  February 2, 2024 - Day 36 Dear Readers, Four years had passed from the last time i updated you regarding things happening to me, to my career, business and life. I am now managing full time my 5 online stores through platform Lazada, Shoppee and Tiktok. Though, competition in this field is very tough to a person like me. I am a Business Person but i am shy to face camera with crowds so mostly my sale comes from Offline Selling Store instead of Live selling. Btw, i closed my Trading Business already due to Pandemic as it hit me too hard, No sales at all but inquiries too many, i am only wasting time accepting queries but in the end no sales to be concluded. Tough but it is the reality of life. Just 2 months ago, we had visited Hongkong & Macau again. The country were too expensive to compare from 10 years ago. 10 years ago you can enjoy a Starbucks at only 4hkd per Grande now the inflation went up more than 500 times the past 10 years. This is too much increased if you would c...

June 20, 2012 - Day 31 Dear Readers, Finally, today i had settled the first ever transaction, payment has been received from client and payment has been sent to supplier. I was so happy for this achievement. Although, transaction was not inserted within the company sales due to the fact that the bank account will only be received once i receive the Mayor's Permit or City permit. Now, i am working on to save around 2200 USD, enable me to gain access to Alibaba Gold Supplier. It is tough but fulfilling. I will give you more updates soon! Tnx for reading, KSM 

June 19, 2012 - Day 30 Buenas Dias Mi amigos/amigas, Today is a happy day, i have received last night the first payment/transaction of my trading business however got sad that i couldn't o any payment today as i cannot withdraw more than 10,000AED within 1 day, it is bit dis-appointed that Bank is putting this kind of rules in UAE. What if an employee is having more than 10,000 AED salary and he/she has an important transaction to make and it will cost to pay more than that amount within 1 day and it cannot wait for another 1 day enable to hold or complete it? It happens to me today, i was so happy that i could settle payment to supplier today, but i couldn't do it today as i am allowed only to withdraw 10,000 aed in my account as Cash. Please we need to inform the Bank to raise the limit for some rush things that we could not wait for another day enable us to execute. If you want to share anything related on what i am blogging, kindly put it in the comment and i will...

June 17, 2012 - Day 28 Dear Readers, Today is Holiday here in UAE. I stayed in home all day and work with personal stuff. This week i earned around 650usd at online. I have some market review for specific topic of 1 country. It is tiring however it's worth the returns. Until now my 2nd order for my own business is still on progress, hopefully i can close this contract as well as this is very important sales not to think that it is about 4 containers order from China to Algeria for specific product. I am just waiting from the company to transfer the courier charges and i am ready to send the samples enable them to decide whether to get the product to me or not. Hopefully, they will confirm this coming week the charges expense i am waiting so my thoughts will move to a more positive views that the 2nd order is coming. Earnings will be good but i am looking into the satisfaction it will implied towards me once it is closed at the earliest. Happy to share things so if you wan...

June 16, 2012 - Day 27 Hola Readers! Today is something different, i spoke with with the GM in my office and the raise was approved not from May salary, it will start from June.

June 13, 2012 - Day 24 Dear Readers, First, let me greet my one and only Father a Happy 55th B-day, if he is still alive, sadly to say he died more than a year ago. Bless his soul almighty God. Let's get back to my updates! I am so much happy yesterday, i closed my first ever contract inside alibaba. First transaction quite small but the fulfillment to have one just 1 week after i got my license makes me more confident that my success is not to be an employee, it is something that i have to do it myself. Earnings at my first ever contract was around 500usd only, however i was so much satisfied already. Currently am working with a huge order so don't have much time to update all my blogs. Assuring you that i will try to update it occasionally especially uploading new forms that i created. Be patience my dear friends-readers will try all my best to accommodate my blogs as well. Wish me luck for the next order, and hopefully it will be soon! Tnx for reading, KSM

June 4, 2012 - Day 23 Dear Readers, I am so much happy that i today i got my Business License from DTI, now i can able to start doing in real what i wanted to do. Trading at online for any kinds of goods. Please watch out, i will be uploading it soon! Nothing much to say as i am having so much trouble to find time updating my blogs...Readers please bear with me! Tnx for reading, KSM

June 1, 2012 - Day 19 Dear Readers, How are you all? Today is somehow different, i went to office and work as normal although i was not feeling good to go to office due to reason that i and our accounts had small discussion about certain transaction.  Bottom line, the day went smooth, i am happy as 1 of my European supplier trust me and they sent the original documents even without paying them in full. Imagine they are waiting for the 70% final payment from my company that i am currently working as Purchaser.  It is an added strength for me within my persuading skills that supplier is trusting my company/me for a huge amount of money in our first transaction. I will discuss further about this issue... Tnx for reading, KSM

