This IS it....

-
I've been a WAHM for about 8 years now...more or less. I started when the little one was a few months old only. I've blogged a few times about it...how I started and what kinds of WAJs I've had so far but my very first post in this blog probably sums it all up pretty good.

Every now and then I get asked by some people I meet how I ended up with the gigs/jobs I now have.

I searched.

Isn't that how one finds a job, usually? I don't really have any secrets. I didn't know anybody who was a WAHM when I started. I just knew I wanted to find something I could do at home to help augment hubby's income especially when the baby came. I spent countless hours searching online. Then I got lucky. That was the break I needed because after that one lucky break, I was able to get my foot in the door of the WAH community.
Perseverance. That's probably the most important thing when one is looking for a job...whether something to do at home or outside the home. Even now that I already the jobs that I have, I don't stop looking. I still search regularly hoping something pops-up. I don't really know what I'm looking for. I'm just looking. Who knows one day I might just stumble upon that one perfect WAHJ that will make me say...this is it.

Here in the Philippines, staying as a WAHM is rare case. Not all can manage to survive. But thank God, I am able to do so for three years now and I am not planning to quit. Just like you, I am always looking... looking for ways how to earn an income from home.

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...
