Vehicle Reimbursement Benefits

Before I resigned from my job and became a work-at-home Mom I had various jobs that taught me the fields of work that I didn’t learn in school. First and foremost I’m a graduate of computer engineering but during my last tenure of work I was assigned to supervise the accounting department, billing and collection department and human resource department. It is then that I realized that it’s good to be flexible in your work and it will help you a lot if you know some other jobs and not only what you have learned in college education. The world of studying is different in the world of employment. You must be smart, skilled and has a lot of patience in your work in order to stay in your job.

In supervising accounting staff I was taught to balance employees and management. I was assigned to handle computation of incentives and to check the reimbursement of gasoline expenses of our employees who were given Car Allowance as one of their benefits. They’re the ones who handle clients’ accounts and they go out everyday to meet with clients and providers. They use their own car for easy travel better than hiring a cab. The company can’t provide several cars for each of them so they were just given allowances for their gasoline expenses.

It’s easy for me to compute and handle them because they’re only few but for those who have many mobile employees they should consult with companies like Corporate Reimbursement Services, Inc. (CRS) which can help in customizing reimbursement programs for mobile employees. Many companies find it hard to create database so it’s best to get CRS system to compute for their reimbursement which will be based on actual mileage of the car, gas price, tax and some factors. Things are getting easier these days!

Finding the Best Web Hosting Sites

I’ve been blogging since 2007 and have learned so many things online. It’s not me who discovered this addictive hobby but my bestfriend. She introduced me to blogging because she knows that I love to write since or school days and having a site will surely make a way for my love for writing. Needless to say she’s right as here I am continually writing posts to share my life, some inspirational thoughts and everything worth sharing for. It’s an outlet for me to have a site of my own to write about my kids, family, my career, my faith and everything that matters in my life. It has also become a way for me to earn online, it’s actually more like a bonus that you can earn while enjoying your blog.

Blogging has also earned me online friends which makes blogging a happy breathing space from my work and household matters. And because I came to love my site that much I searched and looked for the best webhosting provider for my multiple sites. It started with just one domain then came another and so on. I’m satisfied with my two web hosts and through visiting FindMyHosting.com I learned that my web hosts are included in their best 10 web hosting sites.

:Looking at the Sky on Friday #41

What a site to see as it looks the clouds are forming a big circle here on top of the buildings, actually I'm a bit scared on the multitude. Looking at the sky is such a lovely thing to do but sometimes the sudden formation of clouds invites some imagination on your mind. When I was a child my friends and I would always look on imaginary objects on the cloud. It's exciting on one end but often we see imaginary scary creatures. Anyway it's not always scary as on other occasion we see funny objects. How about you have you tried defining objects on cloud formation?

Happy Friday! Visit more of beautiful sky photos here!

My son Josh as he's so active and energetic since he was born :-) He keeps on playing his transformers while making some funny sound of helicopter.

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.

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.
