Old toys

Remember these toys?

These are the same toys that I placed inside a sack and plastic bags last October. I made a post about it here on [insert name of platform or website]. My kids planned to sell them to the children in our neighborhood to raise money for Christmas. Unfortunately, the mini garage sale did not push through for unknown reasons.

Some of these toys were bought cheaply, but they hold sentimental value to both my children and me. I still have second thoughts about letting them go.

This year, I plan to donate these toys to an orphanage, as my friends have suggested. I hope to bring some happiness to the children in the institution, even for just a little while. 🙂

Project delay

I was expecting my friend to call me yesterday regarding the project (Microsoft localization). She said she will send me the style guide and glossary as basis for the project. I’m still waiting for her communication until now. I’m not sure if it’s a sign of another delay. But we are all targeting May 3, that’s tomorrow, to begin the translation project simultaneously.

If say, the schedule will be moved for a couple of days, I might use it to run my errands including the review of prototype 37-c which is nearing its deadline. I might also use the day to enroll my kids and niece to school and buy school supplies for them.

Enrolment woes

Leave a reply

Opening of classes is the time of the year when parents normally get excited and apprehensive at the same time. They get excited because their kids will be entering a new phase in their lives as a student. They feel anxious if there are reports of tuition hike and increase in prices of school supplies. All these things happen beyond are control. So in instances that an additional financial support is needed, some parents resort to using their prepaid visa. In our case, if push comes to shove we’ll just have to use our credit card. (Like what I wrote in my previous posts we maintain the card for emergency purposes only.)
