Jade and I...

-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I was about 10 years old, my father handed me a something very precious. It was my birthday and before I left the house to attend the mass, he gave me a necklace with a gold chain with big jade pendant. It was the most expensive gift I've ever received at that age. Unfortunately, I lost the necklace. It was devastating but I couldn’t do anything about it. From that day on I developed some kind of an affinity with jewelry that has jade on them or those that are made of jade.

So when I went to Taiwan to teach, one of the first things I bought were pieces of jade jewelry. One of which was a jade bracelet for my mother and some bracelets for my other relatives. I don’t have any jewelry right now that is made with jade except for one baby bracelet. I really want to buy some pieces some day. I just don’t know where to find them….until today. I learned that I can buy Ethnic Chinese jewelry & Asian home decor @ Jadeseal.com. It’s an online shop that has the things I’ve been looking for like these….





Aside from being ethnic and authentic, they are very affordable. I didn’t know I could find these at such prices. Can you tell I’m happy???

You Belong With Me...Little One's Version

-
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is the little one singing with the new Taylor Swift song called: You Belong with Me ... acapella She's a big TS fan right now so that's all I'm hearing around the house lately. The little one's video is far from perfect but I'm a proud Mama. She recorded this all on her own so pardon the little 'booboos/mistakes' she made while recording/singing. Enjoy! If you're not familiar with the song, here's the link to the official video .

Paid Blogging....

 ...is that still even a thing today? I stopped blogging actively several years ago...so now I'm like starting all over again.  I don't even know what to post anymore. A lot has changed since I started this blog in 2008. Yep, that's how long ago it's been. Back then I just wanted to write whatever. I was already a WAHM - Work at Home Mom when I started this blog and that's how my blog title came about. I started doing work-at-home jobs as early as 2002. I had a handful of different jobs I was juggling at that time so blogging was just really something I did during my free time. After a while I did paid blogging. I did that for a few years. I tried to do it as much as I could but my 'real' jobs had to be my priority so my blogging had to take a back seat. In retrospect, that may be the reason why I slowly lost interest in doing it. I tried going back to it every now and then, but the 'mojo' is just not there so I stopped altogether but opted to keep m...
