What's New with NEW YEAR?

Hello there! I'm Back!!! I missed blogging soooo much! It's been two months! Acer really sucks! How come I have to wait for almost two months before they deliver the speaker and keyboard my laptop needs? Anyway past is past. I already have my laptop and I can blog now! Hooray!!!

So what's new? Aside from knowing that payperpost is no longer that active, what else? What else did I miss? Did I missed new stuff online? I missed shopping online already! I missed digiscrapping and artscow! Is there something new I could be interested with like these personalized duffle bag, insulated lunch tote and the undying laundry bag I've been longing? Oh how can I able to buy those If I don't have much opps right now? What else? How about me? Oh, there's nothing new, just like the old Jes, still Jes. I am still jelous with my husband's office mates, still paranoid even though I've already proven to myself that my hubby is not what my dirty mind is thinking. Poor hubby of mine. I'm sure he's so tired of me already. I'm trying to change, but sometimes I just can't control my immature feelings. Sorry Daddy! I love you! I am trying to fix myself ...I don't wanna lose my husband, I don't wanna lose his LOVE, the only thing that inspires me everyday. Aside from these things, hubby and I have new bonding moment, FACIAL Massage @ Let's Face It! I love it! I love the one hour stay in that room lying and holding hands with my hubby. That is so sweet! We we're suppose to spent our time in the gym also every other night but his schedule is really hectic now that he is with a new project. Hope to have more bonding with hubby. I always wanted to stay beside him but I just realized I have to lie low sometimes. I have to teach myself to let go sometimes. I am also learning to love myself, have a break and enjoy being alone sometimes. I hope that helps. Okay, that's all for now. I really wanted to blog more of my changes tonight but I have to sleep already. I'll be blogging tomorrow again! Night!

Ishi's 4th Birthday @ La Cabecera de Montessori

Ishi celebrated her birthday just this morning in her school. She's very happy and excited! It's just a simple celebration since Montessori is not allowing parties while school time. I just ordered Jollibee foods for the kids and for adults too! I ordered cupcake tower for Ishi and I made some giveways for the classmates they surely enjoyed!I am so happy that kids really appreciate Ishi's giveaway. I am also happy for Ishi, she really enjoyed her special day. What she loved about celebrating birthdays is blowing of candle, I remember her looks when she first experience to celebrate her birthday in school and that was last year. She enjoyed it very much. This time I think she still enjoyed it but not as exciting as before. One thing more she loves is that opening gifts! She love opening gifts! Daddy gave her gift already last Tuesday and she really enjoyed it....and now she's enjoying her classmates gifts to her especially the clay =) All hubby and I wanted for Ishi is happiness! We just like her to see happy ..we want her to enjoy her childhood as much as we can that's why we're doing everything to give all her needs. How I wish we, my husband and I could still do it for our kids until they grow up. Next assignment is my son's birthday on January. But for now I still have to make list first so I could buy christmas gifts for our loveones. I have seen so many choices everywhere like terry bath robe, waffle bath robe and bath wrap. I really love to shop now but I am still waiting for hubby's bonus =). Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISHI!!!!

No Sem Break...No Vacation!

My daughter doesn't have a semester break this year that's because of the Typhoon Ondoy. Since students didn't have their classes for more than a week, most of the schools suspended semester break. I was planning to have a family vacation after my daughter's field trip unfortunately I have to move it also to Summer vacation. This means I have no vacation this month .. oh yeah coz my daughter's exam is on November 4, 5 and 6 so all I'm going to do this all saint's day and all souls day is review my daughter. I suppose to put up my cart somewhere but it seems I'm not gonna make it anymore. Oh well I hope I could have fun sometime even I am very busy with so many things right now. If ever we can't able to go out then it's okay for me if hubby and I will watch movie on his laptop the whole night after Ishi's review. We're always downloading smallville and heroes series but those were not enough for us. I want more movies...good thing there's a rapidshare download for people like us who loves movies and doesn't want to rent in video houses...lols!

My Website is Still Down

I've been wanting to have my own site for very long time but now that we already have one, we can't able to update it yet because hubby and I were so busy with so many things as of now. We purchased it on cash for 2 years package and it's been a month now, our website is still not up. It's not the provider's fault actually, it's ours. We purchased but we are not using it yet so it's still useless! I hope hubby could have some time with it. Me, either is so busy to update it. I have my kids, my husband, my work and myself to take care of. I can't even cut my kids' fingernails, now I feel so guilty coz I managed to go to the parlor and have my hair rebonded while my son's nail is so long now. My bad! Anyways with regards with my site, I really wanted to use it already coz we're wasting money for a month now! Some people were saying it's expensive. butI don't know coz I don't have any idea! My husband is the one who manage all of those. I heard about the yahoo domains too, some friends were saying they were cheaper compare to others but too late coz we already have one!

