This morning, i received an email with the RCBC Account Suspended. I think this is not the first time that I have received an email like this one. I have received one from RCBC, Metrobank, Unionbank, Chinabank, and Standard Chartered once a month. I always mark it as spam or just delete it. Why? Because I don't have an account on these banks except for Chinabank. These are just phishing emails that would ask you to clink on a link to "activate" your account. Phishing emails are usually sent...

December 5, 2011, when I made a blog post about an Odesk Milestone of 10,000 Working Hours. (see post my post Odesk Milestone: 10,000 Working Hours ). That time, my goal was to reach 12,000 personal working hours by December 2012. Neither did I expect that this goal is something I could reach even before December 2012.. Why? Simply because, exactly 3 months and 5 days since my post last December, I already have a total of 11,013 personal working hours. In just, three months of working, I...

We recently transferred to a new house, it is rented, and we can only make minimal renovation to it. We can't really make it into something like our dream home. But, one thing we can do and make it look good without doing the need of installing permanent fixtures would be to make use of Contemporary Wall Lights, like those that I have seen at the Modern Lighting Website. I really like the Perspectives Coupe to be placed at the wall beside the stairs. When lighted, I am pretty sure that the...

Looking at my posts. I have been gone for exactly 27 days! That is really long! It had been a crazy 27 days. But the best part was we were able to transfer to a new house. It was a goodbye condo, and hello house month for us. Contrary to what other people thought, we are only renting the house. How I wish I could already afford to buy a new house, and that is one of my goals in the next 4 or 5 years. The house is merely 5 minutes from Ayie's office (that is without traffic), meaning, he gets...

We love traveling and seeing different places. Now that we already have Jabe, we wanted to be able to travel and explore different places more so that Jabe can be able to see the world. Probably one of my dream family getaway is Orlando, Florida! And I would definitely love to go to Disney World. If given the chance, it would all be our first time to visit not just Disney World and Florida but as well the United States. This dream, I know will soon come true. But for some, who are also...

My driver's license expiration date was last 18 December 2011. But due to a jampacked schedule for the holidays I have to delay my application for renewal. Last 17 January, a day it will celebrate its first month of expiration, Ayie accompanied me to have it renewed. Instead of going to the LTO Offices where all transactions are being processed, we went to the LTO Drivers License Renewal Center located at SM Hypermart in Tiendesitas. There are two rooms: one is the renewal center and the...

This is a one week overdue post :( For the past year, my only indulgence was to check-in in a hotel, spend the night and relax. In celebration of our second civil wedding anniversary last January 18 which is a Wednesday, we decided to check-in at the Waterfront Manila Pavilion Hotel last weekend 14-15 January 2012. We chose Manila Pavilion Hotel for several reasons. - 1st, Jabe's vaccination and monthly check-up at Manila Doctor's Hospital was scheduled last January 14 and the hotel is...

I can not forget the Saturday when I was the one who held Jabe during his monthly vaccination. Last Saturday, 14th of January was Jabe's schedule for his 3rd dose of HepB vaccine. Unfortunately, his father has to go to Bicol for a business trip the day before and will only be back afternoon of Saturday. We usually schedule Jabe's check-ups and vaccinations on a Saturday so that Ayie will be there with us. But since I don't want Jabe to miss his scheduled vaccine and check-up, I decided to...

And here I am, trying my best to write my first post for 2012. I have neglected this blog for the past 2 or 3 weeks. What kept me busy? Of course, there's Christmas, New Year, Gatherings, Work, Laundry :) and the most important reason that kept me busy JABE! What to write? I have nothing really specific in mind. I am not used to writing or creating any New Year's Resolution because I usually forget about it a day or two after I create it so I would not be writing about that. Hmmmm...and my...

Looking back at my posts for the past weeks, there never was a week that I am too lazy to compose a blog post. And here I am again, lazy and can't write a proper blog post. So I decided I'll just post a photo of smiling Jabe

"Words Are More Powerful Than Facts" That is just one of the phrases that caught my attention during the SP Meet & Greet last November 29, 2011 at the Eastwood Richmonde Hotel. The SP or Smart Parenting Meet & Greet is an event of Smart Parenting Magazine for readers and bloggers to meet their editorial stuff. I, together with my sister and my son, were lucky enough to be one of the first registrants at the event and got invited to attend. all dressed-up Jabe The event started with a...
