Swamp!

Just because I wanna travel next year... I had to get a side job aside from my present regular online job. Not that I'm complaining but currently, I don't have time for farmville (lol)... just kidding. What I mean to say was I don't have enough time to sleep because I have to think of the pending tasks that I have to accomplish for my other client.

I am very happy to have lots of opportunities to earn extra but it can be mind-draining, too! Well as they say-- No pain, no gain!

Blogs Worth Reading

This is one of those days (or night, for I'm posting this at 11:36pm Manila time) that I don't have anything to do and just let the time fly through browsing. I saw from my favorite forum some blogs recommend for good reading.

Now here are my recommendations (not in any particular order):

1. Hay! Men! Ang blog ng mga tunay na lalake - humor
2. Practical Soulfood for Successful People - inspirational
3. Sosyalera.net - humor
4. Nina Fuentes' Just Wandering - travel
5. Balut & Natto - humor/relationship/culture
6. Kalibugan, kalokohan, etc. - humor (whatta title!)
7. Kwentong Tambay - humor
8. Pounding Heartbeat - inspirational/love
9. Wanderboy - travel/photography
10. Oohhh.. LaLa!!! - lifestyle/celebrity

I'm gonna be posting some more. Let me just search some more, too!

You Are Not Alone

Very familiar, huh! Why of course it's one of the hit songs of Michael Jackson (r.i.p). But this is not about him nor his song. It's actually about my former co-worker's situation, same one that I am in currently.

I'm a member of a female forum and I happen to discover that she was also a member of it. In this forum, the member has the option to link their membership on their personal web stuff such as their blog or the social networking group they belong to. So I opened her blog and read her entries. All the while I thought her relationship with her SD (what this stands for??? figure it out, lol) was OK. But it wasn't and we're almost in the same boat.

It's just so sad that a lot of mothers today have become "single parent" because it was not their choice but because of their ex-partner's negligence. I don't wanna sound sexist here but I'm just wondering-- how come guys find it so easy to leave their responsibilities and get back to their bachelorhood? Don't they ever care for their kids? Tsk.

I admit I am having a hard time moving on until now. And maybe this is God's way of telling me not to be afraid with my decision to be happy and just stick to it. I don't want to write down any more details with regards to my previous dilemma (but you can do back-reading of my blog entries and get some background) for I'm sick and tired of making the world know how stupid I was (oops I forgot, -- or maybe slight, lols nth time).

I am not alone.

New Do!

At long last I finally had time to change my blog's design. It looks better now with it's new look (in my opinion). However, I wasn't able to save the settings of my old design. The links are now missing and I have to do them all over again. Oh well, I'm taking it as a blessing in disguise for I'll be able to refresh my so-called mediocre designing skills.

Working From Home... again!

At long last, I am now working from home again... and you will never really appreciate things only except when they're gone. For several months of working office-based, I did enjoy being a part of the commuting "mass" but I began to hate it after a few months of having several bad experiences on my way to work. So I resigned and left a company which doesn't pay much at all. Good riddance!

So now, here I am at the comforts of my home-- slouching on my bed wearing my PJs but still earning! And I thought it was hard to find another WFH job but I was wrong. And I think my new bosses are professionals and considerate. One down side is that I sometimes tend to slack-off and be busy with facebook (blame it on farmville!!!). But in order for me to concentrate and get back to work, I just keep reminding myself that it's hard to find good people you can work with-- paying and treats their staff well. So now, what am I still doing here? I have to W-O-R-K!

Yebahhh!

Thanks to Technology!

Yipee!!!

It's been awhile when I last surf the web and enjoy browsing without leaving my bed. Thanks to technology... I don't have to apply for phone line just to have an internet access at home. Since I'll be leaving the office soon, I decided to be a stay-at-home mom but then I still can't let go of my one and only hobby-- surfing the web. However, I have to be on a budget-- cut the phone lines since I don't really used it often (got my mobile plan).

I applied for Smart Bro - plan 999/month. I say it's very cheap, considering the speed I'm getting. Only had a problem with the pre-installation but then I can say I'm satisfied right now.

Jada's happy as well for she can now watch the "Wondergirls" on youtube all the time. LOL.

A little bit...

I've been an inconsistent blogger. My mind's not very creative lately. Blame it on stress.

I can't think straight and I am suffering insomnia again because of stress. Most often, I had to be absent from work because it's either I was not feeling well or I don't have the energy to do stuff. And I'll be resigning soon!

I'm looking forward to it. So happy that I'll be with my kiddo again -- 24/7! Though I already mentioned I'm stressed most of the time... the main reason why I don't want to go to the office everyday, why I don't want to leave this country, why I just want to stay at home most of the time-- is her. Even though her antics get into my nerves at times... still, I so lurvvv my little one.

I maybe a little bit sad because I have to leave my job... but then, I know the sacrifice is all worth it. :)
