Changing Weather Makes Us Sick

It’s raining hard these past few days and though I love rainy days I sometimes get worried that my kids would get sick on sudden weather changes. For the last two weeks I took Josh with me on attending my bible study but this week I opted not to bring him because he might catch colds. Sudden change in weather causes some sickness in the respiratory part of our bodies thus bringing us cough, colds and other respiratory related sickness. I don’t want my kids to be sick as it can make their bodies weak and I don’t want to go to hospital. I just go to hospitals frequently when I’m pregnant but when I’m not I dreaded the sight of dextrose hanging on the patients bed, the bag of blood being transferred to weak patients or being studied on the exam table. That’s the last thing in my mind these days as I’m also very busy in my online job. I just hope and pray that God will always protect my kids wherever they go, be it in school or in our house.

Catching Up

I have to catch up with my online tasks today as I’ve already lagged behind my schedule on the two days checkup of my connection. I was tired and sleepy from Wednesday bible study because we went home past 11pm giving me just a few hours of sleeping time before I cook and prepare for my kids’ packed lunch. Josh is having monthly exams these Thursday and Friday so I’m giving him some of my time for his review exercises.

Josh didn’t want to review for his exams in the past two years but he excels in his class. I think he has other style of learning so I just told him I’m only giving him review exercises which are just fine to him. Mom should really be wise in attending to their children’s need or their kids will turn out spoiled and hard to deal with. Anyway it’s the last day of exam so we can rest now with his subjects and I can go back to my work online.

Choosing A Reliable Host

When I looked back how I really got into this blogging world I remember my friend who called me one day and coaxed me into opening my own site. It was a new and exciting world for me as I’m getting bored with my work then. I’m not saying that my work is not a good one as I’m working in a small telco company then and I’m responsible for administration, HR, accounting, credit & collection and carrier settlement disputes. Wow I really had a quite multitasking job but it didn’t make my day exciting as it’s not what I want to do in my life then. With my stable job I can’t fully monitor my kids, I can’t go where I want and I didn’t want to stay long in my work. I’ve served the company for more than 15 years and I can’t stay longer because I felt my life can be more fruitful.

With blogging I can have a world of my own, my site is an expression of my life and I got to share inspirational thoughts on it. It’s a nice feeling when you can share God’s wonderful blessings worldwide. Well blogging hooked my life day and night and it also gave me a chance to earn money online which for me is quite a bonus as I’ve enjoyed blogging and I learned a lot from it.

After months of exploring things on my free hosted blog I decided to have my own domain and be hosted by one of the best web hosting sites. I realized that having your own hosted site is a lot of help also as it brings you more capabilities. Even now that I have my host I still read reviews online like just host review and I’ve found out that it reached the #2 slot in the web hosting list. It’s a new web hosting company based in London and offers low cost price plans. Being cheap and low cost doesn’t mean lesser quality as they provide good customer service, excellent technical support, and guaranteed reliability on their hosting services.

:WW - Happiness of Winning

The StageThe Performers and their Sabayang Pagbigkas PresentationThe Announcement which made them jump with so much JoyGroup excitedly poses for me The happiness of winning the title are shown in their faces

Click the images to enlarge

This is the recently held Tagisan ng Talino (Filipino) competition where all 11 schools from District 1 of Cainta vied for the championship title in Sabayang Pagbigkas, a group poem/declamation presentation of 20 grade 5 students who presents their craft with vigor, strength of voice and group harmonious action. I accompanied my daughter Gen who is one of the participants here from SJES. Actually they're the incumbent winner as the school won the same title (in English) last year with my daughter Ruth, a grade 5 student then as one of the participants.

All I can say is - they're all very happy with the result that their sacrifices of not drinking cold water and not eating ice cream paid off :-)

Happy wordless though I'm always wordful. Visit more entries -> here.

Keyless Lock for Your Homes

Are you tired of fumbling for your keys whenever you reach home? Sometimes when there’s no one inside your house to open the door for you and you have to get your key to get in you feel very tired to get the key, unlock the door and finally get inside the comfort of your home. I always feel that there’s must be an easy way to get in than the normal way of using the key. In my former office we don’t use key in entering the main glass door as we have electronic lock, it’s a keyless lock which was opened only by the receptionist who hold the button which she touch every time someone is arriving or departing. If there’s no one that will be left inside the office that’s the only way that we’ll be using our electronic door key.

Now it’s not only in commercial places and business offices as we can have it in our own home. There will be no more fumbling for keys. The problem of duplicating keys for each member of the family will also be eliminated. With the new innovation of using keyless lock there are various advantages that goes with it. I think it’s more secure using this new keyless lock as you’ll be assured that no stranger will enter your house unless given temporary permission or access.

This Axxis Biometrics keyless door can program people to have temporary access at desired specific period so we can have guests also if we want. All we need for this keyless lock is our very own fingerprints; I supposed it’s easier to lose a key than a finger! Well I figured out that convenience and security should not be confined to offices only as we also need it in our houses. Our home is the place where we rest our tired body and have some relaxing moments with our kids so it must be well protected and secured for our family’s sake.

