Health Care Jobs

I read from a news article the other day that the Philippines have over supply of nurses. I wonder why and how because I think health care jobs are so in demand right now, just a quick look at medical job sites and you'll see. Or maybe in demand abroad but not here. At least if they apply and get hired abroad, they'll earn more than what they could earn from here. Even if US dollar is not that strong anymore it is still much bigger compare to the Philippine peso.

vacation next week!

I've been working hard lately so I think I deserve a vacation. We are off to Tacloban  (my husband's home province) next week, not that it is a grand vacation where we will be billeted with the best hotel but at least one with a good bed and bath would be fine. And a working bathroom sink of course is a must. I've been looking online and I think I know where to book already. Hope to accomplish that before the weekends.And since we are going for a vacation, no more purchases for me and the husband not even the one with discount area rugs we saw on sale from the mall last week. :)

Excited!

Warranty

When buying a certain product do you give a lot of consideration about the warranty? I think we all should right? I hate it when you buy something and it was broken and then you found out the warranty does not cover it. It happened to us when we bought our industrial fan last December. We paid and bought new replacement for the broken part and to think it has only been bought less than a month ago that time. Good thing it was only an electric fan, not such big item. But what if it is something big? Better be safe.

A lot of manufacturers and distributor of consumer goods actually offer warranty to their products only if you buy them from an authorized seller, like the best radar detector, you can get one that is cheaper from different online sellers but warranty does not apply to such. And to an item like that you better buy from authorized dealer. Avoid hassle and head ache.

Dig a lawyers mind

It's a long day work again from the office and it’s extra tough today because we were literally forced to think as a lawyer, defense or prosecutor. It was not easy, though I remember when I was young I used to dream of becoming a lawyer someday. One who does help the poor who can’t afford to hire a lawyer. But I didn’t like the additional years of studying so I said goodbye to that dream. Now, I’m experiencing to be like one, well not like a Texas truck accident lawyer, or the overrated lawyer with the highly sensational case but just the same, we are sort of doing some attorney’s job.

I just hope this kind of work will soon be over and we will all move on to another. A concert maybe? Or an event? Or anything but nothing to do with the trial court please.

Guestbook Idea

Tired of the ordinary guest book you see in weddings or parties? You want something unique? Well, this guest book tree is nice! We will actually try to do to do this in one of my friend's wedding come February. I forgot where we saw this photo (google for sure) but I forgot the exact site so I do not know whom to give credit..(sorry for that) but it's not mine. I just fell in love with this idea.

Baby Announcement!

I’ll be getting two birth announcements for next two months. A friend is due to give birth next month, to a baby boy, she’s on her 36thweek now and another one on November to a baby girl!. Wow..baby boom within my group of friends huh? It’s a shame though that when we are all together and seated together like last night, I also look pregnant like them. Lol. How I wish though that I was but alas I am not. I am just plain big. Hehe

I hope it’s my time soon. I’m excited to make my own birth announcement and prepare for my own kid’s birthday party. 

They're nice no?

Work Talks

I’m home, resting and working at the same time. How I would love to be like this always. At home and yet working but I’ll be patient. I know in the future I will not just wait for a suspension or a day off from work for me to get some rest and work at the same time.

I’ve been working since I was 18 years old even when I was still a student and didn’t have to rest even right after college. I have been in the academe world for at least 6 years and in the corporate world for at least 11 years now. And you can say I am tired.

I worked in the telecommunication industry which is very short (four months) and then moved to horse industry where we process importation of live horses, we do sell also horse medicines and horse tack. Everything about horse I must say.

Now, my present job being an assistant to a boss who owns several businesses from different industries. I’m kind of windang..lol. I do not have a specific job. All I know is I had to assist to whatever my boss needs regardless of any company he owns needs it.

On the other hand, I am glad I have work and that I have a steady income monthly, some are having a hard time finding job especially in this trying times.

Small business-Online payment

As you all know my dear readers, me and my husband have small part time business that gives us extra earnings from time to time. I am praying that next year, this will not be part time anymore but I am wishing it will be the major source of our income. It is not easy but we are slowly getting there. Printing and party organizing will be our bread and butter soon. I am keeping the faith and my hopes high here.

As I have said it is not easy, but then again, every successful business started from small and they didn’t start with a breeze. For now, we are still struggling with finances and the capital but we are coping up. I am learning and it’s good.

I have now made contact with different suppliers and most of them I’m dealing online, so internet is one major part of the business. And I keep on searching for easy payment solutions when it comes to paying. I prefer paying online because it’s faster and hassle free. There are many online payment mode or banking type now over the net and it is really an advantage to those who have businesses. One supplier I met does not accept online payment so it’s quite hard to order with them because it means I still have to go out and deposit to their bank account. Waste of time I should say but it’s how it goes for them.

Anyways, I really wish for our small business to thrive and grow next year.

Books on Sale!!!

I surrounded my self with books today and it's one of those days that how I wish I am rich so I can buy lots and lots of books!. I was able to dragged hubby to Manila International Book Fair at SMX (MOA) this afternoon and I was glad he came. He enjoyed browsing too!

Ref magnet

I am now into Photoshop. And though I know I have to learn more about it, I am proud that I was able to finish some design for ref magnets last week. I will spend more time with it and I'm sure I'll be able to do more with the help of my husband of course. I think we should be both knowledgeable with so if ever one of us is not around or available we can still continue working.

And yes, you heard it right, we are now making acrylic ref magnets, perfect for souvenirs during birthdays and weddings or anniversaries, it's very useful pa. Sample of our work below.

Food, food and food

Forgive me for making you drool (even with a not so good photos) but that’s what I have been eating since Friday. Chicken and pasta galore and potatoes! Please give me an Appetite suppressant diet pills so I could stop the binging. I think I can still eat mojos and baked potatoes and chicken all week! And tomorrow we will be dining out at Soms (Thai Food). Oh gosh. This food tripping has to stop.

Happy Birthday Mahal!!

Happy Birthday mahal, And as a gift to you today- I am renewing the vows I made to the Lord and to you on our wedding day. I want you to know that it will be forever true to my heart! Love you so much!