Hubby's New Cellphone

Hubby got his new phone last night. Hooray! Finally! After four years, he handled his phone very carefully, actually he has no any plan of buying a new one. He's contented with his old cellphone it's just that his old cellphone is already has a problem with signals. He has no signal in MAKATI always. So he decided to look for a new one. Yesterday he took a leave because he was applying for a new job and then we went to SM mega mall, we were supposed to apply for a plan so he could be able to get a new and free phone, but hubby doesn't want any of the free phones for 800plan so we decided to just buy. Geez....so choosy ha! Just kidding! Of course he deserve to have a new and nice phone. He's been working for four years and never bought a new cellphone. I hope he loves his new phone. Oh I guess he loves it, I can see the excitement from his eyes!

I also love his phone. He's actually asking if I like the same phone too?! He will treat me one if he got a new better JOB with better PAY! Aw! Can't wait! I am thinking what if I requested something else since I am not fond of gadgets. What if I request for a new desktop! Aw I wanted to have another computer in this house for the kids. My old one was already broken =( I am also thinking of some accessories which I can keep as an investment, a friend told me about his collections of gold accessories for their value is always increasing. I am also thinking if I could have these pearl earrings I saw in the net.

They are so lovely and dangling! I love danglings! Oh forget about it! I should be thinking of necessary things first! Cellphone is not on top of my priorities but if he wants to buy me one, I will surely love it!

How To Handle An Employee

I only have a small cart business, I was so excited when I first opened it up. I have a crew, I had my cart modified and so on. After a month even it wasn't growing, I can still feel that it will grow soon! I am still thinking positive coz most of the business man I know always telling me that it's normal for a business especially for a new like me to fail at first. I don't know but I feel like it's so stressful! Is it worth it? I know it's a stepping stone for me. I don't have any idea how hard it is....but I still tried. I really wanted to have a business on my own. I said to myself that even a small business will make me happy, Yes I am happy but I am not expecting that this will be harder than I expected. Handling a crew is my number one problem. My newly hired crew is very okay for me but she keeps on resigning and then coming back again just because she has a personal problem. I don't know what to do with her. I wanted to help her but her problem is too personal. I wanted her so much coz she is perfect for me but I don't have any choice but to get a new one. I can't just let my store close whenever my crew was absent. I can sell but not at all times because I am still focusing on realty. The other problem why I don't want to hire a new one if possible is that, I don't know if I can trust them like my crew as of now. If my business is big I will be putting activity tracking so I could watch them. But I do only have a cart, a one meter long cart! I know it's not good that I am not trusting my crew that's why I am actually trying to trust them. but if I only have a choice I will choose my old "problematic crew" again! =)

Typhoon...Typhoon..Typhoon.....

It's been a week now since Typhoon Ondoy strike in our country and until now, people were still on it's way of recovering from the devastating results it has given to most of our country men. There were still more areas affected that still needed some help, they are still asking for food and some clothes for all of their things were destroyed by floods. Good thing our Government and some associations are more willing to help to our fellow countrymen. There are medical assistants patrolling in different areas. Some associations were still in the process of packing some relief goods and clothes. There are also some people still begging for some help but not assisted yet. Hope they will be assisted soon. I have watched the news this evening and I saw the families of the dead victims, how sad that it has to end this way. If only they were found earlier and assisted by parimedics or medical assistant, they would probably alive now. But that life is. Hope the Government will enhance their facilities, hope to have more medical assistant in every area whenever there's a bad weather like this. Hope this will not happen again. God Bless Us.

My Siomai Cart Business

My Siomai Cart is already a month now. I can't still see any progress yet. Other business people saying it's okay for it is normal for a business to take sometime before you can see if it is good or not. For now I am taking their advice, I just need some more time. I should not give up yet right? I am trying different gimmicks for the meantime. I am offering FREE gulaman drink. People like that. I hope that would add more sales in my business. I am still in the process of observing. I wanna know why my sales is not that good. Some people saying my location is good it's just that my cart is too small to notice by the consumers. So I am planning to modify my cart. Some people are saying my product is delicious but the price is too high for people living in that area. Some people are also suggesting that aside from siomai, why not add Siopao? I am also thinking of that. I wanted to add some affordable food items so that students can afford to buy one from my store. Now I have so many things in mind that I don't know anymore what to do first. It's hard to put up a business really, even as small as my cart if you don't know about it yet. Well actually this is my stepping stone, how can I able to handle big business If I can't run this small one? Good thing there is a Lead Generation Company that could help business people like us. I will surely be needing one when I have big business already.

