Life’s Lessons

Felt so accomplished today. Yet, my whole body – especially my back aches. I started to have sore throat last night and woke up a bit feverish. Water therapy is the key so I kept on gulping a lot of water from the time I woke up later this morning.

Though I am not really feeling well, I decided to continue de-cluttering our supposed to be home office that has become a stockroom with the other half of the area occupied by hubby’s work desk. After lunch, hubby and I started to clear the area – moved the single bed to our bedroom, put away the books, and threw the things that we don’t use. More than a couple of hours dealing with the clutter is not a joke but we have to finish it so we both could work.

After skipping our afternoon siesta and merienda (just to make our home office look like really one), we felt accomplished when finally we had our work desks and computers set-up! It really looks like a home office now.

Here’s hubby’s work station. He’s using my old desk and office chair.

and mine…. Still, I am using my niece’ study table.haha. (Tita is so poor, I can’t afford to buy a desk and office chair.LOL).

We need shelves for the books, magazines and other stuffs but it will all be kept in the storage box for the time being that we are still saving for our office furniture upgrade. With this set-up, hope we will be inspired to be more productive.

“Health is wealth,” so the saying goes. In a way it is true because one becomes so limited when physically unwell. Staying healthy and fit, therefore can prove to be an important investment.

Choosing vitamins and medicines can be challenging. It is important that you know where you get your medicines, and that they have a proven track record of having good quality medicines over the years. This is where Walgreens has its advantage over other drug companies.

Weeks ago, I blogged about Ace being considered for a position he applied for. Before he received the contract for his signature, my manager asked if he is interested for a position in our department. Since Ace is not available to take the job anymore, I asked my manager if I can recommend my sister. Fortunately, sister got in after a few weeks of waiting for the assessment interview. Since the department is looking for a few more people to join the team, BIL also submitted his application. Now we’re waiting for the good news from my department manager.

Work-wise, this is a good year for us – with Ace and sister having fulltime work and hopefully BIL will also get the job. Travel-wise, our time won’t be that flexible as before where we can hit the road anytime we want to (as long as I can connect to the internet to work at night) so we won’t be having frequent road trips as before. Maybe we can go on short trips then spend the rest of the day and night working. That would need a reliable mobile internet connection and laptop for each of us. We would need three more laptops or netbooks (assuming that BIL will get a job soon) when we travel especially that we are planning to visit our youngest sister and her family in CDO very soon to see the newest member of the family – baby Sendong. Hopefully we can find the best deal on either acer or toshiba netbooks as their mobile work buddies (I don’t need one because my laptop is still working). Found one online and I am crossing my finger that HE will provide means for us to get those mobile work buddies that we need.

Thanks to HIM for starting our 2012 with a blast!
