Working on Holiday😊 Most of the establishments in the town that we passed along the way to shop were closed but I decided to open ours late than the usual store hours. We opened the shop @ 10:30 am earlier. We don't usually close the shop on holidays since we started it and this is our 3rd New Year! Yes, praise God for sustaining it. My son initiate the sweeping outside because the leaves are falling as if it is on fall season😊 What are you doing on this holiday? Maybe you…

Playtime with Strippey!! Strippey, the clingy cat with the gang were stray cats that we fed inside the shop until the shop served as their shelter until now and grow their family.My son gave him the name Strippey because of his color. They met again in the shop earlier and played.
Unexpected gift in New Year!! As agreed, no gifts and extra expenses or snacks from 7/11 for December because we spent for my son's birthday party and bicycle, at the same time I bought some household stuffs.Our budget for December was compromised for something unexpected to be settled, in short we were so hard up last month but God is so faithful that we lack nothing and everything was supplied. Before the year ends, we received these shirts for my son and truly God is…
It's a Prank!! Early this morning, my nagpark ng sasakyan sa tapat ng shop tapos may iiwan daw para sa certain person na ipipick up lang sa shop. Ang binabanggit nyang name ay di namin kilala so lumabas ako out of my curiosity at baka importante ang iiwan na yun. Nakita kong bitbit ng lalaki ang plastic na nasa 1st picture so I'm thinking na yun lang ang iiwan kaya nagmagandang loob na akong paiwan at dun nalang pick upin. Me : " Cge sir pakisabi na lang sa pipick na dito…
Starting My 2022 with readcash Hello readcash users and hello 2022!! I decided to start my year here in the platform. I want to enhance my writing skills because I can express myself in writing than speaking. Maybe one of the reason is, I can have enough time to write and I can undo or rewrite if I change my mind. Unlike in speaking, what you spit out will always be the final and you can't get it back. So for me, writing is the safest way to express myself. Be with me in…
Fitness Time It's Tuesday and I am taking my day off. It is our schedule to have stroll and chance for my son to ride his bicycle. What's new today? My mother go with us to have a walk. At least she come with us voluntarily. Everytime I ask her to have a walk, she is making excuse maybe because she is not in the mood. What is up with your Tuesday?
Grocery Time We went to the grocery to buy supplies for the month. I let my son experience doing the grocery and to observe him how he behaves in the grocery store. In the food section, I let him choose or pick what he wants but the good thing about him is, he asks my permission whatever he picks. After doing the grocery we headed to the tricycle terminal and ride the 1st one in line. But I don''t know what feel when one of the drivers asked me kung saan daw kami bababa so I…
I just want to thank @Markos33 for being my first sponsor!! I am grateful for the effort and encouraging me to write though I have not yet published a good content it is all in my drafts yet. I will do my best not to disappoint you. See you around and God bless you!!
Tipidtip na Effective My budget is so tight so I need to be into details of my expenses. One of those expenses is the household supplies. I posted yesterday that we went to grocery to buy household stuffs. I listed what all the items I need to buy and bring the exact amount of money that is only good for the grocery items I listed. I did not bring a bag or any extra money because I know that grocery store is a place of temptation (you know what I mean.lol). Having no extra…
To perfect for Satisfaction I know how to make "Embutido" but I don't know how to perfect the commercial embutido. Yes, I am trying to perfect my embutido because want to sell it. I made 2 kilos of embutido, wrapped it and steaming at the moment. I am waiting the finish product to taste it and to have my costing later. This 2022, I will be exploring into food business. Another experiment and investment so may God bless it.
Unloading the Overloaded Heart How is your heart? Our heart plays an important role to both physical and spiritual health. The Bible says in the book of Proverbs 17:22 "***A merry heart doeth good like a medicine but a broken spirit drieth the bones***. Our heart defines our feelings but we are the one decides what to feel. Being happy or sad is always a decision. It is always your choice not the circumstances or situation you are experiencing. If you have a happy heart…
I mentioned yesterday that I was making Embutido for quality purpose. I just finished the wrappring today and I tried to slice it for frying. I am happy that I made it perfect when it comes to taste and texture. Got the right proportion of the mixture and has the right firmness when sliced. I am into costing for now so that I can have the SRP per piece. For 2 kilos of pork, I got 30 pcs. I hope I could come up with the quality but affordable price. The target market will be…
I'm maybe afraid of tomorrow, But my God told me not worry about the morrow and let it worry itself (Matt. 6:34) These past few days, I am wondering how life will be for the coming days with this another surge of pandemic, the school set up of my children, my source of income and my everything. As a mother, a wife, a daughter and a sibling there are so much to worry about. We don't really know how the future will be but then there is God who is in control of everything that…
Who does not wear jacket right now? Whoaah! I salute you for that!!🤭 I opened the shop without taking a bath. Lol! Maliban sa tinanghali ako nang gising, malamig din talaga. Until now kahit may araw na, malamig parin talaga. Nagkape na ako sa lagay na yan. Thanks to the coldness. We save in our electric bill for almost half of our regular bill. Sana panahon lang malamig hindi ang relasyon nyo.Char!! Happy weekends!!

Convo with Hubby( Returning OFW) Me : Ga, when you will be home , pwede bang ikaw na ang tagalaba?🤭 Him: Sure! Kahit matulog ka na lang at susubuan pa kita. Honestly, I hate doing the laundry since then. Kahit ngayun na naka automatic washing machine na kami. Ako na lang magluluto at maglilinis wag lang talaga maglaba. Sobrang matrabaho kasi para sa akin ang paglalaba yung iisipin ko pa lang na maglalaba ako, pagod na agad ako.lol! Who can relate? Kaya grateful ako na may…
Online class back on the tract We just finished our lesson for last week. It's a bit late but at least we did our best not submit for the sake of compliance. It is just that we had our Christmas vacation hangover. Lol! Everything seems back to normal, I mean when it comes to school schedule and activities. Time flies so fast and we are on the 2nd week of January. So how is your goal, are you starting to take an action plan or two weeks are wasted🤭
Lesson for the Week - Community Helpers Given project: Let your child make a speech "When I grow up" about his/her favorite community helper. After explaining about every community helpers work, my son chose to become a "Farmer" when he grow up. He is thinking that being a farmer is a doable job in his early age. Yes, we will be having a "poging farmer" in the future. Online class be like😊
Fiesta!! Everyday everytime I prepare our pack lunch, I make sure the gang (cat family) has their own food pack but today I forgot to bring their food. I went outside to buy fish for them (kahit yung bulok na) but the fish vendor gave me the smaller size of the fish that mixed with what they are selling. I boil water and pour it to cook the fish. And Viola!! They have an instant fiesta!! Happy to see them enjoying the food!! How did you weekend started?
It's Sunday and it's church day! My clingy son went with me to open the shop after the worship service . As expected he gets bored for a short time he is in the shop doin nothing. As he gets bored he will be asking to play or watch youtube so that was the reason why he wanted to be here and get bored. Sana all youtube ang makakatanggal ng boredom😊
Sabog pero may Ngiti parin Broken, disappointed, discouraged or whatever situation you are in just smile😊. Just like what I did, I am not faking it but I am just claiming God's faithfulness. I am blessed more than my anxiety, I am blessed more than my worries. Just share a smile, you are not alone. Your smile might give hope to others. Iiyak pero ngingiti parin😊 Good noon and enjoy your lunch pipz!!
15 Hrs of videocall in a day?! CCTV lang ang peg. Musta naman ang data ko? Ang homesurf199 ko na may 22gb hanggang kelan aabot? Mapa Sana all ka ba o mapapa OMG sa gastos?lol! Maybe you are wondering kung ano pinag uusapan namin sa ganun katagal na VC, actually wala naman.he is doing his stuff and I do mine.

What is up for Lunch? Look how yummy I got for lunch!I bought fresh "tulingan" for only 150.00 per kilo. Eto ang pinakamurang fresh na isda na nabili ko so far. Yung ibang isda kasi hindi bababa sa 200.00 pesos. I decided to grill some para maiba naman and I prepared spicy sawsawan..whoaahh!! Sira na naman ang diet at may partner na pickled radish. Mapapakamay ka kapag yan ang nasa harap mo. Enjoy your lunch pipz!!

