And Then I'm Older....

-
Yep, I am now a year older, hopefully, wiser as well. The day was spent at home. Surprise, surprise! The little one woke me up to greet me happy birthday...

We just lazed around the house...I was in my pjs the whole day...LOL. The little one would greet me every chance she gets. Dad did some work around the house....touching up some peeled off paint and putting up a door to cover up something in the laundry room.

After lunch, we just laid in bed, all 3 of us, watching TV. The little one called it a: slumber party. Ha! When the show finished, father and daughter left to get me this:

Yep, a birthday cake. It has somehow become a tradition that I get an ice cream cake on my birthday. It's what I've been getting ever since I came over here.

After dinner of my favorite KFC chicken [I requested it...hehe], the little one handed me their present. This....
a nice bracelet

I used to wear a bracelet all the time but it broke a few weeks ago. I guess that's a good clue that I needed a new one, eh?

So that's how my birthday was spent. Nothing big, nothing fancy. I'm happy as can be. I still miss my Nanay and Tatang everytime I have a birthday but this is life now. I know they're happy wherever they are knowing I have my own little family. That's all they wanted for me anyway.

P.S.

I like the style of your "bonggang-bonggang bracelet". Quite similar to the one I had before but was snatched. (sob!)

Just be careful if you wear it here in the Phils.

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 .

My Life as WAHM....

-
Welcome to my blog. This is my first try to do this so please bear with me as I try to figure out how this thing called “blogging” works. I am a Filipina or a “Pinay” working at home or from home for the last 4 ½ years and loving every minute of it. I am married to an American and we have a 5-year old little girl. I’ve been living in the US for 6 years and I still don’t know how to drive…LOL. That’s probably the primary reason why I am working from home, well, aside from wanting to personally take care of our little one. Here’s a rundown of my online jobs. I hope it inspires anybody to believe that we, Pinays, can also land online jobs. So read on… Online Tutoring I am a teacher by profession so the first thing I looked for when I was searching for an online job is something related to teaching. I have not set foot in a classroom setting for the last 6 yrs, well, so yeah, since I got here. But technically, it’s only been 4 yrs since I have stopped teaching. The reason? My first work...
