In My Womb

And before you think something else..let me get that straight..I am not pregnant..I am just fascinated and amazed by how the ultra sound technology has evolved today. Now you can not only see your unborn child's gender inside your womb but you can record a video and you can actually see his whole feature. isn't that amazing! Like even if he is still inside you can now see who's look alike is he or she.

We watched my friend's video tonight and for about 30 minutes we all gazed in awe how he moves his eyes, his cute little hands, he even opened and closed his palm..and wave it (well maybe not wave but he moved)

It's a little expensive to have that 4D ultra sound for pregnant ladies but i think it's worth it. In My womb is located in Makati and I hope I can afford them when it's my time.

As a matter of fact, I am also now preparing for the facebook page I will be creating for our t-shirt printing and souvenir shop. I am hoping to gain more exposure and more clients buy putting that page. It is not easy but eventually it will pay off.

So having this kind of seminar and workshop is essential in this modern world. I’m sure a lot will benefit from this.

HE is good :)

God has always been so good to me and my husband since the day we got married.

And even if we are still waiting for the special gift (baby) that He has yet to give us, that doesn’t changed His goodness. Even if we lack a lot of things that this world considers as necessities, He is still good to us.

Nothing can ever change the fact that GOD is so good.

And so this is Christmas

September is here. 4 months to go before Christmas but you won't believe me, some have started their Christmas countdown today (yesterday actually because it's already 1:00 AM) And radio stations started playing Christmas songs! And I know it won't be long. Christmas is just around the corner.

I've few things to look forward too this December. A very good friend from America is coming home with the kiddos and I can't wait to see them.

But I have few reasons not to rushed Christmas too.

Expenses.

And we all know that. SO before it comes I hope our pockets are ready.

To tell you honestly, buying gifts for family and friends always excites me. So it's good to be ready and start early. Though I always end up buying most of the gifts the last minute, still I enjoy it. Now, it would be easier because I am thinking of buying personalized gifts online. I've already finished designing one. In between reading the term life insurance quotes and playing games at facebook, I managed to finished one today.

How about you? When do you plan to start buying gifts? Would you order online too?

To do list

I am happy that I only have a four day work for this week because of the holiday last Monday. And I am even considering of taking a leave of absence on Friday for my nephew's first birthday. But before I can do that, I have to finish all my pending tasks in the office, especially the renewal of my boss' auto insurance which expired last month. And another car is due for registration this month. So I have to prepare all the documents needed this week. With that I am writing my to do list so I won't forget anything come Friday.

1. Get hold of the insurance policy of the Fortuner from THA

2. Innova Registration

3. Payment for Association dues (Rockwell)

4. Finish the document checklist for hearing

5. Prepare/Send draft

I know I can finish this before the work week ends. :)

Expendables night

As you have read below, I let hubby chose the movie and my guess is right. And I do not regret giving him the right to chose because I enjoyed it too. Enjoyed meaning I did not fall asleep because it was an action packed movie. And the sound won't let you sleep also.lol

I didn't know it was also directed by Sylvester Stallone himself. I was never a fan,a s a matter of fact I do not remember watching any of his movies. Old as he is now but this one is good I must say.

Date with the husband tonight

I am so looking forward for a movie date with the husband tonight. And also I am allowing him to choose what movie we are going to see. Although I have a hint now-Expendables it is.

I just wish we have more time so we can stroll the mall because I want to check women's dresses at the ladies department. He knows I need new tops already.

It’s been a long time since we went out for a date. The last one was the Air Supply Concert .I am also excited for the dinner after the movie :)

I can’t wait for the office hour to be over.

Electricity Bill

Our bill for this month just came today and I can't believe when I saw how much. I think it was an all time high for us. I just do not understand why it is much higher than last month when we have my 2 nephews at home? I asked the husband to checked  of our usage but I so agree that we didn't add something that would cause the bill to shoot up. In fact I was even expecting a much lower bill because we 've lessen the usage since my nephews went back home already. And I know that even if I look at that bill for the whole day, it will not change. I just have to accept the truth that we will be paying that amount that is as high as diamonds can be. That's an exaggeration of course.

Now, I've told husband to carefully watch everything we use. Since the bill date started anew, we will observed if it would go lower next month.

For the meantime, we will be cutting back on our DVD marathons, the PC usage, and whatever that is not necessary.

Wedding Gown Inspiration

This is an inspiration for my friend's wedding gown and since the lace is expensive she's thinking if she can use chiffon instead. I like it! It is so nice. Having the green grass and trees as background is awesome too! And because hers is also a garden wedding we are hoping we can get good pictures too.

We also have the designs for her entourage but unfortunately I do not have the pictures. Tangerine is her wedding color, at first she’s hesitating but when she saw nice dresses in the internet she’s settled for it. We also browsed at different prom dresses and formal dresses to see if she’d like something. I also loved all the designs she have chosen. I just hope the dressmaker will also do well.

Promoting your business

Thinking of other ways to promote your business? Besides going online and making facebook page or a multiply page for your business you can also distribute brochures in malls or in any public areas for your prospective clients who do not have an access to Internet all the time. You may also insert it to a newspaper which is far cheaper than actually advertising in the newspaper itself.

Other ways to distribute your brochure are to insert in cars on the parking areas. You can also have door hangers and hang them on hotels/apartelles/hostels.

As early as now, I am already doing research on how can we promote our small business. Marketing it right will bring us clients and therefore bringing us income.

Putting up the small business

Yes, we are seriously planning to finally put up the printing business soon. Our goal is to have the small printing machines before this year ends. And also finish the paper work few months from now. I have already filled-up the DTI application online and there is still a lot of stuff to do before we can say we’re going full blast next year. I do not know if we need business credit reports for the application of licenses though.

I am trying not to loan anything for this business but if we feel we need too I might try but of course I am trying to be positive.

And I know for this business to succeed, we need to focus and devote our time so I guess it would be the time I'll finally be leaving the corporate world. To which I am sure I will not miss.
