I love to do men's work. Maybe it is because when I was a child, my Daddy were always out of town for work so Mom and I needed to do some chores which were supposed to be men's tasks. I find carpentry a fun job so I thought of doing it over the long weekend. While seriously accomplishing my mission, I thought of paying myself as a reward for a job well done. I worked for one day and a half (from Saturday afternoon until Sunday night; with breaks in between, of course!) so in a P300/day basis, I accumulated P450 from doing the chores myself.
The next day, which was Sunday, I alone finished my two-week load of dirty laundry instead of hiring a laundrywoman. In other words, I again earned P300 that day. It was really fun to earn money knowing that you were making good use of your idle time. Let's give that credit to my Mom because she's the one who taught me to value time, money and effort.
I also had my pedicure done by my personal pedicurist called "self." If I go to a salon or call my neighbor Madi for a pedicure service, it would cost me P50. I took it as a challenge to clean my own nails and guess what? I succeeded.
All in all, I earned P800 for my hard work and productivity just within three non-working days. I congratulate myself for the accomplishments. Now I can tell myself, "Balato naman diyan!"
