Bead Jewelry

My friend used to design earrings, bracelets and necklaces using chamilia beads as a hobby and later on for profit. She also gave them away as presents for friends, teachers of her kids, and relatives here and abroad. She also sells them abroad through her siblings based there. She creatively designs each piece to make a beautiful set of bead jewelry.

We haven’t seen each other for a long time, but we managed to catch up on each other’s lives through phone conversations. She is a friend and I can tell here anything until now.

CHOCOLATE GIFT

Hubby and I used to receive big baskets of groceries including corporate chocolate gift from my previous company (PJI). Aside from that, we also get gift certificates (GCs) from different advertisers. Instead of cash, advertisers pay PJI with GCs for the advertisement published in three newspapers such as People’s Journal, People’s Tonight, People’s Taliba and Women’s Journal. The management used these GCs as gift or as payment for delayed allowances of employees.

GCs and chocolate gifts are good, but the employees need cash, especially their 13th month pay.
