Staying Home

Staying at home gives you time to dwell on more important things in life. Even though I’m not really just staying home because I’m working as well I now have time to take care of my kids and my Mom. There are things that I dreamed to do before but time restricted me. Now with my new adopted life I can do those things. To sum it all up I’m having the best times of my life now earning bucks while staying at home and enjoying more time with my family. There’s one disadvantage though on the other side of it as when an office friend saw me after almost 2 months she was surprised at how I gained weight. Yes staying at home without too much exercise can make you overweight.

Actually I didn’t expected it as I didn’t noticed that I gained that much. Oh well trust them who didn’t see you for a long time because they’re more likely to say the truth. They can see the difference much better than the people who see you everyday. I’m asking myself now if I really need to get serious in my diet plan and search for the best weight loss supplements that would give me guaranteed results. I will also have to consult it with my doctor for safety precautions. I don’t want to lose weight and be unhealthy. I always want a healthy diet plan and if ever I’m going to take supplements I’ll heed my doctor’s advice.

:Today's Flowers #57!

Click the image to enlarge

My theme of flower for this week is red and this is my Mom's flowers located in front of our terrace lining up its sides. Mom always water these flowers everyday by herself. Even if she has rheumatism she never fails to visit her flowers and check their conditions. You'll heard her beaming with gladness whenever her collection blooms. I got my flair for flowers from her.

Happy Monday! Visit more beautiful flowers at Today's Flower => here.

Looking Into Employees’ Benefits

In my previous job I’ve supervised a lot of things. I was assigned as Accounting and Billing Supervisor and due to multi-tasking needs of the company I did the responsibilities of Administrative and Human Resource Officer. I handled big responsibilities that even I can’t believe I can but also learned in the process. It was a small telecommunications company and when our HR Consultant went to Cebu to teach I was tasked to handle the human resource department.

Since I was with the same employer for more than a decade then I simply accepted the job without complaining. I’m the type of person who likes challenges and it’s indeed a challenge to handle accounting and personnel when my college degree is computer engineering. When I looked back at those years I think the most precious are the knowledge I gathered from handling field of work that I didn’t learned in college.

Looking back I can say that since I’m one of the pioneers in my boss’ small telco company I almost started everything there. I was trained by an Accounting Associate and when she resigned I took over and hired two Accounting staff to unload the payroll and payables from me. I can only supervise them as I handle carrier settlements. Though we have accounting staff I’m mainly responsible with the computation of employees’ incentives and checks the monthly reimbursement of transportation and Car Allowance which is really fine with me as we’ve started with few marketing staff only. They’re the one who were given corporate reimbursement privilege as they deal mainly with clients and they don’t stay in the office they‘re always on the go for meeting up prospect clients and demo testing.

But I know if there are plenty of mobile employees who will avail of vehicle reimbursement the company should need the services of Corporate Reimbursement Services, Inc. who will customize reimbursement program for vehicle. They provide easy calculations of reimbursement rates according to current gas price, mileage record and many other factors. It’s a great help to the company as giving car allowances to employees saves them a lot compared to issuing each mobile employees a car to use for their meeting and dealing with clients. It also helps the employees to use their car at no cost to them regarding gasoline expenses. It’s still convenient to use your own car rather than the company’s car.

Car Safety Reminders

When you have a car it’s like having a baby to take care of. You have to maintain it properly in order to have the best car performance. It’s an expensive necessity that you always have to allot some money for it because you’ll never know when the lights will go off or the tires will go flat.

There are many things to remember when handling a car and when you travel to a far place you’ll have to think of the term blowbag, an acronym for the car’s safety reminders. Blowbag when defined in each letter of the word means break, lights, oil, water, battery, air and gasoline. Well I just got it from our dear pastor in our church and he always reminds us when we travel for our camp meeting fellowship. Before any of our camp meeting travel we make sure that our car accessories are in good condition and to my experience the most common parts of the car that needs constant checking are the tires.

As tires used to be our common problem part in traveling we often buy a new one for our backup when the tires showed signs of wearing out. Before buying a new one we often canvassed the price in two or more dealers to gather the best deal offers just like the wheels and tires packages I’ve seen while I’m shopping online for a new USB. Wheelfire offers quality wheel rims and tires in wide range selection to fit every buyer’s needs. One good thing about these offers is the discount packages available for others to avail. By the way shipping is free so you don’t have to worry about anything.

Click the image to enlarge

My theme of flower for this week is violet and this flpwer shot was taken during the Linggo ng Wika celebration of St. Audry Learning Center. This violet blooms are actually one of the many flowers planted in the school. The color attracted my attention as it has a very intense color of violet. As usual I don't know the name of this flower and I just named it 'violets' in reference to its vivid color.

Happy Monday though I'm a bit late for this one! Visit more beautiful flowers at Today's Flower => here.

Enjoying the Chat

I was both happy and tired last weekend including this day which was declared as a non-working holiday to give way for a high position official in one of the religious organization in the country. We spent the whole weekend celebrating Josh’ birthday in our house, had some night outing in one of the malls where my hubby works and ended yesterday with a little eating celebration in the church. We were so happy that despite hubby’s busy work we have managed to give the kids the birthday celebration they want. I’m just too tired to post for my online tasks but anyway I’m entertained very well by my instant messaging online office friend where I was told that she had engaged herself in a live chat and she enjoyed it well.

Previously I looked at the chat technology as a means of enjoyment and pleasure only but I was amazed that it could also be used in businesses to increase their sales. It helps to market and boost your products and at the end be competitive.

Josh is Now 6!

Josh turned 6 today leaving me just one more year to his toddler years when he will leave those baby days next year when he reach 7 years. As he's my youngest a part of me still wants him to be always just like now bubbly, always excited about new things, always asking 101 questions a day :-), sweet, thoughtful and the funny kid in our house. He's such a charming and lovable kid even our neighbors told me so. If there's an award for the Little Mr. Friendship I'm so sure he'll win the title.

For now I'll just grab whatever childish charms he now has and cherish it so when he finally grew up I'll just recall all his pictures and funny videos so I'll not miss his baby days.

Activities for his birthday were posted on my other blogs!

NYC Sightseeing

I love to go places and I always bring my camera with me so I can have some memorable photos to document all the places that I’ve been to. I’ve been stucked for several years in my job in a very tight schedule where I consumed my vacation leave mainly for attending to my kids’ school activities. My work demands that I’ll be at the office always so absences are far from my mind leaving me no time for myself. I’m just glad that I had chances of traveling in line with our church camp meeting fellowship. We held our semi annual camp meeting on far away places so my liking for going to different places coincides with our church travels.

My likings for traveling to various places lead me to browse online for vacationing resorts and great places to visit. Sometimes it helps some of my friends who have the time and money to spend free time going out of the country and vacationing. They asked me to search about places and if they feel that the place is good they plan their vacation on my vacation finds. Recently I’ve browsed through New York Sightseeing sites and found that they have packages for group sightseeing tours which offers visiting to different places in NYC like downtown tour, empire state building observatory, Washington D.C., top of the rock observatory deck where you’ll get to see spectacular views of New York and many other attractions of the city. My former officemate was so happy and excited upon seeing what I have found for her and she planned her trip three months from now.
