Saint Joseph, Pillar of Families

I didn't use to pray novenas.  I always thought that praying directly to God was better.  But I read this passage from the Bible: "The continual prayer of a just man availeth much." - James 5:16 I thought of the matter more and now I see that novenas are a humble way of praying.  It is asking those closest to Jesus (and holiest) people who walked the earth, to pray for me. This is not a new way of doing things as Moses intervened for the Jews when God wanted to punish them for making a bull with their own hands and started worshipping them. I now think God is pleased whenever I pray a novena.    Since then, I have seen so many SIGNS AND WONDERS in myself and in my circumstances because I prayed a novena.   I credit Saint Joseph for my happy home life and also for helping us with our finances though the best thing for me is the way novenas help us to lead holy lives.  The saints want no applause but rather, they will always draw us closer to God.   Instead of idolizing cel

A New Look for Papemelroti Online

Since I was 7 years old, I was already working for our family business and fortunately I stuck it through since this job is the best! I didn't always feel this way, as all teenagers feel the need to stretch their wings and discover new horizons. But by fate, destiny or pure fortuitousness, I am one of the artists at a local chain of specialty gift shops called "Papemelroti".

It's quite an unusual name for a shop I know but that's what happens when a narcissistic streak hits some young 'uns. I was nowhere near coherent being a toddler when they decided to name the shop after the first syllables of the children, from eldest to youngest.

Therefore the names Pa-tsy, Pe-ggy, Mel-dy, Ro-bert and then Ti-na became the ingredients for the Italian sounding but very Filipino store "Papemelroti" (stress on the "mel").

Today I revamped the main pages of our website and it took some doing. If you browse around you'll see that only the links from the main page have been updated so there's still about 500 pages to work through aaaah!!!

Website authoring is such a fulfilling task if only I could have doubled, tripled time to work on it! Alas I still have to fill orders, design new paper bags and prepare for Father's Day displays! That's how advanced my schedule is. It isn't even Mother's day but I'm already thinking about Father's!

Here's what I made today... the front page...It has somewhat of a vintage feel or at least that's what I'd like to think!

Here's a sample of the inside pages...It looks less cluttered (hopefully) and has a better focal point.

The funny thing is, when I got home, my brother, who is also a designer, gave me webpage designs for the site as well, oops! This proves to me that we have similar brain wave functions so as to work on the exact same thing on the exact same day!

Ah well, that's the beauty of web publishing though, I can change the 550 pages tomorrow to the new design (oh really?) but first... sleep!