Typhoon Ondoy Experience

Last weekend's experience is surely one of our most unforgettable experience. An experience that we wouldn't like to experience again! This is tragic! I was stranded in Caloocan that day, I rushed my Son Ethan to San Lazaro Hospital due to Cat Bite even the rain is so heavy. I didn't know that anti rabies injection can be given within 14 days coz If I knew that, I will not go out from the house especially with a child with me in that kind of weather. But since I never expect that this typhoon will bring such disaster in our country, I still insisted to go to the hospital for I am really panicking about my son's cat bite. I am calmed when we finally had a jeep to ride on going to Monumento coz I am desperate to ride any route as long as I can reach San Lazaro Hospital. When we reached Monumento, the floods were all over the streets. No more passenger jeepneys to any route. No other choice but to ride a train even if the station were still far from the hospital. I carried Ethan going to the station, we passed through the overflowing flood all over the streets in Monumento circle. That is quite a challenge but I am afraid if I slip or something coz I am with my son. After riding a train, we just walked back to San Lazaro hospital, it was 3 blocks far from the train station. Same in Monumento it was also flooded. It's like were in a river! Even inside the hospital were all flooded! What a disaster! After Ethan's injection we walked again to ride a train but not going home coz we'll surely can't go home. There is no way. So i decided to go to my Aunt's house in 2nd Avenue Caloocan. We stayed there until Sunday even if I wanted to go home to do my opp reviews in provillus. We tried to go home last Saturday night but we failed. The jeepneys were all retreating. The roads going to Malabon were all flooded and not passable. Thank God the rain stopped already. What if it last for two or three days? What will happen next? What will happen to all the people especially to those who were stranded in the middle of floods and in their roofs? That is really tragic.

Got My New Set Of Personal Checks

Last year my husband and I opened a joint checking account for our Condo. It's been over a year now and we just used them all this month. Actually we were supposed to use it only for our condo amortization but since I found using checks so convenient. I don't have to bring cash on hand whenever I need to pay something. Before I used all of my checks, I already ordered new set and this time a personal checks where our names were printed there. I am so excited to use it, though I don't want expenses ehehehhe =) Just wanted to use it when needed. I am actually using it when I am issuing my daughter's tuition and my brother's tuition in college. It's better to use a check as long as you have funds in your account. I am fond of using checks when I started to become a Realtor. My commissions were all paid thru check. I prefer to receive a check from my boss than cash. But I'd rather accept cash from people who I can't trust than check. There are lots of people who had been victimized by scammers. They were using checks in paying goods not knowing these accounts were already closed. So beware.

Becoming Rebellious Wife

I am so mad about my husband going back to his vices. It is not bad to go out sometimes I know that. It's just that he didn't ask permission first before he go. The worst thing is that I was able to know that he was going somewhere from his friend. I think the friend was just concern and he doesn't want me to get mad at him by bringing my hubby with his gimmick. That is one totally relief for my side. What I am so mad about is that he really didn't ask permission from me yet, he lied and then he came home 4:30 in the morning without texting me. The only thing I am requesting from him is to respect me. I am his wife, I should know where he is going. I am also worrying about him especially when he's not yet home and no idea where he is. I just wanted him to give me some importance. Even if I don't want to, I am still allowing him to go. Even if I feel it was so unfair for me, I still letting him go because I wanted him to enjoy even for the fact he's already married and he's not suppose to stay so late outside our home. We have kids waiting for us. How come boys can easily do such things while girls, like for example me as a mother, how come I can't leave my kids for gimmick?! I should try it sometime. I wanna go out too like what my husband is doing. I should enjoy too right? I am no longer drinking but this time, i will drink again, and smoke again and stay with friends all night long., I don't care anymore! If he wants this way then I'll give what he wants. I'll let him do his way then I'll do mine! What's happening to me, am I getting so rebellious now? Am I mad to the world again? Gosh, I am getting so bad again! I can't stop myself not to get mad! I can't stop myself to become so rebellious! I hate it! I hate it! I hate it! On the other side of my rebellious mind, I am happy with my brother James for getting married already and I can see that their relationship is getting better and better. Hope they will continue that kind of relationship. Hope they will LOVE each other forever, not just because they have three kids but because they love each other.

Christmas is Fast Approaching...Time to make a Lists!

