From Relaxed Wahmmy to Freelancing Wahmmy




I started this blog as Relaxed Wahmmy. Prior to setting up and writing on this blog; I have already written about my journey as a freelancer and my life as a mother on my other blogs. Blogging has always been a passion project-- one I do for myself. I expect no monetary return from it, but it still managed to bring me freebies (movie tickets, products, limited edition items). This blog is a blessing.

I have always believed that my writing abilities are God's gift. He taught me how to write to help me travel through life. I have started writing in grade school, continued through high school, college, and to this day. I have won a few contests, contributed to school publications and earned money through my writing skills. Writing case studies and projects of friends helped support costs of studying in college. I also worked as Student Assistant in our University's Public Affairs Office, where I contributed news and feature articles in a newsletter for administrators, professors and office staff. I have written my first romance novel in Tagalog in college, too.

As an adult, writing continued to be a blessing by jumpstarting and becoming the foundation of my freelance career, and becoming a creative outlet/reflection activity I do to express myself and contemplate on things about faith, life, love, relationships and career.

Relaxed Wahmmy started with the purpose of becoming a writing activity that will help me find my calm despite the sometimes chaotic mix of work and family life at home. It is where I have written my thoughts on situations and challenges that have shaken my resolve to keep calm. The blog didn't disappoint; it did serve as a reminder and helped me relax in the many situations where I could have reacted otherwise. Now, the blog has come to a point of goodbye; not because the work is done, but because I need its help elsewhere. I need it to shift my focus to our bread and butter. I need to focus on freelancing.

Freelancing Wahmmy is about happy freelancing and WAHM life combined. It is about parenting, work, homemaking and life in general. It will continue to be a vehicle to self-improvement; a creative outlet and a reflection activity, but most importantly, it is where I'll share my freelance journey, tips, stories, etc. I have been freelancing for 4 years now. It is time to come out of my shell and share. It is time to come out of my shell and learn from other freelancers who surely have unique experiences and stories to share. It is time to take things to the next level. Yes, I intend to grow my freelance career and business. Yes, yes, yes! I intend to grow as a child of God, as a person, a family member, a parent, a partner and a homemaker.

Welcome to Freelancing Wahmmy!

Recipe: Sinigang Na Buto-Buto ng Baka

A few days ago, we went to SM Marilao Hypermarket to buy chicken and cook Tinolang Manok. Everything had been planned for lunch, but when we saw the lot of Buto-Buto ng Baka on sale; we decided to give it a try and cook Sinigang  na Baka.  Sinigang is a favorite in our family (in many Filipino families, actually). My Nanay cooks the best Sinigang na Baboy and Baka. For Sinigang na Baka; she buys from her suki in Meycauayan Market, where she only pays for the beef strips and gets its fat free of charge. Her Sinigang is tasty and sinfully delicious; we're like in Tokyo Tokyo whenever it is our ulam (Unli rice!) My Sinigang na Buto-Buto ng Baka is no match compared to her's, but it turned out very good, too. Buto-Buto is flavorful and is perfect match to my Sinigang's thick sour soup. I'm proud to have cooked it a couple times and to have succeeded each time (which is not always the case, believe me!). Below are the ingredients and recipe for Sinigang na Buto-Bu

OPPO F1s: Valentine’s Dream Date

Before I talk about my Valentine's Dream Date, I'd love to first give you a bit background about who I am and what I do. Who I am can easily be summed up in 4 letters: W-A-H-M. I am a Work-At-Home-Mom doing various freelance writing, admin, social media and design work for clients abroad. I have been in the business for many years. Haven't looked back to my also fun call center life since. I have no regrets about choosing to be home all the time. After all, I am an introvert. I don't really enjoy being in a crowd. They can be overwhelming to me. I also have a 7 year old daughter, and I'm just really thankful I am present in her life and I get to watch her grow up into a happy, beautiful girl each day. I understand this is a privilege not many moms get to enjoy. I love my WAHM  life! I'm going to say this over and over again— I live to be a good mother and homemaker. I believe this is God's purpose for my life. Freelancing helps me achieve this. Working

#CoffeeShopCamping: The Frap Bar, Hotel Lorita

It's not the first time that I tried to work in coffee shops. My 'coffice' search started (and failed) in 2012. There weren't many coffee shops in Bulacan back then, and freelancing was unheard of. It was difficult to find a coffee shop that welcomed remote workers. Fast forward to 2016. Entrepreneur Philippines now features freelancing/freelancers in its articles regularly. Independent contractors come up on Facebook from time to time to share their stories and excitement for the entire world to read. We're no longer unheard of. We're now a community that sparks interest from people looking for jobs or looking into the option of starting a service-based business from home. As for me, that's total of 5 years in freelancing, and just very recently-- in Tuguegarao City. A lot has changed, but the question of whether I will be able to find a coffee shop that will welcome me in their place still stands. Prior to moving to Tuguegarao City, I found
