Studying and Relearning Everything

These past few days, i have been going through the lessons at Jomar Hilario's Online Mentoring Club again and everytime i do that i learn new things. Things that have been there but i failed to take note of. Other times i know how to do it but then when i am blogging i forget how to do it so i need to go over the lessons again.
Its nice that its available for me on line and that i can just go to the site anytime i want.
On the other hand, on being a Virtual Assistant , i have verified my oDesk and now i am happy to note that i can now look for 20 jobs. I have been looking for a job but then i am not so sure if i can do it knowing that i have a lot of things to do. Next week we have visitors and after that my son's graduation from highschool then we move to a new house. All these are overwhelming and i am afraid that if i accept a job i won't be able to give it my all. Maybe i should start applying when all things have settled down and that would be probably sometime October of this year.

Learnings From the Heart

Everyday is a learning in progress. Everyday there are lots and tons of things that we learn.From a simple way of doing things such as the computer to a more complex thing as stock exchange and money market.

In my quest to be a Virtual Assistant, i have discovered a lot of things.

Using Dropbox to place my file on and is accessible everywhere i go. I can also share it with my friends. In fact, i have been promoting its use that i saw one time that my son was using it already. It is very useful since if ever your files are corrupted, then it is readily available.

I have been using Word,Excel and Powerpoint a lot. In fact among my peers ( you know i belong to the category who are more indulge in shopping and or doing household chores rather than doing things on a computer)they brand me as a techie person ( meaning a person who can do computers). Now this VA work has expanded my life to not only internet browsing but to a more complex one.

I am so happy that i have ventured into this new world. Now i can say i am up to date.

I am so overwhelmed and happy about what i am doing now.Lots of lessons learned and lots of ideas are being sent to me via the Online Mentoring Club of Jomar Hilario. I can't wait to put all my ideas and thought in writing and blogging about it.
I guess i need more time to do it. I know at the moment i have lots of time in my hands but in 3 weeks time my hands will be full of visitors so i better start blogging now and reading all those lessons.

CONFIDENCE

I am still at a lost of whether i should submit my assignment already. It seems there may be something wrong somewhere. I also did some revisions to my powerpoint and my pdf documents. Its good i was able to update them. I have completed my oDesk and have been certified oDesk ready. Imagine i had to print all the pages in the test coverage. Good thing i did that because now i can just flip through the pages when i have questions.
I also tried applying for a job but then i chickened out when i was about to click the "apply job" button.
I guess i need someone to boost my morale on this. Since i feel i have only little knowledge on computers and web designs and all.
I hope one day i can gather all my confidence and do it!

Fifth Assignment- VA

Reading a book!

I wanted to start with assignment No 4 today. But my attention shifted to the book lying near my bed. It a gift i got last week. Imagine it was mailed to me all the way from the Philippines to Indonesia. So i started reading this book

Its How to turn your thoughts into things by Bo Sanchez.
I had to finish the book in one sitting since it was very inspiring and reading through it made me feel so blessed. I listed down some action point that Bo Sanchez suggested. And my list can go on and on and are mostly started with the word TO LOVE!
I Praise and Thank God for this beautiful book and the inspiration it has given me. I also Praise and Thank God for Bo for allowing God to use him to bless other people. May he be richly and abundantly blessed by God in his ministries and his family.

What's next

That's my dilemma now.What powerpoint presentation do i do for the "HOW TO USE it!" I really dont know what's next.

Will it be evernote?


or
Will it be Survey Monkey?



Hopefully i will be able to make up my decision soon.
