Sixteen Days to Go

In a couple of weeks, I will be turning a year older. I have been really blessed and for that I am truly grateful. I may not be rich materially but deep inside me, I am contented and quite satisfied with my life. I already asked hubby what he will be giving me but he returned the question to me. Well, he did the right thing, didn’t he? The problem with me is that my practicality almost always gets in the way. I stick with the priorities as much as I can and the wishes in the list that I have are not in the priorities, not even close. Hahaha! Am I being too hard on myself? I do not think so. I just want us to realize that dream home soon.

The other day, over lunch, I told the hubby to just buy me a bouquet of Ferrero Rocher. Let us see what will happen. By any chance you have any gift ideas you think I deserve? Drop me a comment.

The News Make My Heart Sink

I have not been watching the news lately because I feel too much negativity on the content. I think the good news that they air is not even two percent of the whole thing. But today, there is something that tells me to change channels, from Disney Junior to ABS-CBN.

I was preparing the girls for clean-up time when the news about flood in Bulacan showed up. I feel pain in my chest and tears in my eyes. These people have nothing to eat, no clean water to drink and are wet! How on Earth did the flood happen?! And why the hell it is not yet subsiding considering that Pedring is already out?!

I showed the news to Ayex hoping she will be able to absorb what I am telling her. She just took a few spoonfuls for supper and said she was full. Then asked for her Bake ‘n Churn ice cream that she requested after ballet. It was quite a disappointment. I hate it when people waste food because not everyone, like these people, always eat three square meals a day and there was I, giving up because I cannot argue with Ayex about food anymore.

To typhoon Quiel, can you just miraculously disappear?

I Used to Sell Online

Before I knew I can earn money out of blogging, I sell online part-time and made some money.

It started when my eldest child learned how to remove the tapes of her diapers. I knew I had to shift her to pull-up diapers. I was hesitant to buy they at the groceries because the price is ridiculous. So I searched online and found who became my supplier. My supplier was just starting then. The market was unsaturated and competition is low. I saw that a diaper business is very promising given that it will never ran out of customers. There will always be babies needing one and even adults too.

I opened a site online and I was like a pro! It was tiring taking photos of products, editing them and posting them online. But each inquiry I get gives me a high. The transaction is both online and offline. The delivery is offline, of course. I stock up but not a lot since it was just a part-time for me. I was plainly sharing the blessing to other parents out there who wanted to save some diapering costs.
