Rain Rain Go Away

"When it rains, it pours" is such a cliche.

I can't believe this cliche applied to today's weather.

The loud rain pour woke me up this morning. It has been constantly raining these past few weeks in Cebu, but I noticed that the rain today was harder, the sky darker and the day gloomier. It was also windier and colder.


I immediately realized that going to work would be challenging. Commuting to go to the office would not be a walk in the park. I think it would be worse than my unfortunate experience last Tuesday when I was soaked in the rain and I had to bravely walk through the flood. It was so gross! Good thing I was able to wear heavy-duty shoes and I had slippers under my desk. I want rain boots and a rain coat!

I was so relieved when I was informed that we could work from home today. It was good thing my job can be done anywhere in the world as long as I have a working computer and a good internet connection. Thank God for technological advancements As I have mentioned in my FB status, working from home is both a blessing and a curse. There are a lot of temptations to fool around, sleep and eat rather than write or edit. hahaha :D I'm just glad that I was able to resist the first two. Even though the cold weather made me extra sleepy, I finished my tasks. I have to admit, though that I am extra exhausted today. I have not been getting enough sleep lately and I blame coffee and chocolate addiction. I am quite surprised I still managed to write this blog entry, as well as promote my blog giveaway.

Mother nature is telling us to change our ways. I just hope tomorrow will be a better day. Be safe!

A Lovely Patron's Blog Post About Neekul Beanies

I accidentally saw a blog post of a buyer about my beanies! I really don't know what took me so long to see this. Anyway, when I finally got a chance to read it, I was so touched with the positive things she said. I would like to thank Kaye for taking time to blog about my beanies. You look beautiful!




Here's what Kaye of http://cravingopinions.wordpress.com had to say:

Hey everyone! Look what I was able to pick-up while I was in Cebu for the weekend? Finally my very own Neekul Beanies! I had to wait for these babies for 1 whole month and I ordered 2 of them.
I got one that’s in Royal Blue and Lightish Grey. They’re awesome and really cute! I love it! :)

The cloth has very good quality and it’s worth the wait.
What’s best about it is that it’s custom made! So I can assure myself that I have mine as one of a kind!

Very satisfied with my beanies! The seller(Nicole Lorenzana) as well was very polite and patient with me. Thank you so much for your time, and yes the 1 month was worth it.
If you guys are interested, you can view their Facebook page for more photos and for her clients orders as well. :)

“I WANT THAT BEANIE!” Neekul’s Blog Giveaway

Good news to all bloggers!

PLEASE READ EVERYTHING!

I am Neekul (Nicole Lorenzana) of neekul.blogspot.com. Currently residing in Cebu, I started this blog on May 2010. To start 2011, I am holding my first blog giveaway! Hoooorrrray!

As the owner of Neekul Beanies, I am giving away one beanie worth Php 300! The particular beanie that I would be giving away is this khaki slouchy beanie! This color would go well with any stylish outfit you own! Not only that, if you’re living outside Cebu, I would gladly mail your beanie to your doorstep for free!



The giveaway is open to all Philippine-based bloggers using BLOGSPOT, WORDPRESS, even TUMBLR. Submission of entries is until 11:00 p.m. of January 31, 2011. I will draw the winners on February 1 and I will post the lucky blogger at 8:00 p.m.

Why did I decide to handover one of my creations? Here are the reasons:

1. I believe that this giveaway is a great opportunity for me to get to know other web writers. Not only do I love writing, I also enjoy reading other people's works and learning about them in the process.
2. Other bloggers would get to know me as well! I welcome others to my world through my so-called writing.
3. This would also be a good way to promote Neekul Beanies.

Good Luck!
