The Wais Life

Thank the Rice God I survived!

I CONQUERED BATAD, IFUGAO!

I can proudly say that! Raaaaarrrr! Because my legs are literally aching all over. I can’t even walk decent…I think I will be wobbling like a penguin for the next few (I hope!) days.

But inspite of the physical pain, I highly encourage you to pack your bags and head up north to Batad, Ifugao. Why? I give you a few reasons why…

I refuse to hide behind the mask and choose to reveal the truth

My mentor (whom I do consider as one of my greatest idols) Anton Diaz told me that leaving the comforts of the corporate life is not easy. And for those who think I am living the life and really taking it so easy…I am not.

I most definitely enjoying. I will share the advantages of freelancing in a separate post. But in true Wais fashion, FIRST, I want to share with you the challenges, before all the glitz and glamour of freelancing.

It’s been almost 6 months, this coming March (WOW! Ang bilis pala!) and these are the things that have been a constant tug of war in my head and heart (until this very moment)…

I need money lotsa lots of money!

I know, you guys must be wondering, what da hell do I do to earn money nowadays?!? I definitely do not have a regular monthly salary to look forward to like I had in my previous job. I definitely still have bills to pay. I have feed myself (when I go out). I have to keep myself clean (I buy my own toiletries for my special needs because I prefer natural locally made stuff). You get the picture…I need money. And I am not exactly rolling in it. Plus I am not as blessed as other people who have their parents to help sustain their regular expenses while in between jobs.So I have to make it work…I have to make money.

Before actually getting into the nitty gritty of what I do to make money, I learned some mindsets one needs before entering the world called FREELANCING…

I used to seriously believe in Valentine’s Day. But I was brainwashed by my better half into thinking it is a capitalist holiday. I mean, it is really. Imagine a day where everything you could give your special someone on a normal love-filled day suddenly becomes super duper unreasonably expensive just because it’s Valentine’s Day. AYAYAY! Thanks but no thank you.

But then, there’s this tiny spark in me that still believes in the spirit of Valentine’s Day: romance and mush. Hehehe. Gimme some of that! Even just a tiny bit please? Hehehe. Girly girl pa din!

So since unbeliever si boyfriend, I just daydream of what-could-bes on our Valentine’s Day. Plus since I don’t want to be a victim of capitalist gimmicks, I want to celebrate a day of love and romance the wais way. And here are some tricks of the trade that have crossed my mind this past week…

Trackpad's a mess. BOO! (Photo c/o www.laptopmag.com)

My dahling’s (my macbook pro) trackpad has been a mess for the past couple of weeks. It does seem to follow my drags, clicks, swipes and taps all the time…like it used to. So I tried figuring out the freaking problem by asking around my loyal Mac friends and sort of troubleshooting as far as my powers would allow me too.

Then I just gave up and I couldn’t take the trackpad issues anymore. So I decided to get professional help. Of course, I did my rounds of the authorized Mac Service centers since my dahling is still under warranty (Thank Apple for great warranty!). I wanted to check them all to see who will give be the bestest and fastest service…
