Why I am Still Awake

Hohum! It is 1244AM already here! I know I have to sleep but I am still full. I am experiencing some heartburn lately that really hurts, huh! Therefore, I have to stay up even if I have to wake up early. Yes, I am on a morning shift this time! After one-hour maybe and a glass of water, I will call it a day.

Be personal

I always wanted to give away personalized Christmas cards for the coming Holidays. Too early to talk about it? It is already August in a couple of days and ordering gifts and cards for everyone should be started by now. The early bird catches the worm as they say. Of course, there is still the Halloween season wherein to make fun cards together with those trick or treat give aways would really be fun. It can also be a good business, don’t you think so?

Now that everything can be done through the computer, you might think that it is still not that easy especially if you are not a professional. That is where Vista Print could help you. Browse through their site and get started. Take advantage of their Special Sale wherein you could get some free items too! You just have to take care of the shipping and handling, of course!

For companies who will hold events and need promo giveaways like magnets, sticky notes, hats-shirts and the like, Vista Print has all of that! Try to make your own design. You can even put your own picture!

Surely, my dream of giving away a personalized Christmas card will happen this year. That is only because of VistaPrint.

Multitasking

While doing this post, I am washing the clothes, watching TV and trying to take care of my four-year-old son. He is on Kinder but classes are finished so he is home already. Good thing his cousin is around playing with him. Right now, he shouting .That is how he plays with his cousin, shouting hard to his ears so that he can get what he wants. Well, I got some patience to tolerate that. Good thing his Dad is not around or else, he will be spanked to keep quiet.

On top of the game

I see the IT people in our office being highly paid. I sort of envy them sometimes knowing that I could have taken that path also if I wanted too. It is not only the salary that is attractive but also the knowledge that they have about technology. It is now the era of computers, password, programs and the like. Everything is almost automated. All businesses need an IT expert.

Telecommunications and setting up of networks be it big and small are also the main trend in the industry today thus the high demand for information technologists in all levels. The competition is becoming great also amongst the IT graduates because the higher the demand, there are also an influx of enrollees for the IT course. After graduation, what is the demarcating factor between them? There is no board exams for ITs as doctors of medicine or nurses and other professions do. There are certifications, instead. Where to get a trusted one? They can check on Cisco certification. Cisco offers many courses for different levels and depending on the nature of job, one is to apply for. The skills that he might need appropriate for the role that he will be partaking say in the setting up of network and the like.

In everything that we do, we have to stay on top of the game. Be it in IT or in a different field, for us to rise above the rest, we should always keep our best foot forward. How to achieve that? Be good and continue to achieve to become the best. For ITs, let Cisco help you with that.

How do you manage petty quarrels?

I am praying for patience everyday. With all the pressures inside the household and in the office, patience is really needed. I admire all those who keep their cool, every time. In our house, we always have petty quarrels. Sometimes, I get into it and eventually make it big, And then I thought, oh, the matter is too small to be given time and attention. I should have shrugged my shoulders off and did not mind it at all. What if those fights become frequent? If you add one plus one, it becomes two and so on and so forth. You might just wake up one day that there is already a very big dark cloud inside your home. Keep mum about it? Stay quiet? Accept it? Everyday is a continuous struggle thru life. I hope I will make it.

Artifact?

My husband strikes again! Did he hurt my feeling or not? Well, he was looking for our picture frames so that he could put it on the wall. I pointed to the very big frame with somewhat a portrait of mine. He said that it is not a picture but an artifact already. Well, I was still young in that picture and…slim! I just laughed it off. He added that I should be singing Regine Velasquez’s hit “ Kung Maibabalik Ko Lang”…it means if I could only bring back… I said, why not? I can still lose the weight. :-)
