Friendship

Ever since I resigned from my regular job and focused more on my business, I now schedule errands all in the same day and try to make the most out of the time I spend outside or away from my store. I have become attached to our store already [big grin]; and whenever I would be out for a long time I started to feel worried and anxious to get back home. I guess that's just normal especially if it is the only source of income that you got [wink, wink]. Anyway, about a couple of weeks ago, I had this errand day. I got out of the house at 8:30am, off to my first assignment. I finished my first assignment right before lunch time. It was not successful as I have expected it to be but anyway, I still got a long list of to dos for the day so I need to keep focused. My second assignment turned out just fine. The third one too. I had a business meeting with an old colleague. And just when I was about to leave for my final errand, my colleague started to share a story. Apparently my dear friend's been going through some family problems. I was surprised that my friend would share something too personal to me. Or maybe I just didn't expect it. Anyway, I was not able to do my final assignment for the day because I had to stay and talk with my friend. And I am glad I stayed. As I was walking home, I feel proud of myself. Proud and happy. Proud because of the words of wisdom that I was able to share to my friend (which surprises me actually, I never thought that those wise words would come out from me hahaha...); happy because somehow I was able to help my friend.


Marcus Uniforms - Dickies Scrubs

I was trying to help my friend from finding a scrub suit which she needs when she starts her hospital training or when she starts to go on duty in a hospital. Nursing is actually her second course in college. She took up business management right after high school graduation because her parents asked her too, but my friend really wanted to become a nurse. That is why now that she can support her own studies, she is now pursuing her dream. Anyway, as I was trying to find her a nice scrub suit (I was hoping to show her some photos and suggest that she just ask a seamstress to make a scrub suit for her), I came across this nice looking dickies scrubs from Marcus uniforms. The site not only offers uniforms and scrubs, you can also find shoes and medical accessories too! I showed it to my friend and she got all excited. But when she realized that we had to order the items online, she gave me a cold stare (big grin). Anyway, I just told her that atleast now, in case she'll be able to work as nurse in the US, she knows where to buy good scrubs and accessories (wink, wink).



Irony of Love

I just want to share the story of my friend. She told me that I can write about it, so now I am sharing it to you (wink, wink). Like me, my female friend is also single. She had relationships before. And her story that I am about to share is about her past boyfriend and the special someone she had right now. The special someone is not her boy friend. She adores him, but she is not sure if the guy feels the same way for her. Anyway, my friend shared a couple of instances which she finds ironic. One time she was talking to her special someone, trying hard to keep the conversation going. These are the moments when you wish would never end. And that time would stop so that there won't be any interruptions that may put it to an end. During the same moment, my friend's past boyfriend was also trying to communicate with her. As my friend put it, it was like she was chasing after this special someone and here comes her ex-boyfriend chasing after her. It actually reminded me of that scene in the movie My Best Friend's Wedding. Though we were laughing as she shares her story to me, I can feel my friend's pain. I know somehow she is affected by the situation. But I also know that she'll be fine. She's been through a lot already, and such simple situation won't get her. And besides, we are always here for her (wink).

Scala Rider G9

I was doing my usual web surfing today hoping to find something about financial services when I accidentally clicked on a link or an ad [not quite sure what it is and how it happened] and ended up in a site called competition accessories. I saw this communication device that looks like a headset. Its called scala rider g9 headset, which apparently are used for helmets. I think it is for motorcycle riders who are into competition of some sort (big grin). The headset is a communication device for bike riders. Anyway, the site is really interesting. I had to check on every tab to see what's the competition accessories are all about. Boys, oh I mean, men would definitely enjoy the site. Motorcycles are like bicycles in a more elegant form (wink, wink). And motorcycle equates boys *erase* men (big grin). Oh well, there goes my research on financial services [wink, wink].

My Birthday Card



This is the birthday card my niece gave me last week (sweet!). She gave me this together with the birthday cake, she and her friend bought for me.



It is actually a musical card (not sure if that's what it is called) [big grin]. It plays the Happy Birthday song whenever you open it. The card is still on plastic. My niece did not put any personalize message on it. But that's fine, it is really the thought that counts (wink, wink).

Gold Coins Online

I am back here. I know it has been a while since the last time I was able to update this blog. Pardon me my dear followers, I have been busy these last few weeks. My part-time job is really taking a lot of my time and I am beginning to wonder why I am calling it a part-time job if its taking much of me [big grin]. I am not complaining; I am just sharing. Anyway, as I was busy doing my research about money changing, remittance center and pawnshop, I came across this site called Golden Eagle Coins. If you want to buy gold online, it is the right place to be when you are online. They also offer bullion and coins. I think investors and collectors would definitely enjoy this site, especially those who are very much into coin collection. As for me, I am going to collect lots of good memories, for me that's as precious as gold coins [wink, wink].

Family Photos

Found this old family photo. I think I was in grade 6 or junior year in high school when this was taken. My eldest brother was the one sitting beside me, and my Dad. My Mom and my elder brother are the ones standing. I am not sure if it was my eldest brother's civil wedding or my parents are about to go to my sister-in-law's house for the "pamamanhikan" (to implore or formally ask permission of my sister-in-law's parents for the marriage of their daughter and my brother. its a Filipino tradition).

And this one here is a photo of my nephew and nieces when they were still kids. I think this was taken 10 years ago (or more than 10 years?)[wink, wink]. How time flies.
