Can't Sleep

I hate it... been awake for 2 hours and what pains me is that I can't sleep on a day wherein I don't have extra work. Well, my body clock's used to this sleeping pattern already. It's not healthy but what can I do? I can't afford to sleep as of the moment... after being "penny-less" for the past 3 months, I grabbed every task placed on my tray. After all, I have so many plans for the coming year. And if I don't work, then I can't make my plans turn into reality.

So what will I do now? Hayzzz...

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. :)

The Virtual Office

Hello again!

Haven't been blogging lately but now... I'm back with a vengeance! LOL, just kidding.

I recently created a new blog courtesy of wordpress free blog account. Why wordpress and not blogger? I just want to explore the difference between these two blogging engines and figure out which is better and user-friendly.

Please visit my new blogsite dedicated to online workers (more oftenly termed as Virtual Assistants). In these site, I hope to help virtual workers, like me--find online jobs, get tips on how to secure an online job, help other virtual workers and a whole lot more.

Would You Be A Cool Parent?

You Will Be a Cool Parent

You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need. You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law. While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top. You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant!

Would You Be a Cool Parent?

Are You Depressed?

Your Depression Level: 80%

You seem to have moderate depression. Your symptoms are bad enough that they're effecting your everyday life. You would benefit greatly from professional help.

Are You Depressed?

What's Wrong With My Ex? (Very True lol)

Your Ex is Dependent

Your ex is dependent on others from almost everything - and has trouble accepting responsibility. Your ex is not able to be independent and fears being alone. People with dependent personality disorder feel helpless when a relationship ends and need constant reassurance. Sound at all familiar?

What's Wrong With Your Ex?

Are You Burned Out?

You Are 80% Burned Out

You are very burned out. You need a huge break from your responsibilities, starting as soon as possible. And you need this time to reevaluate what you really want out of your life. Because you're working hard and going no where... and that would burn anyone out!

Are You Burned Out?

Are You Too Negative?

You Are a Little Negative...

You can be negative from time to time, but you rarely go overboard. You have a realistic view of the world, and most people appreciate your honest insights. Like everyone else, you have your darker moods. But when you're feeling super negative, you keep your feelings to yourself.

Are You Too Negative?

A Day of *Sigh*

Have you ever experienced spending your entire day just breathing and sighing? You can tell I'm so b-o-r-e-d right?! Well, I hope that tomorrow's gonna be a good one for me.

First Post for 2009

That is how busy I am. It's a bit frustrating that I've been neglecting my blog for the nth time. I envy other bloggers who still have the time to make at least a post or two despite their busy work sched. Sometimes, I just really don't know what to post. I'm not very vocal about things or I'd rather tell my thoughts to my close friends.

Anyway, none of the things I got excited a few months ago have happened already. Yet, I'm very positive that soon it will. Again, I needed to master the art of being patient. *sigh*

Might be a little too late... but happy new year to everyone!

God is good all the time!

Yes! He's so great that He will not give you what you don't need. He will give you what you deserve!

I'm so happy today because I learned from my bosses that we will be going to Hong Kong for the company excursion on January! But not only that... I will also be joining them on their Costa Rica trip!!! Wow!

A few weeks ago I was praying that He will help me find a job that's gonna be sufficient for me to support my family. Another prayer I had was I hope that my former partner will come into his senses and be man enough to face his responsibilities in our family. I know that God will not grant all my prayers even though I hardly work for it. And this I learned is true! Because He grant me one wish (my job) but He help me accept the fact that I can't be with my partner because he won't make me happy.

All I can say is-- Dear Lord... thank you so much for never neglecting me and always leading me to the right path.

Movement and Changes

Right now if there's one thing I'm looking forward to... it's my work. I'm happy with what I am doing right now. Though I've said that I'm getting le$$ pay, but I think I've reached my professional maturity.

Money isn't everything.

Pennyless

Christmas is nearing and I am so worried again with my finances.

I still haven't bought my godchildren their gifts. I don't have extra money. As of now, I am without anything at all. Blame it with my principle... I left my job recently-- I don't want to be a part of their lies. I just don't want to be fooling any one at all. That's why I left them.

Hay.

Life Choices

I don't have to worry about his birthday anymore. He'll be celebrating it with the third wheel. I just hope he will be happy on his day.

I already gave up... on him... on the future of our family. I think God has already sent me several signs but I just refuse to obey His will. But now, here I am at long last-- finally free from "bondage."

If it's meant to be... it's meant to be.
