Just thinking about trying to bet on online sports

For these past few days, I was thinking of ways on how I am going to have enough money to support my family needs. I am so desperate to be a full time mom or just a stay-at-home-mom so I can supervise my daughter as she is growing so fast. Just letting her nanny take care of all her needs gave me a lot of frustration in life. Everything seems to be below my standards.

There were times that I became so hopeless. And that were also the time that gambling came into my mind. Hoping that through gambling I may find my luck and have enough money to provide all the things that we need for our living. I tried betting on lottery but luck is not yet in me. Now I am thinking of trying on an online sports betting. I know that placing a bet on sports is also risky because betting world is full of uncertainties plus the fact that I am not a sport minded person. But who knows, it may be my time to shine now and luck might be on my side now.

And I know that nowadays, there are a lot of games to choice from for an online betting like the football, basketball, baseball and other popular sports. Aside from that, there are also an online gambling guide with all those useful money tips and suggestions to help me learn the basics of gambling.

Now, what can you suggest guys? Will I try my luck on football or basketball online sports betting or not?

Me on a rainy Tuesday morning!

• It’s so cold and staying in my bed is one of my wish for the day. But that’s impossible because I badly needed to report to work today. Somebody needs to get the money from me at 9am for their official travel.

• I am hungry! But I still don’t know what I want to eat for breakfast.

• I am somehow guilty. Because if it concerns my daughter I really can’t control myself. No matter how sensitive you are, I really need to speak out to correct what is wrong.

A rainy Tuesday morning everyone. Be safe guys…

in bullet!

 Hey, guys its Friday once again. And I am so looking forward for the weekend. Nothing unusually to happen but I just want to stay home and sleep all day long.

 I’m still not over with my “paglilihi” yet and I’m getting tired of this feeling.

 I loss few pounds already because I really can’t eat or even drink enough water.

 KA is excited to see her little brother/sister na. Di ko lang alam kung gaano sya magseselos kapag nakita na talaga nyang lumabas.

 KA also takes care of me when I said I am not feeling well. Sometimes she just gave me water to drink even without asking her to do so, para lang daw hindi na ako mahilo. Kakatouch!

About KA’s schooling, so far, lagi pa naman syang excited to go to school and always willing to do her homework every night before we go to bed.

 With regards to my parents, as per my brother’s update eh okey naman daw sila. Unti-unti ng nakakabawi ng lakas. And I thanks God for that!

 On the other side, July 4, marked the day that I was able to go inside (for the first time) the Malacanang Palace, Manila, in Rizal Hall in particular.

 That was also the day that one of the breakaway group signed the MOA on closure agreement with the government, and I am so proud to be part of the group that work for its success.

 On the same day, I was able to see Korina Sanchez together with Mar Roxas personally because they were also in Malacanang but on a separate event.

That’s enough guys. Have a happy weekend everyone!
