Last Minute Shopping

-
Why is it that we do that to ourselves? I guess we like the adrenalin of being rushed? I don't really like being rushed. I usually 'rebel when I'm being rushed. I just flat out stop and that's it. This time it's a bit different. We didn't have a lot of time to prepare for the upcoming trip so there is no choice but to do as much as we can with whatever time we have on our hands....much as I don't like it.

Anyway, a lot of the things I'm taking to my loved ones back home are bought online. That's the only way for now since hubby is only free on the weekends which means shopping in local stores will be limited. I also did my online shopping mostly at nights because I have other things to do during the day. Clothes and shoes are the most requested as expected. One of my brothers asked for a pair of work boots which I had to buy online of course. Hubby was beyond surprised when he saw me on a website that sells things like carharrt boots and carhartt coveralls for men. He just cannot fathom the idea of my brother wearing those work clothes/shoes because of how hot it can get in the Philippines. I have to explain to him that we're so used to that kind of weather that some can even walk around in long sleeves, long pants and boots in 90 degree weather. He just looked at me like I lost my marbles then went back to minding his own business. Haha....

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...
