBackUp.com, they will provide you 10GB of online storage for your data for only $9.95 a month but you can avail of their FREE trial so that you can test their system. Now, they have not only opened their online backup service on PC data storage alone but also data coming from iPhones and other handheld devices. They ...

New Learnings: Umbrella Company
2008-05-13 15:48:00
As I was looking ways to earn income online, I find myself in every money making info websites. Just lately, somebody told me to visit Umbrella Supermarket. Since more options are needed for better assessment on what money making I will get myself involved to, I visited the website to check it out.While I was going to the website, I was already entertaining the thought about the Umbrella Company of the movie ?Resident Evil.? That is quite very funny though. When I visited the site, it was not related to the movie at all except for the name ?Umbrella? of course.As Mr.Wikipedia defines it? ??as a company that acts as employer to independent contractors who work under temporary contract, usually through a specialist employment agency.?To sum it up, Umbrella Supermarket is a place where you can find an umbrella company to work with us an independent contractor. If you are a contractor with talents, you can browse through their top 100 UK umbrella companies to work with. They have review...

Remember my previous post that I might start an internet café? Well, if my cousin likes the idea, it will probably come to pass. I already made some major thinking on what kind of computers I would buy to make it more profitable and efficient. I also started to look for used cisco systems for the routers and switches. At least if I get a go signal, I am ready for everything.

Emotions and Emoticons
2008-05-13 04:21:00
I was browsing my Bloglines account when I saw Raine's post on "Which Emoticon Are You?" So, I decided to try out to see which emoticon I am. LOL!! And this is my emoticon according to TICKLE!!Which Emoticon Are You?My Result: BrainiacHey, smarty pants. A curious and inquisitive character like you gets the message in more ways than one. While some people may use IM to pass along gossip or simply kill time, you probably like to use that brainpower for more thoughtful discussions on topics like politics, the latest news headlines, or even as a great way to laugh at yourself when you've missed the obvious.For you, IM most likely serves a useful purpose. Whether you're talking to a friend overseas, asking a co-worker about a project, or solving the problems of the world, you're using that mental muscle of yours. But don't think you can't make fun of yourself, too. You like serious topics, but you're not one to take yourself too seriously. So keep it up, brainiac! That's a smart...

Silly Question
2008-05-13 04:15:00
One of the common things hubby and I have is Hollywood movies watching particularly action movies. Though we also like Filipino movies but we like watching more of the Hollywood produced movies because of the cinematography and of course how actors and actresses portray their characters.Last week, we we?re watching cable reruns of Terminator 3. We have watched this movie several times since we have a DVD copy of it. This movie has a lot of action sequences that involves a lot of car flying and crashing around. Just out of the blue, I asked my husband if these cars have car insurance. Then he looked at me and both of us laugh.Well, I guess it was a silly question but it really made us both laugh that time which of course I find very sweet. I think we both needed it - laughing together.

Sleeping and School Opening
2008-05-13 02:30:00
I just want to announce that I was able to sleep again last night and so as my babies. I am really proud about sleeping nowadays. Hehehe... I think the much needed rest is steadily being availed every night. LOL!!Anyway, aside from blogging opportunities, I am currently looking for ways to increase my online income. As part of my financial planning goals, I need to have an ideal monthly online income enough to pay the bills and buy my little ones new items for school. Yeah, school is about to open here in the Philippines and my children haven't been enrolled (I am counting on hubby to take care of this). Though its making me worry now but I needed to clear-up my mind. Worry would make me even more loss focus.By the way, do you have any idea where I can find online work opportunities or even referrals for a future employer? I would really love to know. Thanks!

SocialSpark - Socially Sparkling!!
2008-05-12 08:02:00
Every time I blog hopped, I always see a graphical signage that has a cute flame character on it. Since I am a very curious person, I clicked on it. Right there and then, I have encountered SocialSpark. Excited with my new discovery, I started hoping to my friend?s blogs. To my amazement, I have discovered that most of them have already joined and I realized, probably, I am the last one to sparkle socially! I am already very late. They have already started to enjoy this new way of socially monetizing their blogs.Well, though I felt very last, I am proud to say that I have already joined the bandwagon and I am a full-pledged socially sparking member of SocialSpark. And who wouldn?t be? They have a very friendly interface for advertisers and bloggers to socially interact thus transparency is being fostered. Aside from that, bloggers alike can also intermingle with each other thus building a solid community. Their site is like a social networking website with an added super plus benefi...

Technorati Updates on PMO
2008-05-12 06:49:00
About 3 months ago when I bought Pinay Mommy Online's domain name, I was very sad seeing my Page Rank 3 and Technorati Authority drop to ZERO. I was very much depressed that being a newbie (and still I consider myself am), I felt so helpless about it.But now...all things are not the same. All efforts (with God?s grace of course) have been granted. Aside from the page rank of this blog, Pinay Mommy Online has reached a Technorati Authority of 748 and just recently has been faved by over a hundred fans already.If you like, please, allow me to share how it came to be:1. Be a technorati addict ? you need to have a motivation when you start. LOL!!2. Big Bang Meme ? Monday Morning Power (thank you very much!) initiated this project early this year. I was so happy that in my early stages of blogging, I was invited to participate. Being listed as number 79, it really took my link a long way!3. Tags and Memes ?

