Ugh…my hard drive really needs a clean up. Well, it is not literally dirty, but it is messy. As in messy, like our room. There is just so much stuff everywhere. I can just imagine stuff on the table, on the floor, in the toilet, in the bathroom etc. It is like that in my laptop. No organization at all. Well, the system is, there is no system at all. :-p

Anyway, I would like to be able to sit down and spend maybe half a day just to sort out through my thousands of files and properly sorting them. They need to be placed in properly labeled folders for future reference. Additionally, I need to do that because my laptop is part of our home’s computer network that is linked to our store. That means my husband and his staff can access my computer. So if they need a file from me, it would be easier for them if I have directory sync. They would not have to scavenge through my files or use the search option every time.

Sigh…But when would I really have the time? Huh? When?

In between changing nappies and feeding my baby, when is the right time? I know it is now, but well I am still blogging.

I am a freelance artist cum advertising professional. People and companies in our community hire me for things that they don’t know or don’t want to do. And since I am freelance, it could just be about anything. That’s okay, as long as I am earning, I am not complaining. I get to keep my hours and stay at home also take care of my baby.

Before I got married, I had business cards that I gave out to people. Now that I am married, I no longer have business cards. Yesterday, after I have done the sticker name layout of my baby, my husband said that I should already start making my business cards. He had been telling me time and time again to make myself a business card. But honestly, I could not bring myself to doing it because I don’t know what to put there anymore. I have been checking out business cards online in the hopes that I will get an idea. But to no avail.

It is just that I have been doing so many things that it seems unnatural if I list them down on my business card. For sure I can do a lot of things, as many people ask me to do layouts, handle events, go to the market, buy them stuff, do their scrapbook, etc. But it is confusing when written down on a business card.

Oh well, I will have to eventually get to doing it if ever I will continue working. For now, I will just evade my husband’s queries about my business cards.

I am a new mom with a 10-month-old baby. I am also in my mid 30s. It has been like 15 years since I have graduated from college with a four-year bachelor’s degree course.

I had been wanting to study some more, but not to gain any masteral or doctorate degrees. I just want to hone some skills, like creative writing, designing, or even culinary arts. The latter, I still continue to learn by studying online, like doing research online, as I don’t really have any intentions of opening a restaurant or making cooking a business. It is merely a hobby that I want to do for my appreciative family who likes good food.

Anyway, I have come across the idea of getting certified for a certain course online. However, I am not sure of these sites if they really offer real online degrees. I don’t want to be scammed. I have been scammed online many times before and in terms of education, I want to have good value for the money I will be paying them.

I like the thought of getting an online education because I am a stay-at-home mom so I like the flexibility of the hours. And most of all, I can do it in the comforts of my own home. I don’t have to go out and leave my child at the mercy of sometimes incompetent caregivers.

Right now, I am still figuring out what course to take, whether it be writing or designing. But maybe this year, I can get on with it.
