Debt-free 2012

Jody — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 13:09:04 +0000

I am sure everyone’s wish is to be debt-free in the next coming year. I am glad we are gearing up our plans to pay off all our bank loans and mortgages already. My credit cards have been free already and I am very happy about it. I have zeroed out most of my outstanding balances from my card. Well, getting ready for another round of shopping in outlet malls in the US come December. I am sure my card will get a lot of beating during those times. So now, I doubt if I would truly be debt-free by 2012. Maybe, I can say, before the Chinese New Year? lol!

In his office…

A couple of weeks back, I had a chance to visit the husband in his office. I was surprised to see how nice and huge his room is. His room is actually located at a corner office. He even has his own restroom. Although I think he needs a better coffee table and chairs for his small meetings. Well, apparently, his requisition has not been processed yet. Oh by the way, he is actually looking for some qualified people for available posts in their office. They are offering Case Management Manager Jobs for those who can meet the qualifications.

On his table…

Such heartwarming to see the ones on top on my husband’s office table. The photo book was something I made for him. I placed the names of the kids making it as their gift to their dad. It was my first time to see his room office this week as I went with him to do some bank errands. I am surprised on how big his room with his own comfort room! Then he also has a brand new Asus Tablet PC.

I wanted to put some decors to his room though. Maybe, I will do so one of this days. I am even thinking to bring him some christmas decors

On my 1000th post…

Jody — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 09:08:11 +0000

Yes, this blog have started since November 2007 and this is my 1000th post… I can’t believe I have written that most number of blog posts. Although I have not been regularly posting, blogging have actually brought about a number of things for me. I was able to document things and happenings on my daily life, my family, my kids and just about anything. Most importantly, I gained a lot of friends (real ones actually) through the course of my blogging career! I won’t promise I would do regular posting but I’m far away from knocking this down. There are just so many things I still love to share. Best of all, it is something worth keeping.

Collar bone?

Jody — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 23:12:07 +0000

Friends were asking me if I am taking weight loss pills because I am kinda losing weight! Woohoo! Though I am considering already but I am taking a different diet at this time. It is actually not a total diet formula but I am just watching my food intake now. I try to read labels and ensure that I would only take a maximum of 1300 calories a day. I still take coffee because I cannot do without in a day, still eat few sweets and even take 1 cup of rice every meal. 1 cup of rice is equivalent to 120 calories only. It’s actually the same thing like taking 3 slices of Skyflakes biscuits yeah, that’s right! So I would rather take 1 cup of rice and a deck of cards size of viand be it pork, beef or chicken. See, it’s effective…you can now see my collar bone! Woot! Harharhar

Family Travels…

Jody — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 15:16:46 +0000

We love family travels. I love traveling with my girls and my dear husband. It is always refreshing to go to a nice place and spend some quality time with the whole family. It is just about rest and relaxation. We recently had one. Will talk about the trip more on another post. But talking about family travels makes me think about security as well. I think it is also important to consider like accident insurances. What do you think? It’s also a consideration to keep in mind a professional to run to in case something like an accident happens. I know there are lawyers who are actually known to be efficient on such job. Example is an Austin personal injury lawyer. These are lawyers who actually takes care of a case when you have been injured through negligence of another party. The known lawyers in Austin for example are the ones from O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath – Personal Injury Lawyers – who are located at 808 West Avenue, Austin, TX. 78701 – 512-494-9949. I know it is a group to keep in mind.

Sisters Forever!

Jody — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 08:11:15 +0000

I cannot wait for the photo books I have ordered from Artscow. One of my favorite books that will arrive is the Sisters Forever I ordered. It contains beautiful pictures of my two girls. I hope they would both like it. I want to impart to them that they will indeed be sisters forever. I am hoping that my first batch of order will arrive by next week. That would be a happy treat for a busy mom like me. Now, for the meantime, let me finish my research on document imaging as I need it for my business.

Artscow Addiction…

Jody — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 08:26:39 +0000

It was a little craze among Twitter friends for the past two weeks. We were all in a rush to finish some photo books to avail of the promo available from Artscow. I myself finished about 8 books. Yahoo! I’m happy that I finally finished most of the travel pictures that have been pending ever since I signed up with Artscow. If you haven’t done so, it’s better to sign up now too since they give about 100 free prints for new sign ups. I literally work on it even on wee hours just for me to finish it. I’m almost like a walking zombie every morning, which makes me fail to check on what my father is asking me to research for a supplier. He wants me to check available sources for That gives me a fluid tech. I better check online now.

Sprained Ankle…

Jody — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 09:29:17 +0000

I met a small accident last saturday evening that resulted to my sprained ankle. It was a terrible fall that I was crying on my way to the hospital. Thank God though that I didn’t suffer from any broken bone. It was just that my whole right foot was swollen so poor me, I was actually stuck in bed since Sunday morning. As of today, I can actually move it a bit. I hope I would be in full recovery by tomorrow.

God really has His ways. Maybe, it was His way of telling me to slow down. To take it easy with work as well and to enjoy the company of my girls every afternoon. In the past few days, i have been closely monitoring the kids progress in school. I am grateful for the time that I can teach them their assignments every afternoon.

I am grateful as well that I was able to read some e-books which I have been delaying in the past couple of weeks because of my busy schedules.

I am also grateful for my efficient helpers who have been assisting me since my accidents.

And of course grateful for the comfort of my husband who takes care of me and ensures that I actually do not leave bed so I can have speedy recovery.

Hope I can really walk by tomorrow.

Searching through Zugo LTD

Jody — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 08:58:49 +0000

Nowadays, I cannot fathom the idea of not using the internet within the day. I would almost get sick if I do not check my emails and my favorite blog sites. Today, internet has become a popular tool to whatever is available in the market. Any company would even have a website or the very least a Facebook page. In my day to day activities and work requirements, I rely mainly on the internet. I search about suppliers and their reviews from good search engines that can provide me with valuable information. I noticed that some companies even have a customized search products in their website which is a very good tool to increase versatility of their site and catering to customers who have direct point of inquiry. Now, for my own company website, I am even thinking to have my own toolbar like those from Zugo LTD which are easy to install. These toolbars are not even detected by malware software companies nor it is a spyware. It does not affect any computer’s performance. In fact, I can even have an option to uninstall it should I decide not to use it anymore. Thus, I’m pretty sure that searching through this toolbar can cut my work in half as I can browse the web quicker and easier.
