Korya-got to be Kidding Me

I'm so beeezeee! Or at least, I think I am. Haha. Ang bilis bilis bilis ng mga araw. 2016 just flew by. I'm currently in production mode and I feel I should be mixing everyday now since I'm joining more bazaars this year and I'm torn between making lots and lots of inventory so I'm ready for these bazaars and being scared of having leftover inventory if sales won't be as good as I expected it to be. But I think I'm going with being prepared- sayang ang opportunity 'no. Sabi nga ni Mareng Oprah,

We don't want lost sales now, do we?

So anyway, here's an update of what I've been up to recently aside from working my ass off (even if people think I'm just lying on my bed all day).

First and foremost, I was denied a Korean visa. So that frakkin' countdown ekek has to go. I'm not sad. I am disappointed. We're still trying to see if we can appeal my case kasi sayang din yung 10K (5K for me and 5K for AC). I sort of know what I did wrong but I was just trying to be honest. So yuuh, I'm disappointed because all these time I thought I was going to spend my birthday in Seoul. I really thought it was easy to secure a Korean visa. Well, I was wrong. They don't want my money, eh di huwag. And even if after appealing eh I don't get a visa still, I WILL NEVER GO TO KOREA. Itaga niyo 'yan sa bato. Of course I can't give up my Korean drama fixation, haha.

Aside from that one heartache, everything's good. So my crystal bracelet addiction is still ongoing. Even after vowing that the citrine and ultimate protection bracelets were going to be my last purchase, I still purchased a garnet bracelet. So here's my stash now

Let me introduce you to my babies ☺
From top to bottom: Amazonite, Citrine, Fire Agate, Garnet
and Ultimate Protection bracelets

These were all from one supplier only. I didn't include the jades from AC, plus the not-so-effective rose quartz we got from another shop.

Last month, we went to this Thai restaurant in Marikina, daddy's treat ☺

HEAVEN! I love love love Thai food ♥♥♥ If Korea doesn't want my money, I'm going back to Thailand and drown myself in scrumptious authentic Thai cuisine. Ni hindi ko nga gusto masyado ang Korean food. Haha sorry ang ka-bitteran lumalabas. But gaaaahd, how I love pad thai and tom yum :-) Yum yum YUUUUUM!

And because I've been feeling sorry for myself because of the Korean visa ekek, medyo nagse-self pity ako and splurged a little on stuff and food. Haha. I mean, if I wasn't going there on my birthday, might as well enjoy my money. Ayaw niyo, pues leche kayo.

But of course I feel that God has a reason why I didn't get a visa. I may not understand it right now but eventually, I'll know why. Maybe instead of spending it on expensive Korean food and whatnots and accommodation, God said I should use the money instead on my business. Use travel money to buy more supplies, use the time to make more products. That's what I keep telling myself so next year when I go to Japan or the States (wow confident), I'll have more funds. Sorry Korea, you just got bumped off my bucket list.

I also got into Pokemon Go. I really didn't want to get into the bandwagon kasi nga busy ako diba and I never really got myself into the "in" stuff because I'm a rebel like that, uh-huh. Haha. But this cousin said she's going to my house so we can download the game and play while she's here. I downloaded the game. She didn't come. And before I knew it, I was hooked. Kiber nang bumalik sa Eastwood ng tatlong beses basta makahuli ng rare Pokemons. I don't know until when I'm going to keep up with this madness.
