It was years back when we first ventured in business. I and Ace started with a US company manufacturing high-end supplements that is really effective because they produce with the highest quality after numerous research conducted by many of their researchers. We signed up for the business because Ace is using one of their products and it really has an effect on him. I also like their anti-oxidant. Compared to other supplements we have tried, the Lifepak and Tegreen are the best so far. Engaging in this business taught me and opened my eyes to the opportunities outside of the rat race. But with this kind of business of direct selling and MLM or the so-called networking, it’s hard to keep it as it will eventually fail unless the products are really good as it will keep the company alive. I have heard of so many companies emerging with the concept of MLM be it consumer products or not. Many have been deceived of the good marketing and compensation plan. In fairness, one can make money out of it at first but without assurance that the company will last. They emerge in the market so fast and also fade from the public eye so fast. Sorry to those who invested and never get back their investment. With Pharmanex, we received products more than what we have invested financially. Up to this moment, the company is still existing with many consistent and loyal users because the products are proven and tested to be effective. It’s not Placebo Effect wherein if you think and believe it is effective, it will be effective to you and when you don’t believe it is effective, it will be of no effect. Anyway, if you are looking for home business opportunity, you may check out EcoQuest Intl. It has a handful of resources that can help you out in your quest for a home business you’re looking for.  

Among my online friends, most of them are Moms. Some are working and some are not. I am so amazed at how they managed to play the role of a mom, a wife, a house manager, a budget specialist, a tutor, a cook, a carpool, etc. Some don’t even have househelp to manage the house chores nor even nanny to look after the kids. Isn’t that too much for a woman’s power? That’s really our role and the super powers emerge just when it’s needed. However, not all women has that passion to attend to their family’s needs. It all depends on the person’s upbringing and priorities.

I can’t just imagine the pressure on us to think that how the kids behave will all reflect to the mom and how the husband looks reflects on the wife’s ability to attend to the better-half’s needs. I remember a former officemate who goes to the office so rugged, wearing an unpressed uniform that turned yellowish after months of using it. Guess what others are saying? They are commenting on how the wife cannot even take care of her husband’s needs. The blame is not on the househelp who does the laundry and pressing but on the wife for not taking care of the hubby’s needs. Same with the kids. Regardless of how they behave, blame it to mom.

The best moms  for me are those who sacrifice their own wants for their kids and husband. That’s why many  are making target market moms more aware of their products as Moms could not just resist something especially for their kids or husband.

I’m back from a trip in hometown. I really miss blogging there ‘coz we don’t have internet connection in my grandparents’ place so I went to the internet cafe to do my pending assignments. But the connection was too slow that it almost took me forever to open a page.

Anyway, on our way home last Thrusday, we pass by a numerous vehicles carrying uniformed MNLF (Moro National Liberation Front members). The first batch were on hold at the Task Force choke point in Sirawan, Toril. There are thousands of them. I couldn’t imagine how the people of Davao will react if they see these uniformed men roaming around the city. From that point up to Makilala (more than an hour drive from Davao), there were still uniformed MNLF waiting for their ride at the road side and numerous vehicles full of MNLF are still heading to Davao City. I am silently hoping that their entry to the city will not cause any harm.

On our way back here last Sunday afternoon, a number of vehicles full of the same uniformed men are heading towards Cotabato City. Thanks God I haven’t heard any alarming news about the MNLF’s entry to the city limits.

Anyway, got to go now. I need some things to attend to and I will be on duty in OHJ at 10AM. I hope I won’t forget to text Ace to call a bank for the requirements in opening a checking account as we are planning to open one.

My Aunt also bought flowers for Mamang and she arranged it herself. I took so many pictures of the flowers, experimenting on the camera’s different settings. Among others, I am now making good in taking portrait pictures as I can now see the difference between portrait and other photos taken using other settings. I like this shot giving emphasis on the Baby’s Breath with Mamang’s headstone on the background.

The three girls (Che2x, Clarence, and MGEL) are also with me here in the net cafe. They were having fun updating their friendster accounts while I keep myself busy completing one task after another. After almost an hour, they all logged out and I was left online. Now they are all waiting for me outside which made me more pressured to finish everything as soon as possible. My seatmates are having chat with somebody in Las Vegas and it so happened I am making some research about the place for my task on Las Vegas travel. Oppsss… I shouldn’t be listening to them so that I can concentrate on what I’m doing. Anyway, I’ll be signing off for the day. Will be back tomorrow evening when we arrive in Davao.
