Merry Christmas, Everyone!


Merry Christmas to all. WAHM WannaBe wishes you the merriest, warmest and most enjoyable Christmas ever!

My little baby is sick with chickenpox. I noticed the small, red rashes on her skin just this morning. Chickenpox started with me last month, then my Yra had it two weeks after, and now my poor little baby. I checked with Yra's pedia before and asked if her little baby sister could have chickenpox vaccine but the pedia said only babies one year old and above can have this vaccine. A chickenpox on Christmas day, whew! Good thing I have the pedia's home phone number so I was able to consult her even during her day off at the clinic.

The kids and their cousins had their Christmas party and I played Santa to all of them. Oh, how I love to see gratefulness in their eyes for the gifts they received. I had the gifts wrapped on the 23rd and Yra was just too excited she doesn't wait for Christmas Eve to open her gift. I will post the pics of the party later :)

Aside from giving my babies a gift from their wishlist, I also opened Young Saver's accounts for all three of them at one of the biggest Cooperative in the country. I reckon this is much better than putting their money on bank deposit, letting it sleep while inflation eat the measly interest up! Well, the Coop's interest is not that high enough to forget about inflation but at least it's higher than what banks offer. I also want to inculcate in their minds this early the importance of saving. The accounts came with plastic coin banks with kiddie prints. I hope my babies will be more attracted to put in there loose change.

SSS Salary Loan Online Application

I checked my SSS online a while ago to see the total contributions I have paid so far after 12 years as an employed member and 2 years as voluntary member. When I was logged in, I explored a bit until I came to Transactions menu. I was surprised when I saw Salary Loan Application link. I swear it wasn't there the last time I checked. That was a couple of months ago though. I was thinking, is it now possible to apply for salary loan online? That would be great, I said to myself. Not that I planned to take out a loan from SSS now or in the next few days but I thought it's a great step on SSS part to make members do select transactions online. So, out of curiosity, I clicked on the link and the max amount I can loan was shown together with my home address where the check would be sent. There was an option to update my home address. Then towards the bottom was the Submit button. I was thinking, is it REALLY possible to apply for salary loan online? Well, there's only one...

Another Quick Post

I am too slow again to update this blog. Well, I've been very busy but I am loving every bit of it! I'll make this short and hurried post before I'll get busy (again) preparing for my son's 5th birthday party later today. I got myself enrolled in Globe's Flexi plan last week that comes with a Samsung 3G phone and an extension prepaid phone of my choice. I've been a prepaid user ever since so why the switch? I consume so much prepaid load in a month for calling and texting my husband in Surigao, communicating with my brother who manages my internet cafe in Initao, texting my officemates, friends and family so I find it a good idea to switch to postpaid. At least now I don't have to worry to run out of load in the middle of a call, which is handy during emergencies. With Globe postpaid I can also share a load and subscribe to their unlimited texting promos. I went grocery shopping yesterday for my son's birthday and I used my oDesk card to pay for my bill....

Just a Quick Post!

Just want to make a quick post today before I'll bury myself with work. Early this morning, I was surprised to be awaken by my son's soft voice in my ear whispering, "Mommy, mommy, today's your birthday, right?" "Is it?", me asking in my still-groggy state. I was so sleepy I couldn't care much about what he has just said or gonna do. "Yes, and I have something for you." He went away and I was off to dreamy land again. Or so I thought. I felt something soft and cool brushing my nose. I tried to ignore it and forcefully closed my eyes, trying to shut myself off the world. But it won't just go away! So i opened my eyes. Do you know what I see? My son, with a bunch of alugbati leaves in his hands. "Flowers for you", he said. "Mama (his grandma) said it's your birthday today. Can't we go to the sea afterwards? You shouldn't go to work because you're having your birthday." My heart jumped with joy I hugged ...
