T-shirt and Money matters

We sold plenty of shirts yesterday at the church. Mostly are the ones we designed especially for the church anniversary. And we also got a lot of positive response regarding hubby’s design. I couldn’t be more thankful. I am really praying that this business will flourish and that the income we get from it will suffice for our daily needs. If that happens then I would have peace leaving this day job of mine.

Although I still need more income to be able to help our families. A brother in law is asking for a support for his studies and I have old parents whom we are supporting too.

With all that expenses, I don’t think we can buy ourselves life insurance policy which I have been aiming since the day I started working. And I don't think we can travel for leisure for the next few years.

Well, if God will make our tshirt printing business a success, i don't see any reason for us not to travel. :)

To leave or not to leave

Pros:

1. Will be able to wake up late in the morning
2. Being able to do all the work in the ministry
3. Will be able to help hubby (full time) in his printing business
4. Will have more time to rest and hopefully because of less stress we might get pregnant. Who knows di ba?
5. Will have more time with the family
6. Will have more time doing on line jobs

Cons:

1. Have to let go of my monthly salary
2. No higher bandwidth internet connection, scanning software and all the luxury of our office supplied computer.
3. Leaving some good friends behind.

Sunday & Long day

It was a long day for me and hubby today. It was our church anniversary celebration this morning and the worship service is longer than its usual time, we finished at around 2:00 PM but we got home before 4. We just rested for a while and off we went to Manila to help our friend look for a possible wedding venue. We went first to Paco Park, mass is on going when we reached the place but we were able to take a good look at the garden. Next we went to Ibarra's, and then to Lotus Hotel and City Garden Suites.

So you can imagine how tired we were today. it's like being on treadmills for an hour. And yet, upon reaching home at around 10 PM tonight we still managed to watch "The Road" which is a very sad movie. I don't recommend it, the setting is very dark and sad.

That explains why I am still awake at this wee hour. 

Hubby's newest design!

here are the photos of the t-shirts we've been doing for the past few weeks :) buy one if you like, just message me for the details.

The last two shirts are for LJBC members (our church) and for those who love and supports our church as well :)

ALS -DepEd

Have you heard about ALS or Alternative Learning System Program from Department of Education?

It is the program where anybody ages 15 and above and out of school can take exam and earn a diploma for secondary or elementary level. Registration is currently on going till the 15th of June. The tdate od examination is on August 5 for NCR. It is free and you only need to bring birth certificate to registration centers. You may inquire to nearest school near you for more information.

Why'd I mentioned this? because right now I am going to Pasay City East High School to inquire about it, I have some concerns regarding my two nephews who will take the said exam. Sadly they are not here and that is what I am gonna ask, if they can register now even if they are still abroad. They stopped going to school two years ago since they moved to Singapore. I hope they can still catch up and I hope I can find people who sell textbooks or review books for the ALS.

I'm gonna be a nanny for two teen agers for the next few months.Sigh

Got a new bag!!

And boy I am so glad that I didn't have to spend cash for this nor did I have to use a credit card to get this one. It was a gift (pasalubong) from my BIL who just came home from abroad. And it came at the right time I must say. I've been wanting to get me a new black bag because my favorite old one which was also from my sister is already worn out. I have several bags in my cabinet but when I do love a certain bag I use it everyday. i don't know why. maybe the comfort of knowing that you know your bag and the sections of it, easy for me to find my stuff inside.

Anyways, I love this one, it's a bit small but it is handy :) 

blogging to the next level

I know I said change is coming to this blog but loads of work has made me postponed it for a while. After all it's not only the template that I am planning to change but I am also thinking of moving to wordpress. As of trhe moment I still knew nothing about migrating so I know I would be neeeding a lot of time and a lot of online backup.

I might do it this month if my  "knowledge and powers" permit me to do so. 

Do you know any good readings about moving from blogger to wordpress? Any tutorials that are easy to understand? Please..please I need all the information I can get to do the big move.

Goodbye Summer

Summer is officially over here in my side of the world. In fact it has been raining the week which we all loved because we need rain and we want the cool weather.

A friend asked me when I stated it in my facebook status “where’d our summer gone?” because I realized I never really went out this summer for an outing, never went to a beach or to enjoy a pool on summer day. I know the reasons of course. We are financially tight and we have really no time. Anyways, I am wishing and hoping my next summer will be better, who knows maybe we can even avail of Branson vacation packages. Let's wait and see!

For the meantime, I will enjoy the wind, the rain and the cool weather!!

Life is short

I just learned this morning that a co-employee died last Wednesday night. He was just hospitalized last Monday. It was stroke and half of his body was paralyzed, we thought he's recovering because last Tuesday they id he was able to move his arms and that he was trying to move the paralyzed one. Some said it was due to over fatigue because they did an overtime work last Saturday where they moved boxes from our warehouse. Ours office is not like those high steel buildings so almost every employee knew each other and Kuya Greg-his name was our security guard before, everyone form the office knew him and everyone I guess at some point ask some personal favors from him. He left behind a wife and two children aged 8 and 5.

Life is indeed short.

I pray for God's comfort to her grieving family.

Friday-Fill ins

1. Where the beautiful beaches are and of course Home is my favorite place to travel to.

2. When I think about my childhood, I often remember me playing with the kids in the neighborhood, playing during night time when the moon is out and shining so bright!!.

3. Honesty and Just being there makes for a good friend.

4. The wind in the trees, the rain on my skin, oh the cool weather..I am loving it!! 

5. Going out of town and out of the country for a pleasure trip is so exciting!

6. My best friend knows who I am and what I can do for him.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having dinner with group of friends to celebrate someone’s birthday, tomorrow my plans include running early in the morning, going to school for errands on mid afternoon, worship team rehearsal in the late afternoon and on the evening will save and organize pictures on my flash drive and Sunday, I want to rest after the church service.

Night Swimming

Last Monday was my niece's 8th birthday and the family went swimming last Sunday night, we were supposed to go to Sea breeze in Taguig but to my surprise it has no schedule of night swimming that night. I called to inquire before we went there but they did not mention that night swimming is only on Tuesday and Saturday? I was pissed and so is my father who I think even without using a pulse oximeter you can tell from his looks that his pulse is up sa inis but I do not want to spoil the night so we went looking for another nearby pool, we ended up in Pasig which is not too far and is open but it is smaller and not as nice as Sea breeze. But nevertheless, the kids enjoyed the water.

they really enjoyed it..no doubt about it!

Working at home: Printing t-shirts

I did not report to work today because of lot of pending jobs at home. As I have said, our small silk screen printing business is slowly picking up and we have pending and I felt the need to help hubby finish it on time.  I wish I work in Consonus company or any company where I can do my work at home so that I do not need to absent in case emergency arises at home. Good thing my boss is very understanding or I don't know maybe he's planning to kick me out in due time which I hope not until our small business is already stable.

Anyways, we just finish printing and we will resume after a few minutes. This is the second batch for today. More printing work tomorrow.
