The Right Web Host For My Blogs

As a working Mom I am fully aware of the effect of the rising prices of commodities for the last two years and to help my husband to cope up with daily expenses and utilities I decided to monetize my blog as I know it will augment our financial expenses. I’ve worked for several years as an officer in a telecommunications company but decided to leave my office employment and just work at home and concentrate on working full time on my sites. It’s a great blessing from God that I can work at home and still help my husband in our family expenses.

I love writing and through my blogs I can share my experiences in life and some inspirational thoughts too. Writing is my first love and finally I came back to it but with the blessing of earning through writing. To further enhance the full potential of blogging I decided to buy my own domain and to help me decide on the right company to host my website I started on reading reviews like GoDaddy Review. Actually my friend referred the company to me and I just searched for reviews on GoDaddy and decided to buy my domain when I learned from reviews that its high quality service can be relied upon.

It’s almost a year now since I purchased a domain with them and I can say I’m a satisfied customer with its features, capabilities, reliability, dependable technical support, good customer service and many other things that spells good service. I didn’t have any problem with redirecting my site as they have user-friendly tools to help you setup your blog. Their yearly fee for hosting my blog is worth it. Just visit their site for plans and packages that will suit your specific needs.

Enough Blessings to Share

Still I'm not quite adept to working on my tasks now as I also have offline duties and responsibilities at home. I did some last shopping for gifts for my godchildren in our church and for all my brethren. No don't think that I'm rich that I can buy expensive gifts for more than 70 people, I just bought some little nice things for everyone. I'm a smart shopper and I can think of small gifts that won't hurt my budget. It's just my way of sharing my blessings and love to my fellow. I thanked God that He has given me enough blessings for this year and not just financial blessing but spiritual as well. It's also my first Christmas as a WAHM (working-at-home Mom) and I'm glad that I have more time to shop now for gifts and our needs for the holidays, at least I can do my online tasks whenever I have time.

Backup Essentials in our Camp Meeting

Just got back from a fulfilling four-day vacation fellowship in the province away from the bustling city of Metro and up to now I can still remember the cold weather we left there in Indang, Cavite. We brought everything from basic essentials like food, clothing, medicines, staples, car repair kits, some electrical supplies for emergency needs and rechargeable lights just in case we encountered power failure. Anyway everything went well and we consumed our four days without sickness, accidents and emergency cases. We had our best fellowship ever with our renewed relationship with our brethren.

High Quality Accessories for your Chevy

Since we had a car several years back I’ve experienced many things about cars and learned that owning one is like having another baby as you have to take care of it and maintain it the proper way so it will serve you at its best meaning it will not be in trouble in the middle of the road. Anyway we only have a pre-owned car and far from the beautiful model cars I see online but it also needs proper maintenance and careful monitoring of the important parts.

Through our car I learned the proper model and type that should be used by people from all walks of life. I also had a chance to accessorize our car in simple ways and found myself searching online for different accessories that would make our car nice like chevy accessories which is being provided by CARiD. They have all Chevy’s high quality parts you’ll ever need for your precious Chevrolet. You can visit and you’ll see parts from headlights, rails, tires, body kits, steering wheels, hid lights, spoilers, floor mats and more Whether you need these parts for replacements or just want to have some upgrades you can browse carid.com and make your car look as beautiful as ever.

Bathroom Renovation

I’m so happy that we’ve finally finished the first part of our bathroom renovation and we’ll just have the finishing of the walls and some additional accessories. It feels good to have a part of your house renovated or reconstructed because it makes your home more comfortable and beautiful. It’s nice to be at home and happy with what you see around you. I’ve always been an admirer of beautiful houses and interiors and I’m also familiar with such things because my brother is into construction business. Actually he’s the one who taught me where to buy the best bathroom accessories and fixtures before I started our bathroom renovation.

We visited the showroom together and I was amazed at the latest array of BathroomSuite available in the market. There are various models, packages and displays and I was a little bit distracted by the choices that I almost forgot my original choice. I actually had an online searching of different bathroom essentials and everything about bathrooms through browsing at BetterBathrooms.com where they offer a good selection of bathroom suites, furniture, baths, tiles, bidets and many more. I’ve found some really good discount deals on bathroom suites and some of them especially the stock clearance sale offers a 20% off on bathroom tiles when you buy one of their suites, great deals isn’t it? Now having beautiful bathroom is never that expensive.

