I was about to post a fashion-related stuff, but it was an epic fail. Anyways, even though we are not Catholics, we respect the tradition and beliefs of the Lenten Season. We spent Good Friday together (for those who don't know, we (Me, my hubby and xiao jih) are living with my parents, 3 sisters, one brother and 4 dogs, a few died last year and this year) , had some chit chat and binignit . Later we will be watching movies. Well, this is how we usually spend our weekends except the binignit. The remains of the "isang kawang" binignit It is quite disturbing that Holy Week nowadays, is not the same when we were still young, where even staying at home and watching movies will make you feel it's Lenten. A time for repentance and honoring the death of Jesus. But nowadays, people take the long holidays as an opportunity to have a break, go on vacation or staycation (stay at home vacation) as they say. TV stations do not show the usual religious programs or movies, bu...

Woke up quite early today and stumbled upon on a Facebook page, My Child Mean Everything To Me . Brought me to tears scrolling through the pictures they have posted. Indeed, nothing compares to motherhood... from the moment you felt that little bump in your tummy, it was joy, excitement and yes, worry. I remembered that night I knew I was pregnant. I was unprepared, I had a lot of plans (yup, that's me, the great planner!), but... I got pregnant. And it was the most excruciating pain I felt. I have always wanted to be a mother, but not that time. And I did not want my baby to feel that. After a while, and a talk with my mother. I felt better and got more excited each day. I prayed just like any mother would, for complete set of fingers and toes, a whole body, no diseases. Everyday that was my prayer, and every day I waited for that moment my xiao jih will come out. Being a mother is not a choice, it is our fate, our destiny, it is God's choice. Some women don't get to be ...

I have not been improving on my photoshop skills, because I'm not really learning...:(  Hahaha...anyways, here are a few of my creations... :)  OLD & NEW

We're planning, yes, the  A.B.Normal  team on a wedding for our dear friends, Rain & Nelson. Who are actually my ex-crews back in 2008-2010 at Jollibee Panabo Highway. We're hoping they'll approve of what we have in mind for them, a classic movie inspired wedding theme in gold and blush pink. I never expected that gold and pink would be so beautiful together. Below are some inspirations of what we have in mind for them, other pictures are available in our facebook page, which is here - (Rain & Nelson Inspiration) . Can't help but to be excited for this and the prenup photoshoot. Help us pray for this project and for Rain & Nelson that they would have an exceptional wedding at the lowest budget they can ever expect. :)

I was about to sleep when my alllergic rhinitis forced me to stand and drink water (which by the way, i seldom do...yup, drinking water). Anyways, before I stood up I was thinking about the 2 jobs I left at Odesk. It was not the pay that I was thinking, since they are only paying me $1 max per article, but more on the experience. But I have to leave since it made me sit in front of the computer the whole day, so much for resigning and making time for my son. But more than that, I felt I had to stop, because I realized that it was wrong. My first Odesk job was to write 20 sets of poems, which was a good thing for me, since I haven't been writing since. And it made me think and write again creatively. But after that, my next employers made me write reviews for products I didn't use, and a travel article to a country I've never been before. Is this Internet writing? Can we still believe the things that we read here? Even our local and national news are not to be trusted. And...

Halu! I've been terribly busy for the past days, because my fingers have been really full. Yes, fingers, since I was writing articles for 2 employers at Odesk. I would just stop, when I feel like blood is running down my nose (Yes, sunggo!). I've been learning a few techniques on article writing and keywords. I thought it would be really difficult, but I find it easy now, after a few articles. And though, it has been really brain-draining, because I'm not your typical complicated word writer, I found it easy to write with the use of Google and Shift + F7 on Word. :) Anyways, we will be celebrating our 1st Year Anniversary on  the 23rd. And as a Thank you to our dearest and beautiful customers we have a 10-day Anniversary Sale. So, if you want to grab some items, please feel free to visit our FB page, Mei Mei's Closet .

It's past bedtime again, I can't seem to sleep early these days. And what's sad is my son sleeps late also. Well, anyways today I wasn't so busy. At Odesk, I was offered a job which turned out to be a spam and probably a scam, so I withdrew my application. Better beware of those mommies. At 7pm my sister and I left for some Ukay (Bargain/Preloved Shopping) for my hubby and for me, and yes, for the online shop. Can't help it. It was so overwhelming to see so many clothes on the street, but I did not bring extra money. So I guess I have to return tomorrow. By the way, it's Araw ng Davao Celebration, so there was a lot of happenings in the downtown area, which caused heavy traffic, as expected. We arrived with a bunch of goodies, and none for my hubby (haha!) ata round 10pm, took our late dinner and back to the computer to man the online shop. And tonight before I'm going to bed, made a new look to my shop with a new cover photo and profile pic. Tada! ...

It seems 400 years since I last blogged (well it was technically 4 long years, here in blogger), and alas, my blog has a new look, new feel and a new name. Thanks blogger/blogspot for making this easy for me. Anyways, on this new err, renewed blog, i shall be blogging about my little adventures as a home-based mom. New learnings, new friends, new sites, simply a journey of a home-based mother. I do hope you'll join me in this travel as I venture the home-based world after 12 long years of employment. So let's get it started. Online Shop First stop, I have already relaunched my online shop page which is  Mei Mei's Closet , which is celebrating it's first year on March 23. And yes, we're on SALE! Having an online shop is no joke moms, it surely is tedious and needs a little bit of your patience and time. Nonetheless, if you like to shop and you have a love for fashion, clothes, shoes, bags and more; plus, you have a cabinet full of preloved clothes that you know...
