I’m in a pretty good mood today. I transferred my blog earnings for the last two weeks around $200 from my Paypal account to my Philippine bank account (Metrobank). I did the actual transfer Friday night so not counting the weekends, I was expecting my funds to be credited Thursday or Friday this week. But I was really surprised when I checked late Monday evening that voila! the money is there already! Fast huh? I’ve done similar transfers dozens of times already but this is the fastest it could get. The only complaint I’ve got is that the peso is getting weaker against the dollar (again!!) and since my Metrobank account is in Peso I’d be losing a lot if I withdraw it here in dollars. So I just decided to leave it there and just save it.

Another thing I’m happy about is that yesterday me and Chinks discovered Aero-Kae-Bo workout video and has been trying it out. It’s a combination of Aerobics, Karate and Boxing and has 10-minute and 30 minute workout option. I’ve been doing the 30 min workout for two straight days already and I feel really good being able to sweat. It’s a great cardio exercise and really simple to follow. I’m thinking of alternating it with HipHop Abs workout, another workout video I enjoy very much. We’ll see.. Hmm, hope i could keep up and not be lazy again after a couple of days.

I’ve also been missing some blogging chores since I’ve got tons of projects and lots of article rewrites to do. And on top of that the housechores just keeps piling up. I’m seriously considering hiring a house help but we’ll just wait and see. We’re also halfway through land-filling the back part of our lot. Hi-ace tells me it’ll take

a while before we could even begin construction of the house extension since he prefers to wait till the area is really compressed. He says he wouldn’t want the entire kitchen to be sinking when the time comes and that will be difficult to remedy. Makes sense to me so I guess I had to put off my fantasies about my sparkling kitchen with Kohl fittings and Grohe faucets. Hehe. I do tend to get carried away. I even have the house plan already with a more or less definite floor plan. .

Hubby dumped a lot of e-books on me a couple of days ago. He knows I’m a huge Jonathan Kellerman fan so he got me ebooks for Kellerman novels I haven’t read yet. And it is seriously tempting my ability to stay in focus and do my work. That’s the downside of being a workathome mom, you’ve got to set your time table and stick to it and it does take a lot of willpower to finish tasks and not be overwhelmed. Back to the Kellerman novels, its a bit hard to resist coz his novels would really keep you on the edge and it’s a torture to put it down. He simply makes you want to finish it in one sitting.. But since I’m writing this post, it means I have somehow won the battle, stopped reading for awhile and do some serious work.
