Last week – Jul 24, I officially launched my FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY PROMO. I want to thank all those people who sent me their entries & others who are still thinking of their concept for their picture entry. Some where really nice to drop by & left a warm message.

So far I haven’t receive any questions regarding the promo rules & guidelines. Although I once received an email asking about the logistics if they already have blog site & doesn’t have any plans to create one more site. Although she’s very much interested to join the contest & asked me if I’m going to pay her current site or if I have a separate hosting company.

Well, like what I’ve said the prizes in (more…)

Here’s the complete list of Emirates Airline Global Assessment & Open Days. Good luck to all aspiring cabin crew. Posts under the 5^th category of this blog might be a great help on such application.

Below information is from EmiratesCareer.com. Countries are arranged alphabetically; (more…)

I spend a lot of time in my laptop lately, not just because of my blogging business but also completing our baby stuffs. I’m due to give birth to a baby boy on Sept 24. Since last month we’ve been buying stuffs on stores & mostly were thru online.

Online shopping helped me a lot to find specific things we need & also I was able to check the prices on different sites. I know, depending too much on online transactions is not really that much comfortable since you’re giving away some of your important information. Until lately I learned about the EBillMe system.

Fetal Development

By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You’re gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, the baby will gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. The baby now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair. The skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.

The baby is actually back to a curled-up position. Mothers are likely feeling tapping and squirming instead of your baby’s signature rocking and rolling. That’s because, while comfy, the baby is a bit tight for exercise space right (more…)

This weekend was extremely busy schedule for me. Saturday & Sunday are supposedly filled with family activities & household chores, but this weekend doesn’t only involve on those family stuffs. If you noticed I just recently launched my FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY PROMO & thank God that I’m receiving a lot of replies. Although others were still thinking of concepts on their picture message but I already received some that were really good.

This weekend was also my schedule of buying some things I need for next month’s Diaper Bash for my new baby. Since I don’t have much girl friends here yet, we decided to have Diaper Bash, which we find not that much “girly-girly” event & my husband guy friends/colleagues can be invited. (more…)

On August 24, I’ll be celebrating m first year anniversary in blogging. Like most bloggers did, I started under free hosted of Wordpress. Annie-TheJourney was just an experimental site for me. I got motivated to try this new hobby after seeing successful bloggers featured in Phils’ Special News Report.

It’s just this January that I moved into a self-hosted site & venture in monetizing it. I immediately experienced dollars coming in, in my paypal account. From then on, I treated blogging as job now. Yes, I am one of those WAHM – work at home mothers! (more…)

Getting popular nowadays – WAHM (Work At Home Mama). It simply shows that most of the bloggers are home-based mothers who were trying to do some other things instead of the usual diaper change or family meal preparation. It was initially treated as a hobby but now a lot of mothers are earning serious figures from this great online opportunity. That’s what happened to me. I’m about to celebrate my first year anniversary in blogging & it truly gave me a different side of the internet world.

But you know, being a WAHM is not that easy too. Mothers like me are trying to balance our daily schedule. (more…)

Recently my hubby notices some problems in our house. He told me that the house shows problems now & it simply denotes that it’s not advisable to stay longer here.

Good thing that we didn’t purchase this one, or any in this subdivision. We were so tempted to purchase a house here because we adore the play & its community center. Then three or 4 months ago, we heard that its builder declared bankruptcy & all the home owners are dealing with their problem in house insurance. (more…)

I’m not really an expert make-up artist. Although its one of my favorite things & until now that I’m married I would say that its one of the list that falls in the category “Must Always Have”.

I once received an email on how make-up should look like during Emirates selection day. So, I tried to retrieve my old picture files in this laptop. Thank God I found what I’m looking for.

During MGA’s selection day for Emirates, another good friend wanted to experience on how this kind of application goes. She trusted my small skills in make-up application to complete her self-presentation on the said application. (more…)

I’m on my 31^st week pregnancy period now & things are getting pretty tough. Well, I can really feel the difference of carrying a baby boy instead of girl. There are things that I experienced earlier as compared to my pregnancy with Yoanna.

Sleepless nights? Oh my it’s now my regular thing.

Last weekend, we’re so tempted to prepare my hospital bag & baby stuffs because I felt some contractions & some breathing problem. Although my doctor told me that’s its just normal during this stage, still my hubby & I we’re uncomfortable with it. Well, especially me!

31 weeks development will explain further about this early contraction, & for sure some first time mothers out there are getting confused as well. (more…)
