Wanting a Treadmill

Presently, I am on my eight month of pregnancy. As for most pregnant women, walking is already part of the morning routine. Well, I do my morning walk too but not all the time especially when it rains which of course happens almost every other day.

With the rain and the need to walk every day, I was really hoping that I have my own personal treadmill at home. I mean, even after pregnancy, having one can greatly help me and my husband maintain a healthy body by sweating those toxins away.

As for now, all I can do is wish but hopefully when resources are available, I will get one for myself!

The Need of Online Presence

More and more Filipinos are going online every day. Some access the internet from cafés while others from their offices or schools and some from their own homes like me. And I believe that we can’t deny the fact that more Filipinos are getting into future advancements especially in the realm of information technology.

Unfortunately, it is really sad to see that the government and some businesses are not yet adapting to the changing needs of the Filipino consumers. Most government agencies and businesses are still inaccessible online. If you need some government related documents, you still need to physically visit their agencies to process and get it and so as other businesses if you want to buy something from them. Unlike in the US, if you want to buy insurance and needed a quote, you can easily get a term life insurance online quote anytime, anywhere and immediately. You can access almost everything online and no hassle from the very comfort of your own room.

Anyway, there are also some private sectors that are now actively engaging online, Most of these are banks which offer online banking. Some are third party service providers that offers government document processing like getting a certified copy of your birth certificate.

But hopefully, I believe that many will actually embrace these advancements. Many will surely patronize such online services especially people like me who are stay at home but earning online. We prefer to run errands online!

Bad Dream

I had a bad dream last night. I dreamt that I was walking to the bathroom then slipped. Since I am pregnant, I looked at my tummy. Then I saw blood rushing down my legs. I was afraid, so I called my husband. He could not talk because of the blood. He felt dizzy. After that, I woke up. It really scared me!

Anyway, I told my mother about it. She said I should be careful when going to the bathroom. Though there are social security disability insurance in case something bad happens, it is still best to be cautious for the sake of the baby and my well-being. Well, I couldn’t help but agree. I don’t want anything bad happen to my baby and me. It’s really scary!

Encouraging Hubby

When my husband and I got married, both of us were very thin. Then after many years (almost 10 to be exact), we gained considerable weight. I gained few pounds but still slim figured while my husband has a very drastic change in his weight. He is bigger now!

Anyway, I am trying to encourage him to go back with his weight loss plans. Besides, I already bought him two dumbbells with adjustable weights and it’s been a month since he last used it. So, I guess seeing him sweat again before going to sleep would be a great sight!

Excited!!

In a few days, my family and I will be moving to our new place. I am a little bit excited because my dream of having our own small store will finally become a reality. We are planning to sell some food which will be cooked by my mom and I will sell some electronic mobile credits. Unfortunately, I was not able to find my tarpaulin banners. So I have no choice but to create a cardboard display to place outside our small store. Oh well, I guess it doesn’t matter because I believe in due time people will recognize you for selling e-loads. Then they will visit your store always.