Time flies so fast, I just noticed that it's already "Ber" month and my schedule for my kids is becoming more hectic than ever! Last week I was busy trying to review her for her exam which we didn't able to do because she's so stubborn like me (hahahahaha!) And then busy again for her costume for "Buwan ng Wika", after that I thought there will be no more activities yet but I was wrong. I forgot that next month is already October and I don't have kiddos costume for Halloween yet! OMG, you know I am getting crazy over costume parties! I love costume parties! And aside from that I still have to prepare for my daughter's 1st "Fieldtrip" but most importantly for their second quarter examination. This time I have to review her already! While planning for those stuff I have to prepare a list for CHRISTMAS presents! Christmas is the most important occasion for me. I love wrapping and sharing gifts though I know that's not the most important part of celebrating Christmas it's just that I love doing it! I am now thinking of gifts for Ishi's classmates. I love personalized items so I am thinking of making some of them (children of my close friends) a personalized pendants. I still have so many choices like insulated lunch tote or toddler backpack, I think this makes sense coz kids can use it next school year. I also love personalized nap mats, I think this is a good souvenir after school year ends for they will always remember my kid whenever they go out for a picnic. Oh gosh, I am now cramming for there are so many schedules to prepare and there are lot of things I need to plan. =)

Ishi's First Quarter Exam Results

Gosh, until now I am still adjusting. My Siomai Cart is on it's fourth day today and I am still not getting used to so many things. I don't know how to budget my time yet. Is it normal that I have to spent most of my time with my siomai cart? I am still guiding my employee and I don't wanna let her do the things alone yet. I am still helping her with some things mostly in selling coz I really love to prepare siomai. It's really good that Ishi was already done with her exam, I am somehow contented with her scores but at the back of my mind I was feeling guilty because I didn't reviewed her before the exam. She got 1 mistake in science exam and the rest were 80% and above only. Her classmates had better scores, I think I should review her next time. My bad coz I am busy with my little business and I neglected my kid's studies. Hope she could catch up next time. For now, I have to rest already and prepare for another challenge tomorrow. I will just spent a little time browsing in www.bestoftime.com looking for a gifts before I sleep. Good day everyone and thanks for dropping by,

1st day and 2nd day of my Siomai Cart

It's really tiring to put up a business even as small as my siomai cart, yet It's also exciting. I really love business like this. I love selling. I love interacting with new people. So on the first day of my cart, I stayed since opening until closing. I saw how people showed their interest in my product, I love seeing them enjoying the food we are serving especially our FREE black gulaman as opening promo. It's really fulfilling. Yesterday is our second day and I did still stay. My husband was also there because it's holiday. I think he's also happy seeing our mini business. We both stayed until closing time. We are tired yet happy with the result of our sales. We're still expecting it to become higher as soon as people will known about our siomai cart. I think we should think more marketing strategy. Today is our 3rd day, I'll be preparing things for our cart after blogging and bring it to the location. My routine has changed. I am now busier than ever ehehheheh, but blogging will never be eliminated in my schedule. I was just sometime sad because for the past 2 days, I never had a chance to play with my kids. Hope to adjust soon and spent more time with my kids. My photobook was also arrived last thursday but I have to pick it up in post office thru parcel but I didn't able to get it yet. I should get it on monday coz I am really really excited to see it. I wanted to order again but still doesn't have time lay outing. I still has pending stuff to browse like daycare nap mat, stephen joseph quilted backpack and stephen joseph backpack. I love online shopping that's why my paypal money was already empty. I still have to earn for my next target online products =)

How's My Day?

Oh hi fellow bloggers, fellow mommies! I know were all busy these days because of start of classes of our kiddos. My daughter just started to go to school today. It's not actually a regular school. It was just a familiarization day until tomorrow. I am starting to get busy again, I hope to manage my time between my kids, my work and mu husband. I am the one bringing and picking her up to school so I have to wake up early in the morning, after that I have to stay online and accomodate my clients. Gosh It's almost halfway of the year and 2010 is coming so nearly. I am so nervous, I have to earn more for our condo's processing fee that we have to pay in cash before the turn over date. But I am also excited because we will finally have our condo and start to design it. We're already planning about it and thinking of what furniture to use. My husband wants a rustic furniture but that depends if we can afford to buy one. Oh, I am so exhausted today, I feel very sleepy coz I didn't sleep well last night. I was worried because my sn has a fever and cough, I was very paranoid because of that N1H1. Thank God he's good now, he's fever has gone after giving him a paracetamol but he still need to drink some medicine for his cough. Again, thanks God!

