:Today's Flowers #58

Click the image to enlarge

This week I'm having orange blooms for my entry. I just found this orange flowers in our church and they combined it with baby's breath and white chrysanthemums. The blooms look good on white flower background because the vivid color of orange was highlighted. I don't know the name of this flower. I'm just a little surprised at the frailty of this flower as their stems are so weak and the flowers wilt so fast. Very fragile!

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

Relaxing Garden Ponds!

I sometimes want to be outside the confines of my working room especially when I’m pondering or something. The environment always helps me on thinking creative ideas for my sites. I remember the garden near my former office where at the center of the whole area lays a nice pond with water lilies and some other water-inhabitant flowers all around it.

Just a glance and look at the pond makes me feel somehow relaxed and stressed-free just like the one I saw in Tagaytay during our camp meeting fellowship. It’s located inside a semi-mansion house we’re renting and it’s a nice welcome view for visitors even though it’s just a small pond. Being just a petite garden pond it’s very well maintained and I know they’re using just the normal small pond pumps which is very quick to install and operation is very easy. It’s not extra beautiful or special but I just want it for my own house because it has a cooling and relaxing effect on me.

Mommy Moments - Treasured Pictures

mommy moments

This week's theme is Treasured Pictures so I'm posting here treasured pictures of my daughters together. I just love them seeing together, Ruth grew up very fast but when they're toddlers they were mistaken as twins (not identical though).

Gen was 4 and Ruth was 5
Ruth was 6 and Gen was 5 hereRuth was 10 and Gen was 9
Time flies so fast. Now Ruth has just turned 12 and Gen is going to be 11 soon. In few years time they will be teens and I just want to enjoy them while they're young and holding on to me for everything. Still they want me as their companion in malling, dining out and strolling but when they're older I know they will have their friends to go out with. Just some thoughts from a Mom!

Maintaining Your Skin

It’s always raining hard these days and I thanked God that I don’t have to report to office and bear the heavy traffic along the main road. Personally I love rainy days as long as I don’t have to go out of the house on a corporate suit, that’s what corporate girls are suffering – wearing your best office suit or uniform and face the rains and traffic afterwards. You’ll reach the office looking like the storm swept your whole body.

Anyway my former work is just one floor below the famous skin care clinic for the rich and most showbiz personalities. I came to see personalities who look their best even on stormy days, of course they’re artists and not just ordinary employees. I supposed even they grow old it will not show on their faces as they’re using the best wrinkle creams available in the market. Actually they don’t just put the creams on their daily night and morning regimen; they also undergo special skin treatment before using it because the wrinkle creams are used for their celebrity look maintenance.

Another Blog For Me

Finally I’ve found the time to think and buy another domain name last month, it’s my fourth actually and my domain baby since I left my full time corporate job. I had intended to buy a domain and make another blog as soon as I’ve left my office but I was never prepared for a very busy schedule of a work-at-home Mom.

Needless to say that it caught me by surprise – the work I mean – I’ve worked since I graduated and it’s only now that I really stayed at home full time with breaks for the weekly shopping, midweek bible study and frequent visit to my chidren’s school. I’m beginning to feel that ideas are being put to waste hanging inside my thoughts only but when I talked to my friend JennyL I was encouraged and persuaded to make a go for it. It will be my site for techy things and shopping too. Just wait for this one friends, it’ll be somewhat different from my usual blog.

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.
