  some of life's lessons are not too fun to learn.  Sounds like you're handling it well though.

• queenparanoia said on Jul 01, 2009....

  uniquely: thanks uni. i'm handling it better because i know i have some support from the people that i love. it still sucks though...

  queenie, the hospital cannot be closed to the public, right?
  and the university shares a common campus with the hospital, right?
  so maybe you should consider a secret, pro-active strategy of having your assistant (or you) bring in a batch of barbecues and other goodies into the hospital/university grounds, like a guerrilla peddler.
  i've seen this strategy succeed, especially if you're the only indie food vendor inside...  :-)
  oh, i know there will be some hassles and loose ends in this approach, but i know you street-wise pinays will always have a way to go around 'em... ;-p

  moonriver: well ive been thinking about that but the problem is there is a security guard inside.. and like what i said it was stupid to close the gate... apparantly the canteen of that hospital/school is losing business to us thats why they closed the gate... is it our fault that our food is cheaper and more delicious??? will send you a pm...

  Well at the end of it all, while it's hard and some of it sucks, it sounds like you're taking it in stride and not letting it get you down, and that makes me happy for you Queenie.  You're a strong woman.  I hope that everything works out for you and that either they open the gates again or you find an even more remarkable spot to set up in.  The world has mysterious ways of working, maybe this will be another stepping stone to something better.  I'll keep my fingers crossed for that anyway.

  oh i know how you feel, resist the munchie monsters! they will beat u up later on after the 5 minute enjoyment i know.  Try and stregthen your mind with a different approach than ussuall it helps sometimes....hope it helps but never the less i wish you best!

• queenparanoia said on Jul 01, 2009....

  hegemone: that's what i keep thinking hegemone... maybe something better would be out there for me... well let's just hope so... ;-)

  unicornform: thank you... :-)

  I'm sorry about the set-back, but I was happy to read the part where you said you were enjoying it, in spite of the hard work.  You know I have come to really respect and admire you for your determination and positive outlook that is always there with you, no matter what.  I will be crossing my fingers for your business to not only get better, but easier, too.  You deserve it!
   
  (and I can't add in my head, either!)

  Queenie you are so strong and I know that you are going to make it in spite of all the obstacles, 

• wishyouwerehere said on Jul 02, 2009....

  Unfortunately, Queenie - there are always people who will gossip and backstab, both in and out of the business world.  Stand your ground, be proud of who you are, and don't let anyone bring you down.  I love how you are using your smarts and your talents for something you enjoy.  I hope the campus changes its mind about opening the gates.  Maybe the students can start a movement.  The food at our campus sucks ass and is very expensive.  If they ever locked us in during breaks, I would probably lose a lot of weight (perhaps not a bad thing .... LOL)

• queenparanoia said on Jul 02, 2009....

  wombat: thank you wombie... i dont know how admirable i can be... i'm doing what a normal person is doing and that is earning a living... what i'm doing is just a normal scenario in my country... thank you for your words though... ;-)

  msstar: thank you... :-)

  wishyouwerehere: you know thats the main reason why they locked the gates! because no one is buying in their canteen... is it our fault that their canteen is so expensive??? well i hope they changed their minds most of my loyal customers are student...

• gingersoul said on Jul 02, 2009....

  Queenie....as i see it...you are lucky to have discovered so passionately that you belong to a professional field at so young age....
  .
  Now you have all your life in front of you to get better, bigger and successful.
  And you will make it...:-)
