Thirteen Years Today

-
That's how long my 'Nanay' has been gone. I still think about her regularly especially lately. I wasn't around when she went. I was hudreds of miles away...a plane ride away....when she departed. I was devastated to say the least but after seeing what I saw this past couple of weeks, I am rather relieved that she went the way she did. Quickly...even if I wasn't around. She was never bedridden. She was confined and couldn't go anywhere without assistance but she could walk around. As a matter of fact, she was still mobile on the day she died. Above all, I'm glad she didn't need any pain medications to get her through each breath.

So today, I'm thinking about her and how much I miss her. For now, I'll just say a prayer or two for her and hope that one day when it's my time to go, I'll see her [and my Tatang] again. Wherever that is...

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...