Holiday Getaway

Holidays are coming soon in a few days but it’s actually starting with Christmas parties, family reunions, never-ending line in mall stores, children singing Christmas carols at the front of our houses and glittering lights and decors all over the place. It’s really festive everywhere and people seems to rush on shopping for clothes, appliances and food. They never seem to get enough of things to prepare on midnight dinner. All these things are happening every year and sometimes I get tired with sore feet, traffic jam and hectic schedule of fitting into all holiday activities. I’m just glad that we have our camp meeting fellowship every holidays which we held in faraway place in provinces away from the busy bustling city. Some people planned their vacation during holidays and they go to beautiful resort like Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resort where they can rest and relax and be free from traditional activities which is sometimes stressful.

Don’t conclude that I don’t want holidays because I really like it because it’s also near my birthday but I just don’t want the hustle and bustle brought about by this favorite season of the year. I’m also a part of the frenzied buyers sometimes but I hate having sore feet and being dizzy on rounding up big malls. It’s really good sometimes to just spend the holidays on one of the places beside the beach like Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels which offers comfort and luxury accommodation to their guests. It’s great having the whole family with you enjoying the beautiful view of the ocean on one of the lavish condo resorts of Towers on the Grove. This new condominium resort offers bedroom condos perfect for holiday getaway of families, couples or even group of friends. Having your vacation here is one thing that you’ll remember for a long time as you’ll have a great time enjoying the beauty of the oceanfront and luxury accommodation of Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotel, perfect for a relaxing stress-free vacation you’ve been planning for.

Now it’s not only luxury, comfort and beauty that you’ll experience there as Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Resorts offers specials and packages without costing you so much with manager’s special rates this December. With activities that will enhance your vacation enjoyment you’re sure to take advantage of enchanted sailing charters and executive helicopter tours, well this is really good for those who loves sailing and seeing magnificent views from helicopter. For me I love their romance package series where coupes can enjoy a romantic and relaxing vacation with spa with free chocolates, champagne and flowers on the side. Will surely love having them on our arrival if ever I’ll have the chance to plan a cozy vacation there. For now I’ll just enjoy my holidays on our local resort here.

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #55

This is my shot of the sky when I went to my daughters' school to assist in their school party. The sky was so clear with soft cotton pure white clouds at the top of one of the houses there. I'm just lucky to spot a place where there's no cables or wire obstructing my view. It was a tiring day for me accompanying my son in their preschool christmas party and visiting my two daughters' school also as parents assisted in the party games of their class. I had a lunch with some of my co-parents there. It was fun indeed!

Accessories for my Phone

I’m not used to adding so many accessories on my mobile phone, well not for my housing as I want the original housing of Motorola. I just want the simple elegant look of my phone with a black housing color. But when it comes to casing I’m interested on looking at various available leather case of Motorola CLIQ Accessories. I found this nice pouch leather case which can protect my cell phone from having scratches or from falling accidentally. For me these CLIQ Accessories is truly a secured safety device for me and for all Motorola users especially those who always find themselves on a tight schedule that they always use their phone for various call transactions. It’s not only a safety device but a pretty carry along pouch that fits Motorola phone perfectly.

There are many Motorola Accessories available for people who really want to make the best of their phones. There are chargers, batteries, headsets, memory cards, data cables, charms and many other useful and beautiful accessories that would make you choose the best for your mobile phone.

Had a Bad Fall!

I had a bad fall last Sunday after our lunch at a fastfood restaurant few blocks from our church. We were leisurely walking back to our church when I suddenly lost my steps and fall on my left side suddenly. My right ankle was the most injured part with dislocated veins which caused my feet to be swollen after many hours. My left knee suffered bruises and my skin were scraped out which gave me pain until now. My right arm and shoulders up to my nape suffered the most because it’s where I forced my whole body to lean on. I was just lucky that the palm of my left hand which turned red recovered after two hours. I had an hour of therapy from my Mom when we arrived home after 6 hours. It was so painful that I nearly screamed my pain; imagine having your veins in your ankle dislocated?

Well I’m beginning to feel alright now except for just little pains in my back and knee. I had to work even I’m sick but just to visit some blogs, read my emails and finish some due tasks, not enough time to bid and get more assignments. Well I guess I should be starting my blogging holiday mode now, don’t you think?

Water Therapy

I’ve learned from my Mom that there are sickness that can be healed by water therapy and we have a book confirming that so when we want to resort to natural healing of minor sickness we apply water therapy. Even if you take medication for fever, colds, cough and some other sickness it also helps a lot if you drink plenty of water. It applies not only to sickness but for someone like me who want to lose excess pound, instead of drinking powdered juices or coffee we should drink water instead and it’s even better if it’s not too cold. Well it seems hard at first but very beneficial to our body if we make it a habit. Just make sure that the water that you drink or you use for therapy is a good, clean and purified water or it’s filtered from contaminants by something like a gswf filter because it’s very important to know that the water we’re drinking is safe and clean for a healthier you.