May 31, 2012 - Day 18 Buenas Noche Amigas, Got late to post again, i was busy finishing one small project at online. Today is my off, and stayed in Home only. Nothing much to say, i woke-up around 9am and do my things, its is mostly home stuff. What i did the whole day was sleep and eat, then eat and sleep. Funny but there is really nothing to say much... I'll talk more tomorrow i guess! Till next time again! Night, KSM 

May 30, 2012 - Day 17 Good Evening Readers, While the clock is near to hit 12:00 midnight, i decided to post my updates regarding my life for today's update! I was a little dis-appointed as my increment regarding salary has not been approved this month. Maybe by next month as per my Boss words. So, i am kinda, sad, no projects from online and salary is not even enough to cover all my expenses for every month.  Hay, i need some extra work so that i can fit my income to my expenditures. The whole day is happiness, i think i laugh a lot today, i ate sandwich in the lunch and Dinner. As i told you i am on a diet now, so i am really controlling my eating habit. However, i am happy as i am seeing the results slowly from my figure. I am seeing the old me slowly, sexy, voluptuous and yummy... Hahaha!!! But dont laugh, it is true i was once a very fine and attractive lady, but that was few years back, not until i gained more than 10 kilos within the span of 5 years here in ...

May 29, 2012 - Day 16 Dear readers, Today is a bit boring, whole day there is nothing to do in my office, however once i reached home i saw my online progress project closed, this is the project which i waited for 4days regarding payment and feedback. I was so happy to see her message and of course the small amount of dollars credited as pending in my account... Again, i am working with another small project so hopefully i can get it as well enable me to keep myself busy this coming weekend... Nothing much to say, but i smoke so much today!!! Tnx for reading, KSM

May 28, 2012 - Day 15 Holla! I was sorry again for not posting my diary on time, i was sick and need to take rest. I am not sick sick, maybe my body wants some pleasure, so i took a day-off from office and decided not to come. I had a body pain due to menstrual cycle this is the reason why i am so much lazy and dizzy i guess...and wasn't able to work and update my blog... Forgive me readers, as much as i wanted too but i couldn't!!! Anyway, on this day, though i was not in office i worked more than the hours of my office updating and communicating with my suppliers. I was extremely exhausted when the clock turns to 11pm then i stopped working. Yah, you can say i am a workaholic so much, as aside from my office job, i also do some online jobs, which is really fun at first but now i am taking it really seriously as i am slowly planning to return back home and put up my own trading business. Who knows maybe my luck is not becoming an employee instead becoming myself as a B...

May 27, 2012 - Day 14 Hello my dear readers, At my home now, watching a teenage movie, tired from office without doing anything related to work maybe around 5 hours, oh gosh i just waited for the time to reach 5pm and went home. I passed to carrefour and bought some stuffs, i found the lotte stick bread with chocolate i like much, so i bought 13pcs which stand for my father's b-day date.  I feel so much tired the past days, dunno why? Having a hard time....God, help me to get good project at online enable me to pay the dues required on time. Anyway, i am planning to sleep early so that i can have enough rest for tomorrow's work again!!!

May 26, 2012 - Day 13 Hola Mi amigas, Again sorry for not posting the happenings of the Saturday, i wasn't able too as i am rushing to finish the small project i've got from online. Huh, tiring but fulfilled  because i had finished the cropping and re-sizing of around 450 images/logos. My hand were terrible couldn't move a bit, and till now the client is not updating my payment. So i am hoping by tonight she will update the project as well as the feedback. By the way, i had a bad day yesterday, early in the morning me and my GM had a minor discussion for a particular issue of order in my division. On my case, it is my division, i supposed to take all the responsibility prior and after approval. So, i guess, he is only in the mood to do such things of mild confrontation on my behalf. Anyway, what i did i just kept my mouth shut and did not say except, "Okay Boss, will acknowledged it"... Gosh, i feel i was in the mood of having a temper of 40 degree as th...

May 25, 2012 - Day 12 Hola Readers, Today is Friday, it is my off-day or break from the office work however i still work although i am in home, i work with office email communication as well as with my online part-time job. Guys, got a small project and so far half-way finished on it. I accepted a job without any upfront now, due to the fact that it is really hard to get job from online. Lots of competitors whose bidding less than the project amount, they are from India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal and even my fellow Philippines contractors they also bid smaller than the project amount. So the employer choose them than to have a contractor whose bidding more than their budget price for the job. Gosh, i will not just bid without analyzing the whole project, some project looks like easy but it is deceiving sometimes.  Anyways, i woke up so much late today, around 1pm i guess, then i cook food for myself and ate it alone...Boring and no appetite as eating alone is not good, bu...
