entrepremom

Perhaps it’s true. First love really don’t die because on my case, it didn’t!

Intrigued? Don’t be. My first love was really entrepreneurship. Been selling knick knacks since I was in gradeschool not to sustain anything but because I just want to sell and then I’d buy something from my sales. hahaha It didn’t bring me anywhere but the lessons I learned are still in my heart and mind. Maybe that’s why instead of killing my ass off in my previous office, mas gusto kong magtinda sa internet! I started buying online Summer of 2004, then I started selling old stuff, from there it has become an addiction. My first account in Ebay reached a PowerSeller status but I don’t know what happened, it got suspended. Now I remember, I failed to pay the $2.69 fee! But I didn’t stop there, I started selling stuff in Multiply eventhough it was wrong, hahaha I really didn’t mind as long as I was earning and heck, every seller I know in multiply was doing it! So now I have two stores in Multiply, Shopnsell4less and PoshBaby.

All my Bag-a-Berde bags are sold in both stores but both cater different crowds. The former has yuppy customers while the latter caters to moms and kids.

So there, selling is my first l♥ve and I will sell until I still can.

It’s so depressing to know that the people whom you believe to support you are the ones who think that you made the wrong decision and you ain’t gonna succeed in online selling!

Hay naman talaga…

I found this entry on my highschool diary. I was in my Sophomore year when I wrote this.

I received this through email from Armi this morning and it’s really worth sharing.

I was upset again yesterday with a client who closed a big deal with me, asked for samples only to find out in the end that she was not getting any. I don’t usually get mad at clients who do this, they’re not even worth blogging but this situation’s different (Mommy AC and Mommy Mhellai, you both know about this, the P2.50 thing.) It has caused me too much stress last week. I was upset, hurt and disappointed but glad at the same time as I was not dealing with her anymore. I did not bother to reply to her texts as it would only worsen the situation.

I think I did the right thing. She’s not worth any of my precious time.

Not every battle is worth fighting. Many of the challenges that come our way are simply distractions trying to lure us from our destiny. When we have opportunities to get upset, maybe somebody is talking about us, or a competitor at work is spreading rumors, or our spouse says something that they shouldn’t have, we ought to stop and ask ourselves, “If I engage in this battle and spend my time and energy trying to straighten somebody out, defending myself, arguing with a family member, trying to prove that I’m right, even if I win this battle what is the prize going to be? What is this fight going to accomplish?”

You see, there are a lot of battles that come across our lives each day, but they simply aren’t worth the fight. The end result is strife and disharmony.

Proverbs 20:3 says, “Avoiding a fight is mark of honor.” If you want to honor God and enjoy your life, decide to be a peacemaker. Be the kind of person that will avoid an unnecessary fight.

If you’ll be disciplined to fight the battles that do matter, and take the focus off of those that are less important, not only will your relationships be better and your home full of peace, but God will bless you because where there is peace and unity, God commands a blessing.

One would know that it’s almost Valentine’s Day when suddenly everyone becomes too mushy and cheesy and expensive gifts in boutiques sprang like mushrooms. That anything red is being correlated with hearts and ribbons and gifts and love!

I get a twinge of guilt every time I see people rushing to buy things for this very special occasion, it’s because we do not celebrate it like most couples do. We don’t dine out, we don’t date and we don’t give each other gifts. I don’t know, I am accustomed that this occasion is celebrated each day of your relationship and not just once a year.

To clear things out, hubby and I is probably one of the most romantic people in the whole world – we show our love for each other even in public! We don’t do PDA of course, but we do kiss whenever and wherever we want to.

Then you might be asking why we decided to celebrate the Vday? It’s because we’re in love everyday and does not have to be reminded about it in an occasion celebrated by everyone. Another thing, one single dinner on valentine’s day is so costly – so I really won’t appreciate it. Chocolates, flowers, plushies don’t appeal to me as well. Gifts? I love it but we’re too poor for that. He doesn’t have to treat me out to dinner, buy me expensive flowers or give me extravagant gifts to remind me of how much he loves me – because he shows that to me each day.

Treating me well every single day since the day we met is something I am going to cherish for the rest of our lives. I could not remember a day when he ignored or neglected me. Hubby loves me so much that I was able to forgive him for the simple things we have fought about before. He’s just human after all. But beyond that I could see that his love for me, for us is incomparable. And he doesn’t have to spend a cent just to show me how much we are to him.

I was feeling blue this morning. I was mad, upset for so many reasons:

1. At the little school boys who were so noisy playing outside. They woke me up at 5:45am! And I am usually up at 9 or 10am.

2. At the Gasul Station staff who never even bothered to return my call. I badly need LPG! Magsabi kong may stock o wala, di ba?

3. At the kaning-baboy guy who failed to get our kaning-baboy yesterday. Arrrggggghhh! I just noticed it this morning!

4. At the Pan de Sal guy who never came back. Sinabihan kong bumalik, di bumalik.

5. At OCS for not delivering 2 of my packages today..

etc., etc., etc…the list goes on and on and I already thought that I the day was so unlucky until I’ve read this mail:
