manifesto for 2013

January Kit - work of heART

I have subscribed in the monthly kits of Lasting Impression and I have never been disappointed with their kits. 


 
I just made the kit for January 2013. 


 I can say the kit is value for money.


 
Iris Babao-Uy  is so awesome in putting together product from different lines and making them all come together. 


She designs the pages for the kit each month.

 

Full Disclosure: I wrote this blog post myself, and it expresses my own opinions.

 i attended the Webster's Park Drive class of Iris Babao-Uy, a certified instructor at Lasting Impression yesterday.  I learned new techniques again and I am so happy.

Prayer of an Anonymous Abbess

Lord, thou knowest better than myself that I am growing older and will soon be old. Keep me from becoming too talkative, and especially from the unfortunate habit of thinking that I must say something on every subject and at every opportunity.

Release me from the idea that I must straighten out other peoples' affairs. With my immense treasure of experience and wisdom, it seems a pity not to let everybody partake of it. But thou knowest, Lord, that in the end I will need a few friends.

Keep me from the recital of endless details; give me wings to get to the point.

Grant me the patience to listen to the complaints of others; help me to endure them with charity. But seal my lips on my own aches and pains -- they increase with the increasing years and my inclination to recount them is also increasing.

I will not ask thee for improved memory, only for a little more humility and less self-assurance when my own memory doesn't agree with that of others. Teach me the glorious lesson that occasionally I may be wrong.

Keep me reasonably gentle. I do not have the ambition to become a saint -- it is so hard to live with some of them -- but a harsh old person is one of the devil's masterpieces.

Make me sympathetic without being sentimental, helpful but not bossy. Let me discover merits where I had not expected them, and talents in people whom I had not thought to possess any. And, Lord, give me the grace to tell them so. Amen

i won a mini-Ipad Yahey!

ALOG & Company celebrated its 30th Anniversary at Acacia Hotel last December 19, 2012.  One of the event's highlights was raffling of pest control equipment such as Swingfog fogging machines, B & G Sprayers and misting machine, there are other major prizes which  includes ipads and mini-ipads from syngenta and bayer.


When i saw Joan Cruz, Alog's representative I told her " i haven't put my name yet in the "tambiolo"..i am representing pest-away can i put my name? for i want to win a mini ipad"...  Joan gladly wrote my name and drop in the box.

i bought a tory burch case

I guess i was one LUCKY BUG.  Hector Loho - country manager of Syngenta called my name winning an iPad.  

i also bought a matching case for my iphone 5 (arriving soon! i requested my friend Iries from canada to buy one for me and she is arriving this dec 29 yehey - the iphone is an early wedding anniversary gift from my hubby - we are turning 18th this 2013)

Actually i ordered a mini iPad in the states with my husband's name engraved on it for his christmas present.  So I just requested Alog & Company to just reimbursed the amount i paid for the mini-Ipad. Yahey! it's really a Merry Christmas 2012.

I am so grateful!

I so love my personalized Erin Condren Life Planner to keep me organized this 2013.

I am such a stationery person. I love wonderful papers.

Naughty Or Nice?

Tis' the season to be jolly with my friends from high school. A Christmas Dinner party was held at Nuvo Restaurant in Greenbelt. We were lucky to have Gina Lontoc-Alberto who is based in Abu Dhabi to attend the party with us.



 

The Christmas Gift Poem

It isn’t the flowing ribbons,
draped and curled with extra care,
or the fine and fancy bows
tied with ornamental flair.

It isn’t the label on the box,
the sum of money spent,
or anything that shows the length
to which you obviously went.


The beauty of a Christmas gift
cannot be seen at all.
For the loveliness of giving
is a feeling, grand and tall.

It’s the genuine offer of love,
the yearning to make a connection,
a show of honest gratitude,
a display of sincere affection.

The biggest gift I have to give is my friendship. I can spend time sharing memories. I can create new memories.

If someone isn’t worthy of my love, then a gift won’t change things.

Happiness is not about having the hottest gadget or the best kitchen or the sleekest new vehicle.

Happiness and joy are about treasuring family,  friends and relationships. Merry Christmas klasmeyts!
