This week, Z learned how to buy at the sari-sari store by himself. I want him to learn about money so I am pretty lenient with giving him some coins. So whenever I want something I would just tell him to buy me this and he will go down to our apartment neighbor and a few seconds later come up with the right goods. I am pretty amused and wonder how he interacts with the vendor.
But today, I overheard his playmate telling him, "Z come let us go buy something." Z was busy playing and did not respond. His playmate repeated it two more times with no response from Z each time. Both of them were at our living room so I heard it pretty clearly. Z went outside and his playmate followed but before going out his playmate noticed the coins in the cabinets and proceeded to take it. I asked him what he was doing and he immediately put it back and said he did not do anything. His playmate is only 7 years old and I am disappointed he just took the money. I allow his playmates to come and go inside our house and I trust them not to take anything. To their credit, they have not taken any of his toys that I know of. It is also my fault, I better not leave money lying around just like that even if it is just some coins.

Even though I am a newbie blogger I have always noticed the sign payperpost in the blogs I frequently visit. I am always on the lookout for ways to earn in the net but I just assumed that I was not yet qualified for payperpost since I just started blogging last March. I am a stay at home mom with a toddler almost ready for school so every penny counts in our household. So with nothing else to do one day, and just reading another of my usual blogs I decided to click the PayPerPost logo on the side and try my luck. I was pleasantly surprised when I read the qualifications and that my blog met all of it. My blog just turned two months a couple of days ago and I was quite active with my posting. Early the next morning, I received an email from payperpost that my blog was approved. I was ecstatic! Suddenly my hobby can be the source of additional income. I am planning to enroll Z in a reading program for 3 years old and I would not have to depend on my husband for that. Thank you Payperpost!

We were hesitant to get internet because of the extra cost, but I was bored out of my mind watching tv and stuff. So we finally decided to give it a go and see if I can find something useful to do online. For the first month I surfed and surfed to find home based jobs, I found a job doing encoding work but the pay was very little. Finally I got accepted to do transcription work and the pay is good. The work is not steady, my first week I only got 2 projects and my 2nd week I got 3 projects. But one project is equivalent to a day's work pay in the office and tax free too. So I am very happy with my home based job, I can finally pay my internet bills and help with other expenses.
