Help for Habagat and Typhoon Maring Victims

Days after Habagat and Typhoon Maring ravaged the country, people are still sick, homeless and stuck in evacuation centers. They need clothes, sleeping mats, blankets, slippers, socks, food, clean drinking water and medicines. I watch families cramped in evacuation centers and I am deeply saddened. Those babies and children! =(

For those who want to help with donations and relief operations for those affected by Habagat and Typhoon Maring:

DSWD needs volunteers to re-pack relief goods. Please go to National Resource Operations Center (NROC) NAIA Chapel Road, Pasay City. Call 851-2681 or 511-1259.

Call the Red Cross chapter nearest you to find out how you can help.

Drop off your donations in kind at the Sagip Kapamilya Headquarters at 13 Examiner St., West Triangle, Quezon City.

Drop off your donations at LBC branches. They will be turned over to Red Cross.

Air21 accepts donations in all Mail and More branches nationwide and will distribute to areas affected by the flood.

There are many more ways to help, just visit your local parish church and ask what you can do to help. Every little bit will go a long way.

Happy New Year, Happy New Life

Happy New Year! This is my first post for the year, yey me! Today is the first working day of 2013, yet I am still at home, wearing my night clothes tapping on my laptop. Why? Because I have finally done it, I have finally taken the leap from corporate slave to... Work at Home Mom! 

After moaning and ranting about my predicament for years, I have finally done it. Well it doesn't actually happens for two more weeks but I'm already on terminal leave so it's all good. 

On my first day as a WAHM, I am so excited, I woke up early, after being up so late because I couldn't sleep... because I was so excited. Stupid, I know. Anyway, good thing I woke up early because I was able to do my daily devotional reading and journaling plus 30 minutes on my exercise bike. I also got to sit down for breakfast for a change. Did I mention that I was excited about my new life? hehehe...

On my first day though I realize that for my day to be productive, I need to set a routine. I still sometimes have an employee's mentality and think that today is just a no-work day and that I can stay on the the bed all day and it would be ok. If I let this happen, I'd be less of a WAHM and more of a bum.

I need to schedule in time for my daughter, my errands, my blogging, my online work, stuff to do for the business, household chores, time with the hubby and of course me time. I need to focus on being a better mother to my daughter, after all she is the reason I am doing this. Motherhood is the priority.

So my first order of business is to set a routine and manage my time.

Will keep you guys posted.
