working mom on bed rest

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and was ordered by my OB to do complete bed rest. This has happened to me about 3 years ago when I was pregnant with Hannah. But at least I was not confined and sent to the ICU as before. I was just sent home after doc ruled out contractions. Anyway, the reason why I'm put into bed rest was that I have incompetent cervix, meaning I'm already on my way to labor and already 2cm open. It's really very difficult for me to adjust to this state as I really am a very active person. I don't mind walking or working late hours in the office. For some, the order of bedrest seem to be paradise, but for me it sounds like a sentence. I need to stay in this bed 24 a day (expect for bathroom priveledges) for the next 14 days.
It's probably a consolation that at least I have just 2 weeks to go while some are ordered to stay bed rested for months. Well,if this will mean a healthy birth for my dear baby, its ok with me. I love you baby Joana. See you in two weeks!

Cebu Adventure with Hubby

 I had wanted to post this since forever but did not have the time or just did not remember to have the time.  I wanted to just share about this very organized albeit sablay itinerary of mine.  Well what the heck! I consider myself an expert travel planner. Having planned countless office and family local and international trips, I even thought of putting up my own travel agency just to remind me of how good I am in travel planning.  But there are of course trips that will always run into some setbacks and even unforeseen delays and even stops that may altogether throw your plans out the window. This Cebu trip with my dear hubby was probably one of those. But if you ask my husband, this was probably on his toplist of our most unforgettable trips ever. I usually plan out by hour but since there are items in the IT that's not very familiar to me (sardine run etc), I thought to leave out the time and just run with whatever the day brings.   So here how it all ...

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 ...
