When I started blogging I never thought that I will be earning something from it but when the cash is flowing, it keeps rolling and I am hoping that it won’t end. It's a sweet journey, but mind you, it never came that easy and I almost wanted to hire some seo consulting services just to jump start it. The only thing that keeps me from holding on is because I cannot afford it and besides I don’t know either if it works. Although many of my friends are telling me that it’s going to help my blog easily be seen here in the Internet.

But before I go on using it in my blog I tried my own research of how helpful seo consulting services really are. And I would say that the Internet has vast information that everyone can take advantage of and all you have to do is find the right resources. While in my quest to boost the visibility of my blog, I do learn a few tidbits though on how to optimize and increase the reputation of my blog in the World Wide Web. And I would say using seo consulting services would help companies who are serious in this kind of business. It surely will push your website up in the ladder.

Most consumers these days are aware of what online shopping journey is and have a general idea of how it works. They know that if they want to shop online, they just need to visit their favorite online shops, browse by category or by price range then purchase the products that they want. Life is great, isn't it? Easy-shopping!

Those who are looking for a particular product at the lowest possible price would have to visit multiple stores just to be able to find the online shop that offers it. They may even have to look for coupon codes or discount codes to be able to avail of additional discounts. But there is a new concept in online shopping where you, as the buyer, can set the price requirements of the products and services that you want and wait for sellers to make an offer. Say what you want at the price that you want for products and services , you can negotiate with sellers privately until you can finalize everything and buy from the seller that can give you the best price possible. Through the website, you don’t have to waste time browsing through different online websites just to find the products and services that you want at the price that you can afford.

Blogging has been a great avenue for me to express my inner thoughts and feelings especially when I don’t have anybody around to listen to my grievances, frustrations, joys, happiness and aspirations. In here, I am in total control. With blogging, I have also the privilege to inspire other people with the articles I write and with the experiences I share.

Hire Freelancers, is a place where employers can go to for possible writing job tasks journey. In my perspective as a writer, its best feature is the number of projects to choose from that actually offer an attractive amount of compensation for every task completed. If you are a writer like me, all you should do is to click on the Project button then bid for a task that you think you can write about, then wait for its confirmation whether you get the job or not.

And before you realized it, you are already earning for something that you love to do which is writing.

What to bring during travel? Cash or credit card? Guys, for me I’d rather have to bring s small cash and my credit card with me. Having big cash on your pocket is dangerous. There are now lots of thieves around. Credit card is more safer. You can just punch in whenever you need and of course having a very little amount of cash for emergency is advisable.

How about you guys out there, what do you prefer most cash or credit card? Your suggestion is welcome. This will serves as a tip to all travelers and of course to myself too. It is always good to know the con’s and pro’s in traveling. So to ease worries try my tip of not bringing much cash. You can surely have peace in mind. I remember my husband did not bring any cash before when he visited me in Philippines before. As he said it was for his safety. And I do agree with his purpose.

Breaking up is never easy, but it’s even harder when there are kids involved. Whatever the circumstances of your romantic relationship ending, chances are that you will be continuing a relationship of sorts with your ex, as co-parents of your children. And whatever age your kids are, they will also need a certain amount of assistance to adjust to the new situation. So, how best to enter this new phase in your life?


Parenting

Have the discussion about how you will go about co-parenting early on. When will you each see your kids? How will big decisions be made? What notice is required about any change of plans? From the major questions such as schooling to day-to-day management like school lunches, it all needs to be sorted out and, if necessary, formalized. It could help to bring your children into these discussions as well.

Finances

Unless you are in the happy position of being financially self-sufficient, for many, becoming a single mother means your financial status – and security – will likely change. Retirement funds, joint bank accounts, child support, mortgages and car repayments will all figure in these changes. Consult an accountant to find out about any changes to your taxes.

Network

It will be important to have a support network to turn to in times of emergency. Something as simple as having the flu for a few days can be stressful for a single mother, so it’s good to have family and friends you can rely on to do some child-minding if necessary. Making connections with other single mothers will also be important – someone to understand the difficulties you’re facing.

You

Most mums tend to put themselves last, and for a single mother – running a household solo, often juggling school lunches and household decisions with a busy career – it becomes even more difficult to find ‘me-time’. Even something as small as 20 minutes for a bath, catching up with your girlfriends for coffee or reading a book after the kids are in bed will give you the space to focus on you for a little while.

Dating

It might seem like an insurmountable task to re-enter the dating scene with kids in tow. It can be difficult to meet a potential new partner, but sites can help set up introductions with compatible dates and they are a good way to ease yourself into dating again.

Most importantly, you need to think positively about the new direction your life has taken. It may not be the direction you expected, and it can be difficult to reset your expectations. However, it can mean greater independence, the ability to try new things and the freedom to do it your way.

I cannot hide! I cannot deny! I missed my family back home. Even though I have now my very own family which is my first Home but my relatives, parents, sisters and brothers are still my family whom I have to think of. Not totally 100% but sometimes I do really missed them. Other thing I miss in the place where I was born  is that miss the Filipino foods cooked by my parents back home. Comparing life here and there in the Philippines, it has a very big difference but must accept and be happy for where I am now. So, I am trying to be in touch with them from time to time. Just a matter of keeping my mind busy to not missing them much.

Maybe when Sam is about 4 or 5 years old then we can travel and visit them, or live there for good. Sam can already walk that time. That would be more fun and exciting. So have to wait for that time to come. Yay!

Where are you heading now? Are you planning for any vacation?

We need to relax and have time to bond together with family or friends (or both). Good to go and visit other places to unwind! Bring your family with you which sure makes your life more complete in such vacation journey! Am I in drama series now?

Haha! Well, I am just sharing my thoughts of what a kind of journey can be made soon. There are lots of possibilities, you can go to a beach, go to camping or go and visit relatives. It is up to you, check your budget and of course check the availability especially if you and your husband are working. In my case only my hubby is working so it is not hard to plan. I am just waiting for his go signal and all I can say is YES! I want to explore and of course to visit some other places that I’ve never seen and been before. So plan ahead of time and give yourself a break!

I recall when I started to build this site Cacai’s Journey. This supposedly a journey of me and my DH, Cacai and Nad. Okay, I did not expect that this will lead me writing of my journey in life. This was just a matter of hobby and getting fun online with some other friends along and as I said, it was unintended for me alone. Then, an experimental page mold me much in sending information to my readers and followers online. Sorry to say, but I have limitations, of course. I don’t much exposed on what my family and my journey is but most of them has been written here. I am just a simple woman who just really like to share little things and some big things, of my daily journey here.

Now that I have my angel with me then I am not totally free to have time sitting in front of computer. I give much attention to my dear one and of course to our provider which is my hubby dear. Well, I am just thankful that I have this site specifically for my journey in life.

Thank you for being part of this journey. ~hugs&kisses~

One of the most treasures in our journey in life that cannot be steal by someone is our friends.To add, a person with an intrapersonal skill mostly gain more friends. As what we know, no man is an island. It means to say that an individual cannot stay longer without a partner in his/ her life. We have lots of friends but they differ from each other. Some of them are friend in need which they are present if they need your help, some of them are just your friend if you have the wealth or some are just don't have good attitudes which you have in common, which is not good.

A real friend is a person you can call anytime both in sadness and happiness. A friend  that can be trusted. Trust is very important to keep friendship. If a person break the trust of someone it is so very hard to get  back the trust that he/she gave to you. Trust is just like chocolate once it was melted it gets to deform  and even if you will froze it , it never come back on its shape again. The essence of friendship is not the smile and gestures that we give but a feeling when you discover that someone believed in you and willing to trust you.

I grew up in a family that always keep a fruit to eat every day, whatever the fruit can be.  It is a great journey despite of some lacks of wants and even needs. An apple, banana, an orange and alike. We always have a bite or two, because it is really good for our body. If you can remember the saying, "an apple a day can make a doctor away" , well, it is true. In my experience, eating fruits daily gets our body immune to any harmful diseases. For it increases the risk of such illness like for example colds, cough, high fevers and even cancer as well. It also serves as an anti-oxidant to our body that sweep away all the bad things on our stomach, and also gives fiber. Drink milk every day, for it gives an amount of calcium and makes our bones strong as ever. Eating vegetables also is a tip for stressful people, for it can revitalize our cells and make a new one which can produce an outward glow on our skin also. If we are to remember, our moms always tells us to keep eating greens, and others say “eat your broccoli” . And yes, that’s very true, try some now and be stress-free!

Exercise is a way on how to maintain good health. Aside from enjoyment, there are also lots of benefits that you may get from exercising just like exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help maintain weight. With that you don't need to do an extra more job for yourself just to loss weight.

Nowadays there are lots of people suffering from obesity. Obesity means having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight (or just about the same), which means weighing too much. The weight may come from muscle, bone, and fat. Being obese increases your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, arthritis and some cancers.

By means of proper exercise everyday and good sleep, the blood may circulate properly in your body. You must also keep in your mind that exercising can also help reduce the risk of premature death that mostly one of the reasons for today's early death study, and that's because they don’t have time to exercise, Most folks now a days are much addicted to modern technologies to which they don't find time to exercise. Would you be like such people? Nope, you have to exercise to have a healthy body, mind and soul!

Because of the fast changing society which I think that all happened because of modern technology  today. Different kind of social networking site also arises in the steps of the way. And one of the most visited networking site is the Facebook wherein almost all people have been registered to this site regardless with the age. This is the kind of networking site where in you can  easily search the people that are far away from you and you can also do chatting, take a picture, post photos and albums as well as you can post your status that can be share and seen by your friends.

To save money from your salary, you must be frugal and spend money wisely. Another way of making it happen is to make a budget list to all your needs. Put the change into a box or a piggy bank on your desk. It may seem insignificant, but put there all the currencies and the change. Don't break the piggy-bank until you really need it. And if you buy something don’t use credit card better used cash because you’ll be more realistic when it comes about spending when money is in your hand.

If weekend, make your day busy with some funny things in home rather than spend your money in the cinema, shopping to the malls or going out for weekly activities. Saving money can be a challenge. But don’t worry, learn to enjoy it at the end. Organize yourself and try to invest in truly valuable things. Those are some ways to save money from your salary. Oops, you have also put in mind and differentiate what are things to buy which are essential or just wants.

Well, it is your life. It is your style. It is your journey and steps on being stress-free, financial debt-free. But, saving money is a general way. So think before you spend!

One of the most important things that you should keep in mind when buying and selling gold precious metals like gold is that you must make sure that you are conducting business with a legitimate precious metal dealer. Make sure that they are licensed to conduct business in your area. Take the time to learn about the various professional organizations that they belong to; the number of years that they have been in the business as well as any feedback that they have received could be a great indication as to the legitimacy of their business. You should also make sure that you keep a record of all the transactions so that you will have something to refer to for tax purposes or if heaven forbid you find out that you have been mislead or defrauded by a buyer or seller.

Just remember that you will be investing your hard earned money so it is only proper that you know everything you can about your new business venture. The Internet can be a very good source of information. You learn about the basics of buying and selling gold, silver and jewelry through various websites. It would also be to your advantage if you can find a mentor, someone who is willing to guide you in the early stages of your business. That would be then a great journey of your business! Good luck and all the best!

You may already know that my taste-bud has already like eating fresh vegetable salads which is a no-no for me before. I could not content my happiness that very first time I love to eat it. It seems a miracle to me, but it already happen. Whew! Now I am loving it!

Ever since I love vegetable salads, I haven't eaten all my share of exactly the same of what I had before. And you bet, I am so happy about it. Thinking of learning and loving what I can taste and eat just amazes me. My thoughts exactly. Ah, this must be because of my dieting huh! If such, then I must be glad I bump into this journey. Ooh yes, who would not like being a mother? I say such because I gain a lot of weight of having my baby girl and I never regretted even a very little. In fact, I love it much. It's just that, I have to loss weight to which I did and continue doing or maintaining at least. :-) I am just two pounds (2 lbs) away from my pre-pregnancy weight now after having a crash diet to which I lost five-six pounds (5-6 lbs) so not bad, isn't it?

And now, if I don't like eating the pure fresh vegetable salads or the ones that we used to buy in our favorite food chain for such, then I just have to buy the pomegranate dressing, my favorite ever. I now have the buddy for such. Yay! :-)

Have a great day everyone!

I have to admit this is my first time of this name of apple, Pink Lady, is the name. All I know is that Fuji apple is the best. Well, not anymore now since I have seen this new one. And mind you, it taste like the Fuji, there's nothing difference except that what I just ate was in a bag of little ones whereas in Fuji, I know there are big ones. Who knows there are also big of this. This has grown here in USA and the Fuji is I don't know where it grow. All I know it that it taste very much alike. And it is cheaper than Fuji. I got a dollar and fifty cents for a bag of 12-15 pieces I think. Not bad for a first-timer of this variety huh! I was even skeptical of buying it since most fruits in bags seems like it is not as tasty than the ones that are of pieces (not in a bag). But I was wrong and I am so glad I got this as I can now differentiate what's the difference of the two for now. I will have my journey of finding-out if there is bigger ones of this. I want to try it too if there's any difference to Fuji or the little ones. By the way, it is not very little huh, it seems like medium when compared to the big Fuji I saw (or bought. I bought the big Fuji while bought this one too to the thought of  "what if I don't like this" . :-) I don't have a luxury of going back and forth to the store huh! :-)

So this is it, just making my notes of one of my random memorable journey. :-)

Didn't I told you that I am in diet right now? Yes, you bet! Okay, I told you in my other former posts. So I am in fruit diets. Meaning I eat more fruits nowadays and the 30 minutes-1 hour-fruits eating before the typical meal. And to tell you, even if I am not in diet, this mazanos banana variety is my favorite of all the banana family, alright the variety.

By the way, this is my first time that I know how they call it here (or at least in the grocery store or market). As I bought it, I then looked what the name because I know that it is the banana of my favorite. And yeah, it is "mazanos" (or the "tundan" , "tundal" in "Bisaya" birthplace dialect in the Philippines, Camiguin.

And so now I know. I smile left and right because I now know where to get when I ought to get and eat it. And the great catch is, it is very near of our apartment home rented. Yay! Happy me! :-)
