MIA.....

-


I've been MIA from the internet world today. Why? Let's just say, it's because of something beyond my control. U-G-H!!!

First, it's my ancient laptop. It kept on freezing on me. I have no idea why but I'm guessing it's probably because it's almost 6 years old and that I've been using it almost non-stop 24/7, 365 days a year.

That shouldn't have been a problem because the PC is much newer and more up to date than my ancient lappy and I could have easily done my work using it but...it didn't happen? Why? Big thanks to our ISP...or our very new Internet Service Provider!!

We switched provider a few weeks ago....from cable back to DSL. Now, DSL is slower than cable so I'm not used to it anymore. I noticed that it loads much slower when I work so we decided to upgrade....today! Wrong move because as soon as we called them about the upgrade, the internet went out! As result, I was without internet the whole day. I had to wait for the husband to come home because the modem has to be configured .... again! It's finally working now....at 8 PM!! Sigh! I have tons of emails about some tasks...and bunches of messages about work. I probably wouldn't sleep to finish all of it. Arrgghh....

The husband asked me how I spent 'my free day'. I cleaned, what else. I vacuumed the whole house and cleaned the bathrooms as well as mop the floors. Not much of a FREE DAY is it?

So if you're wondering what happened to me....that's what. Hopefully I won't have the same problem tomorrow...BUT knowing how inefficient our ISP is and how ancient my laptop is, I am not holding my breath! I may just end up weeding tomorrow...

Hope you had a better start of the week than...yeah, me! Just another day in Pinay WAHM's paradise, eh?

Hayyy.. I was exactly in the same situation as you were the last two days. Our Internet Service was off too when I tried to log on at 3:00am last Sunday and it was back only late afternoon yesterday. Naki-internet lang ako sa celphone w/ bluetooth ni hubby sandali.

Well, for me I took it as a blessing in disguise kasi I had a good afternoon nap on those days!
Rest naman tayo once in a while.
Btw, thanks for the visit, J! Ingats!

Bwahaha! I hate it when the internet goes out. I really get annoyed and I immediately call the tech support guys to make their lives miserable, joke! I'm not that bad.

But yeah, life with out the internet is hell!

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...
