Employment in New Zealand

Do you know the latest land of opportunity? It’s New Zealand, the land of the long white cloud. What I know of New Zealand are the beautiful and fresh acres of green grass where good breed of cows were cared for to produce fresh milk exported to different countries including the Philippines. My favorite milk when I was a child until now came from New Zealand. It’s actually the most beautiful country with snowy mountains and wonderful beaches. Now I’ve been hearing some good news about this country as I have a friend applying for New Zealand residency and she actually asked help from me to acquaint her with some information and facts about the country she wants to move to. It’s always good to know everything so that preparations can be made earlier.

Alongside New Zealand’s fast growing economy are the job opportunities available in New Zealand. But you have to be competitive with your experience and qualifications to land a good employment in New Zealand so it’s better to start gaining knowledge on how to migrate, work and live there. I’ve found Lets Move 2 NZ, a website that caters specifically to those want to get work visa or permanent residence because it provides all information about New Zealand’s climate, lifestyle, job opportunities, economy and application requirements to work or live there.

is not anymore difficult especially if you are skilled and qualified enough in your chosen field. This will also help you get accustomed to New Zealand’s way of life as working and migrating to foreign country is both exciting and a little bit apprehensive. You’ll get to meet a lot of new friends, learn and experience different cultures and live a life away from your family, relatives and old friends.

Flores De Mayo



We all know that May is the month when flower blooms so beautifully together with different equally pretty ornamental plants. That's why we also chose this month to be our wedding date 12 years ago. I really love the month of May because it brings so many memories of happy childhood playing in the sun with my siblings, cousins and friends, you know I have plenty. Or sometimes playing board games when we want to relax.

That's our usual summer vacation days which was often combined with weekend swimming escapades around the resorts in Rizal towns. It was a happy childhood and teenage years. To coincide with the blooming month and summer vacation, Flores de Mayo was also there to give highlights to this beautiful month, actually it's the month ender. I remember seeing the best Flores De Mayo at the end of the month always.

As you can see here Josh' everyday buddy and friend Carl was beaming with happiness as he and his partner joined the last parade of Flores de Mayo for this year last Saturday May 31. He was looking at us and was excitedly asking if Josh was there to see him, I told him that I'll just take a picture of him because Josh was asleep already.

Child Safety

As parents we give all our love, time and financial support to our children to ensure that they will have the best of everything they want. We nurture and discipline them in a way that they should be when they grow up. They are our precious treasure and most important next to God. We love them dearly and we’ll do anything just to keep them from harm, after all child safety is the most important thing to keep in mind always. Our children are God’s gift to us and He entrusted them to us to love and protect.

These days we often hear about news of children being kidnapped for ransom and if the parents can’t give the bad guys what they want the poor kids end up being killed or hurt. This is a frightening thing as we really don’t know how bad are the bad guys and how far they will go to extract money from their victims. Missing children are usually reported to police authorities but it takes time to gather information, pictures and relevant documents that are needed for the investigation to start. Time is very important here as anything horrible can happen in few hours. I’ve heard reports that some abducted children were killed after being lost for 3 hours.

To be sure you have all the information you need in case of emergency you should take a look into Child Alert System which offers security and storage of your children’s confidential and valuable data. With the use of their unique system you don’t have to worry about your child safety. You can easily store your information on Kidzcapsule, maps out favorite hangouts on Kidzmap just like a child locator and notify friends and family in a click the moment you realized your child is missing by means of Kidzblast. In this way they can easily assist local enforcement authorities with all the information ready to use.

Fruity Facial Cream With Egg

All of us want a clear, soft and tight skin but sometimes we don’t have the time and budget for things like this. We usually leave our beauty regimen as our last priority especially moms out there who were so busy attending to their kids.

I for myself don’t have time for these things having 3 kids, a regular office work and a part-time work at night on the internet. You should try this one as this facial cream is best for oily skin. Lemon can be used as a natural cleanser as most cleansing products are using lemon as their ingredients. Would you believe grapes? Yes this one will soften your skin and finally the egg whites which tighten it (as we all know)

Ingredients : Lemon, Grapes and Egg Whites

Preparation/Procedure:
Slice the lemon and extract the juice, put it in a bowl. Squeeze the grapes extract into the same bowl. Add egg whites to lemon and grapes extract and mix them smoothly.

