Time Fly Fast!

I am on a mission. 

As the February started there are several issues that I have to deal with. 

One of them is my career. 

Although my status is still on the waiting side, the date of my last working day with the company has been decided. 

Two months from now, new challenges and environment is a welcome buddy. 

With the decision over holding on to a particular job been settled, I am on the roll to depersonalized my office space and remove all my things out of there. 

My target date of complete clean office {no personal things that would not fit my purse} is until the end of month. 

It means returning all gadgets to the office as well,like USB and portable HD. 

And since we expect some financial changes for this new stage in my life this blog will be more active as I realized its use for times like this. 

 Today, there are changes on this blog.

I changed layout.

Added Feeds and used Feedburner. I even maximize all of its feature. 

{I will be writing a full post about tweaking blogs for better traffic later} 

For tomorrow, here are the things that I have to do:

1. Finished the " Favorite Links " page
2. Add this blog to Technorati
3. Grocery Day 
4. Financial /Home Management Organization
5. Credit Card Payment

That's for a busy Sunday. 

We will be attending the Sunday service and will probably visit the organic market near the lake later. 

Have a Blessed Sunday.

Projections of 2011 on Wednesday

This is going to be a very busy day for us all here in the office. 

Today is our planning workshop for the remaining months of the year. 

To keep my busy mind from getting too much stress here is my supposed to be örganizer/planner notebook. 

I did say homemade, right? 

Please excuse the blurry smartphone photo.

 without rings or bind, I am yet to decide if it will be ring bind or those three rings used on this

a closer view of the tabs

this is the reason why lazybug caught up with me. 

Last year I was invited to judge a costume party for one of the friendly agencies that we have few projects and they gave me this as a token. 

The perfect size of planner that I have  been looking for. 

Just small enough to fit into my handbag. 

But big enough to have this:

yes, that is a calculator. 

I love its functionality because it can always be pulled out whenever I am doing some shopping.

I wont take credit on the 2011 planner. I downloaded the pages from here and changed the cover with a design of my choice but still incorporating the tree/bird design.

I am linking this on What Ever Goes Wednesday link party

Opps, I think since we are on Philippine time it is too early for Wednesday Link party for me.  I did add mine anyway.

Project Prospects

I had a crazy week. The workload is heavy but somehow it still made me feel like I have never done them before. Two months away from the job (commitment-wise, if you catch my drift) makes same job exhausting once you go full time again. I can not blog that much so I am posting prospects for projects at home.

On the good news, we were able to get the house and lot. We are now on the process of looking for funds to add for the initial down payment (we do not want to wipe out our savings and our loan will not cover the down payment). I will be posting photos of the house this weekend.

Here are the new links:

1. easy to do tutorials (for beginners):

{via Mr&Mrs.Phillips}

2. More on for little kid (boys) craft and nesting

{via CookCleanCraft}

3. Inspiration and tutorials

{via MadeByJenn}

4. MadebyJenn made a camera strap that I want to do and she got the tutorial from {PriddyCreations}

There you have it. Hope you will enjoy your weekend. Have a great Friday.

Printing Frenzy

Now that the comprehensive exam for the my grad studies is over and all that keeps me busy now is the thesis, I am so excited to get a good look on my printable list for Mr. GM. 

and of course for Moms out there and working wife.

Here are the list of the blogs that provides free stuff. 

Get them now before they are gone. 

Sometimes, the free downloads are so pretty that they have to be sold on etsy, so if you get to them a little bit late they will never be available again for download. 

it would have been okay if I am in the US but living far from the source of the list means missing having those pretty papers you can write with.

by the way, to make this more accessible I am adding a new label and the label cloud will be available as well on the sidebar. 

You no longer have to scroll on the list that I have on the sidebar. 

just click the label printable and you are all set.