This is a shot near to my entry last week at the top of the 4-storey residential and commercial building in front of the building where we rent our church venue. It's easier to shoot some sky photos across the building as it's a beautiful frontage of the clouds. The building looks majestic with the clouds almost touching the top. Nice that it's higher than the wires so there's no obstruction for me.

When your Work Always Change Location

My friend is complaining about her rental fee in her current apartment because at the start of the coming year it will increase its monthly rent. It’s hard to budget your money if all basic necessities like food and shelter increases while your salary don’t move a bit. I told my friend that she should think of having her own house instead of spending her money on renting apartment which she can’t own even if she’ll rent for many years. Her only problem with buying her own house is the nature of her job which changes work location after some years.

It’s hard to build a house and leave it when your work transfer you to new location. I told her she should have a mobile home just like manufactured homes I’ve seen online which she can easily transfer when she want to move to a different place. It looks like a regular house also and it has various models and prices.

Moving On

We’re happy now that we’ve moved on from the damages caused by the big flood few months ago. Our appliances were in good working condition except for some furniture that we gave up due to extreme damage. We still have almost all of them and we just have to buy a new sofa for our main living room. We need a big sized living room design furniture for that room as it’s our main area for accepting visitors. We’re still looking for quality but not so expensive furniture and I know DH will take care of that as he’s an expert when it comes to appliances and furniture as his work for 17 years is related to that.

Funny Bumper Stickers

We’re thinking of buying another car as we’re not so sure if our old one will be restored to its original condition after the repair. It was very much affected by the big flood that hit the metropolis and its deep submersion caused much damage. Anyway we can’t afford a new car so we’re looking for pre-owned cars. It doesn’t matter if it’s not a new model as long it will serve the purpose of getting us to church every Sunday, every midweek bible study and on our out-of-town ministry and camp meetings. Since we’re searching around and I find it quite interesting to look around cars of different types and models especially those with unique bumper stickers, usually the customized one which you can’t see on other cars. I know having one of these stickers make the car unique in its own way.

Many cars I happen to see have car accessories that will really caught your attention but I had a great time viewing some unique accessories online. I also had a good laugh when I found funny bumper stickers which will certainly turn your smile to laughter. They’re just samples but I find it so funny although I know some of the words there are true. I’m thinking now if I will order something of that kind and what design could I possibly put in my customized bumper stickers.

My New Baby!

No I'm not having another baby 'coz Josh is my certified youngest kid. I just want to blog here about my new blog which I started three months ago. This is what's keeping me busy even at nights. I can say that it's hard to start another blog because you'll have to exert extra effort, plenty of time and you'll have to think of new ideas. When I first had my domain blog added to my two bravejournals I told myself that I can't maintain additional blog as I'm too busy to update them all. But that was history as after Moments of My Life I added My Crossroads after 10 months and then added Beyond Horizons last July this year.

Now my new baby is Wahm's Cozy Corner, my blog about women's interest. There I talk about facilitating shopping, technology, various tips and more. It's entirely different from my other blogs except that I get to mention once in awhile my kids, well I can't help it! Visit my new blog and be my guest! Don't forget to leave your comments :-) Thanks!

Which One is Right for Me?

Two weeks from now I’ll be celebrating my birthday and I’m not decided on what I’ll buy for myself. When I’m just working in office I never buy myself expensive gifts as I try to spend most of my Christmas bonus on gifts for my loved ones, things and toys for my kids and home appliances. But since I entered the world of blogging and started earning online I compensate all my hard works on keeping my blog maintained by buying what I want most for the year. I’m just simple in many ways and I don’t buy super expensive branded bags. If I have one or two of those branded things it usually come to me as a gift and I appreciate it, it’s just that I don’t want to spend my hard-earned money on it. People are different and so are women.

On my first months of earning money through my sites I rewarded myself with a new gas range because I love cooking and baking. On the second year I bought myself my personal digital camera which I used for joining photo meme and which became my favorite companion everywhere I go. This year I planned to buy myself laptop so I can use it anywhere around the house or I can carry it along. When my brother searched around for the latest branded netbooks in my friend’s electronic gadgets’ brochures I began to think what’s the ideal for me, a lappy or a netbook. Anyway as I plan to buy it after the holiday season I still have time to think it over.

