Hello luvies,

I just wanna share  my Shopee Haul and my experience in buying at their website.  There are a lot of affordable goodies at the site and a lot of seller too.  That's why I am frequently checking their website for a sale or good deals.  They offer free delivery when you reached P500 peso value.  The technique is buy only from 1 seller so they will not charge you for shipping.  P500 value - 1 seller only.  But they will charge half of the shipping fee when you reached P250.  Most items are Cash on Delivery so that is a big plus for me.  I preferred COD most of the time because I feel secure.  Some sellers are bogus and I don't wanna be robbed.. lol.  Some sellers offer money back guarantee.  So don't fret.  The website also has a chatbox which you can interact with the sellers and other you can also rate them and give feedback to them.  SO other people will know their rank.

Here are the things that I bought. 

These is the package.

Korean bag - P150.00

Anti Rape Whistle - P100.00 each.  I bought 2 for me and mom.  It really activates a loud siren I am telling you.  SO it really draws attention in times of need.  It is a battery operated and has a conventional whistle too.  Just in case the battery runs out.

a hanger organizer - P50.00 for my daughter so she will learn to organize her little stuff.

Dress - P280.00.  Hubbyluvs told me I looked like a chocolate siopao when I try this on.  I really need to loose weight.. arhgh

Will I shop again? - Definitely.  You should try it also.  It took them 3 days to process my order

and as what I've said to save on the shipping fee I bought all these items to 1 seller only.  Aside from that I earned shoppe coins.

Do you also shop at shopee? Share your experience.

Hello luvies,

I am so sad this past few days because my daughter is having a bouts of asthma attack again.  Plus she had a fever at 39.5 degree Celsius.  I am in panic mode to give her tepid sponge bath and I kept on putting wet towel on her forehead.  I already gave her paracetamol oral.  She has no appetite.  She just want to drink water.  I am making sure that somehow she is well hydrated at the same time I am feeding her small frequent meal so her acid reflux will not come back.. She is also having her nebulization of salbutamol nebules every 6 hours.  That is the only thing that give her comfort and gave her a good night sleep for a few minutes.

She is so sensitive and she is not in the mood for anything except watching mickey mouse clubhouse for 30minutes then she will go back to sleep.

I hope you'll get better my dear..  I'll promise I will enroll you to swimming school this summer.

Does your daughter/son has asthma too?  What is your home remedy for asthma attack?

Hello luvies,

As I was browsing through my phone I came across a screenshot that I got from Pesosense.  It's a formula that will help us budget our monthly income and how to save money and alot some for other things that may incur in the future.

Here is the formula:
Income - 20% =  Amount to be spent.

List of Items that needed budget:

Emergency fund

Savings

Housebills

Credit Card

Food

Allowance - Hubbs, Mine and child

College Fund

Medical/Dental

Retirement

Recreation

Personal

Vacation

School Tuition Fee + Service

ETC.

My thoughts: For me it's not that realistic because we have a lot of expenses.  And the expenses is sometimes more than r income that's why I always have a negative balance.  But I realize, I have to save not just for the rainy days but for our retirement.  We are not getting any younger and I have to start in anyway I can.  Even a single centavo count.  And through this we won't have to think too much about the future.  I also needed some part time job or sideline to somehow add up to our income.

                 I'll try to start today.  I will give you an update in a months time.  I will cross fingers.  I hope I have something left for the piggy bank.

What about you??  What kind of formula do you have to save?

Hello luvies,

Today me and my daughter joined the Annual Trick or Treat program at Mission Hospital Pasig.  Her costume is rainbow dash.  The little pony.   It is her much awaited event.  Every year she never fails to attend the said event.  She is really excited and she always tell me what costume to buy.

 She really had fun.  She got a lot of candies and gain friends too..  At first she got scared but later on she realized it was just costume.

She joined the games and blend in with other kids.  She went almost everywhere to get her treats even if its scary.

Everybody made a lot of effort in putting up the event for the kids.  It's not easy as a mom.  Nakakapagod din maglakad.haha.

Cost of the gown - P600
Where did I buy it - SM Megamall
Pumpkin Cost - P50
Facepaint - free

These are the recycled decors.  I just took a few.  The Operating room decor.

hello Luvies,

To work or not to work abroad that is the question I am facing right now.  Amidst facing the challenge of low salary, traffic and workload I am entertaining the thought that I might work abroad and grab the opportunity.  Hence, I don't want to be confined in the dessert (middle east) for 2 years or more due to the very strict culture like Saudi Arabia.  I am often lurking to WORKABROAD to look for an opportunity.  And I came across Nurse in Micronesia which is offered by Romar Agency in Quezon City,  I immediately submit an application,  few days after I received an sms from them inviting me to visit their office.  I am tempted to try but I am also torn since their salary offer is lesser than in the middle east.

Where is Micronesia? - It's near Palau, Saipan and Guam. and maybe Hawaii..

What I am thinking? -is it worth it?  Can I save and send money here in the Philippines?  Would it be enough for me and my family.  Also It is an open country and the tax is not free..  Oh boy..

Perks - The hospital as what I've google  is not that big.  It is just like any other ordinary hospital here in Manila.  Maybe just like the place I am working.  But the location is superb.  The weather is mostly rainy. (Parang pinas lang.)  And as what I've discovered it is also a tropical paradise with a lots of suns and beautiful beaches.  And the place is so laid back,  Though there are amenities and facilities but not as modern.  And the best part is there is a Filipino store and Filipino Community as well.  So boredom is out of the picture.

Hi Luvies,

Today I discovered One Space. I'ts like upwork. You have to have paypal though before you join the said platform.  All your work will be paid through Paypal.  So don't fret.

