Chasing My Baking Dreams: A New Skill, A New Oven , A New BusinessđŸ„° ENG/ESP ‎

Furst practical from my baking classđŸ„°, the puff was so nice đŸ„č

‎A few months ago, I made a post about wanting to get a new oven, but fortunately for me, it was during my second-semester holiday, which was quite long. I thought hard and long, as I mentioned here, and received some advice that I should pay for the baking class during the holiday and then find a way to save money for the new oven later.
‎
‎
‎
‎
‎In a nutshell, my holiday was fun and impactful because I got to learn a new skill, get a new oven, and also get a brand name for my business(which I didđŸ„°). It wasn't the best in terms of finance but thank God I'm still holding up.
‎After paying for my baking class, I did a few practicals, and later couldn't meet up with the expenses, so I had to take a pause. (told my teacher I would continue next year during my holiday, by then I'd have a little money to continue).

‎
‎After months of cracking my head on how to get an oven and start my business, I took out a loan from my big sis to get an oven for myself and I'm super grateful to her đŸ„°...
‎
‎
‎Have you ever had an encounter with these bus drivers when you waybill? So here's how it went down between the bus driver and me.
‎

My new babyđŸ„čđŸ„°đŸ€­

‎
‎ After paying 30k for the waybill, this bus driver had the guts to tell me that I would have to pay another 15k before my waybill would get to me 😂😂, and that's approximately another $11.
‎ Immediately he said that, I just burst out laughing ( the Nigerian in me couldn't help it😂😂) I had to give him gbas gbos. The bus driver was surprised and angry at the same time. He was even threatening to take my oven to his house and that I'd never see it again if I don't pay.
‎
‎
‎I wasn't in the mood to argue with him, so I just jejely called the vendor and told her everything, and that I wanted my new baby in one piece. After long hours of back-and-forth calls, I finally got my oven in one piece without paying any extra money.
‎I told my sis about it, and she said that's how they normally do it, to extort money from people
.

VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL


‎Persiguiendo mis sueños reposteros: una nueva habilidad, un nuevo horno, un nuevo negociođŸ„°
‎
1001130314.jpg
‎
‎Hace unos meses, publiquĂ© un post sobre mi deseo de comprar un horno nuevo, pero, afortunadamente para mĂ­, fue durante las vacaciones del segundo semestre, que fueron bastante largas. Lo pensĂ© mucho, como mencionĂ© aquĂ­, y recibĂ­ algunos consejos de que debĂ­a pagar el curso de reposterĂ­a durante las vacaciones y luego encontrar la manera de ahorrar dinero para el nuevo horno mĂĄs adelante.
‎
‎
‎
‎
‎nzEn resumen, mis vacaciones fueron divertidas e impactantes porque aprendĂ­ una nueva habilidad, conseguĂ­ un nuevo horno y tambiĂ©n obtuve una marca para mi negocio.* No fue lo mejor en tĂ©rminos econĂłmicos, pero gracias a Dios sigo aguantando.
‎DespuĂ©s de pagar mi clase de reposterĂ­a, hice algunas prĂĄcticas y luego no pude hacer frente a los gastos, asĂ­ que tuve que hacer una pausa. (Le dije a mi profesora que continuarĂ­a el año que viene durante mis vacaciones, para entonces tendrĂ­a un poco de dinero para continuar).

‎
‎
‎
‎DespuĂ©s de meses dĂĄndole vueltas a cĂłmo conseguir un horno y poner en marcha mi negocio, le pedĂ­ un prĂ©stamo a mi hermana mayor para comprarme un horno y le estoy muy agradecida đŸ„°...
‎
‎
‎¿Alguna vez te has encontrado con estos conductores de autobĂșs cuando vas en autobĂșs? AsĂ­ es como fue la conversaciĂłn entre el conductor del autobĂșs y yo.

‎1001130316.jpg
‎
‎
‎ DespuĂ©s de pagar 30 000 por el albarĂĄn, este conductor de autobĂșs tuvo el descaro de decirme que tendrĂ­a que pagar otros 15 000 antes de que me entregaran el albarĂĄn 😂😂, lo que supone aproximadamente otros 11 dĂłlares.
‎ En cuanto dijo eso, me echĂ© a reĂ­r (el nigeriano que hay en mĂ­ no pudo evitarlo😂😂) y tuve que darle gbas gbos. El conductor del autobĂșs se sorprendiĂł y se enfadĂł al mismo tiempo. Incluso amenazĂł con llevarse mi horno a su casa y decirme que nunca lo volverĂ­a a ver si no pagaba.

‎

My new babyđŸ„čđŸ„°đŸ€­

‎
‎No estaba de humor para discutir con Ă©l, asĂ­ que llamĂ© tranquilamente a la vendedora y le contĂ© todo, y le dije que querĂ­a mi nuevo bebĂ© intacto. DespuĂ©s de largas horas de llamadas de ida y vuelta, finalmente conseguĂ­ mi horno intacto sin pagar ningĂșn dinero extra.
‎Se lo contĂ© a mi hermana y me dijo que asĂ­ es como suelen hacerlo, para extorsionar a la gente.

‎¿Alguna vez has tenido algĂșn encontronazo con estos conductores de autobĂșs al pagar un albarĂĄn?
‎
‎
‎¡Pues sĂ­! Tengo mi horno nuevo, que me funciona perfectamente đŸ„°. Cada semana publicarĂ© mĂĄs novedades sobre mi nuevo negocio. Estad atentos y crezcamos juntosđŸ„č đŸ„°.
‎¡Ah! Y de hecho he grabado un vĂ­deo del unboxing que publicarĂ© la semana que viene đŸ€­.
‎¡AsĂ­ que podĂ©is felicitarme! đŸ€­đŸ„°