Blogging Overtime

Wow! I’m still awake this time at dawn, my online friends has signed off one by one and knowing that all of them were asleep makes me feel more sleepy too! I just finished half of my due tasks on my other blogs and I need a real willpower to go on and finish them all. I’m just worried that if I reached 4am I’ll only have less than an hour to sleep as I’ll be cooking for my girls before 5am. I’m happy that at least I have my mojo now, thoughts and ideas are flowing easily from my mind that I can easily write any topic on my list. I just need some patience and determination to meet my goal.

I didn’t prepared coffee as sometimes it gets me to sleep, strange but true! I only drink cold water when I think I can’t hold on anymore. Anyway I’ve had lots of practice when I was still working in consultancy firm which forced us to work on three consecutive overnights when we’re beating deadlines. I’m working at home now but the same strategy I used in my previous jobs on overnights still works for me.

Shopping for Baby Things

I’m so happy that my niece gave birth to a healthy baby girl last October. A new baby is a delightful addition in the family and it brings so much joy and happiness to every home. You know I feel that there’s a certain magic that baby brings. They truly add some fun and excitement and just to hear their little cries and giggles makes them so funny to me. Well baby girl Iya I’m referring to is a cry baby and when she visited us she doesn’t want her grannies to carry her but only me. I had to leave my online tasks to attend to her. I saw that my niece takes special care of her things especially her infant clothes which looks very cute to me. Since she’s a girl her clothes are all pink and white in color and they’ve chosen kitty designs.

The couple carefully chosen Iya’s bottles, clothes & shoes, toiletries and nursery furniture when she was about to be delivered and all things were ready when she was born. They’ve chosen a crib that’s fairy small to fit with their house size and they’ve added a swing for her. They do all of these things for their little darling in the house. I can see my niece sometimes get exhausted with the new responsibility of a mother but when she looks at the little angel she’s holding she will smile and feels happy enough.

It’s sometimes tedious to prepare everything for your baby especially shopping when you’re pregnant. It was easier now to choose and buy the things for your little one like babies and toddlers’ things through online shopping at Shopwiki. With this kind of shopping you can buy the things that you want in the comfort of you own house. No need to fall in line to pay, no need to walk around several stores just to pick your needed items. Shopwiki has all the specific stores that sells baby and toddler items. It makes shopping easier!

Cool Protection from UV Rays

Living in a tropical country is good because we have plenty of sunshine to enjoy most of the days in a year but it also has some little disadvantages because the rays of sun starting late morning up to afternoon is hazardous to our health. I remember in the old days that the folks bring out the babies in the veranda to enjoy the sun in their skin in the morning. They needed the sun to nourish them after their birth for them not to be yellowish as my Mom would tell me. Now I think that the sun after 8 in the morning is not anymore good for the babies, maybe a little earlier than 8 in the morning would be fine.

Even we should take enough precautions before exposing ourselves to sun because the UV rays will cause some hazards if we don’t protect ourselves. It’s a good protection if we’re in a building or in our houses because we will not be exposed to too much sun. But what if the windows of our houses are not made to withstand the rays of the sun? That’s why it’s best to carefully select the windows that we will be installing in our house. Installing window film seems to be the best idea just like California Window Film because it cools down the heat from outside and protects the house interior from the UV rays of the sun. It’s even stronger than glass and using it can give us enough safety from the harmful effects of the sun. Ordering is very easy as you can buy it online, just make sure that you choose the size and class type you want. Experience the cooling effects of window film and enjoy the savings in cooling and heating costs. You can also use it in your car to block out the damaging rays of the sun. Cool!

Lasik Eye Surgery for Better Vision

I’ve been wearing eyeglasses since I was in college because my eyes are nearsighted and it’s hard to be in a big classroom when you don’t see the board clearly. I had to wear eyeglasses then because my eyes would worsen or increase grade number. Now I’m comfortable with my eyeglasses because the years of wearing it makes it feel like a part of me. Some people don’t want to wear eyeglasses as they will look like older than their age so they resort to contact lenses. Lenses are said to be more comfortable than wearing eyeglasses but for me I still want my eyeglasses because it fits my lifestyle.

