DS’s Kinder-1 Educational Field Trip Part 2: Fort Santiago

It has been a month since I did the first part of my DS’s Educational Field Trip  post. Thank Goodness that there were pictures to get hold of those precious memories during the activity.

Our second stop: FORT SANTIAGO

Located at Intramuros, Manila.

We were able to reach the place just in time for Lunch. I thought we’d pass by to a food chain where we could buy some food but I was wrong. So I decided to just had our Lunch at a restaurant inside the Fort Santiago.

The design of the place is that of an old historical look!

Going back down the memory lane of our country’s history is one enjoyable moment worthy to share with our kids. We’re hoping to go back again next time with the whole family as we never really got the chance to explore everything what’s inside due to time constraint. I guess I am the one who enjoyed it the most instead of DS.

Sweet Mangoes

P2280781

Yey! our Indian Mango Tree had finally bore its fruits one again. DH’s friend went up the tree to pick up lots of raw green mangoes. Since I am not really so into “Manggang Hilaw” DH kept the green mangoes into a container and waited a few more days to have it ripen first. After three days… We had more than enough of these yummy sweet mangoes! Now, we are waiting for the the other green mangoes  left in the tree to grow a little more and then we’ll pick it up and have it ripen again. Maybe by April, we’ll enjoy eating them once again.

Building Your Website

I have previously posted my experience on how I came up to start a blog. Starting a blog is very easy as you get to find inspirations from fellow bloggers and many things like experiences that you want to share, things that catches up your attention, bits and tidbits of information that your readers might get something informational or educational. After all things have been set-up and you have already gotten up a series of posts and then you suddenly ask a question, “what’s next?”

Now you got to know how to build a website and strengthen its position. After getting the services of dome free blogging platform, you may want to get up to the next level by finding a reliable host provider for your blog. This would open other great opportunity for your blog to become more stable and venture into a more wider range of other activities like monetization and online marketing in the future.

You may also look into beautifying you blog by getting a nice layout or design. Don’t be afraid to do some trial and error until you find a satisfying result that would give your blog the design that would really actually fit the overall theme of your blog. The design is important because this will be the very first thing that readers get to noticed.

Unique and quality content comes next, readers will come back if they find your blog enjoyable, educational and informative to read. Blog away and enjoy the experience, just never to forget to find other things that you think can be of help to strengthen you blog and gain its own space into the worldwide web.

For Business Use

A relative is set to open a mini grocery store by this month and we’ve been helping her out to fill all business requirements so that they can go on a full operation by early next month. Good thing I know where to buy a receipt printer needed for their cashiering system. I will be calling and asking a quotation for it by early morning on Monday. We still have to seek application and approval of the said units by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. Hoping to be able to settle on the said requirements soon so that it will gonna be a business as usual for the said grocery soon.

Kids School Updates

Time flies and we’re already on the third month of the year, not to mention that summer has officially kicked in too! The very hot weather was too much to bear with, especially that my work entails going out of the office once in awhile to run for some errands. I just need to buy sun screen protection lotion for my skin.

On the other note, kids will have their final examination by next week. Dear daughter will be having an early school break by March 15 while the little boy will be having their moving up day on March 26. So it will be a hectic week with all the reviewing of lessons by next week. I am rushing a few tasks so I’ll be able to help my daughter in reviewing tomorrow for her exams. I am also happy to note that DS has been able to read a few word already on his own. His handwriting has also improved a lot. We all can’t wait for the school year to be over to relax a bit after a tiring and busy school days. Looking forward to enjoy playing around with the sand and beach with the whole family by April!

DH on Getting Fit

DH has been getting sickly for the past few months. We’ve been convincing him to go for a health check-up to a doctor to finally know what’s the real cause of the sudden drop in his weight. Good thing that he finally gave in and the result is kina positive as he just needs to go on a healthy diet and avoid drinking too much alcohol.

He’s been looking around for a good testosterone boost and I have forwarded to him the myoripped side effects that I did research on the net. Hopefully soon, he’ll be able to get back to his old self of being physically fit and active once again.

Fashion For Young Generation

I don’t know if it goes with the age, but now that I am in my early thirties, I find it weird whenever I see how young teenagers dressed themselves. Most of them dress up inappropriate for their age while other young and reckless teenagers dress up for expression or according to the influence of their peer/group. Their sense of fashion usually goes with what’s in and in trend with what’s latest among their favorite celebrity. So you would often see hip hop, sexy clothes and high heeled shoes for girls in their teens, others still go for the simplest way in their casual attires.

Humongous Pizza

A 36” Big Guys Specialty Pizza that we  had when we went to Kuya I’s place late last month. Everyone were amazed with it! who wouldn’t when you saw a pizza that can almost fill the space of the entire dining table?! Everyone also got a photo souvenir beside it.  We were able to take home a few slices of this yummy treat and had it the next  day for our breakfast! We’ll definitely order again next time!

On Monetizing Your Blog

Blogging has indeed open many gateways of opportunity, be it for personal and business reasons. Being able to express and share some personal side of yourself and gain friends from different parts of the world through blogging is one perks that you get out of it while getting paid out of the things that you love is just another cherry on top of the cake!

I am actually excited when I first learned that one can actually earn through it. A little bit of research and getting views and opinions from fellow blogger, I was able to find Ways on How To Make Money Online.

  • Get paid to write articles/ Post Sponsorship. with some link inclusion pointing to an advertiser’s website. I actually applied to numerous paid to blog sites before and still writing for some of them until now.
  • Google Adsense. You got to have some traffic on your website to generate a good flow of income here.
  • Text Link Ads. This is one of my favorite way of earning easy money as you only have to put it on your side bar and you’ll be getting paid depending on the contract/ agreement  on the amount and how long it will stay live over a period of time on your site.
  • Banner Ads. putting up an ads with image, rate depends on the size and other factors depending upon the agreement w/ the advert.
  • Joining in some blog contest and giveaways. Have some fun to earn an extra $$$ or any material things like gadgets, bags, cosmetics, etc.

These are just some of the most known and effective way to earn from your blogs. You just got to work a little harder on gaining followers and increase readership, Page rank, and other blogging criteria’s and you’re good to go and sure enough to make money flow into your blog.
