Taking the Leap~! Opened my Etsy Store for Digital Products--- XiaoMeibyMilish

At very last! Last Sunday, I finalized the set up of my Etsy Shop, I have been wanting to share and sell my sketches--- digitally. Since the quarantine started, I have been reflecting on how I can maximize my potential. Thought I'm not new in joining, posting and sharing my works online (Spoonflower, Society6, Zazzle, Red Bubble, VIDA and etc.), I've also posted in other various websites. But I thing Etsy is one of the platform out there that is selling effectively, when it come to digital products, and I was thinking to firstly focus on this product as it has potential in the market. 

I started with postings some of my previous hand sketched works just for preview, though I'm continually working on some new products to post in the next few weeks. Hoping someone would notice and would appreciate my works.

Online Purchase Review: POPCULTCHA from Australia

It has been a while since my last post... again! Having a lot more time now to do some reflections and re-assessment of all the things that I have been doing. I have decided to revive this blog again. 

So to start off, I will be introducing a new website where you can buy toys, toy vinyl collection, board games and etc. I live in the Philippines, so giving my personal insights on websites from overseas on how the order process, packaging of items, how it is shipped and its condition after receipt; I think would be very helpful for those who are planning to buy the same items or related that I bought.

Italian Coffee: Second Chance and Healing

 Before I went here in Italy, I thought that I can't enjoy the simple things to enjoy here like drinking coffee and wines because of my hyper acidity in my stomach that sometimes would lead me to experience excruciating heartburn.

Coffee time at La Menagere, Florence, Italy

Which I got when I exactly turned 23 years old, after having a drinking party out with my college friends. Since then I swore off drinking coffee, alcohol and even softdrink at the same time.

But it all changed when I tried the coffee (caffe latte- a more safer choice because it is more milk content) here in Italy, at first I experience mild LBM but the good thing is that my stomach doesn't react to it anymore. They say like an allergic reaction, you can train your body to slowly get used to the things that your body is rejecting. So that is what I did and it worked!!

My Cup of Tea

My background on tea drinking:
Being brought up in a Chinese family, drinking tea is more of a usual thing more often when eating in a tea house and eating dimsums. Though I didn't notice it at first, I came to like drinking strong bitter tea flavors, because most tea that were served in tea house had very strong and distinct taste like black tea, oolong tea and etc.

I got used it the strong flavors and bitterness of the tea. The more bitter it is, the more I like it. But recently, I'm more obsessed with tea, due to the fact that I can't drink coffee anymore because of my very acidic stomach huhu... *crying inside*.

Never the less, whenever I see a shop that sells different favored teas and in a very cute packaging (must be eye catching!) I confess that I always make it a point to buy at least 1 box. Certified Teaholic! I also make it a point to try various tea flavors for variation and also to really know what tea that I really like to drink.

Wanted: Organization....

Have you ever wondered how other people manage to do their works smoothly and organized? How other students finish their homework on time or even ahead of time? or even how others seems to remember all the things that they needed to do in so little time?

When I was in 3rd year high school, a guest speaker from one of the seminar had given an advice regarding on this topic; on how to organize or even improve your management skills. The only thing that he suggested is to have a PLANNER, start writing down things that you want to remember to do, it is like a to do list.
