Internet Marketing as Career

If you frequent my blog, you know that I used to have a day job and that I quit mid of last year to take care of my growing children. Months have past and I have not applied for a new job yet. This time, I am looking for home-based jobs. I like it that way so I can still take care of my children’s needs, while earning a living.

And one of the most popular jobs out there now is in the field of Internet Marketing. Why not? In this techie world, many people spend more time in front of their computers. Just take the office workers for example. They are in front of their desktops and laptops for a minimum of 8 hours daily, about a minimum of 40 hours weekly. That is if they no longer open the home computer. You see, this is the reason why traditional media such as the television, radio and print as slowly evolving towards the Internet. Even the biggest television networks now have their own web sites where they post what they air on TV. Companies cannot afford for their market share to go down simply because they did not use any internet marketing strategy.

And this is why many companies are looking for internet marketers. I do not know a lot yet about this field. But I am easily taught and I am a fast learner. I am sure that if I give it a try, it can be my next career. If only I can start again with real work. The girls still need utmost attention from me. And the changing of helpers is so not helping!

Bicycle for Kids

Since we entertained the thought of buying Alex her own bike, I kept telling her that she is so privileged. In my entire life, I never owned a bike.

I can remember when I was a child, my grandpa will bring us to Luneta Park where we will rent bikes, a single one and even the ones with side car. I and my siblings will bike all we want until it is time for us to go home. I am not sure if bicycle for rent are still available in that park now a days.

In my teenage years, we simply borrow the bike owned by one of our friends and we use it alternately, while playing with other things like jump rope, chinese garter, etc.

So when we were at the bicycle store last Saturday, I kept telling Alex to be a good girl. I told her our condition over and over again hoping she will remember them in her heart. I am so thankful and proud of my husband because he is very supportive of our kids and their wants. I hope we can keep up with it until our children are older and have more whims.

Let me share with you Alex’s video where she is already using the bike by herself. This was taken yesterday, two days after we bought the bike.

Lights and Sounds at Ayala Triangle

I was so excited for Ayex’s school vacation last December. As soon as her Christmas party at school ended, we moved to my mom’s place in Las Pinas for a little vacation. Ayex and Maxyn had a great bonding time with their grandma and aunts.

Originally, I planned to visit several places with the girls while we were there, to make the most of our short vacation. I really wanted to visit a park with the girls because the malls were so crowded because of the Christmas craze. Luneta Park in Manila was our choice but we did not make it. Instead, we let the girls play in the village clubhouse every morning as soon as they woke up. The had so much fun running around in the bare feet.

I also wanted to visit the food bazaar that happens every Friday to Sunday in Alabang, which is really near my mom’s place. The other food bazaars in the metro were simply too far from us and that their schedule do not meet ours. Unfortunately, that did not push through as well for some reasons.
