Home Office

Most of the time I am working in our bed but I get easily tired. My back aches because of the soft bed. My legs also hurt due to my sitting position. So I decided to go down and created my home office.

I used our console table as my office table.

Tadang!!

So after working I can just bring my laptop upstairs. No need for me to purchase a new office table and chairs. I am loving my new home office. 🙂

Internet is Back

After days without internet, finally its back.

While we don’t have internet connection, I finished my bolero crochet project for my little sis. I am glad that she like it. She is now requesting a blanket. Oh my parang ang tagal bago ko matapos yon. I think I should sew her a blanket na lang para mas mabilis. I really wanted to have a sewing machine and I hope I can have it soon kasi madami din akong balak gawin sa spa, like curtains and bedsheets. Mas tipid kasi kung ano na lang magtatahi. Ang mahal kasi ng curtains sa mall, nasa 300pesos each eh kailangan ko ng 16pcs. na curtains so diba mas malaki ang matitipid ko kapag ako na lang ang gagawa.

Anyway, I also finished reading book, it is actually about financial planning. Yes, I am really into it. Financial freedom is my ultimate goal and that is the reason why I keep on building business.

Of course in between those things, my primary duty is taking care of Xavier. He is very active and demanding as well. He really needs my attention all the time.

Yay! it’s weekend already and I have so many things to do this weekend.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Smart Bro Problem

Haist! after the storm Glenda we had a problem with our internet connection but after 2 days of calling them and talking to the supervisor we finally had our internet but after 2 days we don’t have internet connection again. What happened?

We called them and still we got the same answer over and over again. We are very disappointed!

Of course, without internet will definitely affect our daily lives since we are working online. I need to watch my FOREX or else I will lose everything.

So while our Smart Bro is down, I am now connecting through my phone 4G just to monitor everything online.

I hope everything will be back to normal again.

 

 

So Many Things are Going On

I stayed in our room for days now because I have so many things to do. I need to do Marketing Plan for my new spa branch. I need to update our sales and marketing strategy. I am really like this if I am planning of something big. It is actually draining because in between works I have to take care of Xavier. He is with me most of the time and I really like it because I have nothing to worry if he is inside in our room while I am working.

But I get bored, so I also checked my favorite shows on TV. Well, there is no TV in our room and it is really my choice. I want our room away from any distractions. I want our room to be my thinking place. I like watching Keeping up with the Kardashians and I’ve been watching it season by season already. I also see to it to check CNN every day.

I got depressed about the Malaysian Airlines. It hurts to see those people who lost their love ones. I know the feeling.. I really do. No words can really heal the emptiness. It is really shocking. I am affected!

As I am watching, I almost cry. Good thing, I am watching alone. So to keep my worries away, I switched to travel channel.

But really… I am thinking of the victims and the families of the victims. I sincerely hope and pray that God will help them get through this.

I also hope that the world will unite and stop this war. I really hope…

 

Bagyong Glenda

image

I posted it on my FB wall, na wala akong birthday na walang bagyo. Many of my friends told me that it is a blessings daw. I agree with them. I also love it when it’s raining. I don’t know but I love to see the raindrops in the glass window of the car. I also like the raindrops on my skin. Gustong gusto kong maligo sa ulan pero ngayon hindi na pwede kasi madali na lang akong sipunin.

Kapag nasa hotel ako at umuulan, hindi ko na gusto pang bumaba. Natutuwa na akong panoorin ang ulan mula sa taas at mas lalo na na sa hotel glass window. Nong nasa call center pa ako, nakakalimutan ko magtake ng calls kapag pinapanood ko ang raindrops. Natutuwa talaga ako. Gusto ko ng paminsan minsan na ulan pero ayoko ng baha at bagyo.

At dahil dyan, bumili ako ng condo at since preselling pa siguro matagal pa bago ko maenjoy ang view na gusto ko but still it’s an inspiration for me to work hard kasi gusto ko.

Speaking of bagyo, may bagyo na padating, named Glenda. Medyo malakas daw ito at nararamdaman na iang lakas sa ibang parte ng Pilipinas pero dito sa Antipolo, walang ulan sa ngayon pero makulimlim na at ang humid.

Sana walang casualties. I pray to Jesus and Mama Mary to keep everyone safe.

 

Family Day

Sunday is always our family day. I see to it to spend quality time with them. When I was young, we also had our family day at Sunday too. I just want to continue that way because most of the memorable childhood memories I had was during those Family time.

So last Sunday, we prepared early because we want to go somewhere after the mass but when I went down I found out that my nephew has arm fracture. So instead of going to church right away we dropped by first at the hospital.

Nagpa Xray muna sya at yon nga may fracture talaga sya.

Kawawa talaga. Ang sakit daw! Pero nong Monday, nilagyan na ng semento para mas mabilis gumaling. Kawawa talaga. Nagpanic ako nong nakita ko yong elbow na tumabingi.

Then we went to Padre Pio Church in Libis. Finally, natapos namin ang mass kahit na sobrang kulit ng kids. Si Gareth, nakakaloka kasi after ng mass kumanta ng Boom Panes! gusto kong lumubog sa kinatayuan ko, mabuti na lang nag alisan na ang mga tao. Hay naku, sana naman mas maganda ang kantang pinasikat ni Vice kasi madaming kabataan na pinapanood sya. Nakakaloka!

At Eastwood Mall

We had our dinner at Mr. Kurosawa, our favorite japanese resto at Eastwood Mall.

Our orders:

May salad at barbecue pa yan pero hindi ko na napicturan kasi gutom na gutom na kami at si Xavier nag iiyak. Kailangan ko na syang kargahin at patulugin.

After naming kumain nag ikot ikot lang kami saglit tapos umuwi na rin. Nakakapagod…

By the way, nong nakita ko ang picture ko dito narealize ko na ang laki ko na naman. This time magpapayat na talaga ako. Promise!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gift…

Yes, we deserve this…

So we went inside the store and looked for the person who gave us the rate last month. The lady forgot us.. of course naman, I never expected her to recognize us agad agad kasi madaming pumapasok sa store nila everyday.  But while we were talking, the lady remembered us and when she said that, she displayed the watches we love to buy.

So ayon, pili pili muna. Tanong tanong sa presyo at syempre sa discount.

Dami kong tinitingnan…

Dami ko ding tanong…

Matagal pa..

Hanggang si Hubby nagpaalam muna na mag C.R. ahhaha baka kinakabahan sya!

Then we decided to have these two.

So inabot si credit card for straight payment. I always do straight payment kasi I wanted to pay my credit card in full para less hassle sa mga interests na yan.

The lady instructed us the “How to’s” of the watches.

Then we wore our watches and happy with it. 🙂

We are now more inspire to work hard because we rewarded ourselves well and that’s the key for success. We should never forget to reward ourselves. Kahit simpleng tshirt, tsinelas o kahit baby powder may mabibili tayo para sa sarili natin every payday. It will definitely inspire us to work hard.

 

At Shopwise

Our favorite supermarket is Shopwise. We are a member since 2006, the moment we live here in Antipolo. It is also my favorite pastime to do with hubby.

Ang ginagawa ko lang naman ay magtulak ng cart kasi si hubby ang mas hands on kung ano ang kulang sa bahay. Kung ano lang yong kulang ako ang naglalagay sa cart. Minsan naman ayokong sumama kasi kapag kasama ako mas marami ang nabibili kasi dampot lang ako ng dampot at ang dami kong naiisip na kailangan pala namin.

We got only the basic, like fruits and meats.

Hubby got the meat at sabi ko dapat konti lang at mas madami dapat gulay.

Ayan punong puno na.

Nasa fast lane kami kasi pagod na ako kakaikot.

Ayan mukha na akong pagod. Kailangan ko na yata magpamassage.

How’s your day?

 

Salary Day

It’s Salary Day for my spa therapists so we need to go there. Upon arrival, the spa is fully booked and some clients are in the reception area, so I just walked quietly as if I am also a client. Some of the clients know that I am the owner but some are not aware of it and I love it that way.

Last week, I hired some new spa therapists and they are under training. We offer them a month of training and they should pass everything before we will give the clients. So it is very important that they will learn everything and I am very strict in terms of training.

Well, some people are really lack of discipline and maybe they don’t know also of what they really want to do. Nong naghahanap sila ng trabaho ang dami nilang sinasabi para lang matanggap, ako naman laging nagbibigay ng chance kasi ang pinakapurpose naman talaga kung bakit ako nag open ng business ay para magbigay ng work but sometimes I feel sad kasi yong mga nabigyan ko ng trabaho parang hindi nila nabibigyan ng halaga ang pagkakataon.

I do all the hiring and firing of staff at minsan nakakapagod na talaga. Kahit ang dami kong binibigay na benefits sa kanila, parang hindi pa rin okay. Then, I just realized na siguro ganon talaga. Iba iba ang tao at may mga bagay talaga na hindi ko pwedeng i-control.

So earlier, I have this conversation with the trainee. Madami na rin kasing negative feedback ang trainer at supervisor about her performance so I need to talk to her.

Me: Are you still interested to work here?

Trainee: (Smiling)

Me: Ano?

Trainee: Maam, hindi na po, nahihirapan po ako.

Me: ah okay, so wala na pala tayong dapat pag usapan. Sige pack your things.

Then she left.

Oh my.. wala naman akong time makipag usap sa mga ganong tao. Sayang lang ang energy ko kung kausapin ko pa eh hindi na pala gusto sa company ko.

Then, I give the salary for the rest of the therapists then headed to my next duty.

Before we went to the spa, I had my lunch first, mabuti na lang kasi nakakagutom kausap ang mga tao don.

I order this chicken meal. I forgot the exact name in the menu.. hahaha

Hubby’s favorite.

Greek Salad

My date. 🙂

Chocolate Milk Shake, my fave.

Ordinary Day

Since, I am staying at home most of the time, it is already a luxury for me to go out specially on weekdays. So we take Gareth with us to visit our coffee shop in Antipolo. It’s in Christina Cafe right infront of Shopwise Antipolo.

Gareth is happy. 🙂 He is always happy specially if I spend time with him alone.

Hubby and I order this one. Our favorite.

Gareth sinusubuan ni hubby kasi mainit pa ang tinapay nya. 🙂

We went to Mercury to get vitamins but ended up buying more, like bread, soaps, tooth brush, etc. Sana nag shopwise na lang kami.
