Creative Thoughts

I’m very happy to say that for the past five years of our life together as a couple – me and my hubby never incurred huge loan debts. In fact, the only debt we have and have ever had is for our motorcycle and my laptop for my online work. That’s it.

We’ve managed to live for the money that we have even though it was small and we had to pay for everything in the city. My hubby couldn’t work in jobs which are high paying and so we really had to be contented with minimal pay. It was only great that I had a job then that paid quite well – my call center job. But, for those who are buried in huge debts, my advice is to go for Debt counseling.

My wedding is off about a week from now. I won’t be wearing any of those shining, shimmering diamond necklace but I’m completely happy because finally I will get to say “I do” to the man who makes me happy everyday. This is the day that we have both been waiting for and we are all excited in here. We are busy with the preparations because we have to be the ones preparing for the said event. I’m just a little worried with work because at this point, I won’t be able to do that much. But, I promise to make up right after this event.

I haven’t even been updating this blog and my other blog that much because of all my busyness. But, I’m meaning to really work more on these blogs and also on my full time jobs.

Everyone wants to own their own vehicle. When you don’t have it yet, you do everything to gain it. You work so hard until you get enough money for it. Having a car is definitely good because you will have your own mode of transportation and you don’t need to commute. You can go anywhere you like and you won’t have to put your life in the hands of another person because you or a trusted person will be your driver.

But, you also have to know the not so good things that would come along when you have a car. Because having a car means that you need to pay for gasoline, and be prepared to find a reputable company where you will have some breakdown service or perhaps have your car tuned up. I’m not a vehicle expert, but as far as I am concerned, a car needs to be maintained and that would entail your money and time. You ought to be prepared for it if you wish to have a car.

I bought a dvd copy of the popular series the Fierce Wife. This series is still being shown right now at ABS-CBN but I wasn’t able to watch it from the start and I do not like watching in a way that you need to follow a schedule. I wasn’t able to find a tagalog version of the movie and in fact, it was kinda awkward from the beginning watching the series in korean language but then eventually, I got the hang of it.
There are so many lessons to learn from in this series. I so love it because I feel so strongly about issues of infidelity in relationships especially in marriage. One thing I learned is that when someone hurts you, the best way to fight back is not to wallow in self-pity and eat a lot to the point that you would already need appetite suppressants; but, to improve yourself, become better as a person and show the people who hurt you that you are stronger than ever. This is the only way to gain the person you lost back into your life, in most cases. And I find it to be so true indeed.

If you need to print certain materials for events like a wedding for example, you will find that hiring a printer to do the job will be so much better for you. Instead of buying your own printer and spending a lot on laser ink cartridges, you can just pay a commercial printer to take care of everything for you. All you need to do is to tell them how you want your materials to appear. You need to make certain selections such as the design of your material, the colors and paper to be used among other things.

It’s been a while since I’ve written something from the heart in here. I have been doing some writing tasks, YES, but writing in here like this is my diary? Hmmm, it’s been a while. I have been quite BUSY. Perhaps BUSY is an underestimated word. I have never been able to do much here in our place, because I am always tied to my PC. Haven’t even written and blogged that I’ve already gotten myself a brand new baby – my New Samsung Notebook. That only shows I am really BUSY, because before I would usually write things I am excited about as soon as I can.

If only money is easy to get…….. *** sigh ** I am just glad that God gave me these opportunities and God made me the kind of person who would be able to do such jobs. Life can be boring and I’m glad that I don’t have everything I need and want. That just spells boring to me. I need to be constantly stimulated with new challenges – perhaps the reason why my life is this hard…. I can’t wait to save enough for a 2 day resort getaway. I really need a break. But I need to save first. Our wedding will soon be in November – it’s a really simple one, a garden wedding to avoid unnecessary expenses and stuff. But, I’ll make sure it will be a memorable one with all the important people in my life. Once we have enough money on hand, we’ll then make plans and preparations. We just don’t want to plan too soon. Ohh, by the way, I almost forgot, I will be interviewed by MMK-ABS-CBN by next week for their anniversary special. I can’t wait for them to come and video interview me. I’ll make sure I’ll take photographs of this event. It’s something I have been waiting for, for some time already and I even thought it was already cancelled.

We never anticipated or planned for our 4 year old to start nursery already. In fact, she was already a month late. But, we were glad that when we inquired, the acting teacher who was a nun entertained us and accepted our daughter. Right then and there, she had my daughter start and join class right away. We were both surprised but it was fun and we decided to enroll her.
We never had much time to prepare her things and I would have wanted a personalized childrens sized backpacks that can be bought online; however, we already had a sturdy children’s backpack at home that she can still use plus my husband’s cousin gave us a blue children’s bag. So, perhaps next year, I will see to it that I get to buy her a personalized children’s bag of my choice.

 While there are plenty of weight loss pills for women all around the world, there are in fact weight loss pills for men as well. Yes, there are plenty of men who are also suffering from obesity all around the globe, but they aren’t as depressed or over conscious with their looks and with their body frames as women. That is why; these kinds of pills for men aren’t really that popular.
If you happen to be a man suffering from obesity and you would like to get some help, you might want to look around some websites online that offer these weight loss pills you can try. You may also seek assistance from your medical doctor or ask around from your group of friends.

It used to be that trophies and awards were the most important things for me and the main reason why I worked hard in being on top of everything. In contests and in school, I strived hard to get these external things, but later on in life, I realize that they are only things and not as important as the things I learned in the journey to being my best self.
There are more important things in life than achievements alone. It’s not about being the best all the time. Instead, the lessons we gain along the way and the new person we become because of the things we go through, are the real awards we get from all these.

One of the dangers of the internet world is the fact that scammers are rampant. They are out there to make money of you or to take advantage of the fact that you are in need of money. Last week, someone posted an ad in a reputable site where I often check new writing jobs out. It’s designed for Filipinos who are freelancers like me.

There was this George Goodman who posted a really nice ad promising of a lucrative writing position. He immediately replied to my application email and had me write 10 product reviews of 450 words in length. One of the product that I reviewed was about home theater system speakers. It was a test task to see if he will hire me for the position or not. He promised to pay 10 dollars each for the articles – therefore, he needs to pay me 100 dollars. Since, it was only a one day’s worth of work and he presented himself really professionally, I never thought he was a scammer.

After I submitted my work, nobody replied from his end. I didn’t hear from him anymore. I never emailed him more or ask for an explanation. I knew what happened. He was a person who post ads and use the article samples sent to him. He was a certified scammer.

I don’t want to have anything to do with him or those people who are like him. But, I know that God will punish him for his doings.
