Life’s Lessons

It’s year-end sale in all malls. As much as I want to shop, my wallet is almost empty. I have withdrawn my earnings last Tuesday, Dec. 23 and I forgot that aside from the regular holidays, the rest of the following days until New Year is declared as Special Non-Working day so the banks are all on holiday*sigh*. I was hoping to receive my earnings from paypal on the 29th but it seems so impossible to happen. But then I was still hopeful that a miracle would happen so I was checking my UnionBank account online from time to time but to no avail. Such a bummer. I should have withdrawn it through Xoom so the money will be in my hands within the day. I am actually thinking about that before I transferred my paypal earnings to my UnionBank EON account but Xoom’s service fee is almost $10 so I opted to withdraw through my bank account. Now I will be celebrating New Year without personal money in my wallet. Of course Ace’ money is also mine but it feels different if I have my own money especially if I do shopping. Hence, the impulsive buyer was tamed for a while. Not totally, though because I was able to shop for simple gifts for mine and Ace’ family. Continue Reading »

I was cleaning my inbox earlier and finally decided to open the emails that’s been sitting there for months already. Just wanna share this to everybody. 

To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day. I love you.

P.S.

And, remember…
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.

Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you. You may have touched their life in ways you will never know!

Now, you have a nice day.

God

More than a month to go and it’s new year again. I am beginning to plan what I will give to my family and relatives on New Year. It’s been a yearly tradition for our relatives in Mamang’s side to give gifts on New Year’s eve. Last year, I and Ace bought toys for the kids, flip flops for the guys, umbrella for the gals, coin purse for my older cousins, vanity kits for my aunts including Inang (my grandma) and hand towels for my uncles including Tatang (my grandpa). Last month, I told Ace I wanted to give my aunts a handbag and I hope I could save enough to buy them handbags. Continue Reading »

My mind was preoccupied with some concerns that I didn’t realized I have bigger things to concern myself with until I have read my sister Carol’s latest post here. It has become a habit to visit her blog everyday to update myself with what’s happening with them in the province and to amuse myself with something new about Ella. Carol was worried about Che2x’s exam tomorrow on which I didn’t worry that much about the money for her final school fees because she said she’ll take a special exam next week rather than paying tomorrow and taking the final examinations as scheduled.

So many things going on around here. I’m getting busy doing the wedding favors but haven’t done the final product yet. I’m still thinking what to add in it to look really beautiful. I only have problem in  finding the right color for the ribbon.

Yesterday I went to downtown to buy Ace’ badminton racket and the lacking materials for the giveaways. I went first to DCLA where I used to get decorative stones and when I got there, only 5 packs of stones are on display. I asked the saleslady if they still have stocks in the stockroom so she checked on it. I need 9 packs and will be back next week for additional 21 packs so I need to make sure they have enough stocks until next week. Continue Reading »
