GV GV Lang

Hola! It's me, trying to update this blog as often as I can ☺ Done with the first week of July and I have to say it was pretty eventful and I was productive. I'm so proud of myself, nyahaha!

Last Saturday was our cousin's church wedding and we all had to don red outfits. Well, buti na lang Mommy bought me a red dress to wear (because I refuse to shell out moolah to buy something I wouldn't wear often- I'd rather buy that blouse in Uniqlo I've been eyeing and waiting to go on sale!), or else I would've worn the fuchsia dress we have. Everyone was game so everyone wore red (except the male members of the entourage who wore barongs) and I would've stood out like a sore thumb. Pero may naka-black pala. I guess she was not informed. Hehe.

Crystal shopping last Sunday with AC.

Bought a Himalayan salt lamp for the nail spa
+ an Amazonite bracelet

Now I have lotsa crystals ❤️ I have rose quartz I bought from a stall in Galle (doubting its effectiveness, actually), tiger eye, fire agate and jade bracelets, Amazonite and Aventurine stones- all from AC. Bought myself an Amazonite bracelet. Pikit-mata kong inabot ang bayad ko. Haha. And guess what? I just got myself an Ultimate Protection Bracelet and Citrine bracelets. Gaaahd this is so addicting. Last na 'to for the year, okay?

Also got to try three new restaurants just this month ☺

Reunion dinner with A and with M who's back from London. We ate at Wholesome Table in Estancia Mall. Yummy food. Gaaahd, that cheese! Although I have to say it wasn't really filling. I had to eat pa pansit when I got home.

The second new eats haven I've tried was The Brgr Project with AC after we went crystal shopping. These were what we ordered:

No photo of the buffalo wings. Yummeh food ☺ AC found it expensive- our bill was almost 700. But we ordered a lot so I guess sakto lang. Plus, I remember paying almost the same amount in Sweet Ecstasy for fewer items. Also, I got a little overwhelmed when ordering our burger. Andaming choices at palabok. We settled for the classic cheeseburger.

Eats haven #3 was also located along Maginhawa street- Caution Hot! AC and I noticed the long line outside the shop when we went crystal shopping a few days before. It was AD who suggested we eat lunch (at 3pm!!!) there. And... ahlavet! Eh wala naman ata akong hindi nagustuhan haha

AC and I split a bowl of beef asam laksa. We also had pork dumplings and Oolong Milk Tea. It was bliss, I tell you ☺ I actually preferred AD's order of pork classic broth but the laksa was scrumptious as well. I'll definitely be back.

Had an Alabang trip with V last Friday to deliver a rush order. It was fun at first, but then I had this debilitating headache. I was asleep almost the entire time on our way home. Nagising na lang ako malapit na sa bahay, we were along Floodway actually when V said in a surprised manner, 'Ay nahulog!' We saw a man who got up from the pavement with blood running down the sides of his mouth. Akala ko naka-motor eh wala ako nakitang motor. The man fell from a moving jeep. I doubt he's drunk cos I guess an intoxicated person can't get up that fast from the floor. I just wish he's in good condition, walang broken bones whatsoever.

I made another delivery yesterday ☺ I scheduled the said delivery in Glorietta because my IC friends and I were supposed to have brunch in Benny's. Eh na-postpone. So I just went supplies shopping. Eh di productive ☺Which reminds me to remind J if I should ship her order tomorrow.

I feel so blessed and I'm ever so grateful! Kung payat lang sana ako, perfect life na! Haha :P Anyhoo, here's my latest...

