Like any
other mom, I am a multi-tasker.

A very bad
multi-tasker.
multi-tasker.
Why? Because I have a particular aversion to
listing everything down using a pencil and a notebook. Committing everything to memory actually
worked when I was a little younger, but getting older (inamin din!), in addition
to doing so many things all at once, really made me forget things I should buy
on my grocery list (and yes, I am one of those moms who intend to buy a laundry
detergent and end up buying loads of groceries except the detergent) and special
dates like a PTC conference and our wedding anniversary (I kid not! I
remembered it only on the date itself when hubby greeted me. I realized I was looking at a wrong month in
the calendar!).

That was why
I started to put my lists, special dates and conversations related to work on
my phone and iPad. Of course, given the
state of my jumbled memory (my excuse was it is an after-effect of the 3
caesarian sections I had, my children says it is age…), I fear of the day when I
will hit “delete all” instead of the save button (and believe me, it has happened
quite a few times to me in the previous years!).

Did you know

of your conversation and restores them to any device for up to 7 days via its

Here are Three
Reasons Why WeChat Serves As My Memory Extension:

I confessed
about forgetting our wedding anniversary, right? For most people, forgetting an anniversary is
unforgiveable! But I go easy on myself
(tao lang po). This happens, plus thanks
to WeChat, I won’t forget our wedding anniversary and other very important dates ever again.

I told you
about my aversion to writing lists, right?
With WeChat, I can make a grocery list and never overspend anymore. And oh, since I have been trying to improve
my finances this year, I have been listing my expenses every single day. Yes, while waiting for the bagger to bag my
groceries, you can see me tapping on my phone taking note of how much I
purchased. I do this every time I make a
payment. Doing this (plus setting a
limit to what I can spend) every single day is a big help in analyzing my
expenses and stopping my shopaholic tendencies.

About WeChat
I actually
downloaded WeChat months ago because animated emoticons are just so cute, but
WeChat goes beyond WeChat’s popular Sticker Shop. Some of its features include a highly
convenient and reliable QR code scanning and location-based connection services
such as “Hold Together”, “People Nearby”, and “Shake.” Supported on data networks and Wi-Fi, WeChat
makes it easy to connect with friends anywhere, anytime. Users can also choose to communicate and
share photos one-on-one or via “Moments.”

stops in creating new and creative ways for people to connect, communicate and
share. With its innovative mobile social
communication app perfectly designed for smartphone users, WeChat has become
the world’s fastest growing social app with over 100 million registered
accounts internationally.

And your name is also Marie! Hehe. I also enjoy WeChat and glad that they are adjusting to the consumers needs.
That's something I didn't know since I am still new to WeChat. I think this is a good tool not only for moms like you but to anyone who have so many things to deal with our busy days. Thanks for providing us this tip!
I didn't know this until now. I downloaded this social messaging app, and using it since last year because my college friends were into it. The emoticons available in wechat are so funny!
I am not familiar with wechat's feature… I might give it a try. Thank you for sharing!
A very good feature of WeChat that tracks and retrieved your important items when you needed it.
hahahha. I can really relate on your first paragraph. Yes it's really happening most especially when getting old. jejejje. I remember my mom doing same thing like you. But we must thank this apps that can help us remembering things, task, dates and more.
I think this WeChat has the same feature with What's app. Here in NL WeChat is not that popular atleast never heard of it here. What all the people commonly use her is the What's app. If I install What's app in the iPhone I guess I'll be the only one who's using it here lol!
This is really cool for moms,specially the reminding part,sa dami ba naman ng dapat gawin,madalas madami rin ang nakakalimutan. 🙂
Thanks for visiting my food blog. 🙂
I like electronic note taking devices because it means my notes don't get lost or misfiled.
The back up features of WeChat is really helpful and can save the day.
The feature of WeChat which you can retrieved the history of your activities.
I like the idea of backing up my devices because I love re-reading my conversation to my hubby over and over again. I just love remembering what I said many years or months ago
I'm impressed with wechat that they have this kind of feature in their app too.
I need that since my mind is slowly deteriorating na sis hahaha, senior moment baga.
Wow. I haven't heard or used this feature before because I stopped using WeChat. I guess I'll reinstall that app to check this out!
Glad that WeChat has back up features that can really help when you need information.
Didnt know WeChat had that feature 🙂 that is really great!
One of the best features I've seen in an app. 🙂
I haven't downloaded Wechat yet actually, but I'm all convinced of it's uses and how much it has helped you. Thanks for sharing such a helpful experience with Wechat Marie.
You are not alone with the need for memory backups and safety. I think I could use Wechat too.
I used WeChat when I was back home. But here in the Middle East, WhatsApp is the #1 social media communication – aside from FB of course.
I have been reading a lot of good reviews about this app. I don't have that in my phone hehehe.
Need to check if my We Chat is still updated 😀 Never got to use it much since none of my family is using it 😀
hindi ko nagagamit yung apps na yun…maybe hindi uso sa mga kakilala ko yung wechat! hahha.. FB lang alam namin. pero nag-download ako ng wechat..la naman akong ka-chat! hahah
Really needs this for WeChat apps to retrieved the history of your activities.
My teenager is so big on WeChat, but I haven't tried it though. 🙂 I guess it works because he's always on that one. hehehe
I've been hearing about WeChat for a while now and really should check it out. I like having my information ready and saved… This might be a good app to use. TY!
I need to check this out. I am sure I will be aable to use it.
Hi mommy! I havent actually used we chat yet..what I have now is vibe and line..whats the difference among the three and which is more efficient?
