Picture of the Week
Me and my colleague sometimes talk about what to wear next day to work. We came up with "Off-shoulder day", because the off shoulder style is starting to make a trend again. Good thing I have one top which was suppose to be my mom's. My sister bought it for her but it was too big so my mom gave it to me. H&M for P200 (sale). It's keeper right.
This was taken inside the rest room, after a 2-hour meeting... and we are so ready to go to work.
So when is your Off-Shoulder Day?

Picture of the Week
Busy at work means eating my dinner on the work station--discreetly. Yes, we are not allowed to eat in front of the computer. Since I need to be on the floor to lead the team with a rumbling tummy, this is what I did. Brown rice with steamed pork roll (embutido) with my cute banana ketchup container. I know it looks gross because they all mixed in together hahaha. But if you haven't eaten anything yet, this will definitely do!

Emptiness
My husband and I usually chat if our time does not meet for a good facetime conversation. We usually have small conversation on what happened during the day etc. The other night, I asked him what he got for dinner. This is what he sent me.

Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”

Flickr is the place to be
I remember how I maintain all my 3 sites before. With complete domain names, weekly updates, paid posts and pictures. When I logged-in today, I was surprised to see all my banners are gone! Being out dated with free image hosting sites, I searched and searched online. Then I stumbled with the flicker site. I know I had an account before and I tried to recover it. Thank you
Flickr! I can access again my photos and I was surprised on how much pictures I had in there and it's
STILL THERE. I love you
Flickr. Now my banners are up!

New Role
I finally updated my profile on UW and started submitting proposals. From all 29 projected clients, I finally got a reply last night. Everything is new to me that's why I'm going through baby steps and I think I'm doing good so far. I am learning and that's important. Anyway, the job is about writing articles and I was a little nervous when I number of articles to be submitted every week. Since this is my starting point, I took the challenge head on. I submitted my resume and signed contract. Now, I think to carry a pen and a pad wherever I go.
I also got one declined proposal due to lack of experience, but that will not stop me from pushing myself forward until I get the title that I'm aiming for.
For now, I'm digesting and savoring my new title--Content Writer. Wish me luck!

Additional Online Task
Today I updated my Upwork profile, work experiences and started submitting proposals. I hoping to bag additional work load so I can earn extra. I've the Virtual Careers by JH and I was inspired to try it out. I have a laptop, fast internet and blog writing experience so it's worth the shot. Honestly, I am knew to this kind of work and I am still trying to familiarized myself on the How-to's, Do's and Don'ts. I know I have a lot to learn in this new field and hopefully I also be a work-from-home-mothers who are featured in the book. Let's see how this goes.

Baby LJ #2
Baby LJ #2 is 19 months. How time flies. It's sad that I was not able to document her here on the blog so I'll have something to look back to. And now I'm back and trying to blog again and less social media. Well let's see how it goes...

AUGUST
Month of August feels like rain. When I check old posts from my social media account, it's all typhoon and school suspension. I hope this year we'll get not so many typhoon. But I would appreciate a little drizzle every and then though. And in a couple of weeks, it's gonna be the start of that Filipino long Christmas feel.
