Unfortunate Things Happened and A Glimpse of Hope for Sinulog Shirt Printing

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

Yeah, I'm fucked with Unfortunate Events

With my intention to make the printing of Steemit Sinulog Shirt as a non-profit initiative, I am facing a big loss and big losses for printing it. I expected to have a stable value for SBD at $7 each to make the cost of printing breakeven. Look at SBD's price now, on the brink of $3.00 per SBD.

Number 1 unfortunate Thing

So today is the deadline for shirt orders and I am finalizing everything. From buying the raw shirts, to delivering them to the printshop, and be able to pay the fees plus negotiate to claim it by friday. I am again facing another tough challenge. The supplies for white shirts still didn't delivered. Sigh.

Number 2 Unfortunate Thing

I was about to go home and the shop texted me that they have available TEENS and XS sizes. So I immediately went back to the shop and bought the shirt. They mentioned the shirts will be delivered today or probably tomorrow morning. A glimpse of Hope

Then I immediately went to the shop to deliver the shirts (lacking shirts) and they said two bad news :

  • They increased the printing of shirt cost (per piece). Another loss of mine. Sad but true.

  • They said they can't print the shirts on time because of large volumes of orders they got. I already negotiated with them and paid a partial payment just for the shirt to be on time last Monday. Sad.

Number 3 Unfortunate Thing

Luckily, one of the staff there is a member of an organization I handled way back 2015 (Association of Working Scholars). She mentioned they will do their best to provide the shirt prints this Friday. A Glimpse of Hope Again.

Shirt design will be followed as is based on what was given. But they need to wait for all of the shirts before they start printing. So I need to wait for the supply to come. If not, it will be a disaster. But I know God is good :) He will provide it.

Another thing is that when I mentioned them the Steemit Pins, they ran out of stock. The supplies will be delivered next week so no Steemit Pins for now. It was sad, but I can't do anything about it. The personnel in charge last Monday mentioned that they have a lot of Pins. 😭

Number 4 Unfortunate Thing

Though a lot of things happened unfortunately, I am still positive and smiling 😁. No problem, all of these things I relied to him (above).

Good post

Sayanga ui. Pero everything happens for a reason.

Whatever your decision sir @jassennessaj I am willing to support. I am sending my sbd to avail the steemit tshirt.

Keep the faith, I think at the end of all these unfortunate thing today, everything will be okay. :)

Shirts are still there guys :). Ma print lagi ni. 📣📣📣

Yes I know the value of Steem is down but I believe certainly it will rise again

The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. Don't worry :) @jassennessaj

In every endeavour, you'd have ups and downs. Just focus on what you intend to achieve and everything will fall into place. I am going to get a shirt and a hat. Not in large quantities though. 😂

At least all this bad luck makes for an interesting post. That's one fortunate thing!

The shirts are not that important @jassennessaj.
Our main purpose for joining the event is for the service that we can provide during the Sinulog Event and not the shirts that we are going to have.
We know why there is a delay anyways so, cheer up!
:D :D

But sad to say, your wallet is affected. Ouch!
:(

commended!

wla na bang ibang tshirt printing na mas okay? grabe ang baba ng sbd ngaun, abunado ka nga kung ganon 😱

It is awesome to see how much effort you are doing for steemit! I hope you can make them before the event starts!

Ma pe print yan sir aabot yan! Ikaw pa!.
yun lang sir abunado ka na :(

Kaya pa yan! .. kapit lang besh😁😊

Im so sad coz sbd is going down :'(

Oh no :( :( Hope everything will be okay :( God is good so think positively :)

That's the power of positive mindset. Congrats bro..hapit na sinulog.
