We know a dealer who comes by, at least, once a month to show us her product catalogs. And earlier this week, she brought her MSE book -- that stands for Marikina Shoe Exhange. And I found this amazing golden, shiny sandals there. That made me think about how I don't have dressy, formal shoes at all! "I might need one," I thought. "And this would be perfect," I thought. So I ordered it. Two days later... they're here! Yay! So pretty... And of course, it's proudly Philippine-made and from Marikina too! They're good-quality shoes and I can comfortably walk in them. Me likey MSE. So that's my latest purchase. If a formal thing comes up, I'd have the shoes for it. lol! But what about getting a dress? hmmm... Right, I'm not going to hold my breath for that. Most of my earnings go to buying more 'needed' stuff like -- medicine. I'm not on prescription meds ha! Though they are technically prescribed... well, I can get them OTC (over-

All right, so they didn't forget me after all. My transcription client just sent me new audios earlier. [sigh] Anyway, after I submitted the first finished transcript a few hours ago, I realized that I forgot to justify the page format. Nyee... So, I guess I was a little rusty with my editing there (careless is more like it). Anyway, there were no complaints. Meaning, they didn't return it to be changed. lol! Here's to another late night! Truth is it's better to work nights because it's much cooler and there's less distractions. During the day, it'd be so hot that you'd want to stay in the bath much longer than normal. And my kind of normal is already longer than what most people would consider normal too. I couldn't hog the bathroom all day, of course. lol! But the heat is still bad and I'm starting to feel sticky (because of the humidity) again. I said that I was going to turn the a/c on but... oh well. I guess the lamp's also giving off he

I went on holiday for four days and I'm already on the back burner? That is, of the transcription team, already! Let me just go back and feel dispensable again here... Oh well, I guess that's more writing time for me then. Truth be told, I get paid more for less time that's put in when I write articles. It's true. I noticed that I haven't been so toxic in content writing than I was in transcribing. That's a thought. Don't get me wrong, I'm not about to give up on my client just yet -- they have paid me for the work that I've done and I'm not about to discount that fact. And I do enjoy transcribing for them. This is just new - being on the back burner and all. What's good about this is that I've managed to go over my target number of submitted articles today. When it seemed that I couldn't write anything more about this one topic, I get inspired and I've been writing with gusto. Now, wouldn't it be great if this actually happe

Oops! Again, I forgot to take a picture of our amazing pasta . Sorry. lol! But I did get my cup of coffee though. And there is that speck of pasta sauce stain on my accounting journal -- if you can see that. That won't come off too unless I ruin the page. It's right there, down at the bottom... see? lol! I get sort of "mechanical" when I do bookkeeping. And anyone who's worked with journals and ledgers would attest to what's called "transposition errors" in recording. I'm guilty of that sometimes when my eyes unintentionally wander and I write what I think I was supposed to write in stead of looking at what I'm jotting down. That's like writing 637 in stead of 673. lol! That sucks because you'd only find out as you're doing the totals already and you have to go back to see where the debits don't equal the credits. That's why being sleepy while doing bookkeeping can be very bad. I mean, who'd want to be inconvenienced w
