Choosing a degree

Have you ever been in a situation where choosing a degree to pursue had been so difficult? I have. With all the numerous choices to choose from, I could clearly remember how hard it was to narrow my choices to one, and make a decision I hoped I would not regret in the future. It was not an easy task, but I was able to choose the field I pursued and thankfully, I don’t have the slightest regrets.

Many of my friends pursued medical courses for many reasons but I guess it’s because courses like those are very much in demand overseas and would mean that they would have higher income. Some ended up selling medical supplies like stretchers, wheelchairs and medical step stool, but because they have closed deals with big hospitals, business is good for them, too.

Finally, I have my online store! I’ll be selling preloved toys from the US and other cutesy stuff that I, myself would love to collect. A friend asked if I’ll be concentrating on toys. I’d love to sell handmade accessories in the future but I don’t have time to make even just a simple beaded bracelet so my store will be carrying toys in the meantime. Hoping this endeavor will be a success and the store will carry varied items like clothing, accessories, personal care products, and others. Is there a possibility to sell medline wheelchairs? Who knows?! I am keeping my fingers crossed for this new endeavor that I enjoy doing. Shopping for my stocks is one stress-reliever for me and the husband. Washing the toys and baby stuff is another thing that I love doing much more taking individual photos of the items!

My niece asked if I’ll be selling my stuff online when she saw me sorting those. I said “yes” and she said “andami mo ng gagawin Tita. May work ka pa, may blogs ka pa, may work ka pa dito sa bahay (she’s referring to house chores), tapos magbenta ka pa?. Pano mo gawin yan, Tita?” (You have so many things to do, Tita. You have your fulltime job, you have blogs, you have house chores, and you’ll sell online? How could you manage that?).hahaha. The not-so-little girl is thinking too much!