GRATITUDE LIST:

• Crystals Alongside prayers, I am also harnessing the power of the crystals to make the odds more favorable. Happy to have found a trustworthy supplier of effective crystals. 
• Holidays Cos I got to spend time with my sisters and my nephews, albeit short- quality naman. Quezon Memorial Circle with C and the 2 boys came here last Monday. 
• Eats Haven New discoveries to make my bilbil happier 
• Orders It really is fulfilling when people I don't know tell me they love my products ☺ One customer told me my soy candles are at par with the ones she bought in Rockwell and another customer said she looooves my peppermint alcosprays. 
• Being accepted in that bazaar Well, every year I pray I get in (I'm around 95% sure they'll accept me, but of course there's still this nagging feeling na, 'what if hindi?' 
• And joining four bazaars this year ☺ Mejo mahal cos I have to pay in advance the space rental. I just pray that I can recover these costs and I hope and pray even with a lot of competition sa tabi-tabi, I still get to sell a lot of my stuff. Sana ako pa rin ang favorite nila.

So life is good right now, maybe except for the nail spa who's not doing too good these days. May dark forces at work daw, but I hope the salt lamp will do it's work. It's supposed to be anti-evil, for protection and can cleanse the energy of a space. Also, someone advised I should light incense sticks in every corner. Gagawin ko yan. Hindi ako susuko. 

Cheers to the first ten days on July! Hoping for a more productive and for more lucrative days ahead of us ☺ 

Ayayay, It's July!

I can't bloody believe we're done with June already. Sabi ko pa naman mas dadalasan ko posts ko but alas, there were a lot of adult stuff that had to be done. I joined a bazaar, had to do three orders plus some online retail selling ☺

Anyway, let me bore you with some of the stuff I was "busy" with last month.

I rearranged my work space.

I placed my working table in the corner so I have more space in the middle of the room. The reason why the working table was in the middle of the room because my WiFi signal couldn't reach that far into the other end of the room but I figured I needed a wall where I can stick my sticky notes on so I get reminded of the things I need to do. This arrangement is much better- more space plus I don't get distracted as much. It's still a work-in-progress. Malayo pa sa pagiging Pinterest- worthy.

The boys stayed with us for a week. With their respective yayas, but still it's different when you sleep with them in one room. But I've learned the magical power of Lights Out, haha. It was fun playing with them pero nakakapagod din mag-saway. Pasyal with the grandparents in the coolest mall in the East, nyahaha.

Fake winter wonderland which the boys enjoyed tremendously

I Uber-ed a lot which was necessary but my-oh-my I am scared to even look at my credit card bill. I want to save on transportation expenses but I tell myself this is why I work hard- so I can live comfortably. Although I don't mind riding the jeep or the bus or the LRT ( Line 2 is the bomb!) if I'm not lugging stuff around the metro. 

Took the kids to the Philippine Science Centrum in Marikina Riverbanks. We arrived around 4pm so medyo hurried yung tour. The kids enjoyed it albeit I feel they'll enjoy it more in a few more years. Of course the science geek in me enjoyed it a lot! I'm gonna join the kids when they go to Mind Museum- feeling ko lang mas mag-eenjoy ako kesa sa mga bagets. 

spinning contraption to test if you have what it takes to be an astronaut

ano ang nasa dako pa roon?

ba be bi bo bu

I LOVE THIS ♥

So hindi siya kasing ganda. Kung baga, entry level ng mga science museums haha. But I hope the government will improve this facility cos honestly, not everyone can afford to get into Mind Museum. It's nice if we have something that's more abot-kaya when it comes to educational venues. 

I started watching Oh Hae-young Again and Brilliant Legacy but I can't get myself to finish watching said dramas because I do not agree with the female protagonists' choice of jowakels. I'm starting with Mirror of the Witch today because of good reviews from Dramabeans; I'm giving it a try even though I am not a fan of period dramas (their costumes bore me). 

I feel a jampacked month this July and I see good times ahead ☺  Oh I forgot to mention, my roster of manicuristas is complete again. Thank God! ☺ I hope they're in it for the long haul which also reminds me I need to rake in the customers. Basta I feel optimistic. 

Attending a cousin's wedding tomorrow- they required all their guests to wear red because the husband is a big fan of the Game of Thrones and wants to have a 'red wedding.' Umm... hindi ba all the wedding guests were murdered in that episode. Lakas makapraning. Hindi daw kakain si ate. Haha. 

I still feel optimistic ☺