Having healthy and normal vision is my dream as I spent half of my life having nearsighted eyes. There are also things that I cannot do without eyeglasses like reading from afar and playing some of my favorite sports. Because of this I sometimes envy those people with 20/20 vision as they can do anything they want without fear of seeing things in blurred vision. When my Mom was operated for her cataract I learned about using laser in a lasik procedure and I was so amazed that it can bring back your blurry vision. There are clinics that performs such operation like Lasik Eye Surgery Boston which offers an all-laser lasik procedure meant to correct your vision on the exact needs of your eyes. It’s a painless, safe and quick procedure which can give you 20/20 or better vision.

It’s actually a perfect solution to people with eye problems of nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism only. This is not for other eye problems such as cataract, glaucoma and many others. Modern technology has reached the eye science and I was very happy to know that there’s still a guaranteed remedy for my kind of eye problem. Now patients can do away from their glasses and contact lenses when they avail this service from Boston Laser.

Online Tasks to Finish

Looks like I’m going on an overnight blogging again. I don’t want to rush tomorrow and on weekends so I decided to do all my due tasks one or two days ahead of time for a better writeup also. Most of the times when you’re rushing your assignments it affects the way you write and your post suffer from it. Even though I’m doing some paid posts doesn’t mean I would sacrifice quality but sometimes it happens because of very tight schedule and deadlines. I have plenty of offline tasks in the morning and I can’t seem to fit it all in my planner so if I have several posts to do I do it at nighttime when my kids are asleep. It’s just the headache and dizziness that I don’t want when I don’t sleep.

Make Them Happy with NFL Jerseys Gifts

I’ve almost completed my list of gifts this coming holiday season and though I’m having second thoughts on other gift ideas I think I’ll go on with it as I don’t have enough time to change it. It’s easier to think of gifts for girls as they have plenty of things to choose from. I can give dress for the tots, toys for the toddlers and blouses and gadgets for the young girls. When it comes to boys you only have few things to choose from so if you really find it hard to think maybe a set of NFL Jerseys would be so right for them especially if they’re aged from 4-10 years old. It’s even more exciting if they love sports and a fan of one of the teams like Philadelphia Eagles.

I’m sure no kid will resist receiving a complete set of NFL uniform set with jersey, pants, helmet, adjustable chin straps, face mask and more. The whole set costs $39.99 and to display his NFL uniform set you can also give him an NFL Fan Locker and avail of the blowout sale which marked down its price at $79.99 from its original cost of $129.99. Great savings while making the kids happy with the complete outfit and locker. It really feels good to give love and gifts on Christmas!

Excited with Big Screen Flat TV

My cousin is so excited about this coming week’s company bonus that she’s now looking and canvassing price for her dream 32” wide flat TV. She really waited for her bonus money before buying the big screen TV because it’s only her whim. Now that she’s been advised that indeed she has extra money this Christmas she might as well buy her most wanted appliance, after all it’s a nice remembrance for her money that every time she sees the TV she’ll remember that it’s the fruit of her year-long bonus money. She also asked me to look for a perfect plasma mounts for her TV so she can be sure that it suits her plasma TV. Now I have to look for quality but not so expensive one because my cousin wants to save some for her savings.

Knowledge Gained on Construction Business

I’m glad that my brother have a new residential project now just in time for the big expenses this coming holidays. He’s an engineer and managing his own construction business. Because of his work I became familiar with most of the construction terms and I had a working knowledge of some of them due to my previous jobs. I was employed by a consulting company for design, construction and supervision of roads and bridges for ten years and I was assigned in making bidding proposals. The work was tough because we’re always beating the deadlines where we used to spend three days and three nights without leaving the office just to make sure that proposal will be able to meet the due dates.

In my earlier years in the company I used to help the project managers with their monthly accomplishment reports and when I work with them I see to it that I know what I’m doing such as looking over the basic terms and work done on different civil engineering works. That’s when I learned about pavement, drainage, structural works and many other things concerning the construction of major roads, bridges and vertical structures in the country. My Engineer friends taught me how they check the contractor’s use of concrete forming method such as insulated concrete forms to construct building and residential grade walls and basement. Our projects include horizontal and vertical construction and we also handle commercial establishment although we specialized in flyovers, roads and bridges. I can say that my previous jobs helped me a lot to gain knowledge on various fields of work and I’m very thankful for that.

10 Things You Want, but Wouldn’t Buy for Yourself

Actually I'm not a shoppaholic kind and I'm very smart in buying things for myself, I don't buy what I don't need and what I can't afford:-).

The things that I want but wouldn't buy it for myself are:

1. Canon D-SLR Camera
   
2. Ipod
3. A new car 'coz I can settle for pre-owned car much cheaper and less dangerous to handle
   
4. A new video camera
