Work Blessing is a Gift from God

I’m amazed that until this time of the day I’m still not sleepy. I only had a one-hour sleep last night because of some due and grabbed tasks I can’t resist to take. Good enough for me as I’m really saving up for my kids’ tuition fees come April this year. I’m very thankful that blessings are pouring in almost everyday this week. Though my work is up to my neck I can schedule my work to beat my deadlines. I’m also happy that my pending applications are now approved.

I feel so blessed now that my decision to choose this job instead of my stable office employment has proved to be God's will because He always provides opportunities for me. I feel as if God has given me this wonderful gift of being able to work while I attend to my family's needs. Thank you Lord! I'm sharing this verse to somehow guide you in making decisions.

Started My Healthy Meal Plan Again

I started again on taking my diet plan seriously because I feel I’m not as strong as I used to be. I don’t want to reach being obese before I make some steps to reduce my weight. As I’m feeling the need for the best slimming pill to shed off my unwanted pounds I know I can’t just take it without doctor’s advice. For three days now I had my healthy meal plan of half rice, vegetable or fish for my lunch. Then I eat silken tofu with pineapple, papaya or any other fruit for dinner.

Once or twice a week I also eat lean meat but definitely with 2 tablespoon of rice only. I can’ eat without fruits and this habit helps me a lot in maintaining my fiber supplements. I’m keeping it up at least for this week to see if I can control my cravings then I’ll try the no rice meal next week. I’m seriously pondering on taking rice only on breakfast as it’s the most important meal of the day and I can shrug it off with the whole day activities.

Mom’s Old Medicinal Books

I’m reading my Mom’s old books to look for medicinal plants that can be used for simple sickness in the house. I feel I should know things like that because I don’t want to rely much on the drugs available in the market. I know that oregano leaves can cure simple cough and very good for babies and toddlers. It’s a mild formula for them and it promotes good health too, you can even take them when you’re not coughing. It can also be used for cooking. Well I also found in my Mom’s book some foods that burn fat and I jotted them down immediately for myself since I feel I’m gaining some pounds lately.

Since I can’t consult my doctor right now I feel safe using natural herbs. I'm also taking plenty of vegetables and fruits everyday for fiber supplement. I’ve been reading a lot these days about health and home because I’m planning to open another site with that kind of category. My Mom’s books are really the best book for me as it answers most of my researching that I can’t find on the net.

:RT/WW - Fast Growing Up!

These are my kids a year ago picture taken last summer of 2009. Just chosen this one out as I think they're growing up fast except for my little boy :) here who never cease to pose extraordinary faces every photo shoot. My eldest and youngest are graduating this March and April from Preparatory and Primary School and I realized how fast time flies. Few years from now my girls will be in college and my little boy will soon grow up also. Now I'm just enjoying their childhood and documenting every stage in their lives so when they finally become fully grown up I'll have their photos and videos to look back and reminisce!

Promotional Help for Products

My daughter loves to receive brochures from special offers in the supermarket and it extends to the rest of the mall whenever someone approaches us for a meal promo or sales promo on the stores around the place. She even gets some from the racks whenever cashier asks us to get one. Then when we reached our home she will read and contemplate on the offers available and checked out some for our next visit.

Well maybe I think it’s a good form of promotion for products, events, companies or anything that you would want to inform to the buying public. Just like my former company when we’re having big product launching and sales events. The boss would ask us to inquire and request quotation for rack card printing of our full color product information. We usually request quotes for different volumes of order so we can see how much we can save if we order by bulk.

We needed to be reached out by our clients and it’s the only way to make our products known by the consumers, we’re just a small telco and few years only in the business. After our launching I received emails and phone calls inquiring about our phone card products and services. It’s really a big help in the business, it matters a lot!

:FF/FTP : Cheesy Pichi Pichi

I'm posting here one of our potluck foods in our Alumni Homecoming one of our town's specialties also (Cainta is known for coco jam, bibingka and related native delicacies). One of my batchmates brought this one and it's a success :-) It's really yummy and somewhat different from the usual pichi pichi. Anyway for my foreign friends out there Pichi Pichi is a steamed cassava which is usually topped and rolled over coconut but this one has a yummy cheese toppings which I think is more safe to eat because coconut is only good for few hours. Also the cheese toppings makes it not so sweet in taste. Overall rating = thumbs up!

Great Way to Store and Moved Out

Moving isn’t easy as this requires a lot of work and some finances too. More often people move for better opportunities that never seem to come in hand in your present location. Although it’s hard to relocate we sometimes need to sacrifice for our family’s well being and success. I know how it is to move as I’ve experienced it early in life when we move from my mother’s provincial town to stay for good in my father’s city town. It’s uncomfortable having all your things in moving truck because you’re not assured of the safety of your properties from damages.

Now with modern companies thinking of the common hardships in moving out it is much easier now to transfer with the help of companies like storage Minneapolis. They will not only make your relocation an exciting experience but will help you get the best of storing your things sorted out perfectly the way you would want it to be. With the help of SMARTBOX you can pack ahead of time and move later. No worry about hidden fees that might come up and you’ll only pay for the space you’ve used. You’ll have comfort packing up at your own desired time with smaller boxes available for sorting out varied things.

SmartBox is very ideal also self-storage users, real estate professionals, people buying and selling a home, storage for apartments and homeowners who are into remodeling or renovation where they can store their precious things to protect it from damages. It’s for smart people! That’s why my office friend searched for storage st. paul when she want to have their things properly sorted and stored when they moved out to another job location assigned to her husband when he was promoted to managerial position. Her family is dreading the discomfort and stress on packing, storing, unpacking and moving but it proved to be an exciting event for them. It’s not only convenient but economical too as it’s more affordable than renting a truck.

The Value of Teamwork

Myspace Quotes Graphics

From my experience in work there are some areas of work that needs to be done by a team. Like when we’re doing our Technical Proposal and bidding for consultancy projects for roads, bridges and infrastructures. The final proposal will not be a success if we don’t work as a team because each member of the team has his own special task to do. If we don’t divide the task it will not be completed in time and it won’t be done as perfect as it should be.

The value of the work relies upon the people who worked for it. If the task done became successful it will be the success of not just one person but of every member of the team who has done his special part to make the project successful.

Finance Plans for the Kids

I’m supposed to drop by my former office to give my requirements for tax refund to a friend who offered to arrange things for me but the super hot weather, my not-so good back pain and plenty of due tasks changed my mind. I would reschedule it next week when I’m more relaxed and free from expiring tasks. I need to save more for my daughter’s tuition as I want to enroll her as early as this month for her entry in high school.

The school’s guidance called me up to remind me to get Ruth’s exam results. I told them if they can give it to my niece who’s studying in the same school and I’m glad they told me that they will just give it to her. I’ve scheduled my finances for my three kids which will study in 3 different schools next school year. This month of March is for Ruth, April is for Josh and month of May is for their school things, bags and shoes since Gen has no tuition fees to pay. Wish I’ll be able to follow my finance plan. More opps I think!

Regaining Your Good Credit Standing

My office friend consulted me about her credit card account that has gone out of hand and been neglected by her for sometime. Now the collection agency of the said credit card company has been calling her office and residence very often to update her payment. I think she badly needed credit repair services so she can caught up with the payment needed without paying the whole amount immediately. All she need is a good credit repair plan that would help her reduce her debt without sacrificing her whole month’s salary. Same thing happened three years ago when I was asked by a dear friend to talk to the legal collection staff in behalf of her to fix her credit card balances. I was able to minimize the total amount that she’s going to pay by about 50% and she was very happy about it. She was given a clearance from the credit card company and regained her good reputation again.
