The Big Day.. Fashion Show is Near!

It's been a couple of weeks since I last wrote a blog. I became busy and if I don't feel like writing, I am not forcing myself.
Well, fashion show night is very near. I felt a lot of frustrations and disappointments. But I am no stopping. The best is yet to come. This is a start of something great.
I created a facebook account (ysai.perea@yahoo.com) for my collections but I am not posting anything yet.. I will, after the fashion show..

I don't have sleep yet. I was not able to make accessories for the show because I was busy making ck's project, proofreading reaction paper and making basti's project as well.

I still have my work,  starting a business and I am a single mom. It looks like it is a lot of work,yeah, but seeing all the results, I feel contented.

I just finished watching Eat, Pray, Love starring Julia Roberts. For me, i liked it. It is all about taking chances and risks. It is a fact that we can't get all what we wanted. What matters is acceptance of the things we cannot change..

I can't think straightly now(haha). 3:28 in my pc's clock...

I will write again soon! xoxo!

PLANNING 101

Four steps to achievement: Plan purposefully. Prepare prayerfully. Proceed positively. Pursue persistently.-William A. Ward


Everyday, I spend 2 hours and more just to go to work. For others, it is tiring and a waste of time. Others ask, why don't get a job near your place or get an apartment? Sometimes, I think about it.I still love my job,so I don't want to quit and I don't want to be away from home.


Since I am very serious of putting up a business, while inside the bus, I am doing something. I am PLANNING.


I always believe that goals/dreams without a plan, is like fighting in a war without a gun. 


On my way to work, I have my pen, small notebook, my ipod and a book. Whenever I think of an idea, I write it down so I won't foget it. Currently, I am reading Robert Kiyosaki's Conspiracy of the Rich- The 8 New Rules of Money. 


Planning is preparing. It is not just about preparing of what you need to do to start your business, but to keep it for the longest period of time. And that is much harder than starting. If Plan A didn't work, you should have a Plan B and a Plan C.


My camera is not working so I can't show you yet my sketches, my plans and my marketing strategy. I found sites that might help those people, who are like me, that would like to start their own business.

Those are few sites that I already read that might help you. Since I am an aspiring businesswoman, I take steps one at a time. Big things came from small beginnings.

I believe this quotation, for me, it applies to anything...

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." -  --  William Jennings Bryan
