Mei Blogs

Hi everyone! Buhay pa pala ang blog na ito. Haha! Anyway, we're now in 2020 and a lot has happened. We had twins, and they are now 3. I have been working at home with my small biz, all registered, thank God! Added all our links sa header, but will also put them here in this post. It's now March, just the 3rd month of the year pero andami na nangyari; bush fire, volcano eruptions, earthquakes (which started last year), war, and now this pandemic; the corona virus outbreak. This virus is highly contagious, so most countries are in lockdown/quarantine. And yes, this is just the first quarter of the year. We are praying that this pandemic will soon end. Anyway, here are our Facebook pages. Please like/follow us for more updates. Mei Blogs  - my public blog.  The Medallas  - our kids' public blog, hopefully, we can make a Youtube Channel this year. Makarios Printing Services  - our printing services registered biz Wonderfully Made Custom Creations -  our han...

Okay I admit it. I have a hard time studying since my childhood days. I actually don't study, I practice skimming and scanning and memorizing. But never really studied. How I made it through College is not luck, though. I just find it hard to read learning books... the opposite of reading a Thriller book by Jonathan Kellermann. :) Anyways, since I have no choice but to learn or else I have nowhere to go, I have challenged myself to a 2-hour learning devotion. Reading is totally different from learning. Thus, I have to practice the art of learning and that is understanding and applying what I am reading or studying. I surely hope I can get through this challenge. I want to be BETTER. That should motivate me to learn right? And I want to be paid higher, that sure is a better motivation. LOL! Kidding aside, learning should not be until College or a one time deal. It should continue to evolve as long as you live. Kudos, to all those who continue to learn and to those who continue t...

Yehey! Just got my first week salary. For those Filipinos, who are thinking of working online but being paid through Paypal gives you second thoughts, here I will be assuring you that it is okay and it is easy. As I have told you, I have been hired from Onlinejobs.ph after creating my profile. After which, I signed a contract with my employer and agreed that my salary be sent every week through Paypal . Creating a Paypal account is easy as creating an email address. So I wouldn't be going through the step by step Paypal registration. But if you haven't made a Paypal account yet, make sure the name you use is your full and real name, because it should also be the name reflected on your Bank Account and Credit/Debit Card. After making your Paypal account, you will be prompted to verify your account by adding/linking a credit/debit card, so that you won't have withdrawal limits (unverified accounts have Php500 as withdrawal limit). Oh no! I don't have a credit card or a...

Yeah, I know it's been  a few months after my last entry. But a lot of things happened... Or was I just too lazy to post. Well, anyways, last June I temporarily closed my online shops and pages. Last June, we moved to a new home. And last June I was a plain housewifey. Nonetheless, it was a wonderful hiatus. The kids went to Day Care/Kindergarten and I was acting like a stage mother for a few months and yep until now. But boredom got into me and so are the additional kilos and laziness just sucked the life out of me. Sleep, eat, watch movies and Korean series, take care of the kids, doing household chores: the basics of stay at home moms. Never did I thought it would be too exhausting, not physically but mentally, since most of the time, you're thinking of how to manage cost, what to eat at lunch or dinner or have for breakfast, what to do next, thus; you end up staring at the ceiling for a few minutes... The possibilities of losing your mind are endless. But thanks thee to God...

I never have thought that online shopping, selling and reselling would be so overwhelming and addicting. Well, actually the Internet is too addicting that I haven't got much sleep for the past 3 days.    Here's what I have been doing for the past days. Shopping: I recently bought from Zalora a pair of shoes and is just waiting for the delivery. I'll post my review and pics on my Fashion, Beauty and Fitness blog which is here . Paid my purchase through Paypal, I am so much hoping it was really not charged on my credit card but on my Paypal Account. Also shopped some wholesale items at Multiply . What's great about Multiply is that they have so many shops and it is really quite overwhelming. But what I don't like about the site is that you have to dig very deep since they have a lot of shops. I hope they soon feature verified sellers/shops or top selling shops. Would also like to recommend that they have comments section for each shop, so we can avoid scammers. Se...

I was looking for wholesalers for products for reselling when I stumbled upon Papemelroti . They offer paper, wood and metal products which were quite overwhelming and reminded myself to order just a few for personal consumption. :) I did not pushed through on registering as a reseller since I'm not sure if my Facebook customers will buy and love such items as much as I do. Anyways, just before leaving the website, I clicked on almost every link of the site and thank goodness I found a contest/promo. Haha! They were giving away Papemelroti Laughter packs! And what's good with this is that you just have to follow them on Google+. And the laughter pack is not just a one item pack, it includes the following items: Live Laugh Love Folding Fan Mini Drawer Box with Handwriting Design Dance Jump Sing Bracelet Vintage Laughter Ring Small and Medium Sized Pad Sets Locket Journal Floral Bag Charm Laughter Paper Pack  So much for goodies right? Check out more of this ...

If you're still there doing your home-based stuff or taking care of the family and have some extra time of your own, why not start a blog mommies. Blogging isn't just for writers and elite class or rich people. Blogging is for people who wants to express themselves in their own ways. You can start by choosing a blog site. There are several blog sites available Blogspot , Wordpress , Tumblr  and much more. Of them all, it's quite obvious I chose Blogspot , because it's very user-friendly. I tried Wordpress but I can't do much for a free blog site. Tumblr is way too slow for my Internet connection. Anyways, after creating your blog and posting, you can now start earning. Try Google Ad Sense, Nuffnang  and more. I'm sorry I'm still also trying this stuff. I'll update you when I earn from some sites. So what are you waiting for? Start blogging and earning.

