freelancing,
me, myself and i,
shopping I am itching to shop online! Can someone please stop me? I kept getting these unexpected projects and whenever I finish and get paid, all I can think about is where to spend them. I should be saving all of them so we can pay off the loan we took two months ago. I promised myself it will be fully paid before the year ends but I honestly didn’t know I may be able to actually do it. I should probably treat ourselves by spending 30% of my earnings and save the other 70%. It’s definitely a win-win situation no matter where you look. We can still save money without depriving ourselves.
But while writing this, I realized I may be overthinking this a bit. I’m still high from getting all these projects and might have to wait for the urge to spend to die down before buying anything.

freelancing,
work Oooh the perks of having to work from home. My client/friend just called me and asked if I’d like to meet up for lunch instead of dinner. He has my laptop already so I immediately said yes. Of course, I’d still meet up with him even without the laptop but maybe not as fast.
Anyway, back to perks. If I’m working in a real office, I wouldn’t have time to go out and do whatever I want, anytime I want. I only had to wait for my boss to log off and sleep (it’s night time in the US) so I can get ready to leave. I love not having a strict schedule! Aside from having the freedom to do things on my own pace, I find that I work better if I know that no one’s waiting for me to finish. This is why my favorite time of the day is 1PM-onwards because I’m the only one online on our Jabber chat.
