Live a Healthier Life

I’m trying to get back to my regular exercise regimen because eating healthy foods alone will not help me that much. Our bodies need enough rest, complete sleep, healthy foods and regular exercise to maintain a healthy and fit body. Working online keep me glued to my laptop more than 10 hours a day and of course it also keeps me in a sitting position almost half of the day. This isn’t healthy anymore and it’s also the reason for my big tummy so it’s a must that I should do a regular exercise to balance my activities and work. I tried to follow a healthier habit when I reached forty because I don’t want to have high number of bad cholesterol although I heard that some with that sickness can be cured through natural cholesterol treatment. If this is true I should inform my friend with high cholesterol level because he may need this kind of treatment.

Mom was always right in saying that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure. It’s also easier to eat healthy and avoid late nights than having yourself hospitalized or suffer from painful sickness that can cost you physical and financial distress. Well I’m starting to live a life that’s healthier in body and also in spirit. Care to join me in my goals?

Dreaming for the Europe Tours

In every working Mom’s life there comes a point that you want to be in a place new and offers respite from your everyday routine. Mothers love doing everything for their families but they also need some break from daily activities and routine of life in order to refresh and enjoy some days of relaxation. Motherhood is one of the best things that can happen in your life but everyone deserves a break, a rest or a vacation that will get you away from usual things you do every day. It’s also a therapy for every relationship. Having some time with your hubby and kids outside the home zone helps you forget stress and daily problems of life. It will be nice to have the whole family join one of those national parks tours offered by collettevacations.com. I’m sure the whole family will enjoy it.

Well it’s not the first dream tour we have because we really want to plan for europe tours because that’s where hubby’s sister lives for several years now and vacationing will be so much fun with her to accompany us. It will be our first time so it’s easier for us to feel comfortable if we have her with us. She’s also a busy working Mom but I know she’ll be delighted at the thought of us travelling to her place. She’s also fond of traveling around the globe and has visited several historical places already. Now she’s thinking of new places to visit and the thought of having one of those australia tours suddenly became a positive plan for her. I know she’ll love it also and welcomes the idea of meeting some Filipinos there.

PH#220 : Open (Field)

Click the image to enlarge pic

This shot was taken in Tagaytay Picnic Grove in the left wing area where you can play, run, jump, fly kite, have picnic and anything you want to do because it's an OPEN field. Even though it has a slight slope it's safe for little kids because they'll just fall in soft grassy land. Look at the kids here with my own also, my daughter in orange blouse and my little boy in dark green shirt barely visible at the farthest among the 7 kids in the pics.

They had their happiest playing moments here where they run and run without me stopping them lol! How could I when I was busy taking shots at them :-) I had my moments too because I enjoy taking shots at the sky, the field, the view of Taal Volcano and the cute little kids playing at the picnic grove. We were there for their Dad's discipleship seminar with the ministers and pastor of our church.

Every Task is Important

I’m finishing some tasks today after I’ve checked what adipex p is all about. I don’t want my assignments to file up and I don’t want to do it on due dates. Juggling between house chores, errands and kids’ school needs is busy enough and to have expiring tasks in addition with all of these can be exhausting so it’s better to schedule my work ahead of time if I can help it. Discipline is needed in this department because sometimes I have a habit of doing only what’s been required for the moment which in the long run can give me headache.

Sometimes tasks can be so plenty and you’ll never know what to do first. Of course I don’t want to miss any of my work as one task expired is a loss for me. With the current economic difficulty these days I could never afford to let opportunity passed by so every single task is important. I keep thanking God for the wonderful opportunity He has given me by way of letting me work at the convenience of my home. He used my best friend in introducing blogging to me and in making all things go with my plans such as resignation from my job and finding again my first love which is writing. God is good all the time.

Long Waiting Line in Banks

I’ve rounded up two schools yesterday to get the patches for my kids’ extra uniform and visited my little boy on his lunch break which is a little earlier on the real lunch time. I went to the bank to ask about health savings account and pay my card just before lunch but I was welcomed with a long line of clients. I had no choice but to stay and wait for my turn even though I’m starving. Worst thing is we’re all standing up unlike other banks that have chairs while you wait.

