My white stuff baby

Like most moms, I’ve had and am still having my fair share of guilt, frustrations and disappointments. But right now, I’m thinking that I’m having more than my fair share. I’ve been having a very difficult time feeding my toddler. She’s almost 2 years old but still needs to learn to eat more solid food. I actually feel quite guilty about it, having had to start her with Gerber at 6 months despite other parents’ advice that most Gerber babies become picky eaters. And I found that out for myself a bit too late. After her first spoonful of Gerber Squash, she wouldn’t take anything else. Later on, I just felt lucky that she also liked Gerber carrots but that was about it. Those two seem like they’re all she’ll ever eat.
After her first year, she eventually began tasting rice and cereals but did not like them as much as she loved Gerber. We decided to introduce several options by taking her out to try different restaurants. And alas we found out that she adores pasta and that she particularly loves carbonara, alfredo or any white pasta sauce. Among her faves, Sbarro baked Ziti topped her list. Well, she actually likes the Sbarro menu specifically their White Pizza, both the white and Chicago deep white. Needless to say, my daughter is now a major fan of white food.
You might be wondering what she eats at home. Well, for most part she asks (and I mean asks) for “Egg”. Potatoes are also a staple for her but her appetite at home is not as good as when we dine out at her choice restaurants which serve her favourite white stuffs.
It is difficult for us and I really don’t have clue on how to change her taste buds now. Problems is, dining out is really quite costly and my budget is taking the toll for it. Besides, my husband and I would really love to try other places that don’t serve pasta or pizza. I mean, were just sick and tired of it. But my baby doesn’t seem to notice. She has the same kind of appetite every single time she sees white on her plate. I’m looking forward to her 2nd birthday because we’d soon see her doctor. This issue would surely top my “ask the doctor” list this time.

My metrobank was hacked and my reserve claim was denied!

I could not believe my eyes! My request for dispute has been denied! To make the long story short, about a month ago, my metrobank account was hacked, I have been a victim of a phising scam yes but one that was brought about by a text coming from Metrobank's official SMS number. This was the same number that texts me for updates and posted about my transactions and OTPs! I would have no reason not to trust it because the sms came from their official system. Assuming this, I calmly requested for reversal and waited patiently for the decision, only to find out that they denied my claim! How can they be so cruel and heartless! But alas they are, they really are. All I can do now is to warn as many people as I can about what happened to me because Metrobank is a callous heartless bank who would not care if your money got stolen from their bank. No to Metrobank! If I were you, leave this bank now. Pull out your money and put it somewhere safe. Beware of of Metrobank!

How knowing SEO changed my career path

It's been more than a year since I took the SEO specialization course from Coursera given by UC Davis Extension program. And boy is it a great pivoting experience so far.  As one who have been in the practice of market research for more than 20 years, venturing into a totally new field is not only nerve-wracking but also defining.  It changed my career path unexpectedly even at age 40.   It was also last year that I have concurrently been assigned as Head of SEO/SEM for the entire conglomerate.  And because of that, I have been able to practice SEO not only with one website but with 12.  One year later, I've seen these websites grow impressions by 1k% and traffic by 500% because of organic and local SEO.  It actually surprised me how powerful SEO really is in achieving traffic goals which will help you eventually grow leads. We now have a steadily increasing number of leads across the 12 brands.  But recently I have been trying to assess if I were...

Balik Probinsya Program: Preparing for the new normal

Vista Land supports the Balik Probinsya program by offering several affordable house and lot packages in hundreds of locations nationwide. The government recently extended the ECQ in Metro Manila and critical areas of the country to May 15, 2020.  While the rest of the world continue to battle the dreaded virus, PH has more worries ahead.  the economy is on the brink of collapsing and people's lives are also on hold because of fear and  uncertainty.  The different Department of the government each has its own contribution to the Task Force that is helping each other to solve the crisis.  But left out in the picture at least for now are the economists that would like to push for more detailed plans on how to revive the economy after the COVID crisis. DOH on the other hand is still on the limelight sharing it with the DSWD in making sure that the spread is controlled and that people would have food on their plates everyday. Short term stops are on its way ...
