wee~

So far, 2012 has been very, very good to me. Business has been consistently okay although I am still hoping it could do better. Orders are coming in one after another. There hasn't been major employee problems/drama. A far cry from the start of my 2011. I'm just very grateful for all these blessings pouring in. Just keep them coming, Lord :) Thank You.

• Movie dates and lunches with friends. I enjoy catching up with my friends over lunch and coffee. For the second year, A and I went out on a Saturday before February 14, which I find funny kasi parang it turned out to be out little Valentine thing. Sorry naman at laging may corny Tagalog rom-com before Valentine's that I drag her to watch with me. 
• Orders, orders and more orders! I wasn't able to do my Rex Manning duties anymore cos I had to go to my suppliers for my materials and then I had to make everything by myself- from the products to the labels to the packaging. The only step I leave to someone else is the making and assembling of the pouches. But you know what, if only I could work a sewing machine, I'd sew my pouches myself. But I'm already very thankful that my sister has a modista who is very kind and accommodating to my requests. I just wish that I'll have 2 to 3 projects every month, plus recurring orders, then I'm all good :) 
• Free upsize coupon for my mocha frap
• My two nephews are back from their other grandparents' house. They're the most adorable kids ever, kahit pa tinatawag akong 'baliw.' 
• "Care package" from my Auntie Madre. Well, this was what happened- we were in this gathering and I made pansin her shoes because she was wearing black, close-toe slingback flats. Natuwa lang ako cos it's different from what nuns would usually wear- yung Moses-inspired sandals nila. Then one day, a package from JRS Express arrived for me from my aunt. The black slingbacks were there, plus a hygiene kit that comes free in PAL flights ( I reckon this was given to her by my uncle who came her for a visit from the States) and a can of prunes. Happiness :) 
• My friend passing the bar exams! I am so happy for her :) 
• Books for free. Well, not exactly. I borrowed A's copy of Before Ever After, meaning I didn't have to buy a copy. And Tina Fey's Bossypants in ebook form. Both were good reads. I still have to finish reading listening Bossypants which is hilarious. Ever since I found out it was Tina Fey who wrote the screenplay for Mean Girls, I've liked and loved her works. How I wish I could be as brilliant as her. 

I know I have so much to be thankful for but I've forgotten them already. Basta all I know is February has been very good to me and I hope March will be even much, much better. I've yet to start going to the gym to lose the frakkin' weight not just because I look like a blob already but also for health reasons.

 Sinong nagsabi na 2012 ay pangit na year for Dogs? Pwes, mali sila. Thank You for a very good month.

P.S. I really find it unsettling that time is in hyperspeed these days... before we know it, Christmas na naman.
