Hectic Week

Waaah, there are a lot of things happening to my life right now...I need to breath....

Well, first we just recently opened our new and improved JOMI mini grocery. We made some major renovations in the house and changed the whole appearance. We need to put up a business if I need Jojo to stay here in the Philippines. He was supposed to apply as a steward in a Shipping company where my sister in law Melody is currently working. But of course, at the last minute, I again asked him to just stay with me and well just gonna put up a business together. So here it is, currently we are managing our store with limited stocks but we will be in full force on May 15. We will be getting our Quality Bonus on the 15th and another 30k would all be donated to our business. I was supposed to buy a new laptop but I know I need to work on our future. If I won't do this now, when?


new and improved JOMI store


In my search for online jobs available, I stumbled upon a site that hires article writers. I hurriedly sent a letter of intent and sent my resume as well. The manager contacted me and interviewed me through yahoo messenger. He asked me how many articles can I write in a day and all those. I told him that I really can't commit that much since I have my regular job. He started to ask me how I was able to know stuff about online advertising so I told him that I used to work for a website company for almost four months. He asked me if I know SEO...at first I am hesitant since I only have very limited information about it but with confidence I said yes. He told me that they are currently seeking SEO Specialist and asked me if I want to apply. Can't really tell what crazy idea came into my mind when I said "I wan't to give it a shot". Are you kidding me? Soon enough he asked me to fill out some forms online and asked me to wait for his decision the next day. I was surprised to get a text message from him saying, I was hired. WTF! He asked me to commit at least two hours of my day, which will happen between 10am to 12NN Monday thru Friday and I will work side by side with their website developer. He is willing to pay me $10 per hour for some SEO stuff and content writing as well. I would try to read and study some tricks about SEO, I hope I can do well.

I really don't know what will happen in these new adventures in my life but it sure is worth the risk. Maybe this is high time for me to get out of my comfort zone and go into my courage zone. I just hope and pray that everything will work out just fine.

Happy Birthday Malen

I hate myself when I commit to others and to myself...and I wasn't able to do it. Arrrgh, it sucks. Like yesterday, I was supposed to attend my college bestfriend Malen's birthday. I already confirmed it but at the last minute...I quit. I don't know why. I always feel uncomfortable going out on my rest days. I don't feel like going somewhere out of the house if it's really not required or really necessary for me to be there. I don't know what that kind of fear it is but I hate it. Maybe I hate dressing up, maybe because I again gained some weight. What I really think is that it has something to do with my weight. When I lost weight last year, all I want to do is party party party. Be on the limelight, have my pictures taken and have it posted on Facebook. I love it when people comment that I've lost a lot of weight which became my motivation to see my other friends. I don't want to rely my happiness on my outward appearance or anything other than my inner self. I don't want to have anything or anyone control the level of my happiness. I just hope I can make it up to my friend. I have failed them twice now (Ruth and Malen- my college bestfiends), one is when I missed our dear friend Syana's party when came to the Philippines after 10 years and now I failed them because I wasn't able to attend her birthday though I promised her that I will be there with my hubby. I hate myself. I hope and pray I can manage to do what I have planned. Procrastination and not doing what you have planned is deadly. Help me Lord. Amen.

Mamu's Treat


Yesterday we met our friends Mamu and Chow at Burgoo Robinsons Galleria as Mamu will treat us for lunch at the famous Burgoo. Actually the last time I remembered eating at Burgoo was on 2004, when my officemates at Maersk went out for lunch at Podium. I believe this is the place that offers large size Hamburgers. I recall taking home half of that burger because it's too big one person can't eat it all. Anyways, we met at around 12 NN at Robinsons Galleria and had a sumptous lunch which comprises of 2 big bowls of Shrimp and Ribs Platter and sumptuous desserts like Oreo Cheesecake, Fudge Brownie ala Mode and Fruit Salad. I didn't expect it to be so expensive, he paid P1600 for the meal alone. Hahaha, this is the first time my bestfriend paid such a huge amount for a treat. Anyways, he is so rich na naman na so I guess barya lang sa kanya to. I'm soooo proud of my bff, well, though I already knew he'll go far...I still didn't expect it to be this soon. Thanks for this blessing Lord. Amen.