I am now exploring on how to earn on these one.  Kailangan rumaket mga te.  magpapasko nah.

Have you tried this?  Feedback please.

Hi luvies,

How are you today?  Have you tried taking Sangobion vitamins?   I started taking Sangobion for a couple of days now and to tell you I don't like the taste.  It tasted like I am taking rust.  It makes me wanna vomit.  Unlike other ferrous sulfate I am taking this is definitely had a nasty taste.  But I think it shows that the iron content of the vitamins is high.  And that's what I need for my iron deficiency because at times I felt so tired and lack of desire on certain things.  And my skin is kinda pale.  SO taking iron supplements is really necessary  especially in my kind of job that requires high stamina due to shifting schedule.

Price: less than 20php

Available: At any drugs store nationwide  

Instruction: 1-2 capsule depending on the doctors recommendation.  I'd prefer taking it with a full stomach to avoid gastric interaction.  I suggest you mix it with a little vitamin C for better absorption.

What I like:  Can be purchase anywhere.  Over the counter.  Easy to swallow and affordable.

What I don't like:  the taste.  It's awful.  I hope they will improve the taste.

Will I repurchase:  I'm not sure.  I might go back to Hemarate FA.

Recommendation:

3/3 Stars.  Because they are claiming it is organic iron.  I don't have constipation or tummy ache.  I am just taking these for a couple of days a week or more and that's it.  I just have to replenish my body with iron to make me healthy and my blood cells as well.  I suggest you talk to your doctor first especially if you have a health condition.  

What about you?  What is your experience?  Please share..

                                                Don't ever doubt your worth.

Hello luvies,

Today me and my daughter joined the annual trick or treat program at Mission Hospital.  She really enjoyed the program, the games and of course the treat.  AT first she was afraid but eventually she realized that its just costume and she always say hi and hello to the kids. 

There are a lot of goodies almost every department participated in the event and everybody is so accommodating.

I am still looking for a place who are hosting trick or treat but mostly they have charges.  Oh well, you have to spend if you wanna join but for a frugalista mom  I might think twice.

What about you? Which event did you join? Did you pay?  Let me know.

Hello luvies,

I know it is a few days more before Christmas but I can't help but write about my list of items that I want to have.  I will be having my part time job as a blogger and I definitely want to have a new gadgets.

1. I want a ASUS Vivobook E12 -

This laptop is an eye candy for me.  This cost a rough estimate of 12,000php.. This is a 11.6inch laptop.  A very lightweight, stylish and good for frugal moms like me. hehe.  As I've said this is a super cheap and affordable laptop  that is suitable for students. young entrepreneur, aspiring blogger.. ehem and people who are always on the go.

2. I want a new celfone as well since my celphone is kinda old I am looking forward to upgrading my new phone with Huawei Mate 9  or a Mate 10. Ewan ko ba.  The picture clarity of this phone and the screen size is the biggest factor for me.  It's like carrying a tablet, a phone and a DSLR at the same time.  I really really want this.

I know.. I know I can't afford all of these.  And even my 13th month pay cannot suffice for all of this that's why for the time being I will just temporarily put this on hold.

Who knows Santa might check my blog and give me this as a gift.  LOL... asa pah..

Patience is the heart of hoping.

Hello luvies,

Traffic... traffic... traffic.. it is all about traffic.  As we all know traffic in your blog site or any other site is equivalent to more money.  More hits more money.

So today I am actually thinking of what to write.  And I am having a hard time figuring out what to write.  I just feel like writing before I go to bed.  Kakaloka ano??  Because in my daily life dealing in a road traffic is a daily ordeal especially here in the Philippines.  But in a world wide web traffic is business.  It will generate you a lot of income and a lot of sponsor as well.  This I think is what they are calling SEO marketing.

SO this is how I manage to get traffic on this blog.

First I link my blogsite to facebook.. Who in the wold doesn't have a facebook account?  So through that your friends will actually visit your blog and hopefully will share it to their wall.

Second, I linked it to twitter.  Even though I am not that active in twitter I somehow learned to automatically post my blog on twitter so all who followed me will be updated.. Easy peasy right?

Third,  I joined forums and other online community so I can hone my skills and knowledge and also I can advertise my blog through my signatures.

And lastly,  I comment on other blogs and website too.. I don't spam.  I just dropped by to their site and say hi..

That's it.  What about you how do you gain your traffic?? 

Hello luvies,

I am very frustrated today.  Paano I am very excited to make a home made pancake mix for my daughter,  I don't have time to go to the grocery and buy the pancake mix and aside from that I am saving so   I googled the recipe but its a major disappointment.  I am not sure if the blogger really shared the true recipe or no.

This is what I followed: 

• 4 cups all purpose flour
• 3 tbs baking powder
• 2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp sugar

To make pancakes:

• 1 cup pancake mix
• 1 egg
• 1 cup milk
• 1 tbsp butter or oil.

I really don't know where did I went wrong.  The batter was soggy and bland.  Hay.

I hope you'll share me your recipe.

Hi luvies,

Good day everyone.  Another lazy afternoon and we are just lounging figuring out what to eat for lunch.  I don't feel like cooking so I told my loveyhubby that we will just order at Chowking.

We order our all time favorite Chowfan with fried siomai that cost 90.00php each,  a large wonton soup for also 90.00php and my request, buchi for only 39.00 php. A total of 309.00php.  And guess what? there is no delivery charge.  So my libre pa talaga ngaun.  Ordering  is  easy peasy and the website is user friendly too.

Have you tried ordering online?  Can you recommend a good site offering a good meal at a very affordable price?  Let me know..
