Saturday was a really happy and relaxing day for me.  I sat in the van with my children while the driver brought us to Makati.   We had a comfortable ride.  The interior improvements made it seem we're in a brand new car.  The traffic wasn't so bad from QC.  I thought to myself, my children are lucky.  I have money to spend in my wallet.  I was able to get an art piece from an artist I've been following.  It was bliss. The next day, all the contentment I felt from the previous day was drawn away from me.  Once again, I am reminded of how some people can be so insensitive and selfish, of how things can be better, etc. Can't it always be Saturday?

It was all a blur.  I am still running the EV business and the eye clinic, apart from singing and motherhood. We bagged a major client and are still in the process of fulfilling the order.  Our major supplier still has problems with the production schedule and it has caused major hiccups down the line.  I am praying and staying hopeful that we will be able to redeem ourselves. The eye clinic celebrated its first anniversary.  We have helped a lot of less-fortunate people, to say the least.  I am thankful that we are earning and helping at the same time.   I am quite satisfied that we can also give livelihood to well-deserving people.  There is still room for growth but we are not being greedy. Our partners have plans of expanding to other areas.  But this is still up for review.   We've been asked to be more a
