Hello everyone. I know I haven't been active in a while... I haven't posted much, nor have I been in the chat with full attention. I have entered the chat only to be disconnected due to inactivity or network fail, hahahaha...
It's just that I use every opportunity that I have to acquire more clients in the office - you know, building a network of clients? I have found out that the wife of one of our co-employees also is in the same business as me, so I got to work more. ;P
But in a way, it also benefits me. It aids in the promotion. What he brings are some stuff that I don't currently have... so people get to see products that I don't have yet... I also bring stuff he doesn't. So, if they're more comfortable with ordering stuff from me, I'm available, if not, that's fine. XD
Who would have guessed that I - a person who prefers to sit in a corner, be quiet and surf the net all day and night, would be finding himself in sales? I'm quite surprised myself... hahahaha...
I'm getting feed backs that I explain clearly and gets the message across well.
In other news, my sister was able to attend an anime-related event... but turned out to be an epic fail! Read about it here.
I also got her to contribute her "rant", convert it to a feature article, and submit it to my Other Blog.
Well, the weekend was not that bad... > >
On Saturday, I had a tough yet fun time. It was my first time being the Master of Ceremonies at a symposium (or anything). Things went well. I prepared a script for me and my partner to use as a guide while the even was taking place. A lot of ad lib's were needed, though... But it seemed we managed to pull through. I stuttered at some point, and spoke at 50 kilometers per hour, or something at that speed, near the end when the event went over time. I thought it didn't matter if the people understood or not. I knew at that point they are thinking of leaving anyway.
The symposium was on Stress Management. The last speaker introduced this simple Chinese exercise. It is like Tai-chi, but simpler... With only eight figures. I found it on the internet as Qigong. We all tried it. It was fun and it indeed relaxed the body. The next day, my back was a bit hurting... It must be from the stretching. ^_~
I'll try to find it and share it with you. I know that a lot of people here gets stressed every once in a while.
The important thing I learned is that breathing is an important key - well, more like very deep and slow breathing... It helps relax the body, slow down the heart rate and removes muscle tension.
Unfortunately for me, since our seminar reached up to six in the evening - I was hoping it would end by 3 or 4 from what my classmates were telling me about the speaker's time allotment, I was not able to attend my other appointment (another seminar) for that day. All that de-stressing became useless. XD I was stressed after that... XD
I learned later that in the other seminar, I had nothing to worry about. (Whew!)
I got good feed backs about my task. It was good when people responded to some jokes we threw. Those that failed was somehow saved. (whew)
Our internet is sort of unstable for today... The router is acting up again. It's brand new, too... So hopefully the warranty will cover it... I don't know if I can pop in the chat without getting disconnected too much...
See you around!
Tomorrow's a holiday, on account of the death of our former president, who has been a pillar of democracy in the Philippines. I don't know if you heard of Cory Aquino, but yeah, tomorrow is her funeral.
On Thursday, I will be away to take care of some stuff - among them is our seminar on the Saturday on stress management. I have already made the cover for the invitation last night. It took me a while... I even solicited the help of ichi to critic and give some additional details. It looks good on the computer. I wonder how it will look on print?
Well, be back on Friday. I bet I'll have loads of backlogs. See you around, everyone!
I don't know about you, but not worrying about problems and focusing more on the brighter side of stuff is indeed better. Not only does it reduce stress, it gives me a more positive outlook... And sometimes, just sometimes, I get what I want to happen. ^_~
Last Saturday, we were conducting a seminar and there was this kid sitting from behind the audience with an adult. I can't say if she was his grandmother or mother... Anyway... the kid was seriously looking for attention, and being a pest about it. How was I able to tell? Well, I did not notice it until he took what seemed to be a bracelet and started banging it against the metallic back of the chair.
It was a nuisance! I barely could hear what the speaker was saying, and I bet the other people were too. The adult was not able to do anything about it.
I would normally be pissed off at it, but I just said to myself, "I want that kid to stop." After a few more countless banging of that bracelet, snap! A part of the bracelet broke and scattered on the floor. The adult took the bracelet (finally!) and scolded the kid. No more noise.
See, I did not have to stress myself over such stuff. ^_~ Just look at the brighter side of life, and stop worrying about your problems.
Hey everyone!
Hmm... I know I haven't posted much since the internet got fixed. I was too busy in catching up to a lot of stuff. I still got some backlogs that needs fixing.
I got my website transferred to a new host. Geocities will close on October. Good thing I already started downloading my files one at a time. They mentioned that they will figure something out for users to be able to get their files... you know their solution was? Open your page, save it - or use the file manager. Yeah... very easy... > > I was hoping for a one-click method to get everything out in one piece.
Not only did I manage to transfer to a new free hosting, I also completed the redesign. I placed all of my fan-art and wallpapers there as well, since it is a portfolio site.
Business is doing well. ^_^ I am getting orders from office mates, and they are enjoying the products. Buying and selling is an easy way of earning a profit. We are currently talking with a contact in Italy if they are interested in selling it over there. The products are of export quality, after all. XD
I have yet to upload the stuff I had made when internet was down...
Also, One Piece is heading for a climatic and epic battle. Read, catch up, whatever. It's fun.
Well, that is all for now! See you around!
