Virus Scare

I just had a big virus scare this afternoon.  I was in panic! Everything was automatically scrolling down. I changed my mouse battery then changed to another mouse. I turned off my machine and my little problem was still there. I was about to review my antivirus program similar to ESET security license when my brother pointed out my problem. See, I’m dependent on Ane when it comes to my gadget issues and since he wasn’t here yet, I had to call Ry to troubleshoot. My problem was just a stuck down key. Whew.

I need an eye check…

The last time I had my eye checked was before I got (or while I was still) pregnant with R. Well, for someone who’s been wearing eyeglasses for years now, I say I’m already overdue to have my eyes checked again. I probably need to change my lenses too, I’m not sure if I’ll be needing progressive lenses. I hope not because I think those lenses are a sign of old(er) age. LOL. About once or twice a week, I see floaters, during those times when I lack sleep or when I’m tired. But then again, floaters are not supposed to be ignored so I must really schedule a visit to the Optha soon.

New Business

It’s never easy to start one. I learned this after years of failed attempts (not that I’m trying really hard, huh). You can’t just enter a venture, even if you have the money to spend.  You need to do a study and cover all details. For instance, you can’t offer moving services if you don’t even know which trailer manufacturer or rental company to deal with. Again, it’s not just about the money. So what’s the point of this post? Well, I just remembered someone I know whose business is doomed from the beginning and sadly, he doesn’t even know it.

That long?!

Whoa! Talk about a hiatus! I didn’t realize I was off this blog far too long, until I got some online time today. This is what happens when real life gets in the way (I’m not complaining though) and the drive to share went kaput. I’m sure you know what I mean, when you are simply uninspired and you just want to take two steps back to see the big picture. Yeah, I think that’s what happened. I hope to get my groove back though. Soon.

Undomesticated

I went to K’s school this morning for the monthly consultation with the teachers. We were also invited to a short talk on Nutrition, July being the Nutrition Month. There was a Chef who shared some recipes to make healthy snacks. I was asked to do one of the sandwiches and I was so clumsy I think the other parents noticed how undomesticated I am. Don’t get me wrong. I know how to cook and prepare food but if you will ask me to cook everyday, I won’t be able to do anything else anymore. Being in the kitchen kinda stresses me, I just don’t know if an anti fatigue kitchen mat will change that.

Anyway, they also shared this:

Macaroons? Yes but with a twist! They’re macaroons with squash! I didn’t know it until my seatmate mentioned it. K will probably like it too! Maybe I should try making some soon to wake up the domesticated goddess in me.

Stocking Knowledge

I’ve been reading tips here and there on designing party printables and office stationary like letterhead prints. I never gave up the idea that one day I will be able to offer that kind of services to clients as a business. I need to stock on knowledge because I’ll never know when a client would request for something I haven’t done before. Like last week, I had an unexpected order to design two invitations. But since I do that all the time for my kids’ parties and for friends/relatives, it was just easy. If the client added pillow boxes and tumbler labels, I would have to research first.

Someday…

This is in my bucket list! I want to explore and see the world with Ane…after exploring the Philippines of course. I wish we’d still have the energy to travel when we finally have the resources to actually do it. :p

A Blessed Weekend to All

Our weekend started pretty slow and it will probably stay that way for the rest of this long weekend (at least for QC peeps with kids because there will be no classes on Monday). I’m almost done with work and I’ll be off to spend QT with family in a while. Let me just share with you this quote, used a thousand times over, but still a good prayer to utter.

 

Happy weekend everyone!

Santino runs slow

I haven’t been using my old laptop Santino since Whitney arrived last year. I’ve assigned Santino to my daughter K but since we limit her gadget and TV use already, we don’t turn on that laptop anymore. Even before we weaned K from the laptop, I already noticed that Santino the pc runs slow. Just starting it up takes time. Maybe because he’s old and the system needs an upgrade? But whatever. Writing this post made me remember that I have files in there I need to backup soon.
