It is always best to be prepared for emergencies. I have realized this earlier which made me decide to buy an emergency light with electric fan. One time, there was a brown out in our place which lasted for around 12 hours. We were pathetic feeling so hot during the day and the night before, we felt miserable being dark for the rest of the night. So, the next day, I headed to the mall and bought an Akari emergency light with electric fan. We have a darling 2 year old in the house and we don’t want her to be miserable during times without electricity.

Today, here are the things I am planning to do:

Work Related

1. Create 12 assessments
2. Let agents sign - at least 10 signs from last week’s assessment

Non - Work Related

1. Call Cebu Ink jet and inquire about their t shirt printing package. inquire other means of payment: installment or credit card
2. Blog for at least two hours

So where do I start from here. I have taken the first step which is “the awakening”. I realized my past mistakes and learned new lessons that will help me in my next steps or ventures. So what are my plans now?

==> I plan to maximize my online earnings by working on my blogs and maximizing my earning potential through different blogs. maximum of 10. I now have 2 active blogs that are earning monthly.
- I plan to spend at least 2 hours daily for this venture

==> Buy the lot in ate joy’s place in minglanilla so we can have our house constructed there.
- a budget of 15,000 is required
- i need to contact ate joy to discuss this

==> Apply for an SSS loan to augment my savings to be used for our plans
- i need to get my philhealth id first

==> Buy my own laptop or computer for my blogging ventures once I stop working
- get a credit card for this

==> Buy the t shirt printing materials. Get the necessary training and get started.
-  a budget of 20,000 is required

==>  Get myself insured for the sake of my family

- I need about 3,000 to get started with this. Before August 30, I should already be insured.

I will start with these few steps and let’s see where this will take me. I am having some time now for my blogging. Will spend another hour, later on.

I bought a very nice book yesterday and when I came home, I wasn’t able to read it yet because I had a terrible headache. I fell into a deep sleep as early as 7 or 8 pm. I was awaken at 11 pm and my headache was gone. I opened the book and started reading and I could never put it down. So even if it was already 12 am, I never stopped reading. Could you believe that I finished the entire book Go Negosyo, by 3 am, on which time, I was finally able to go back to sleep, since I still had work at 6 am. I am really like that, once, there is a wonderful book in front of me, I could never helped  not stopping until I finish the entire book. Books are like foods for me. I have so much appetite for me, specially if its a book that will help me improve my life.

I have learned a lot fromt his book and I never thought, it would be that “worthy” of the 200 pesos and the time I spent reading it. Even if I ended up  being 5 minutes late at work, it’s fine with me. Even if I get a sanction for being late, I won’t worry. I have learned very valuable lessons and insights that will surely allow me to fulfill my dreams and goals in life. This book has inspired me more than I could ever imagine. I do not regret buying it and choosing it among the others book that got me interested when I visited National Bookstore yesterday.

I would like to put what I have learned in use and it will be my guide in my journey. It has helped me realize that I should not put my dream of stopping work aside. That’s my ultimate goal right now: to stop working and eventually run my own small business, which, hopefully can suffice our daily needs even if I am no longer working. And I hope, that one day, my ideas will turn into real businesses that can not only support our family but also allow us to build other assets and become financially free for the rest of our lives.
= I want to stop working
= (why?) I want to be there always for my child as much as I can. I haven’t been able to spend much time with her because of my full time work and other responsibilities
= I want my mom to finally rest and just enjoy her life. She has always been grumpy because of stress of taking care of my baby. My baby has her own yaya but it’s my mom who runs our home and my baby is too attached to her. She finds it hard to rest. She has been working hard for the rest of her lives, just for us, and I hope that she can also enjoy her life.
= I want to have a house for our family
= I have to have small businesses that will support our needs and help us achieve financial freedom one day…
= I want to have my flexible time without being tied to a schedule work routine. I want to be able to rest when I want to
= I want to do something not because I have to but because I want to. I want to do something I love to do.

I know I can achieve this. It doesn’t matter if I made so many failures in the past: not saving enough, spending money on not so important items, not focusing on a single business goal, wanting to start out “BIG” and a whole lot more. I am determined to make a success out of my own life. I ought to do so. It is my privilege as a person and I promise to myself from now on, that I will not be a slave to somebody else for the rest of my life. I will start working for myself and not for another person. I am going to make myself wealthy and not somebody else. Anything is possible with hard work, determination and focus on what I do. It is possible. I can be liberated. I just have to believe and not let any setback stop me from achieving this dream.

I have been quite busy for the last couple of months on my full time work, my responsibilities as a mother, as a wife and doing side tasks for my blogging hobby and side job.  I have done so many reviews such as apidexin reviews that I thought of giving myself a break. Right now, we are checked in a hotel here in Cebu for my 2 days off in order for me and my hubby to get all the needed break and rest we need. I so love it and I never hesitated I decided to go for this. I so badly this one for my very busy life as an all around woman doing everything she can to manage things in her life. Managing a household and a full time job plus a side job, which in this case is blogging, is not an easy feat. I get burned out every now and then. Then, I have to stop for all the busyness, and take a break and make sure I am still no track. This is what this short vacation is all about. And I’m making the most of it.

A fashion icon said that there is no reason or excuse now not to look good. There are so many products in the market that can help us achieve the look we want to have. In almost any body issues or problem we are facing, there is a corresponding solution. The internet is now widely available and accessible and we can search for almost any information we want. Since it prevents a huge number of options and possibilities, we need to be able to screen thoroughly which product best suits our need.

For people who have problems of losing hair, they can visit www.hairlossformen.net and get the tips and right information on which product to choose. I also have a trusted online site where you can get health and beauty products which are really effective and thats http://myezshopmall.com/.

As a blogger, we write on a regular basis. It is of utmost importance that we apply variation in making our articles more interesting. We have followers and readers and it is important for them to see other topics aside from the ones you are interested in.

It is up to you how you can make your posts seem interesting to others. What’s interesting to you might not be interesting for another person. So, you should write topics which others can relate to. Writing has done me good. It helped me improve my English skills not only in writing but also in speaking. It has helped me become more spontaneous with the way I think. When I have something to say - I say it right away without the need for pausing and worrying about how you would say what you would like to say. I am grateful that I have been exposed to the call center industry too. It has helped me develop my English skills both in writing and in speaking.

In a matter of 3 years, I have vastly improved in speaking and writing English. See, I deal with an 9 hour job where we have to speak English and where I have to speak English all day long. Then, when I come home… I have a side job which is blogging where I am required to still write in English. Doing reviews for diet pills that work is not a simple task.  I have to be creative with the way I write since it’s not a very interesting topic.

I am overwhelmed with all the pressures in my life right now. I know I can handle it with God’s help but then, I still feel stressed out. I can’t help it. I just can’t help it. I now have very little time to do blogging and to write some colon cleanse reviews but I knew I had to resolve to finding more time for this venture. This has been a quite fulfilling side task and I love the idea of earning online. I haven’t met anyone in person who is doing so, except for my blogging friends all over the country. I so love my blogging life but I am having little and little time for it as time goes by. I have so many responsibilities and I am already drained at the end of the day. I know the solution is to quit my job but it is not an option for me right now. I really have to work. We cannot afford for me to lose this job. This is the one supplying all our needs and allowing me to buy a little luxuries here and there. My husband wouldn’t want me to quit. No, not this time. But, I am hopeful that someday, my dream will be fulfilled. That I can already stop working and get all the rest I needed in the world.

My baby who’s turning 3 this August has been using Nido Junior 1-3 years old Milk for more than a year already.  Before switching her to Nido, we gave her the expensive milk Enfapro. Financially wise, we had to switch her to a less expensive one. But recently my mom suggested to let her try something else. Those advertised milk that will promote inttellectual development in kids. So, I let her try Promil and so far so far. My baby has always been a fast learner from the start. But, I like that Promil does not give her wet stools, which is an indication that her body is approving the new milk. She has been taking this milk for more than 2 months I guess. So, far no regrets.  The price is still affordable, In fact, it is only few pesos away from Nido Junior. Well, anyway, even if I followed my mom’s request I have always believed that a child’s IQ and emotional development will depend not on the milk but more on the kind of upbringing we are giving our kids.

Kids need to be provided with proper nutrition, good environment receptive for fast learning, happy home and lots of love. With all of these, there will be no doubt that your kid will grow up to be healthy and happy individual enjoying her full potential as a person. As a mom for three years, I have yet to learn more about the best products and services out there that I could make use of for the benefit and well being of the people I loved the most.

It’s a sad day in our company. Many people are being let go because we lost a big account we were supporting for more than a year or so. The company is yet to find another account to compensate for this loss and cannot afford to pay the people for retraining without another account. Even senior employees are being let go if there is any ground such as low performance and bad attendance records.

This is the truth. That even if we are regular employees, we cannot say we are very secured in our job. A job cannot provide security for the rest of one’s life. Therefore, while we still have a job, we really need to be financial wise in handling the money coming in. Most people, working in call centers like me spend their money on unnecessary things such as clothing and other stuff which are not really that necessary. Yes, it is necessary to look good and to present one’s self pleasantly. But, most people don’t draw a clear line between looking professional at work and dressing up only to impress others. They think money will not run out of stock.

But, the truth is, we are working hard for this money. Allowing ourselves to be under stress and to have less time for things we wanted to do and for the more important things. So, it is always wise to use this money in a good way by spending and saving wisely. Yes, it is never too late to start this good habit. Our money should go to important things which includes our daily needs such as clothing, shelter, food etc. And when we buy items for our home, such as a mattress, it should be of good quality so we won’t have to keep buying it every now and then.