Shopping for School Supplies

We just had our shopping last weekend. We bought our groceries for the month and my daughter's stuff for the upcoming school year. I believe I am more excited to buy school supplies than my daughter. What do you expect she's only 3 years old! The only thing she's excited about is to have her Trolley Bag! She's been longing for that ever since she started to attend school. When I told her that we will be buying her a trolley bag, she's been very excited! This is the very first experience of mine shopping for my kids' stuff for school. I remember when I was still studying, I love having new things, new bags, new shoes, new pencils and even a new haircut. My daughter was just starting to grow, I'm sure next time, she'll be the one choosing her own stuff, actually she just started it, she's the one who chose her trolley bag. I actually wanted a personalized kids backpack for her but I want my daughter to choose her own bag. There are lots of cute things in the store nowadays. I don't wanna look at them, don't wanna shop things I don't need. I don't wanna buy things because I just like them, I wanted to buy useful things like what I saw again, a laundry bag. I've been planning to buy one for panties and socks, I wanted them separate from other clothes. Oh here I am again can't stop looking at these items....I saw another one but thank God I don't be needing it anymore...a baby memory book! I love stuff like that, my kids do have couple of baby books. I stopped looking around when my husband called me to go to the counter already hehehehe. Oh I hate going to the mall!

How's My Business?

Oh well, I am still working so hard...keep on waiting for the clients to decide. Keep on answering their queries, giving guidelines and offering some help. I wish I could close more deals this month and for the succeeding months to go. I am now busy with the new additional project I am selling. I went to tagaytay last Monday for site orientation and I love that place! Tagaytay is one of the tourist spots in our country and it is really great to stay there if you want to relax. Though it's raining this month, the place is still wonderful! I am now handling more projects from different developers and sometimes I am getting confuse with the house models, features, rules and sometimes with my clients. Hahahahahah it s so fun to stay in Real Estate business! Everything is NEW and surprising! I was also dreaming of becoming an agent in other country like in Arizona where Scottsdale real estate is located. Because I wanted to try selling properties in other country too! But I think I need to learn more here in the philippines first.

One More YEar To GO!

Last May 26, 2009 is our 12th month downpayment for our condo unit in Berkeley Residences Quezon City. I am getting more excited for I only have to wait another twelve months and it's turn over time! But aside from excitement I am feeling right now, I am also worrying with somethings like our processing fee before the turn over date amounting to Php100,969.41 and If we we're able to loan in the bank for the balance. We were worrying bout the financing coz we can't afford to pay it thru In house they have so much interest compared to bank. Anyway, we're doing something about that already. We're focusing now on how to start with the rentng business next year. Where and how are we going to look for a client to rent. I think I'll be needing a Real Property Management so that I can still have more time for my own realty business. I don't know yet the policies and how to handle a tenant. I think a property management will help me a lot with it. Gosh...I am thinking so hard in advance.

New Stuff and Cool Stuff

I've got something new in the net! Whoa cool stuffs! I love personalized stuff like my mouse pad I just ordered from artscow. I saw something new in the net a while ago and I really wanted to purchase some. I wanna try these cool coffee sleeves, this is kinda cool! I was planning if I could use this as a souvenir for my son's third birthday. Aside from photo books i am doing right now, there's another thing that caught my attention, this mom agenda! I wanted to get one of this so I could list all the things I need to do for the whole year especially now that my daughter is going to school already. I am very confused with so many appointments. Using calendar is not enough for me. I really have to have something that will remind me my appointments. One thing more that I am dying to avail is this personalized placemat. Gosh my daughter will surely love it specially if her favorite cartoon character will be there with her name. Oh well i am only just planning all of them for now coz my priorities for now is my photo book projects. I hope I could finish them all.

Project No. 2 "Ishi's First School Experience" Digiscrapbook

Hooray! Last May 5, 2009 I have submitted my second photobook project to artscow. i will be expecting it soon three weeks after. Aside from that I also ordered 5 pieces 8*10 custom collage for only $.99 with free shipping! Can you imagine that freebie? Who will not use that priviledge? I did! I made 5 designs, 3 for my three nieces, 1 for my brother's family picture and the last page is for our granny. I am again very excited and can't wait to see the print out of my work! While waiting I am working with my next photobook entitled "Super Ethan Turns One". I'd like to use adobe photoshop in designing but I am not ready yet. I want to explore more in artscow's silverlight software first. I will be doing some projects in adobe soon. I have lots of projects in line but I have to earn money online first. You know what I am talking, as I've said to my previous post I am just earning money online because of my other expenses such this. And If I dont earn money from here then I don't have money to spent for my precious photobooks. Well I hope that not happens coz I am still trying very hard to earn. My blogger friend told me to sign up to earn in different companies she just gave me.
