Come Dine In

I was born in 1985, same year when KC Conception was born, but months ahead before me. She got 3 names in her first name and so I thought, my father liked it and did the same and named me May Ann Cherie. Not only that, no matter how he denies it, I really believe he’s one heck of a Sharonian too. Why? Well because he nicknamed me, AC. Now tell me if I figured it out wrong. LOL!

Where the heck did ACmomCee come from? Uhhmmm… well, nowhere really! hahaha!!! I just thought it sounds good and when I try registering with it, it goes through every time – meaning there’s no one using it yet. And if you happen to encounter ACmumCee with the “U”, most likely it’s also ME! =) And so, do you call me ACmomCee? haha!!! It’s actually up to you, but I still prefer to be called AC. It’s already short, but I think many still find it long and opt to calling me Mommy ACE or just ACE, which still fits ACmomCee spelling wise. =)

Now let’s get more personal… ^-^

I am a mom of 1 (currently), named Alyssa, short for May Alyssa Kirstein. I had her when I was 19 (whooa!) and I married my one true love, Daddy Mark almost 4 months before she came out. I was still in college then and so I had to stop to become a full-time mom and wife. After a year, I went back to college and finally attained a degree in Business Management. And because hubby’s been given a chance to work here in London and bring us, right after graduation we joined him.

And now that I’m 24 and finally settled in, I tried to apply for jobs around, but because I have to choose my own time, I know it’s impossible for me to get one. I was a full-time stay-at-home-mom for a year until just last January when a new opportunity knocked on my door and invited me to become a work-at-home-mom. When I had my permament job on oDesk, I decided to get back to blogging since I know that most of my time will be spent online and that I can manage them better now.

I started blogging in 2007, mainly to record my daughter’s milestones. Then I stoppped and decided to get back October 2009 because I wanted to share my recipes to my dear friends who found my foodie pics appetizing. Come February this year, I decided to buy my blogs their own domain names and build them categorically.

Now I’ve got 4 blogs and they are:

• Happy Home Working – My Online Diary – where I share personal happenings in my life as a wife, relative, friend and as a work-at-home diva.
• Come Dine In – My Recipes and Food Stories – where I keep a record of the interesting foods that I prepare for my family. Most are from different recipe sites and cookbooks while others are from my own kitchen doodling. LOL! I also include some foods that we have when we dined out.
• Cheeky Munchkins – My Share on Parenting – where I share my daughter’s activities and myself as a mom. So basically, that blog is about kids and parenting.
• Join My Stroll – Anything – here I write just about anything that’s NOT focused on me, my family and friends. These can be movies, celebrities, things from nature and shop-bought, etc. etc.

I also have an online shop called Little Fashion. I do pre-orders by batch where customers visit the online shops in UK and I quote them per item. Once order-form has been submitted and down-payment paid, I process the orders and they only pay the other 50% when items reached the Philippines which is about 5-6 weeks.

Now I can say that I’m a proud Work-At-Home-Mom, very happy and contented. Life has been so good to me. I have my super sweet and loving hubbydubs and a very smart and pretty daughter which makes us a very loving family. I could be much more happier though, when our dreams and plans like having another baby, our own house and lot, car, enough savings for our kid/s and be able to extend help financially to relatives and other people in need will be granted to us by God in His time.
