May 3

is the date that hubby and I are looking forward to because it’s the start of our new project. Whatever compensation we get from this project will be used to pay for our kids’ tuition this school year. We will have a budget to buy their books, school supplies and pair of new uniforms. I hope we’ll get the job right so there will be more offers like this to come.

I received an email from our project coordinator yesterday informing me and hubby about the schedule. She explains that the project will be in four batches and each batch should be completed in 12 to 18 days. We are also responsible for the proofreading of our job. I wish I can tell you the job would be easy. But our officemate said sentences are far easier to translate than terminologies. We will be dealing with a lot of terminologies in this one. Tomorrow she’ll send us the glossaries and the style guide.

I hope I can still find time to write opportunities for my blogs especially about life insurance. One company that offers an opp related to it requires bloggers to include the description “life insurance quotes are cheap” in the post. This is easy. I hope all paid post companies will have easier requirements like them.

Wish us good luck for the new project. It will be a busy week ahead. 🙂

New sideline

Hubby has accepted a new sideline. This is the same project that I’m telling you about in my previous posts. Hubby and I will be working partners so any technical problem that will arise will be handled by him. The project will start two weeks from now. Our lady friend who commissioned us for the job is calling us regularly to give each other updates on how far have we studied the demo program. This is going to be a big project so any possible mistake on our part will make or break our prospect to work with Microsoft for a long time. If we deliver a good job then we are in. The new job will be a big help for our family in terms of income (although I have no idea how much will be our budget for this).

Will I be able to do my online activities once the job started? I hope my absence from the blogging world will only be temporary. I’m sure my research about cigars will have to take a back seat until I’ve adjusted to my working schedule.

Use credit card wisely

Every now and then, hubby would receive letters from credit card companies inviting him to apply for a credit card. These companies usually offer  zero-interest rate, rebates and credit card debt consolidation as marketing strategy to attract more clients. They would even offer easy credit card processing where you can get an activated card within a few days. We already own a credit card and hubby opted to maintain only one credit card account. Our credit card has been very useful to us during emergency situation. I don’t want to sound like encouraging other people to get a credit card, but during urgent situation it will surely help you cope. One thing though, if you own a credit card make sure to use it wisely and don’t use it on impulse.
