Ang Mga Ganap at Hanash: Q1 2017

I wanted to post more often than I did the past few months but I was able to post just once last month. Lately, my posts per month numbers to three, tops. The most I've posted was May last year and that was only six posts. I really want to keep this online journal updated because it reminds me of stuff that have happened a kagillion light years ago, how I was feeling this time three years ago. I find keeping this journal easier than a written one- though I also try to keep one. I like the idea of being able to post pictures and embed videos and songs.

Anyway, since the first quarter of 2017 is done (that was fast, no?) here's my Gratitude List for the first three months of the year.

Big orders! 

Sabi nga ni Mareng Oprah, luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Got two big orders just this Q1 and I'm ever so grateful to God and to my lucky stars (and crystals)! Well, one big account didn't reorder last year (what a bummer), but I have this new shizz so it's all good. Hopefully, may dumagdag. I need these accounts during off-peak months which is 75% of the time. And worth mentioning also are the not-so-big but keeps-me-afloat orders. These are the 30 to 50 pieces for birthdays, baptisms, etc.

Another pop-up!

What was supposed to be a holiday thing is now a permanent thing (at least for now) and even after the holidays, I'm glad that the stocks are moving naman. Well, they still didn't give my my sales since December 5 but I know they're going to remit those soon. Sana lang. Haha. And aside from the temporary going permanent, I joined another pop-up near UST. Actually, the gig's a little iffy since it is not in a matao na lugar. I hope okay naman. My hopes are up!!!

I now have a niece!

After four boys, I now have a niece. I call her ahjumma since she reminds me of an elderly Korean woman. She's only four months but looks like she's seven months old. She's BIG. And cute in her own ahjumma-ish way :P I can't wait until she's more interactive ☺ Cos right now she's just doing a lot of sleeping and milk-drinking. Occasionally, she laughs at my dance numbers (feeling ko lang) and she's a huge fan of my singing (her favorite is my rendition of A Whole New World). And have I mentioned that she sleeps with me (on my bed!!!) almost everyday. On weekends when her parents decide that they actually want to do some parenting, they take her home with them. On other days, they just meet and greet their baby. On some days, we feel they forgot they have a third child. Ha. But I ♥ ahjumma especially now that she sleeps through the night and no longer feeds every two hours!

Beauty & the Beast and Brit Brit

Finally got to watch the live action Beauty and the Beast movie and it was nice ☺ Of course nothing beats the original- mas type ko pa rin si animation Belle. Got to watch the movie twice and both times it was for free. Yay ☺ And FINALLY Britney is coming to Manila! AC AD and I are watching but we got general admission tickets only. GAAAHD WHO CARES IT'S BRITNEY, BITCH! Haha! But you know me, I'm a cheapskate when it comes to concerts. I might have actually said somewhere on this blog that I'd spend for Britney's concert but you see, it's hard to let go of hard-earned moolah. GA tickets cost 2625 (plus 100 if you buy it online) and next tickets are at 5K each. If Brit Brit's gonna dance like she did back in the early 2000s, I probably might but I've seen her recent videos and it's more like swaying her arms and walking back and forth than actual dancing. But still... BRITNEY! YAY ☺☺☺

So those are the main hanash lately but I'm sure there are more I just can't think of them right now (and I'm so itching to watch the latest Riverdale episodes- which reminds me, I have to blog about).

Aside from watching five Korean dramas during Q1, I'm also currently watching Strong Woman Do Bong-soon and Radiant Office, both ongoing dramas. Hopefully both dramas finish strong. They're still ongoing so I can't write about them yet. I mentioned Riverdale awhile back and here's my opinion about the show- I'm not crazy about it. I almost regretted watching the first episode because it ruined the whole Riverdale gang for me. That was just wrong, people. I feel they could've used different characters for this series. Plus, Archie's face is annoying. Mukha kaya siyang vampire. I decided to continue watching because I've read about the Betty-Jughead plotline and I thought I'd give it another try. Um, okay lang naman. Let's see if I get hooked but seriously, this is too angsty and messed up for my liking. Ayoko na ng mga mala-Pretty Little Liars na drama. Paikot-ikot na walang katuturan.

Naks. So may katuturan ang iZombie no? Well, yeah, whatever floats your boat.

I miss daddy. He's been in the province since January and since he needs to tend to stuff, he's still there and might be home next month pa. My assistant/masseuse/#1 fan went home to the province and will be there for, more or less, two weeks. Let's try going back to how life was before I had helpers in my business- I have to do everything myself  **hyperventilating as I'm typing this**

So toodles as I have to wake up early tomorrow- you know, grown up stuff needs to be done.
