Who loves diet?... More accurately, Who LOVES One Meal a Day (OMAD Diet)?

I am a full time housewife for the second time since Abbey and I get married. And because of that and the COVID-19 safety restrictions here Singapore, we didn’t reached our step, movement and exercise goals. So we totally ditched out the idea of exercising even at our balcony for a month. 

Last week of May, I noticed that I am getting fatter and fatter. I felt that walking is already a chore! So I decided to have a one-hour exercise EVERY DAY. But 2 weeks past, no improvement! SH*T! As they say 20% exercise 80% kitchen. I targeted the kitchen then. 

Since I failed on a 7-day waster fasting, I told Abbey that it will be easier for me if we do the One Meal a Day Diet. He approved and to make it more fun, I asked my friends too! Haha! Damay-damay na to! 



Our One Meal A Day (OMAD DIET) have a twist. Instead of 23:1 we will need to be fasted for 24hours and 1 hour eating window. 
*No Rice 
*No Softdrinks 
*No Chips 
For seven (7) days! 

All the days of the week, I felt fine except 3rd day. Maybe that is the time when my body is looking where to get sugars. I felt what I have felt on my 30th hour of water fasting. Chills all over the body, headache and want to vomit. I was about to give-up but I know I will be the GREATEST LOSER if I’ll accept my own defeat. So I still proceed. 4th day, nah! My body coped up and my brain surrendered in persuading me to stop. Ha! 

After the OMAD 7 Day Challenge, I lost 1.5 inch of waistline. My thighs become smaller and I feel lighter now. Feel cleaner inside. 

Oh! While in that 7-Day OMAD, we only got a chance to exercise for 5 days. Jog and some HIIT thingy. 
My hubby and friends are happy for this kind of experience. Actually they are up now for more challenges like this! Yeahbah! A good bonding for all of us. 

As you have heard on the video. Abbey told me that he wants OMAD as our lifestyle now. So I hope, I will achieve the body we are eyeing to! 

Good luck on your OMAD. Watch the video to see our joy, struggles and tips for you.

SeedIn Philippines: Katiwa-tiwala ba?

Ang hirap na magtiwala sa mga binibitawang salita ng mga tao ngayon what more pa kaya na ipagkatiwala ang pinaghirapan mong pera diba? 

Marami-rami akong nasunog na investments. COOP at mga patanim.. Teka., bakit ako lang? Kasi ang asawa kong si Abbey ay conservative investor at medyo napag-iiwanan sa mga investment opportunities.. Actually, okay nga yon, at least ako lang ang sunog ng 6-digits. 

Sa investment, okay naman na masabi na malugi. Kasama talaga yun, pero yung tinuturing mo na kaibigan mo na kausap ng mga pinag-investan mo ang bigla na lang di magre-reply sa mga messages.. Ay di na pala sya pwede mag-reply. haha! (Kim Chiu ikaw ba yan?)�
Anyways, we’re here for SEEDIN PH. 

I first encountered SeedIn on sa Singapore Fintech 2018. Have chatted them and told us that they met NEM Philippines. Second encounter is when Terence of VK5 Solutions invited us on their event last 2019. Still, ayaw ko pa din bitawan ang pera to invest. Haha!

Abbey read SEEDIN PH and SEEDIN SG’s papers and records and finally he decided to invest last December. Sabi ko aantayin ko na muna lumabas ang investment nya, nung nakita ko na binalik ang invested money at may kahit papanong tubo, tsaka ako nag-invest.
Invested Php111,179.68 (bat may butal? yan yung dating tinubo ni hubby, isinama nya) and tumubo ng Php1,686.22 (less the withholding tax) for 2 months.


Then, after ko makita ang pay-out, I asked Abbey na withdraw it papuntang bank account. In just two days nasa account na namin..

Should I trust them again for another investment? Yes. Why?
     1. They scrutinise the papers, collaterals and projects of creditors. 
     2. They have short term projects for investors. Around 2-6 months. 
     3. They have presence not only Philippines but also in here Singapore. 
     4. They deduct and remit the withholding tax for me. Worry free. 

FAQ:
     1. What is the minimum, how long the is duration and how much is the interest - It all depends on the project. 
     2. Do they issue a contract? - Yes. You can download the contract from your dashboard
     3. How risky? - Very risky. That is why they are getting collaterals from the creditors. SeedIn has a set of legal mechanisms and contingency plans in place to mitigate such risks.

Kung di pa din kayo sure (which is normal lang yan) better to dip first your finger.. REGISTER to SEEDIN first and magmasid-masid.. 

If you think, nakatulong ang blog na ito, you can use my husband’s referral code : https://www.seedinph.tech/register?ref=1982 and register as Retail/Qualified Investor. 

Thank you and more investments to come sa ating lahat! May HE bless us all!

Working From Home: The New Normal

As the Singapore Circuit breaker will end on June 1, some of the employees may still be given the opportunity to work from home (well like my husband). But do you know that many companies still prefer to their employees to go to the office every working day even during Circuit Breaker period. 


Reasons why companies can't adopt the NEW NORM: 
     1. Companies are lacking of business continuity plan. Company is not standardised. All information and systems needed to effectively run the business remotely is not present for management nor workers. 

     2. Productivity. The employees were not trusted that they will do their jobs efficiently if the nobody overlooks them. 

I know, there are pros and cons on working from home but many people (based on survey) prefers to continue telecommuting because they find it more productive and they have more time to spend with their family. 

So if you are one of the employees who were advised by their companies to continue working from home, be glad and grateful. It means that your company have an effective infrastructure to support this kind of arrangement and they fully trust that you can deploy and you have established trust to deliver your work efficiently.
