Most of you know that FraternalTies is mostly a one man operation. Fabric design, web development, photography, digital artworks, email exchange, etc- I handle them all and I love it! However, for the past few weeks my performance have been very terrible. I am sure that many of you have noticed the significant delays in responding to emails, no new products are being introduced- not to mention the tardiness in the processing of orders, and my facebook postings have slowed down to a trickle. With the recent relaunching of our website, I had hoped that things will be more manageable but I was wrong.

 

I am aware that some of you are concerned and some are understandably frustrated. For that I am trully sorry... I feel really bad but my hands are tied... I would not wish this situation that I am in upon my worst enemy. I obviously can't go into details but let's just say that with every step that I make on this mosaic pavement, my foot always seem to land on a black tile.  This tile that I am on right now is so big and wide it feels like a sinkhole with no end in sight.

 

I am writing this to ask you for some understanding while we go through a particularly difficult time in our life. I fervently hope that you will still be there when we get back on track.

P.S.
FraternalTies was not founded with the accumulation of money in mind. If it was, I would have bombarded you with cheap, easily made, and easily sold products on a weekly basis. I would have not spent countless hours designing artworks which I publish online free for sharing and download. But FraternalTies to me is more than that. Please remember, when sending us an email, that it is a Brother (and perhaps his wife and kids) who will be reading your email and not some greedy salesman whose life revolves around making a sale.

Bittersweet

I am one week and 4 days into my new job. Glad that after almost two years of a fulfilling journey as a fulltime stay-at-home dad, I am now once more back in the workforce. Once again ready to serve my nation and pay my dues. 

But this joyous occasion was recently marked with intense sorrow. The death of my father. He passed away just 3 days ago, October 23, 2012 at 3AM. The news of his passing put me in state of disbelief. I shunned myself. Got scared of ringing phones and too afraid to check my email and Facebook. I didn't want to hear about it over and over. Maybe I'll wake up soon and my pa will still be alive.

For the time being I am suspending all the projects that I am working on. I may also be unable to respond to your messages right away. If it is something that is really urgent, you know how to find me.

Keep Calm and... Square Your Actions

1 Comment

 Anyone who spends a good amount of time online have probably seen the "Keep Calm and ..." meme posters. I googled its origins was pleasantly surprised to discover the historical significance of this meme. It was produced by the Government of the United Kingdom in 1939  during the Beginning of the Second World War. The original text reads "Keep Calm and Carry On" and was intended to raise the morale of the British public in the event of invasion. Here's my take on this historical artifact and now a popular meme:
