Are TESDA Courses in Cooking or Culinary really good, or outdated?

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 12 Feb 13

I remember my mother enrolled in a local Tesda center here in our place, when I was still in highschool. That's about 15 years ago, and the teachers or trainers were old and cranky. If they have the same type of staff, I doubt if...

Paid to post fake tripadvisor review...urghh

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 12 Feb 13

I have had an account on tripadvisor since 2011, which I use to check on reviews for resorts or places we want to visit. And, I never thought there could be many fake reviews. I have always counted much on reviews and feedback of...

A new nanny is in, and up for observation, and I hope she'll last this time

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 8 Feb 13

After about a month, we managed to find another candidate for the nanny job. She's a 21 year old lady, single and no experience as nanny, but has been a househelper for my in-laws' neighbor and family friend. She had good feedback...

Food Business right at the Garage -- Opening Soon!

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 8 Feb 13

I've decided, I don't want to go back working in the office, and would rather work online if there is a good job available. At the same time, we've thought of opening a mini-restaurant at a good location which is targeted to Class...

He strikes again...and, I'm really pissed with the word "family", now.

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 8 Feb 13

For those who've read my previous posts about this guy who's supposed to be my brother, well, he's not changed at all, and is even getting worse. So, the last issue was about him getting involved with an older woman who is sort of...

So envious of Cheska Garcia's new house featured in KrisTV earlier

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 31 Jan 13

Oh my, the house was really a cozy and comfortable home to live. How I wish we could have something close to that. Well, it's not impossible, but we have to save up a lot. The house wasn't that big as a mansion, but the interior...

I previously posted about having my first interview at Odesk for a VA job, and I did get it. I've even signed a contract for 6 months with the employer who was so nice and professional. However, the nanny who was supposed to...

What do I need to prepare for the golden years?

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 31 Jan 13

It just struck me earlier today, when I saw an ad of two old people happily retiring in their well invested homes. Am I ready to grow old? I am not much into food supplements, vitamins and other pills claiming to boost health...

We didn't celebrate Sinulog festival like others did, and I think we got cursed.

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 26 Jan 13

For how many years now, we haven't really been joining the rest of the town in celebrating the Sinulog Festival. It's because, we have small kids and it's hard to bring them around crowded streets, and even during novena masses at...

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 26 Jan 13

After my daughter's fever subsided on the 2nd day in the hospital, I really expected we would be allowed to go home. They didn't find any problem in all the laboratory tests they did. However, when the doctor checked her and found...

We were in the hospital after about 5 days and 4 nights. My daughter got sick after we went for a beach vacation last Sunday. She was vomiting, and had fever and lost her appetite. She didn't eat much since the morning of Monday,...

How do I get her to play with other kids?

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 18 Jan 13

I feel so sorry for my 4 year old. When we lost her last nanny, we haven't been going out of the house often, so she lost touch with those other kids in the neighborhood. Her nanny would take her out and as the nanny enjoys...

My womanhood-curse strikes again...

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 17 Jan 13

Just this morning when I peed, I felt pain, a burning sensation that lasted for a few seconds, after urine flows. I got UTI again! I really hate bearing this ailment. I've had this since I was a kid, and it would recur, every...

Baby changed sleeping habits overnight

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 14 Jan 13

She used to sleep soundly starting at 6 or 7 in the evening, and would only wake up 2 to 3 times to feed. However, since last week, she just started staying up late. She would still be awake and active until about 9pm. It worries...

SIN tax, is it already in place?

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 14 Jan 13

My husband was surprised that the cigarette price has already gone up. He didn't think the SIN tax law is already in place. If it is, that explains, why a lot of people were buying reams of cigarettes yesterday at the supermarket,...

Is it an insult for men to be asked to babysit?

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 14 Jan 13

My sister and I had a conversation about my brother losing his job and trying to apply at their office for part time work. So, I wondered where he'd get money to pay his bills and rent if he's out of job at the moment. Then, I...

Had my first odesk interview for an interesting VA job

jureathome @jureathome (5361) • Philippines 14 Jan 13

I was so excited about that job post for a lot of reasons. One, the employer is from Singapore, so the working hours would just be the same as in the Philippines. I don't have to be awake at night. Next, the job entails creating...
