The jobless me

@louievill We actually have a sari sari store. But other neighbors have them too so the buyers decreased. My mom cooks peanut adobo and i tried selling them before when i was working. Good profit

Yes. We tried doing the barbeque business. But we stopped due to tight schedule of my mother. Now I am still thinking of a good business. Do you have something in mind?

@adnileb sometimes business that we do should be based on our talents and what we enjoy doing. Barbecue is a little time consuming cause you have to watch over it. For small capital perhaps you can cook adobo peanuts or boiled peanuts to repack or make polvoron, at least you can put this things in a bag to make " alok" to your friends until you make a base of regular orders, you can also supply it to " sari -sari" stores

They said before, they will only down size.. but then, it closed. Many employees lost their job.

@cacay1 yes. Sad. The friendship and the money... all gone

@adnileb so sad,

@adnileb That’s good to know then. If you’re still in the 30s it’s easier to get a new job. But if you’re older it’s harder. If you can find online better because it would not take you to commute every day.

Yes. We were paid. It's what I use now for everyday expenses. Soon, I would like to have another job. I just want to take this opportunity to relax and just spend time with family.

@rsa101 I am 34 now. I guess a little early to retire. Been searching for good online sites but nothing beats mylot.

Money is really important for the family to survive. As of now, I am still enjoying my time with my son.

@adnileb I understand how money is important to survive. I know that very well.

@adnileb Yes it is important for people to survive and not just a family. I am glad you are enjoying your time with your son.

@Bensen32 Good thing you won the custody over your son. Yes, it will be really hard but the result is overwhelming. You get to be with your son as he grows old.

You are right. Being a mom is a forever job. Even if I have a real job, I still do my job as a mother. The moments shared are really priceless.

@adnileb I was a single father (divorced and had custody) for 5 years and it was hard but wouldn't have changed it for anything.

Why did you go home? Did you finish your contract already? Salary here in the Philippines is sometimes not enough. When I was still working, I still have sideline jobs for additional income.

Yes. I agree. Everything goes well when you pray. It also helps you clear your mind of worries. Whenever there is good, there is bad.

My son is 3 years old. My mother took care of him while I was working before. Now, my husband is looking for a job since we both lost the job.

@hereandthere YES. Sad to say, we are on the same company. And yes, luckily, we were paid for our years of service.

@adnileb oh, i thought you just gave birth and he's an infant. when you say you both lost your jobs, do you mean you and your husband worked for the same company and you were both let go? i hope they paid you for your years of service.

Yes. This will take only for a short time. Praying that my husband can get a job soon.
