Saving for the Future

Honestly, when I started working at the age of 21, the word “SAVING” has not really sink into my mind. Half of my 1 st salary was given to my mom and half of it was spend to buy a new cell phone. For the last 3 years, my money was spend for our monthly electricity bill, air fare tickets, bags, shoes, clothes and going out with friends was my precedence. Now that I am a mom at the age of 25, my priority is my son and his future. I felt dreadful of what I did before but not to too late to do things right.  When I got pregnant with Dirk last July 2012, I immediately opened a savings bank account. I disciplined myself that I need to allocate money to put in a monthly basis and deposit on this account. Here in my workplace, I also joined a Cooperative Org. were in regular employees can also save money through instant salary deduction, depending on how much will you pledge to allocate in your monthly salary as your personal savings. Years from now, Dirk will be going to school...

Signs of a Happy Little Man

♥ I am very much thankful to our God almighty for blessing Dirk his very cheerful disposition every day. Others said that bubbly and smiling babies are showing a sign on how good and healthy they are. As of the moment, our little man is in his teething stage, I was too paranoid that he might get sick during this stage but thank God because he is really doing well. Dirk loves to play with his Tita Kristine; giggles a lot, plays with his toys, singing and babbling out loud and runs around our little room. He stumbles and fall but instead of crying, he laughs. I can really see the happiness on his face when he explores new things around him. Exploring new things is very crucial in his stage, putting his finger inside the electric outlet, in the electric fan and inside the freezer. I just find it funny because when his Lola Vangie will tell NO, the more he will do it with matching smile. We parents needs to understand these things that our little darlings loves to do, prope...

Free Article : WHY IS PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE SO IMPORTANT AT WORK?

  I got this free article from LEAD Career Mover, a training and consultancy firm located here in Cebu City. I am sharing to you this free article, this might be a great help for all of us. WHY IS PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE SO IMPORTANT AT WORK?   You never get a second chance to make a first impression.  Appearance counts all the time – from the job application, interviews, meetings and appointments, right through to every day on the job.  Don’t forget – you represent your company, and your image is that company’s essence.  Your employer’s goal is to have employees project a favorable image; your goal is to represent the employer and yourself in a favorable way. Your first impression may influence how people will react to the way you look and present yourself in the beginning, even if you look and act differently later on.  The way you look and act at work is critical to your success on the job. Why do people have to get dressed up in c...

How to be a Responsible Credit Card User

In our generation today, most of us are already using credit cards to purchase our needs and wants. I got my first credit card last 2008. At first I was really hesitant to use it because of the bad feedback I have heard from those who have credit cards. But now, with my four credit cards I am using now, here are some points I consider while using my credit cards: • Learn to BUDGET One of the reasons why we enjoy using our credit cards is we “PAY LATER”. But always make sure that you have allotted a budget for what you bought. • Purchase things that are NEEDS As a new mom, I use my credit cards to purchase the basic needs of my little boy like his milk, baby food, diapers, vitamins, feeding and bottle needs, bathing needs, and clothing stuffs. • Go for PROMOS Most of the credit card companies are having promos for their avid users (can really save a lot), I usually subscribe to email and SMS alert so that I am aware of the different promo offers of my credit card...

A Collection of MOTHERHOOD Quotes

I am really having fun reading different motherhood quotes in the web. Some I love and some I don’t. In honoring the Mother’s Day celebration around the world, here are some motherhood quotes that you might find satisfying and rewarding to read or ponder. Enjoy reading! “Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs in my field, since the payment is pure love.” - Mildred B. Vermont “The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children.” - Jessica Lange “ Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servant hood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves.” - Charles Stanley “Completeness? Hap...

Dirk's Cocoa Butter Melt : Review

This is the 3 rd product (BY NATRUE Handmade Soap) I used for my little man. After I used the Baby Blue soap for him, I tried this Cocoa Butter Melt. I bought this from Ms. +Shelley Madarang   a week ago and as of the moment I am using this for Dirk. At first, I thought that both soap will have a different effect (Regular bar compared to Special Bar) but I was wrong. Baby blue soap really helped my endeavor in keeping the skin of Dirk smooth as possible. And now that I am using the Cocoa Butter melt for him, so pleased because it has the same effect with Baby Blue Soap, No more insect bites. The fairness and the smoothness of the skin of my son were maintained by these soaps.

Dirk's 1st Simala Trip : A Visit to Mama Mary

Since my college years, me and my friends visits Simala (located in Sibonga Cebu, 2 hrs land trip from Cebu City) to ask Mama Mary for guidance and help for the different endeavors we encounter. Not only we go there to ask something, but we also go there to give thanks to Mama Mary for never leaving our side during in times that we really need her help. Last 2012, The “Birhen sa Simala” or “Birhen sa Lindogon” became my refuge when my little boy got sick when he was born. Again, I asked the help of Mama Mary to heal my Baby Dirk. With Her divine intervention and God’s Healing power, my son was healed. From that moment, I promised Mama Mary to offer a visit with Baby Dirk as a sign of my deepest gratitude for healing my son. Hello Mama Mary, I am Dirk ♥
