birthday gift

Would you know where I can find Mechanix gloves? The husband is looking for one but not for his personal use, but as a birthday gift to his Japanese boss. As his boss very active in car racing, and loves to tinker on machines, he wanted to give him the mechanix wear original glove as a token. Hard to find, but definitely the best all-around glove providing control and protection to the user. Cool gift, eh? Now if I can only look for this glove here in Manila ...

All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten

This is a nice read.

I saw this from my daughter (now in Kindergarten) school paper and I find it really true to it's word. No matter how old you are, when you go out in the world, these golden rules applies. This is very apt in our everyday living. And as a leader of our company, must practice this mantra.

All I Really Need To Know I Learned In Kindergarten
by Robert Fulghum

Most of what I really need
To know about how to live
And what to do and how to be
I learned in kindergarten.
Wisdom was not at the top
Of the graduate school mountain,
But there in the sandpile at Sunday school.

These are the things I learned:

Share everything.
Play fair.
Don't hit people.
Put things back where you found them.
Clean up your own mess.
Don't take things that aren't yours.
Say you're sorry when you hurt somebody.
Wash your hands before you eat.
Flush.
Warm cookies and cold milk are good for you.
Live a balanced life -
Learn some and think some
And draw and paint and sing and dance
And play and work everyday some.
Take a nap every afternoon.
When you go out into the world,
Watch out for traffic,
Hold hands and stick together.
Be aware of wonder.

This coming December 2011, we will have another wedding in the family. This time, it will be from the husband's side. His cousin will finally tie the knot at Pasig Cathedral by December ... just in time with the holiday season. Great, another December wedding in the family. As the groom is based in UAE, and will be away for his wedding preparations, he requested that I will be in charge with all the wedding essentials. From invites, venue, food, the brides' gown and bridesmaid dresses ... everything! Now I am excited! As I will be busy again with wedding project. And I simply love happy celebrations!
