Goldwyn finally left our Davao home 7AM this morning and flew to Makati to work for Proctor&Gamble.  I’m just not sure what exactly his job would be but I heard he’s supervising a system covering the entire P&G Asia.  I bet my bro can’t be blogging until he’s settled there so I’m letting the world know on his behalf His Canadian boss called him up earlier and told him to secure his passport because there will certainly be traveling opportunities for Ngotie.  I bet he’s so excited.  He was all packed up and ready to fly a couple of weeks ago.  I’m happy for him and with all my heart hoping he’ll make it there, far and wide.

I’m just concerned about my mom and dad who are left in the silent home.  Their youngest child finally stepped out of the doorstep and into the wild.  I know they are both feeling empty right now.  My mom texted me this morning saying that my dad wept.  And I know without her telling me that she did, too.

Sure they had 6 other kids who left the home before.  And even though they felt this separation for the 7th time now, I believe every experience is different than the other.  Hurting them more each time because the nest is silent than ever just when they are aging and needed company.

Mom and Dad have nothing but pictures and memories of laughters, pillow fights (or dospordos fights), first come-first served dinner time, pansit-sugba-kinilaw nights and no-work-no-eat household chores Sundays.  I’m sure my sibs know what I’m talking about.  The gloom my Mom and Dad maybe feeling at this moment is the sweet kind, one that brings tears of joy and of gratitude - all wrapped in an overwhelming sadness with how quickly time could fly by and knowing that things will never be the way it was before.

I’ve been trying over and over again to run the Wordpress Theme Generator and create my own theme. But for lack of luck, it just wouldn’t. It says my computer lacks a component. I believe I need to upgrade something in my hardware. Argh! Until I get it running, pardon me for switching from my old themes again and again. This K2 theme was the first one I ever tweaked some two years back. The header toggle is still working perfectly… (Geez, I wonder where could the side bar be??) Brings fond memories when I was yet learning basic HTML, photoshop, CSS and other stuff related to making the blog look decent. Up until now, I haven’t moved out of basic to advanced ahahaha.. blame it on all the more exciting things that happened to me over the last couple of years… my job, my new domestic engineering career, and my babyloo.

sort of…

Kai, (my younger sister by choice) finally decided to go back home after more than a month of staying. She helped around the house, cooked, washed dishes, looked after the baby, and even did a big bit of my job for me. She was pretty much my extra hand during the trying times. Being a busy wife/mother/career woman confined in the corners of our yellow green house, I couldn’t have made it through summer without her. Thanks my dear BingKai. And thanks to your mom who let me borrow you for quite a while

I woke up in the middle of the night wondering what would happen if the SEO Industry dies. With me and my hub both involved in SEO projects, where would we get money to feed our family then? Will I be able to get another job when I go beyond the calendar? My thoughts wanted to jump out of my head and run like a freak.

I looked to my right and I saw my little girl sleeping like an angel. I glanced to my left and heard my husband… softly snoring. They’re both deep in the dreamland and there I was trying to sleep but can’t all because I didn’t want SEO to die yet… not this time because other than the fact that I love my job, I haven’t saved enough for the future yet.

“Do you think Google’s gonna die with SEO too?” I asked my hub that morning after telling him why I didn’t get much sleep.

He looked at me and his glance seemed to say, why would I even think of such impossibility. “No, that’s not likely to happen.”

“But..” I tried to argue.

He pressed, “The Internet world is expanding at the rate of 3 domains per second. There’s no way SEO Industry is closing”

Gosh, that’s like population growth, I reckon. So I thought, I might as well update my blogs and keep things going. I just did. Now.

If you scroll down below, you’d read about our plan… er, it’s a goal actually, of getting our own place. We were excited and were really hoping to get that big yellow house, until we found out how much it costs and how much space there is inside. It’s freaking 18 thousand! It has 6 bedrooms, 4 baths, a lounge and utility rooms for a luxurious living. I’d still say it’s a great place and the PhP18,000.00 is not entirely a bad offer. But, but, but… who’s gonna live there would determine if it’s going to be worth it. It’s just going to be me, my husband and the little tyke due to come out soon. We figured we don’t need a luxurious space now that we are yet starting. In other words, the yellow house is scratched off the list of prospects. I’m pretty sure there’s a place fit for our budget and simple lifestyle somewhere.

We’d rather save every bit of money that we can to invest in another business in the future. My husband, along with his friends are running their own company. I don’t get myself involved in whatever decisions they make. I keep my voice down and let him manage on his own. I’m just right behind as a wife. But that’s beside the point here though. What I want to say is I intend to manage my own business in the near future. Something that I could call “mine”. Plans like this, start up resources always come in mind. I check out Small Business Loan websites and agencies for options on having a capital to start it up with. Every cent tossed to my savings bank could go a long way, I know. And when it’s paired with excellent Small Business Loans services and systematic management skills, who knows where the planned biz could take me. I could even afford to build a house much better than that yellow one *dreamy-dreamy*. But it could be a reality! With an aid of a loan broker offering unsecured loan programs for eager persons like me, financial success could happen.
