WAHM Tips: What’s Your Work Space Necessities?

A way to become successful in any career path you choose is to create a work space that fosters creativity, brain power and energy. Today, I decided to write down necessities for my work at home work space. These are the things that should always be within reach so I can function well as a WAHM.

1. CORKBOARD & CALENDAR

It looks clean on this photo but today it isn’t! I wish to prettify it a bit but as you all know, I don’t have any creative juices flowing just yet.

But the most important thing for now is that it works well for me, I can check on my schedule at a glance without rummaging through my diary and my Google calendar. Every single activity has to fit right in or else my entire schedule needs to be rearranged.

Being a Work at Home Dad (WAHD)

Guest post by Troy Alcantara

Dad playing with daughterIt might not still be conventional to hear or see a Work at Home Dad, but we are out there. Some chose to live in silence and a few choose to be always present in the worldwide web to promote either their advocacy or services.

Some WAHDs own businesses stationed at home or near it, but most are virtual assistants, programmers, developers, graphic artists and designers working at the comforts of their own home. This is intended for a lot of reasons but mainly, to be with their family. Some, after exhausting a lot of effort, feel that the corporate life and commuting is not really their thing. But nevertheless, it is the presence and spending more time with their family is all that matters.

Pinay Mommy ADreamer Has Been Hacked

Yes, my blog’s back to it’s normal state!

 

 


Philippine Nurses Underpaid

I just had a harsh realization early today while nursing a terrible flu.

My cousin is in town to take a licensing exam to be able to apply work in AbuDhabi. I was asking why he needed to work overseas when he’s already a Nursing Supervisor at a private hospital in the province, thinking he is earning around P18,000 a month.

I was shocked to know he is getting paid P7,500 net per month!

Some entry level nurses receive P5300 per month.

How in the world will our nurses survive on that?

Sigh.

Now I pray he pass the exam and that he can work abroad. There’s no reason to remain “makabayan” at this rate.

Sad.


Is It Safe To Let Kids Drink Hot Tea?

I’ve asked friends who are experts on eating and drinking right and they said it’s safe.

One friend quipped, ” Heck, I’m giving my kids soda and it must be wayyy harmful than a cup of tea”.

getty_rm_photo_of_flower_and_liquid

Hmm..that makes sense doesn’t it? Personally, I dislike any kind of soda. It hurts my throat when I swallow. So you’re assured that soda is not a staple in our home but tea and coffee are. We love tea and coffee! I think we may even be addicted to both!

Have you ever tried tazo chai before?

My husband, my daughter and myself have a 1 day per month trip to our favorite spa for a relaxing massage. The spa salon offers tea after your massage and Peaches I think associate calmness, relaxation and peace with tea.

She often asked to have a cup of tea in the afternoon and I indulge her. Not all tea contain caffeine. There are actually herbal tea that are good for your tots!

Changing Networks From Sun To Globe

I used to love Sun because they have the cheapest and most comprehensive plans. I use to have their unli call and text to all network + landline phone for under P1,000. Unfortunately I have to switch to Globe because Sun’s signal at out house is poor!

Send text absolutely FREE copy

It got to a point that I was missing important calls and texts from my relatives and unknowingly being hated for not answering calls. Turns out, when you call my then Sun number, you will hear the usual ring but at my end, I hear nothing. It does not even say I lost my signal or something.

Exercise For The WAHMs

fat-cat-exercise

2013 it seems is the year of living healthier!

All my timelines from my Social Media sites are mostly about eating healthy, exercise and diet. If you’ve been following my posts, you’ll also know that I have a love- hate relationship with diet and any strenuous activity.

fat-cat-exercise

But I totally get that I need to be physically active if I want to loose weight! This is why my husband and I are swimming several times a week. I find swimming very easy to do but as we all know, a good way to do cardio too. When I was younger, I was a sports fan. I play lawn tennis, badminton, basketball and I run too. I stopped when I became an online gamer (no, not betting! but MMORPG). I also climbed few mountains with friends. I remember owning few pieces of patagonia jacket women that I love to use when hiking.

Revisiting The Love For Dogs

I have a very cool client with a very cool B2C business and it’s about DOGS!

Working with the client made me revisit childhood memories with our dogs. Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs of all sizes. With my parents’ business, guard dogs are essential for us. They kept us safe at night and tire us during the day for most of them needed play and exercise.

My very first dog was a Collie and we named her Veedol after a type of lubricant sold in Shell Stations years back (because my parents own one). She was a great dog and I guess we grew up together, only she had to cross the rainbow bridge at age 13. We then had poodles, German shepherds, local (mixed breed) dogs and Pomeranian too.

Usability For Development Organization Websites

Yay! Saw this bar from another development org. I was quite pleased that even human development organizations are aiming for their websites to be easy to use and friendly. I wonder if this site is using a Web To Print Software.

I like their idea of “scavenger hunt” too.
Zings the brain to participate because it is in game form. 

Screaming Kids Banned in a Mall

Wow, seriously?

I have heard of restaurants in Singapore and some parts of the US were diners with kids are refused to be served or let in. There were also some who were brave and even posted a NO KIDS ALLOWED sign on their restaurant doors.

But this one’s new to me…a mall intolerant of screaming kids.
