God I’m so relieved! We found a new househelp yesterday! She, in fact, started yesterday itself. That only means I can peacefully go back to work without thinking how my mom would handle my two girls while I’m away. At least now she won’t have to worry about the house chores.

I’m kinda excited and nervous. Excited coz it’s a new challenging job for me. I’ll be in the Marketing Dept this time. I was offered the post of Asst Marketing Manager. It’s all new to me. I’m sure it’s not only about handling promotional products the company is giving to potential clients but a lot more challenging duties. I know I can do it! I’m so grateful that my ex-boss believes in me and still want my service despite leaving them almost a year ago. Goodluck to me!

I’ve been looking for a laptop cooler within our area but failed. I checked the computer shops around but you only get them by order and it takes 3-5 working days to arrive. I checked ebay.ph instead and chanced upon this cool item, it’s called Coolball, a very good alternative for a laptop cooler.

I bought two sets for my laptop and Deye’s netbook. Continue reading ‘Laptop Cooler Alternative’

When I woke up this morning, I had a lighter feeling knowing our new househelp will be there! I waited. 8am, still a no show! Sent her a message and asked her what time was she coming in coz I have errands to finish outside.

Then only she replied saying her 10 y/o doesn’t like the idea of leaving her. Well, the agreement was for the time being. We, have, in fact offered her that she could bring her daughter along with her and stay with us, at least Deye could have a playmate. She happily accepted and even requested if she could start on Wednesday, and that was supposed to be starting this morning.

Giving me the reason that her daughter didn’t like the idea which I understand, I offered her another opp that I’ll pay for her everyday fare from our place to their place back and forth till she finishes school this month. She said okay, I will talk to her again. Told her to miss call me so she won’t have to spend her mobile credit. Half an hour passed, Continue reading ‘No Show’

Preschoolers’ Moving Up in Ate Deye’s school is scheduled 2 weeks from now. On March 22, to be exact. I’m sure, dress shops are busy stitching tuxedos and formal dresses for boys and girls respectively. As usual, yours truly wanted something the best affordable dress for her daughter. Affordable only means having the materials bought from Pagasa Market (a place in Olongapo where fabric materials are found) appropriate to the dress design I found online. It has a simple pattern. A typical empire cut dress, with  belt and flower on it. Materials are:

2 yards of pink fabric = P180.00
1/4 yard of brown chiffon = P40.00
Labor for stitching = P200.00

Since Ate Deye only needed like 1 and 1/4 of the pink fabric, I thought of having the same pattern stitch for my bunso. Cute eh? And maybe P100.00 for stitching the small dress. All in all, it only cost me P520.00. Way practical that buying a ready made from the mall or renting a dress that might cost me more than a thousand pesosesoses!

These photos were taken when my husband was still here on vacation. It wasn’t planned. We just thought of going to the beach a day before it happened.

I invited my cousins with kids (4 girls and 2 boys). Photos below were taken in the afternoon, just in time for their nap. Continue reading ‘OWM : Beach on a Sunday’
