“fulfillment services” I first heard and encountered these words during the time when I started working as a Virtual Assistant. One of the tasks assigned to me includes checking of emails and it so happened that the emails we received were orders of guitar lessons. Frankly speaking, I was so clueless. I wanted to ask but I preferred to find it out myself until I got to learn the things on my own mostly.

I enjoyed being a Virtual Assistant but the schedule just kills me. And whenever my daughter complains about me always sleeping during the daytime, my mommy heart melts.

Right now, I’m still very much into it but I only do part time. Full time even homebased online jobs are just not for me right now. I’m so glad and proud that one of my clients is

It was sometime around February (2007) when I first saw Ms. Dine’s blog through Kimmy’s blog. But even before that, I was already into blogging though the purpose was only for self-expression and I wasn’t hooked with it, actively updating everyday. After a few exchange of comments, I’ve found myself registering to Pinoy Moms Network. To cut it short, since it’s a  blog network for moms like me, I’ve met a lot of moms online (and offline). Visiting their blogsites became a part of my daily routine. It so happened that some of them were already into paid blogging. At first I was hesitant and my mind says how do they get paid when it’s done over the Internet. I am thinking it was totally unsafe disclosing your bank account (oh well that time I was not aware how PayPal works haha!). Imagine how clueless and dumb I was before. Until one day, someone had really proven that paid blogging really works and that they are paid much, blah blah blah.

Guess what happened next? I found myself buying a domain and had it hosted by a fellow mommy (Amore) who was referred by another fellow mommy (Feng). Did you just follow that? LOL! Submitted my primary blog When Silence Speaks to the suggested paid programs. Few months later, I am already one of those mommies getting paid to blog.

A year later, I managed to get 3 more self-hosted blogs. Two of them are already enrolled and approved into different paid programs like Paying Post.

I resigned from my homebased full time job with On Assist 5 months ago for some reasons. One of them was I couldn’t keep up with my mommy duties anymore. By the time my little one gets up from sleep, I’m so exhausted needing a peaceful sleep. I, concentrated more on blogging instead.

Just a week ago, I received a call from a very familiar number. It was Ms. Dine, our Operations Manager at On Assist. I, then, messaged her back at YM. She asked me if I could lend a hand once more. I agreed but on a contractual basis as I am leaving soon, and I’ll be gone for two months. I don’t think it’s fair and ideal to accept a full time job, then leave them hanging after getting employed.

In short, I took some online tests the other day {sheesh! I need to widen my voc haha! But in fairness my grammar test went well LOL!}, had an interview with the HR and submitted the requirements yesterday. I’m excited to be a part of the team again. In fact, there’s a GA on Saturday and I’m planning to attend to meet the rest of the team members.

By the way, here’s one of the photos that I’ve been meaning to post months ago.
