Should you go back to school?

May 3, 2013 by VZ · Leave a Comment

In this day and age, the Internet has offered a lot of useful things to people and one of these things is online school or distance learning. It is not hard anymore to go back to school even if you are working full time, you have a busy schedule, or you are a full-time parent. Online school is a great alternative to those who are aspiring to finish college or earn a degree. Distance learning can easily be accessible through the Internet. If you have the Internet access, then, you are good to go. I can say that I prefer online school since I’m a full-time mom. I don’t have to leave the comfort of my home. I don’t have to drive across the town or find a parking spot at the campus. I don’t have to leave my kid at the daycare. Distance learning allows me to study while I’m at home taking care of my family. It is very convenient and always available 24/7. In addition, I can still continue my studies even if I’m out of town or on vacation.

Should you go back to school? Yes, certainly! The only thing that quite challenging is finding the best online school. However, I found this great website, distancelearning.com where you can find many distance learning programs. Distance learning programs allow students the comfort of learning at their own pace and at their own convenience. Students can study their distance learning course in the comfort of their own home. For example, if you want to pursue distance learning MBA, you can easily use their search engine to look up some top rated online schools that offer this course. That website is very easy to use and you can definitely find the answers to your questions. The distancelearning.com is updated every day with the latest information about distance learning degrees, schools, news, and many more to give students, parents, and educators from all across the globe.

A lot to see and play with

May 2, 2013 by VZ · Leave a Comment

We are going to stay here in Oregon for a while. We will be back to Southern California on June. I love it here, anyhow. My toddler is loving it too because there’s a lot to see and play with. He plays at my in-laws’ big backyard. And I get to walk on the trail 5 times a week every morning. I must admit that I miss my husband very much. Once he’s done with his projects, we are going back to California. Here are a few photos of Oregon that I want to share here.

Ways to spice up your marriage

April 26, 2013 by VZ · Leave a Comment

My toddler and I are on vacation at my in-laws here in Oregon. I really miss my husband. He didn’t go with us because he has to go to work and do some important stuff concerning our house. It’s not easy to be far away from my spouse but I think it’s good to experience this sometimes. As the saying  goes, “Absence makes the heart grow fonder”. Being apart from someone that you love makes you love them even more. I must admit that our marriage is boring sometimes but we find ways to spice our relationship up. I know there are possibilities after a few years of marriage life, you would wonder whatever happens to the romance before, but we try to find ways to revive the passion that we have for each other.

Many couples who have been married for years  take their spouses for granted. However, there are many ways to spice up your marriage. I know some couples plan for a holiday to faraway just for the two of them without tagging their kids along.  They plan get away from home for a night or two and stay at sexy hotels in Miami or some romantic places. Plan for a romantic dinner at a classy restaurant.

Things like those I just mentioned can definitely spice up marriage. Don’t take your marriage for granted. Think that relationships may change over time and if the relationship is not nurtured, the intense feelings of your spouse may fade over time.

Our trip to Oregon

April 25, 2013 by VZ · Leave a Comment

I thank God for keeping me and my toddler safe during our trip to Oregon. We arrived here in Portland the other day. The trip was supposed to be 16 hours according to my Garmin GPS but I split the trip into two days. The road trip was exhausting especially if you are driving alone with a toddler. He was very fussy on the first day of our trip. I had to wake up at 3AM to get ready for the long road trip. Then, we left home at quarter to 4AM. I wanted to be on the road that early because I want to avoid the traffic in L.A. The first day took me 14 hours to get to Red Bluff. That was including bathroom breaks, fuel and foods. I had to stop many times because he was very fussy. There were times that we had to take a break for half an hour to 1 hour. I was pretty exhausted because I didn’t sleep well the night before our trip. I think I must have only slept for 2 hours.

So, we stayed overnight at one of the hotels in Red Bluff. It was very windy there but warm. Then, the next morning, we headed to Oregon. We left Red Bluff at 8AM then we arrived at our destination here in Portland at around 5PM. The trip went well though, it was very challenging to drive through those mountains, such as Mt. Shasta, Siskiyou and the cascade mountains. I wasn’t used to driving through mountains. I got nervous when going down the mountain of 6% downgrade. Overall, it was a very nice trip. It was an adventure! It was something that I achieved because I had never driven this far before.