Apply into your face and leave it on for 20 or so minutes. You’ll feel a little prickle in your skin because of the egg whites. Rinse face with warm water and you’ll feel a lot better with soft and radiant skin.

Five-Day Stay in Hotel

My colleagues went out of the country for a business trip and to attend a conference. They have prepared their passport, conference documents and baggage early yesterday so they won’t rush for today’s flight. Our technical head arranged for one of his staff to temporarily check technical matters for him and asked his staff to report to him via online messaging. Everything is ready including the reservations for 5-day stay in one of the cheap hotels available near the conference venue. They didn’t want a luxury hotel because they’ll just stay in the hotel at night after a day of attending conferences. Men are like that they’re not so fussy like girls.

Nanny Camera

For working moms like me we have no choice but to leave our kids to the care and protection of hired nannies because we work for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Lucky are those who can afford to stay home and personally administer their household and kids. I really envy them and been thinking a lot these days what would be the best plan to work and at the same time care for their personal and emotional needs. I also want to know what’s happening with my kids the time that I’m in the office. I know one officemate of mine who uses nanny camera to make sure that the nannies are doing the right thing with her toddler son.

Some may not like this kind of security that parents are doing but most parents are really over protective regarding their children. They want the best protection for their kids especially if the kids are infant or toddler. Some feel secured if there’s nanny camera on their house in which they can view their child’s activities and how their nannies treated them. Who knows? Each and every person has their own characteristics and moods. What if the one you entrusted to take care of your precious kid is capable of hurting children?

Each person has his/her own rights and I’m sure most nannies wouldn’t like or would feel uncomfortable if they will know that they’re being monitored by nanny camera. Best if they will never ever know it’s there. Anyway there’s a site that offers various types of nanny cameras disguised as mere decoration, toys, clocks or small appliances to make sure that kids are safe in your own house even if you’re no there. They have special designs like the nanny camera disguised as wall clock, wireless teddy bear cameras, black box, time recorder and DVD players. These designs can be easily set up for monitoring and recording as well. With these gadgets and modern technology reaching our homes there’s no need to worry about the time that we’re away from our loved ones.

Guide on EON Cyberaccount and Paypal

Got a call from Bes JennyL about enrolling to Union Bank and have realized that some people including me must have missed a step on having our EON Cyber Account and Paypal Verification.


JennyL forwarded me our blogger friend Cherry Rose’s ‘Steps to make your Paypal Account verified’. It was very helpful indeed just like all that Chikai has been teaching us, you know she always want help bloggers the ins and outs including this guideline that she posted on her blog. Thanks Chikai!
Now, I’m posting my own experience on doing this step-by-step guide if this can help bloggers out there who want to open an EON Cyber Account to get their Paypal verified.(kinda long :-)

Open Union Bank’s online banking, apply for an EON Visa Electron, be sure to specify your desired branch. Wait for 5-7 banking days, then go to your specified branch, it’s only 5 days but I’m glad that I waited for 7 days because when I reached the bank the staff said that the card has just arrived. Bring 2 IDs (3 to make sureJ) and have photocopies because the bank will get them. Pay P350 for yearly payment and deposit an equivalent of USD1.95 to be sure deposit at least P200. This deposit is for the lifting of your Paypal withdrawal limits of up to $500. The bank will give you your pin# and make sure you change this given 4-digit pin# into your own secret pin#.

After one week when your debit card is activated enroll your card to Unionbank Online Banking. Choose Cyber Account and they’ll ask for your username/card number and pin#.
Done? then go to your Paypal account and go to profile then click add or edit card. Type Visa as the type of card and be careful to type the same billing address as your EON Cyberaccount or it won’t add your card. Then Link your card and be sure that you’ll be deducted an amount of USD1.95 or equivalent peso for assurance that you’re done with it.
When approved, wait for 5 days (this is the maximum no. of days) and call their hotline number at 84-186 to get your Paypal Expanded Code. This is better than the other option to email Unionbank services online through EON CyberAccount.

Now if you already have your Paypal expanded code go back to your paypal account and confirm it by filling out the field for your 4-digit expanded code. You’ll receive a confirmation that your account has been verified. You can now go on with your paypal transaction.