Small Business Loans
2008-05-12 05:14:00
Part of our financial planning for a better future is to start a home-based business maybe a small internet café near at my mom?s old store in Cagayan. Since we lacked the financial capacity to do by ourselves, I thought about asking my cousin in the US to help us with it since our (me and my cousin) plans before didn?t push through.So, I decided to be prepared just in case she asks me if I have found a better deal on Small Business Loans . Luckily, I was lead to EZUnsecured.com. They offer this kind of loans along with credit card offers and debt consolidation services.At EZUnsecured.com, it is hard not to get attracted to their website to read more. They have this ?No Time + No Collateral = No Problem? tag line which really makes you curious and so I was. So, I was able to found out that they offer their financial products at an easy, fast and no hassle way. They provide ways on how one can easily expand their business or start a new one even though they don?t have collaterals to p...

Sleepy, Sleeping and Slept
2008-05-12 04:17:00
For about two weeks, I was not able to sleep normally. I would go to bed around 7:00 in the morning and wake up at 12 noon. It was becoming unhealthy and even my children are following my pattern. It made me worry but there where opps to grab and I needed them (badly!). But yesterday, I tried to finish all that I can. So about 1:00 early dawn today, I was able to sleep.Though I woke-up around 6:00am because I needed to take care of hubby's needs, I was just happy that I got a sound sleep. Well, I felt a little sleepy right now. I still lack sleep but I needed to stay awake. Don't want to stay alive all night again. Wanted to live my blogging life as normal as possible. Enough opps and enough sleep.Blogging can really change lives?and sleeping patterns too! LOL!!

Practical Memories
2008-05-11 18:02:00
My hubby and I were talking about making a list on what I should be bringing when I go home. We need to take some few things to lessen on the expenses that will occur with the freight forwarders. For me personally, I wanted to bring all our things. Some of which are those that I bought when we were not yet together which of course holds memories. We also thought of selling some of the heavier items and buy new ones like a dining room furniture.Actually, there are a lot of things we need to talk about considering the distance from Bacolod to Cagayan and not to mention, the means of transportation. Sometimes, I felt being torn again between practicality and memories when it comes to deciding what to do with our things. It's very very hard.

New Learnings: Closed Captioning
2008-05-07 17:12:00
Have you ever wondered how subtitles are made? Subtitles are the text you commonly see at the lower portion of the screen while you watch movies in DVD formats. Subtitles where created either for language translation or for making the deaf understand. These texts are incorporated to movies through closed captioning.Closed captioning is done best when translators are well-educated in the language used and if done through state-of-the-art equipments. There are many companies nowadays that offer captioning services but sometimes, you need to find great providers to prevent poor translations. Watching movies with poor translation is very irritating. I think you understand what I mean. ;)

Learning never stops. Do you agree?? I do! I always believed that learning never stops in college or in any doctorate endeavor. Life as a matter of fact, keeps on teaching us every day. Now, learning anything is just a click away. Having the internet as an open source of information, you can learn anything you want. If you want to learn a new language, you can. A new skill, you also can.Lately, I stumbled upon a great design blog. It teaches a lot of things about how to design your blog. In its latest post, the ?Top Three Wed Design Basics? is very helpful. It opened my mind to many great ideas on how I can improve my blog?s design. Aside from design tips and information, the blog also has very educational content when it comes to Google and even Page Ranks. And if you need a good reading on CSS, website templates and also SEO, the author has great posts to offer.If you are interested in learning more about these things, please take time to stumble yourself to Stylish Design.com

Less Travel. More Profit.
2008-05-06 18:51:00
When I was working as a corporate manager before, the most tiring experience was going to Manila for a meeting. Not because of information overload but because of the traffic. And as I arrived in the airport, I have to go directly to the Philippine Stock Exchange for our meeting. I have to budget my time. I don?t have to luxury to waste my time being stuck in traffics.But I discovered that most foreign countries nowadays don?t meet this way anymore. They install video conference software to save time and expenses. Using this kind of technology can help lessen business trips thus cutting-off major expenses and can provide more profits. Such business solution is considered as an asset as it makes business transactions more convenient and more profitable to business owners.With this video conference software, people will have lesser time spending in traffics and more on big things such as finding ways to expand their businesses even more!

Everything Works Together for Good

It?s been a long time since I have participated in Tuesday Toot!! I felt that I have nothing to TOOT about. Hehehehe? Well, I am happy actually. I think that is enough to toot about, don?t you think?? Sometimes people find it hard to be happy when you are drowning in a lot of problems.Aside from my known marital woes and financial difficulties right now, I am still happy! Why?? Because I am alive! Being alive gives me enough reason not to give-up. As long as I am alive, I have hope. And if you have hope?future looks bright because hope is only found in Jesus! And besides that, I am still at home with my kids. I haven?t arrived to the point that I have to look for work again and leave my kids at home. And good Mr.Google gave my blogs a (page rank) chance to earn more!God just balances everything for our own sake. I firmly believe that everything works together for good to those who love Him!! And I think that is something to TOOT about!!Happy Tuesday Toot!!
