Working as a virtual assistant is not that easy at the start. But when you learn the flow of it, then it can be your never ending career in life. Working as a virtual assistant also has its own advantage and disadvantages. For its advantages, as a virtual assistant, you can be working at the convenience of your home. You have no boss, just clients that you need to deliver your work to. Your working time are flexible. You can choose what time you wanted to work online. And at the same time you don’t need to take the hassle of being caught in a traffic jam, dressing for the office, or being late. 

For its disadvantages, online work from home is not that 100% guaranteed that you’ll have regular work everyday. Sometimes there are works that only last for a month, for a week and the shortest could last only for a day. There are clients that will give you just a one time project then end it after. But if you are hard working, you will never stop applying for new online jobs. 

Another cons of working as a virtual assistant from home is the issue of comfortability. Not always that your house is silent. Most especially if you are a mother, tendency is your kids could be playing at times and noisy. There are also times that visitors would come around. You could not be certain that at all times you will be comfortable working from your home without being disrupted by your immediate relatives. But this could be arranged, you could spare a room in your house as your personal office, where you could do all your works without being interrupted. This way you could concentrate on your work silently.

If you would want to become a virtual assistant, it also takes a lot of effort at the start. You have to find a legitimate work online. You should be aware that there is a lot of spam out there. You could get excited at the very first work you will find online only to find out in the end that it is not genuine. But with hard work and never ending enthusiasm, you will find your pot of gold. Always remember that perseverance will always give you something to reap in the end of the line. Working online or in the real world always requires persistence. Because work is a never ending process as long as you live. 

Just a quick tip from a virtual assistant like me, before joining an online work from home, always read reviews of the program that you are joining in. Reviews will give you a hint if you are in good hands or not. Another tip, check out Odesk, your pot of gold might be there, you just need a little diggin'. Good luck!!!!!

Having a Dog for the First Time

Her name is Cookie and sometimes I also call her Yukkie. I don't know, I just love calling her that way. Yes I am very excited to have a dog for the first time and the kids too are very happy. I am planning to upload her pictures right here in my blog but I haven't had a shot on her yet. But I will on my next post. Here's how I had her......

As I am always having my every two weeks nail spa, I went to my manicurist's house.When I arrived she's having problem with the puppy and her landlady. There, I've known that the landlady never allow pets in her apartment. When she saw me her initial  reaction was to offer the puppy to me, which I refuse instantly. Why? though I love having pet around, unfortunately my husband doesn't like it. He said that it is dangerous to the kids because they might got bitten and his main concern too is the dog poop.

But I took chances, my mind changed and I took the puppy home. I like her fur and her face. She is so cute and naughty. The kids love her too. When my husband arrived home, he saw the new member of the family and at first he refused the dog. But when he had a closer look at the puppy he then also changed his mind. My husband's final word...okay we'll keep it. That's it! Now we have a dog in our house for the very first time.


What I am planning now is buying her a dog house. How about checking on Amazon? Here's what I found. Suncast DH350 Dog HouseSuncast DH350 Dog House I am contemplating on buying this since I have read good product reviews about this product.
I also found this one. Merry Pet MPS002 Wood Room with a View Pet HouseMerry Pet MPS002 Wood Room with a View Pet HouseWhich I think is very cute. I think a dog house is a must for your dog. The dog gets accustom that it has his own place to sleep or just rest. I am imagining how Cookie would look inside the dog house. For sure once I have bought her one, she will love it too.