One teller was assisting one client for the rest of my stay at the bank, he really had tons of transactions and it took around 25 minutes to move because the other teller has closed her cubicle. My plans were canceled because the other teller that opened entertained payments only and not inquiries. I would have to go to another line to ask so I went home and planned to go next week again to look for a bank with that kind of service. If there’s no such service like that here maybe I’ll just open a regular savings account for my kids.

:TC - Home (Near the Mountains)

Thursday Challenge

"HOME" (House, Living Room, Kitchen, Bedroom, Nest, Hive,...)

We spent few days in my MIL's house in Montalban and there I saw the beautiful homes at the foot of the mountains of the town. The first shot was late afternoon just in time for the sunset but the sunset was on the other side. The second shot is nearer to my MIL's house and a farther from the mountains. It was taken early morning. Even though the place is a little far the city it is very accessible and all your tiredness from the travel will be gone when you get there because you'll see the beauty of the nature and it's so peaceful there.

We also had a shot in MIL's house.

Computer Support Service

My desktop computer is down and I have to call my technician to see it and repair whatever is needed. It’s my computer since I started blogging 3 years ago and all my files and tons of pictures are there in its hard disk so I find it hard to secure copies when I need them. I’m relieved that I have a laptop now so my work wouldn’t be slowed or discontinued because of the breakdown of my desktop PC.

I’m fixing my scheduled activities and errands so I can have my computer repaired.

If they broke down or malfunctioning you’ll have to do with backup PC.

The Risks of Business

My Mom and I were talking about possible business that DH and I can start these coming months and aside from our earlier plans of reviving our former meat products business I’m thinking of something that will not involve electricity. When you have a meat products business the first thing that you’ll have to buy is a large freezer and that will mean increase in our electric bills. It worries me also that during rainy season brownouts are prevalent in this country so we’ll have to think of precautionary measures on how to deal with our products when this happens. If only we can just buy gold coins and have it stored safely in the bank until it appreciates value then we wouldn’t think of business risk.

We’ll just to save enough money to do it and after then we’ll just wait for the returns of our capital. I know the rich families can decide on investing on gold coins more easily than us because they have the means and finances. Oh well there are other suggestions from my Mom and we’ll have to carefully choose the one that’s less risky I think.

Rested and Revived

I had a very busy day rounding up Mommy duties which includes checking up kids in school, buying up extra uniforms, having projects printed up for submission, usual grocery schedule and marketing. By the time I get home past lunchtime I was starving. It was raining a bit that vehicles had slowed down and I can’t do anything but to wait and pray that I’ll get home in time for lunch. When I arrived Mom had already eaten, it’s just Mom and me on lunchtime most of the days because kids are on their schools and DH in school also. Sometimes he would suddenly appear at lunch so I see to it that he has some of his favorite viands over lunch.

After eating my lunch alone with Mom by my side I opened up my laptop to work but tiredness got me napping instead of writing. I woke up late afternoon with hubby and all of my kids in the house already. They didn’t wake me up as they wanted me to rest. I spent two late nights already and I really felt tired because waking up early at 4am left me with 3-4 sleeping hours only. I was touched that they all thought of giving me enough rest and sleep. DH bought and prepared our afternoon snack too so when I got up from napping the food was already on the table. With happiness and contentment in my heart I was once again revived and my blogging mojo is back again.

Good Thing About Working Online at Home

I’ve been scheduling my activities this morning and surmised that it’s just a matter of few hours before I can get back to work. Although the rains will surely slow down everything from traffic up to my many errands I’m still positive that I can do all my scheduled things on time. I just opened up my mails and visited several blogs before I leave the house. I was happy to note that blessings of work have poured down again and I have to get back soon so I can start writing tasks.

It’s really nice working at home because you have the capacity to balance your time with work and family. Today I can do all my errands and still do some work in the afternoon up to evening. If I’m working in an office I have to file a leave of absence every time I have to attend personal matters and kids’ school activities. I’m glad I quit my job because now my time is so flexible and I can get high salary if I’m good at my job unlike the corporate jobs which you’ll have to wait for many things before you can get increases. Now when I have higher earnings I can invest on something or buy gold coins for a sure returns of capital and count on this when my online work is not at its peak. The success of work-at-home job relies mostly on your efforts and determination to grab and get as many tasks as you can get. In this job you’ll enjoy the fruits of your labor unlike in the office employment which sometimes can’t give you what you’ve worked for.
