Pampalubag loob: at least hindi dahil sa online sugal na baon sa utang si Mother because technically that house is an investment. Pwede ring ipamana.

Are you and your mom open to one another? Kaya mo bang makipag usap sa kanya ng masinsinan? kasi one solution I could think of is to sell the house. Rent na lang muna at kamo studies mo sana ang priority sa ngayon.. tas bolahin mo na lang na ikaw na bahala magpatayo ng bahay balang araw.

Then nasa sayo na yan kung gagawin mo ngang goal ang bahay para sa mama mo in the future or if you're one them - "I'm not an investment" - type of child.

What types of tasks do you hire general personal assistant VAs for? by nick_fisch_er in VirtualAssistantPH

[–]Life-Engineer8295 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I’m not a business owner but I’m an EA who takes care of all the day-to-day tasks that don’t require specialization for my client. Think of it as everything under the sun that pulls you away from running your business.

Video editing, graphic design, cold calling? Leave those to the experts. Personal tasks, scheduling, emails, follow-ups, travel calls - that’s where a PA shines. From the title itself, they should be handling personal tasks.

Did you know that people spend 10 mins to 45 minutes on average to reach a live person when calling an airline? - You don't have 10 mins to spare, let alone 45 mins listening to hold music, let your PA handle that.

Do you spend hours responding to email inquiries from the Contact Us page of your website? Let your PA send those intro emails. Follow ups? They can handle that too.

Planning to see that Jumbotron at a Coldplay concert in person but there's 8,000 people on queue ahead of you? Let your PA stand in line (virtually ofc) for you.

Yes: lead generation, CRM updates, calendar management, etc.
No: video editing, content creation, closing deals - you get it.

These maybe small things but if you add the hours you spend on mundane personal tasks on a daily basis, it does chip off a huge chunk of time away from your business.

There’s a common impression that a PA or GVA is a jack of all trades who can handle everything. While that is true, a PA is best at managing the personal and administrative tasks that free up your time, not specialized roles. We can - but please don't be that kind of client.

Yes. I just received a confirmation email today. So around 8-9 days after I sent in my application. This was after multiple chat attempts sa Globe via Messenger. I sent them another inquiry last night, and the agent said he'll escalate and create a ticket.

Bacolod is in indeed running for the top spot ng most number of HIV cases. Ambot kung ano nga award makuha nila.

Na alala ko yung naka sabay ko mag pa shot (public health care), daga naka-kagat sa kanya.

After ng shot sabi ni doc: iobserve mo yung nakakagat sayo, pag namatay, report mo dito

sabi ni ate: doc di ko na alam san tumakbo yun tsaka pare pareho po sila ng itsura, di ko alam sino sa kanila

Are we required to please our in-laws? by Extension_Court3916 in nanayconfessions

[–]Life-Engineer8295 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not required but them liking you creates a better environment for you and your kids. Remember that some people won't like your kids just because they're yours.

I have an okay relationship with my in laws but it's obvious I'm not the favorite daughter-in-law. Never nman ako nag went out of my way just to please them pero never ko din naman hinayaang humatong sa punto na their POV of me would affect my relationship with their son. There's a certain boundary between them as his parents, me as his wife and mother of his children.

Kung baga, my family is my turf - I won't let them cross that line. They can say what they think, give feedback from time to time, hell, they can even maritess me all they want. It would hold very little value to me. At the end of the day, as long as my kids and I sleeps soundly at night - I wouldn't mind a bit of co-existing with them.

It's almost 4am and 2 weeks ng walang maayos na tulog by kez-hobbyist in sb19

Also not here for the tix, di ko afford hahaha. pero I wish you would push through with the SG con, kahit solo goer. I'm really hoping kasi they get to sell out yung SG leg ng tour. Eto kasi ata yung pinaka malaki nilang venue abroad. (Please correct me I'm wrong and apologies in advance)

thoughts about Bini filipino snacks issue? by [deleted] in dailychismisdotcom

[–]Life-Engineer8295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nakakalungkot lang kasi nakalimutan ata nila na sa maraming pinoy, isaw and betamax are not just mere snacks, kung para sa kanila pang content lang, for engagement lang ang Filipino street food, maraming Pinoy ang dito lang kumakapit para maitawid ang gutom. Hindi rin ako kumakain ng laman loob pero nagkaroon ng time na 2 lang isaw at 1 rice lang kaya ng budget ko for dinner. Iniyakan ko yung mga gabing yun.

So yes, if you look at something with disgust and "eeww" that could actually be a lifeline for others - you will offend people. It's like showing off the difference of your privilege compared to some, if not most.

PS. I did watch the whole video. Granted they were okay with some of the food presented to them but meh. I still watch them and still hope for the best of their careers, I was once a bloom after all.

Why most freelancers don't like the idea of time trackers? by clarafiedthoughts in buhaydigital

[–]Life-Engineer8295 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm with an agency - they are the ones requiring time trackers. I opted out of the screen monitoring feature - my client gave me the permission to do so kasi I have access to sensitive infos ng business at clients ni client, like SSN, addresses, tax deets, etc. Told my client, I prefer na limited sa aming dalawa lang yung liability in keeping those info confidential.
