monday, monday

Behind the dark cloud is Mr. Sun! I need to see the mr sun - I need to see the goodness out of the bad, and "the beauty in the tragedy" as what my df puts it nicely.

Statistics say that Monday is the most stressful day of the week. It's the day of the week when most people admit themselves, or go to the doctor/hospital for heart ailments. It's triple stressful when a Monday falls close to a weekend.

I am feeling this stress really badly. From people at work.... to dear mil at the pcu... to the .... I know I will go on and on at this... I am going to stop now.

The new mantra for me is: "I can't control anyone but MY actions."

historic inauguration

I wish I can find the video I made of the inaugural speech that our new president made. I thought it was interesting to watch in the future.

I will keep you updated if I found it.

Election Day

I've heard and seen a lot from both sides of the party. If I was to vote, I will not tell you who I am voting for! I'll keep it to myself. This is a very delicate an issue for most people and I am in no way would judge any one according to who you believe will lead you. I hope you all the best.

I pray that the one worthy for the position would win. I hope that people would see beyond boundaries and would vote for the people they care about to lead them to the right path.

God Bless America! tfr

home parties

I wonder what you think about home parties... I make handmade jewelry on the side and made a lot of them. Now, I am contemplating on selling them at home parties (maybe). . . Anyway, I share this idea to a friend of mine and got a reaction that made me think about it again.

According to her, if you go to home parties, you are obligated to buy the product and it is "not nice" not to. But my main reason to have a home party is to share my talent and expose my product to people. If they like it and buy it would be nice too but I would not be offended if they won't like my product or they won't buy it at all. How do I make it so they won't feel obligated to buy? My opinion about this whole obligation thing is that - most people want to be "nice" and not offensive to the host by purchasing an item they won't ever going to use and they don't like even just a bit. I think that would be more offensive.

Anyway, in my own little culture, it's okay not to buy anything at home parties. Be honest to yourself and the host sure will appreciate it. I know I will. To the hosts of home parties I went to and did not buy any, I apologize if I have offended you by being honest. I thought of apologizing in person but this friend of mine suggested it would not be a good idea. I think she knows better about the culture than myself. I am still learning the culture I am in.

I don't mind learning at all and I don't mind being wrong. Being wrong is just another chance to learn. I know I learned something new today.tfr
