i lost my wallet
November 27, 2008Aaaaargh! Super bad trip!
I was at Ayala MRT station around 7:20pm…usual crowded station since it’s rush hour. I hate myself for being not so vigilant. I usually am. Aaaargh! I was already on the escalator going down when I noticed that my bag has a big slash already and my wallet is gone. Darn it! I panicked a little…didn’t know what to do…my knees became a bit weak. I had to pause for awhile at the side to compose myself. I knew I’m not getting my wallet back ever! haaaaaaaay! I called my sweetie first to tell him what happened. And for some reason, I had the urge to report it to the policeman at the entrance even if I know he can’t do anything about it. Oh well. It was a good thing I still had some coins in my pocket enough to get me home.
I’m sooo hating this feeling. I’m usually vigilant and would usually consider myself street smart but after this incident I hated myself so much. I know what to do on crowded places yet at that moment I didn’t do what I know I was supposed to do. Aaaaargh! I hate feeling stupid!
I just withdrawn 5k to pay for my credit card. Darn it! Swerte naman nya. Haaaaay! Super hassle lang to block my credit card and atms. I lost all my identification cards! Grrrrrr! What’s worse is that the key to our house is in my wallet and I have IDs which has my address there. Now we have to replace our door lock! Haaaaay! Super hassle talaga! Oh, my starbucks card is there also - 2 stickers na lang, planner na sana (oh well..buti na lang hindi masyado maganda yung planner, di ako masyado nanghinayang). That wallet also had one of my sweetie’s love letters inside. *sigh*
Oh well. Ang hirap talaga pag magpapasko na! Ang dme mandurukot! Kaya kayo, be extra careful!
I already had all my cards blocked. Super hasssssssssle!
Haaaaaay….I hope I get over this soon.
Life goes on… gotta move forward…
no more weddings…
November 25, 2008My sweetie wants me to stop accepting wedding coordination stints so I can just focus on other means of earning money which aren’t too time and energy consuming (like blogging). He knows that there are a lot of things that I want to do. He has always been supportive and lets me explore and lets me do stuff that I want to do. Atleast he has let me experience being a wedding planner. That’s a dream come true already.
Money from wedding coordination isn’t really much (but of course the happiness and feeling of being able to help others is priceless). Of course I cannot charge high yet since I’ve only been doing this for a little of over a year and it’s not even regular. It’s not easy being a wedding planner since you deal with a lot of suppliers (around 15 suppliers on the average). Brides can attest how hard it is to plan for a wedding. Imagine planning 3-5 weddings in a year! And each couple have their own quirks and requests that you have to consider. It can really get pretty crazy at times. But I have never had any regrets. It’s always worth it for me. At the end of every event, I feel a sense of pride and happiness that I was able to contribute significantly to other people’s lives. At some point, I was able to deduce that probably my goal in life is to be a blessing to other people. Helping a couple prepare for a very momentous event in their lives is such an honor.
But I guess it’s the case of not-because-you-can-means-you-should. I have to be practical and streamline my modes of earning. For around a year and a half, blogging has become my bread and butter. I think if I focus more on it and really exert more effort, I can still significantly increase my earnings. It’s really a great opportunity since you can stay at home and still earn. You don’t have any time schedule that you have to abide to (except probably posting deadlines). But you can basically do your blog posts in your jammies. Finish them and post them then go back to sleep.
If only I can put up more blogs, post more regularly, and take advantage of other online opportunities, I would be able to increase my monthly earnings. This would be more possible if my attention is not divided. I guess this is what’s my sweetie is pointing out. He has seen how hard I work for my wedding planning stints which can spread out in a year per wedding. Earnings I get from that, I can easily earn in less than a month (sometimes even in less than a week) if I get to maintain more blogs.
Anyway, another reason why he probably wants me to stop my wedding coordination stint is probably because he wants me to focus on our own preps. With limited budget, it is going to be quite a challenge to plan for our own wedding.
Oh well…I would just have to finish my last wedding on January and that’s it.
A friend recently asked me if I can do her wedding for next December… I already turned her down…

new pics uploaded
I miss taking pictures. It’s been awhile since I’ve gone a photo shoot. Somehow, there was a time when I didn’t feel like taking any pictures. Almost everybody is into photography nowadays and somehow i didn’t feel like doing what everybody else is doing.
A few days ago, I went along with my sweetie’s friends for their prenup pictorial at Cubao Shoe Expo and UST (where they both graduated). I had super fun! It was then when I realized that I missed taking photos. It was great that the photographer from niceprint could easily make the couple pose which made the photo shoot even more fun.
Anyway, check out my multiply for some pictures uploaded
personal injury lawyer
Manufacturing companies aim to have zero accidents in their factories. This can be quite a challenge especially if they deal with machineries manually operated just like one of the plants where we had a case study during college. Their people manually put stainless steel sheets under a mold in order to mold bowls. This can be quite risky since if you have the wrong timing, you can get your hand cut off. There are actually a lot of accidents that have occurred in that company. They probably need someone like a Nebraska personal injury lawyer to take care of their cases in order to get just compensation.

cello’s
I’m craving for some sweets now. Baaaaaad! Just imagining chocolates and all those sweets makes me feel my bood sugar rising already.
Anyway, I was browsing through some of my flickr photos and saw this cello’s dougnuts picture. Darn it! I want some! I usually buy assorted ones and just take a bite (or two…or three…or…) of each to just satisfy my sweet cravings. My brother usually finishes off everything’s that’s left. I just like tasting the variety. Finishing a whole one (or two…or three…or…) can really make me feel guilty. Aaargh! Why does it have to be so hard to resist all these temptations?
smart bro
This is one of my delayed posts… (booo! …pardon the irregular posts)
I’m just so happy with the birthday gift that my sweetie gave me. I’m sure I would be able to use very much. It really is very handy to have one of these. Hopefully I can be more productive with my blogging tasks even if I’m at some coffee shop without free wi-fi.
Too bad they still haven’t released their unlimited package. That would be much better since I think it’s a bit of a hassle taking note of the time when logging in (they make use of 30-min time blocks).
Anyway, I hope their signal becomes better. There are a couple of times when I tried connecting but couldn’t.