Wine Openers

I’ve known some people who love wine that it has become a part of their dinner, the most I heard from them is the red wine variety. They told me that it brings some warmth into their body when they drink pure grape wine and not some other beverages that are full of alcohol content. Actually wine has many kinds and contents. It can be used for many purposes other than just drink or beverage. In our church we drink red wine with the least alcohol content say 5% when we do communion. That’s why we buy at specialty stores because some don’t have the kind of wine we look for. I’ve been browsing some brands for low alcohol wine when I came upon rogar estate wine opener which caters for the needs of wine lovers. They sell and offer wine openers and replacement parts.

It’s my first time to see nice samples of estate wine opener which I find very interesting with regards to their exquisite style. Their products look very elegant with their material which you can choose among granite, wood or aluminum. Some people still prefers to use wood for some reasons. They also provide replacement parts for wine openers if you should need one for your existing wine opener.

For the collectors and lovers of stylish wine opener they have different kinds of collection like estate collection in bronze, champion wine opener collection in antique pewter and nickel and professional collection in brass and chrome. Just visit RogarWineOpeners.com for a complete view of their products.

Major Decision I Made in My Life

It's Tuesday once again and this time I'm joining Heads Or Tails again, it's actually my second time only...

The theme/prompt for this week is "TAILS - Decision" and we should tell about a time when we had to make a "Decision"

Well my story is about my latest major decision which took me one long year to ponder. I was employed with the same employer for his two companies for 15 years when I wrote a letter of resignation to my boss stating my desire to focus on my family rather than my career. I was a major decision that divides opinion between my friends and colleagues, of course my family supported it. I decided at the time that employment was very hard and not a single employee I know wanted to risk their jobs for anything else. I was told by one relative that everyone was looking for a job and there I was - leaving my very stable job.

I've been blogging for a year then and I'm getting quite a handful of online jobs which intensified my wish to work at home while attending to my family's need. I filed my resignation 5th of May 2008 but my boss told me that if I want to have a separation pay I must extend my stay. I couldn't do anything but to stay for more months as I want to have some money to start my business. During my extended stay I seek God's confirmation that my decision was right. He showed me the four factors to consider in making decision such as signs, open door, providence and circumstance.

I asked for signs and I got it, I looked for open door and providence and He gave me a source of income outside my employment and last but not the least, actually the best of all is the circumstance which answered all my questions. My mother's miraculous restoration of vision has made me realize that my Mom is one of the most important person in my life and we should be the one who should be taking care of her.

Finally after more than one year of resignation from BT&T my boss let me retire early with some compensation to bring and a warm heart for everyone. I thanked God that He's helped me with this major decision that I made in my life.

My Essentials Outside Home

Now that I’m working at home every time I went to somewhere else besides the church I always bring a smaller bag than what I used to bring when I’m going to office. I have this camera bag I bought last year together with digicam and that bag has became my favorite now as I can carry my most precious essentials without looking so bulky. I can fit all small things I always carry aside from my digicam and that includes my mobile phone, digicam, purse, pens, small notepad, extra memory card, extra batteries and two Promotional usb drive which were given to me by our telco partner last Christmas. I just love these basic essentials always on my bag so with everything I have wherever I go I can take a shot and blog anywhere I want.

Drop Shipping Products

If you have noticed nowadays almost all business conducts their marketing on the web relying on the online readers as their major clients. Everything is done on the web such as advertising of the products, marketing and promos and even buying and selling. Now for those who sell their products online they need to stock plenty of products so if anyone orders they can provide them. But there’s a big risk in it as you can’t stock on different items at big volumes just in case the products will not sell. On the other hand if you only stock smaller volumes you can’t get it at wholesale price leading you to price your product at a higher rate. There are always some risks involved in running your business.

If you’re in online selling business you have to think about warehouse control and will employ staff to do it. Oh well there’s a solution to that as there are companies whose doing dropshipping which greatly works for business online. They simply take orders from business on the web and ship the ordered products to the customer thus saving the time and money of the businessman.

Hiring a company that drop ship products is a lot of help to entrepreneurs because they don’t have to order volumes of products just to avail of wholesale price and a great discount on staff as there will no more be a warehouse to do inventory. Good thing about drop shipping is you collect the payment from your customer before you purchase the product from the company. The drop ship company will take orders from web business and ships the products directly to the customer which saves a lot of time and money and gives more ample time for the entrepreneurs to focus on his business than on searching for low priced products.

This is one great find for me on the net as I only saw it now, dropship products is a solution to most of the retailers and entrepreneurs’ problems. Now business can be as flexible as with this new kind of selling any entrepreneur will have the chance to sell any volume of products to their customers and can vary their products anytime with all the stock s available in their drop ship company.