What's in your mind everytime you wake up will determine your whole day and will conclude your night. Think good, think a goal!! Be productive in every way. Always bear in mind that you cannot blame anyone in whatever circumstance you ended up because you have your own mind and freewill. Think God, ask guidance from Him as you start your day. What's in the picture? Listahan po yan ng utang sa load. A reminder na hindi lang dapat listahan ng utang ang meron ka, make a list of…
I am up and preparing to open the shop. I have enough time to take a bath but my body and mind is battling whether I should or not!? I am taking my coffee o feel warm before going to the bathroom but when I checked out my coins.ph wallet, it made me even warmer that I can take a bath right away. Whaaahhh!!! Prices in the crypto world is on fire. Good thing is, my wallet is empty🤭 so nothing to worry!! Take note: Always know the timing when to let go and hold on . Happy…
Taking a selfie and happy to see that I look great in it but look at my white hair!! A bunch of white hair are visible in side part of my forehead. So I am getting older and it can't be hidden by the hair dye or plucking it might make me bald.lol!! White hair means a lot of experiences and wisdom I stored. As we get age we learn a lot that is why you better seek advises from the oldies than your friends. A blessed Sunday Pipz!!
Time is the solution. In cooking food, you have to wait a certain time to cook it properly. Time requirement for every dish is variable. Some needs longer and some a shorter time but you cannot shorten or lengthen the time required. It could be over or under cook. In medication, you can take every tablets, capsule or syrup in a single dose. It will take you days to complete the prescriptions and so as healing and recovering. In investment, for sure you cannot gain anything…
Pritong Saging na saba😋 Kayo na bahala sa black coffee nyo, sagot ko na ang saging pero pwede din naman milo or energen bsta wag na lagyan ng asukal kasi may asukal naa ang saging ko.lol!Almusal namin sa store para maiba naman sa makunat na pandesal (Char!). Tawag ng anak ko jan, "banana na flat". So how is the dip of your wallet? May idi deep pa yang dip na yan? Hahha..Masarap lang sa feeling ang walang inaabangang rise and dip eh.. Pero sa holders, keep holding tataas din…
Before I left home in the morning, I posted a note with 50 pesos for my son's snacks because we run out of supplies for his snacks. I did not have my grocery because I was on duty for 5 straight days. His prayer request every time we do our prayer time is to have enough snacks everyday. When I am home, I checked my posted note with the 50 pesos. Guess what happened?! It was not touched!! Whaahh!! My kids are not used with the money actually, that is why they never asked…
Morning persons can't stay on bed more than 5am. I am awake at 5am so I get out of bed, have my coffee and cook. Supposedly, I can sleep longer today because Vine will open the shop and I don't need to rush this morning but my body can't stay any longer on bed. I have an extra time so I am preparing my ingredients for my embutido. Yes, I will be doing my 3rd round of testing and finalizing my home made embutido. Wake up! Wake up! The earlier you grind,the more productive you…
Check the picture and that is the exact state of my mind at the moment!!! Unfinished tasks is waving, I made up my mind to finish or wrap my embutido today and I started it earlier but I cannot push through smoothly because calls,texts and my messenger keeps on popping up from and to clients and Vine..whaaahh!! My day today will surely be long because of the lined up chores, activities to be done and unexpected errand and transactions may arise. I might be stressed up and…
As I finalized my embutido, I came up with steaming it using charcoal to lessen the cost without compromising the quality. The price of LPG nowadays is quite higher so the cost in food business is quite affected. When I tried it earlier, it only cost me 15 pesos steaming 14 rolls of embutido. Steaming an embutido lasts up to an hour to cook so LPG is not a good source of fuel in cooking it. Lower cost means high profit and that is always the basic principle in business. Good…
It's Saturday and my 2 kids are with me opening until closing of the shop!! For now, this will be our kind of bonding. Everytime they are in the shop it costs me a lot or above more than the usual because I need to bring lots of food to keep them alive the whole day but it is all worth to have them with me. Happy weekends Pipz!!
Girly look, no more!! My son used to have a long hair with at least shoulder level or below but last month we decided to cut to look like a boy. For more than a month now, he is enjoying his look that he initiates the picture taking. The picture was taken earlier before we go to church. In the afternoon we attended their "Star Sunday" (monthly school program every last Sunday of the month).
Monday, month end Grind!! When I was an employee, when deadlines cut offs come I felt pressured to finish my reports for submissions, payments and approvals. I even extend my working hours without extra pay just to finish and set everything done and get ready for the next period. When I am the owner, the feeling is mutual with deadlines and cut offs but not for submission, payments and approval purposes but for the report itself. I still needed to rush on time for analysis…