In the past I seldom load on my SMART sim, thus, my number was deactivated. I do not load, because when I do, SMART eats up my load, the next thing you'll know, you don't have a load. Anyways, I'm back to having a SMART number now plus the SUN and GLOBE. I usually load my SUN sim since they have amazing unlimited deals and they don't consume your load, plus they add your remaining call time when you load before expiry. For Globe, I haven't tried loading on my new number, since most of my friends and customers are SUN and SMART subscribers. Anyways here is the latest with SMART which I have tried today, and I'm super happy. I'll give you feedback if I experience something bad about this service. Unlimited text to ALL NETWORKS (Smart, Sun, Globe, TM, Talk & Text) 180 minutes call to SMART, TNT & SUN. To call dial *2477+11 digit number, for ex. *247709202035496  100mb mobile internet browsing To register, send MEGA250 to 2477. (Registration was...

I remember when I was young, we usually join egg hunts during Easter. Why eggs and bunny on Easter? Where did all this started? According to history and some research, thanks to  About.com  and  Wikipedia , it is said that the Easter Bunny previously known as Easter Hare originated from German Lutherans or Romans. They believed that these hares lay eggs on grass and some believed that the Easter Hare acted as judge for children who were bad or good, kind of like Santa Claus. And why eggs? Because Christians believed that eggs are seeds of life, or life starts from eggs. Thus, Easter Egg, Easter Bunny and Easter Sunday, a new life. So how did we spend Easter? The kids, yup, my son and brother, both with same age; and I played outside for the first time with these seeds that burst when soaked in water. What do you call these seeds? I have googled and asked my mother, but we can't find the name for this grass or plant. I just remember this game we also play back then...

I was about to post a fashion-related stuff, but it was an epic fail. Anyways, even though we are not Catholics, we respect the tradition and beliefs of the Lenten Season. We spent Good Friday together (for those who don't know, we (Me, my hubby and xiao jih) are living with my parents, 3 sisters, one brother and 4 dogs, a few died last year and this year) , had some chit chat and binignit . Later we will be watching movies. Well, this is how we usually spend our weekends except the binignit. The remains of the "isang kawang" binignit It is quite disturbing that Holy Week nowadays, is not the same when we were still young, where even staying at home and watching movies will make you feel it's Lenten. A time for repentance and honoring the death of Jesus. But nowadays, people take the long holidays as an opportunity to have a break, go on vacation or staycation (stay at home vacation) as they say. TV stations do not show the usual religious programs or movies, bu...

Woke up quite early today and stumbled upon on a Facebook page, My Child Mean Everything To Me . Brought me to tears scrolling through the pictures they have posted. Indeed, nothing compares to motherhood... from the moment you felt that little bump in your tummy, it was joy, excitement and yes, worry. I remembered that night I knew I was pregnant. I was unprepared, I had a lot of plans (yup, that's me, the great planner!), but... I got pregnant. And it was the most excruciating pain I felt. I have always wanted to be a mother, but not that time. And I did not want my baby to feel that. After a while, and a talk with my mother. I felt better and got more excited each day. I prayed just like any mother would, for complete set of fingers and toes, a whole body, no diseases. Everyday that was my prayer, and every day I waited for that moment my xiao jih will come out. Being a mother is not a choice, it is our fate, our destiny, it is God's choice. Some women don't get to be ...

I have not been improving on my photoshop skills, because I'm not really learning...:(  Hahaha...anyways, here are a few of my creations... :)  OLD & NEW

We're planning, yes, the  A.B.Normal  team on a wedding for our dear friends, Rain & Nelson. Who are actually my ex-crews back in 2008-2010 at Jollibee Panabo Highway. We're hoping they'll approve of what we have in mind for them, a classic movie inspired wedding theme in gold and blush pink. I never expected that gold and pink would be so beautiful together. Below are some inspirations of what we have in mind for them, other pictures are available in our facebook page, which is here - (Rain & Nelson Inspiration) . Can't help but to be excited for this and the prenup photoshoot. Help us pray for this project and for Rain & Nelson that they would have an exceptional wedding at the lowest budget they can ever expect. :)

I was about to sleep when my alllergic rhinitis forced me to stand and drink water (which by the way, i seldom do...yup, drinking water). Anyways, before I stood up I was thinking about the 2 jobs I left at Odesk. It was not the pay that I was thinking, since they are only paying me $1 max per article, but more on the experience. But I have to leave since it made me sit in front of the computer the whole day, so much for resigning and making time for my son. But more than that, I felt I had to stop, because I realized that it was wrong. My first Odesk job was to write 20 sets of poems, which was a good thing for me, since I haven't been writing since. And it made me think and write again creatively. But after that, my next employers made me write reviews for products I didn't use, and a travel article to a country I've never been before. Is this Internet writing? Can we still believe the things that we read here? Even our local and national news are not to be trusted. And...

Halu! I've been terribly busy for the past days, because my fingers have been really full. Yes, fingers, since I was writing articles for 2 employers at Odesk. I would just stop, when I feel like blood is running down my nose (Yes, sunggo!). I've been learning a few techniques on article writing and keywords. I thought it would be really difficult, but I find it easy now, after a few articles. And though, it has been really brain-draining, because I'm not your typical complicated word writer, I found it easy to write with the use of Google and Shift + F7 on Word. :) Anyways, we will be celebrating our 1st Year Anniversary on  the 23rd. And as a Thank you to our dearest and beautiful customers we have a 10-day Anniversary Sale. So, if you want to grab some items, please feel free to visit our FB page, Mei Mei's Closet .
