The 'FAN'

-
This the reason why we had to take a trip back to the Philippine store today. The store owner promised the little one a fan similar to the one displayed on the wall of her store. The fan on her store wall is actually a souvenir fan from the Philippines but she said that she could get fans similar to it in the 'tiangge' she goes to every weekend.

Unfortunately, it was raining when she went so the 'bangketa' [sidewalk] didn't have any vendors so she wasn't able to find the fans. But since she promised the little one a fan, she just gave her this one which she got somewhere else some time ago. She said she knew the little one will be coming back this weekend and she didn't want to disappoint her. Such a sweet lady. Anyway, the little one is happily playing with it right. She said she can now'open' it easily....haha. The joys of simple things, eh?

bigla akong nag reminisce seeing the pic. mahilig din ako nyan when I was E's age. yan at handkerchief.I was not able to function pag wala ako nung dalawa hahaha.

mainit pa din kami dito. we're not seeing any relief in the coming days this week, if I believe the forecast. I'm not inclined to complain though kasi I'll take this weather over freezing temps.

sana'y maganda and unang araw ng iyong linggo. take care!

The fan might be simple pero maganda. Kaya siguro fascinated si E apart from the attractive color. Girlash na tunay eh!

Typhoon Basyang just left the country but she destroyed a lot of infrastructures and numbers of death toll. At least. di sya tulad ni Ondoy.

Have a great Thursday Huling!

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...

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...
