So sorry for the lack of new posts! The last update on this blog was more than a month ago! The holiday rush was exactly that– a rush. Afterwards, things slowed down and mellowed in January. I think the whole world gets a little lazy in January. I know I did… hence, the lack of updates.
I’ve just returned from almost a week-long vacation in Macau (which was wonderful) with my family. I have to ease out of my extended vacation mode fast… as I START A NEW FULLTIME JOB TOMORROW. It’s totally unexpected and this job offer just came out of the blue, when I wasn’t even looking for a job. Remember my article How I Quit My Job to Follow My Dream? Saying yes to a fulltime job seems contradictory after everything I’ve said, but I said yes to the job after finding out it’s not as much of a 15-18 hours/day time-suck like my previous job (where all my free time was spent catching up on sleep) so that means I still have time to maintain my Etsy shop on the side.
Memo pads and to do lists available on Notebooks, Etc.
I may have to let go of my freelance design/illustration projects in the meantime, but nothing’s set in stone yet. For now I’m turning down freelance projects until April 2010 to get a feel of how I can balance a fulltime job and my Etsy shop.
I still have a backlog of new things and recent projects to post– I’m looking to churn out another post in a week or so!

Hi. My friend and I have been wanting to order the superr cute notebooks from your reseller but they do not reply. :( I wonder if we buy directly from you and pay in peso, how much would it be plus shipping within Metro Manila. :)
Sorry if I made this an inquiry box ~~ desperate mode. ;) Good day! :D
