Everything, in control.
Sunday, 22 March 2009

The weather was good today. I had a good time walking to the church for the 11:30am mass and walking back home. My niece have beg off from joining me. She has probably slept late again last night.

I went inside Drug Fair to buy some needed stuff. Two pairs of socks and a loofah. I was looking for a warmer but did not find any. I was looking for a certain chocolate bar but did not find it either. I ended up getting a bar of dark chocolate. Are they closing down? I was thinking while I was walking in every isle of the store. I got the answer when I got to the cashier.

"Do you have a Drug Fair card?" the lady asked me.

"I don't. How do I get one?" I asked. I was thinking, since I have been buying a lot from them, maybe I could benefit from such card.

"You can't now. We're closing down. Walgreens have bought us," she explained.

"Oh. That'll be good for you guys, right? That's a good change." I said.

"I hope so," she said with a smile as she handed me my receipt and some loose change that I requested.

Yep! There will be a Walgreens near Camp German soon. Should check Drug Fair again and see the stuff that they'll be putting on sale. I hope they'd put all their socks on sale. *wink*

Today, a church in Jersey City would have this 3x10 feet banner that I did, hanging:


There's a rally (so I heard) and I was, in a way, a part of it.

I just hope that although the school is closing down, the sanctity of the church would remain.

Change is happening everywhere, every day. Just like season, things change. We change.

Things may heat up like summer. We fall. Our hearts would sometime freeze like winter. But by His grace, we spring back. Whether it is a good thing for us or not, we will have to accept it to get by because change is a way of life.

According to some people, recession will last for two years. Hard fact.

"You might die working and still you're earning nothing," I was told last night. I was trying to ignore this person's messages the last couple of weeks. She still wants me to get a baby-sitting job.

"If that's the way it is... so be it." I said. People die everyday.

If I could give people what they deserve to have, I would. The sooner, the better. But I have nothing right now and I couldn't do something about it, can I?

Sometimes I wish people really know who is in control. God is.

Oh well.

Today, I did a pretty well job (giving myself a pat on the back). I'm done with the 1-page banner ad. Now I can move on to my next task. One day at a time, I am moving forward. Thank God, I am moving forward!


Note to self:

  1. (as reminded by RG) In creating a brochure/banner for printing, image mode should be in CMYK. So that explains it when we went to the printing shop and the colors of my brochure went darker than I expected-- I used RGB mode.
  2. You know this Registered symbol? I used to create it manually in 2 layers. One layer for the circle, another for the letter R. Funny, I was chatting with RG today and asked him what font to use to get that symbol. It wasn't Wingdings. He's mentioned about FontViewer so I could see all my fonts. So I downloaded FontViewer for Macintosh, installed it and tried using it, only to find out in the end that to get the R-symbol, I just have to press the Option + R keys. Google is now my best friend! LOL! And guess what, I didn't have to get FontViewer at all because GreenApple has its own application called Font Book. That says it, I don't really know GreenApple that well. Full of fun stuff!
Woks! Gotta start workin' on the next task now. I am glad I brought with me my Color Index book (by Jim Krause). Now what I need to concentrate on are the contents and the concept. The bloody part would be the contents, by the way.

The only thing that is not well-managed right now is my time. I am useless when it comes to domestic chores now. *sigh* I am just glad I could still do dish-washing! It's an addiction that I couldn't really get rid of.
