Christmas wish

Got tagged by Jovie.

Here’s something nice to go around to spread the spirit of Christmas as early as now. Starts here. It’s so simple. Copy the photo below then write your blog and your wish this Christmas 2008. Your wish has to be something PRICELESS and SELF- LESS… something that money can’t buy… something that another person will treasure dearly.

1. Bits and Pieces by Jan: I wish Gino and I will be able to convince friends to help us sponsor a simple Christmas party for the children of White Cross Children’s Home in San Juan.

2. The Wifey Diaries by Jannesse : My birthday falls on the 22nd of December. I have always wished to spend it with orphaned or abandoned kids. I’d be super happy to spend my birthday with them. That way, they get early Christmas presents from me. Oh, and can I wish for a baby, too? Please?

3. The Versoza Inc. by Con: I’d like to have a simple Christmas party for all the children of our employees. Times were hard on our company this 2007, but still, the Christmas Spirit should not be overpowered by it. Christmas is about family. So our Christmas party should not be for employees only, but for their families as well. Also, I wish our clan would make it a tradition to have a Christmas gift giving project. My Tita Doi started it last year with the Antipolo church children. I am looking forward to this year .

4. Mommy On Top: I wish I could help a couple of kids (both are related to my kids’ nannies) finish their education so they can, in turn, help their family earn a living. I could try and help them find a job, but without finishing their studies, they can only go too far. With a diploma or at least some certificate of formal education, they could do so much and reach farther. I hope my efforts in hooking them up with this certain NGO will come out with favorable results.

5. Coffeenchoclate : We hope to sustain an extended help for a few elders and be able to increase aid to another few elders before the year ends.

6) My Yoga Mat by Christine: I wish that we would have a great Christmas in our new home (we'll be moving to Tarlac before the year ends). I also hope for my son to have a great birthday (this december also). And that I could be able to provide and help my husband ( I need a job!)

7). A Multiple's Choice by Jov: First of all, I wish my entire family good health and continued prosperity :) I also wish I can give out cool presents for my family, something they really want to receive. Second, Keith has been wanting to sponsor a Christmas party for an orphanage. I hope I can organize one in his name as a surprise gift for him. Third, I cant wait to have our annual family pic with Lori, my new pamangkin :)

8.) We are family by Jacque: We have been dreaming of giving a Christmas party for our Seeds of Hope foundation at the church. A party with lots and lots of balloons, Jollibee food (yes, it had to be Jollibee, haha) and a lot of games for the kids to have fun with and lootbags for them to take home. as in something that will make them feel that it's really christmas. I know we should'nt be materialistic in order to feel christmas but for kids who cannot enjoy these things, a day of fun will really be something they will thank God for. :)

What's your wish my CWL sistahs?

Gavin's first birthday

Carly, Gavin's mom, was so was so easy to talk to. She just wanted simple decors. We just had a couple of chat sessions and that's it. On gavin's party, since she wanted berry colors of blue and red plus sunny yellow, i decided to make solid topiary centerpieces for the little boy to represent the berries. and then put up a pair of pillar on stage with floating balloons all over Acropolis clubhouse. We had fun and here are some pictures

New found sites

I was browsing thru my multiply inbox (something that i learned just recently) and discovered really nice sites. as in i was so happy to find these sites and im promoting them.

1. Pinoy Ikea - i drool for Ikea products. Would love to have all their items in the catalogues but unfortunately here in the Phils, there is no Ikea store. So I got excited that there is an online shopping store of Ikea items, well not everything but most of the good stuffs. yahoo! i ordered these.

Lampan Table Lamp (diba super nice, bloody red!)

Pello armchair (actually, im still thinking if i really wanted this kasi takot ako that simone might jump on this chair and break and she might get hurt.) pero super nice!

Hake Knife set of 3

what's good about this site is that they don't overcharge. if you check their prices and the ones from the US and singapore, halos konti lang difference. cool! oh ayan, mega promote ako, di pa nga dumadating goods ko. haha.

2. Bagsnob.com - she is a mom and a bag critic (is there such a thing? i mean, how do you call them? fashion critic?) and she has a blog where she puts all her interesting reviews about bags...err, designer bags. the ones that i can't afford. hahaha. i got hooked reading thru her blog because of how passionate she is with what she does. i mean, she knows each bag and by knowing designer bags, i mean knowing the material, what season it will kick off, how much you get it in retail, where you can get it and who to contact. man! she's really, really good! i don't dream of getting a designer bag, i just love her passion and her love for bags...true-blooded bagaholic. winner!

check these sites and let me know what you think huh? :)

Merry Christmas!

Despite the tremendous heat during the day and the pouring of heavy rains in the afternoon, I still can feel that Christmas is just around the corner. yahoo! I so love this season and hopefully, we will get to spend it again as meaningful as we always do. It's Partyboosters' first Christmas and we hope we'd be able to keep up with the schedules and the events. I'm so excited to do Christmas tree balloons! wow!

This past few days were busy for all of us. Simon had to attend to his deadlines from his clients, aside from his day job and i had to attend to meetings and inquiries from clients and i've been spending a lot of time in front of the computer. I was able to ask Perfect Pixels to do our layout for Party Boosters logo which I'm so excited to use for my business cards and header. wohoo! You know what, I've a secret to share. Our family is just as excited to see that Party Boosters is taking its first steps in the industry. Admittedly, we're just new in the industry and we've got lots to learn but we're very happy that our clients trust us and that we're happy that we make them happy in the only way we know how. And our family (simon's actually) is more excited to make this a family business. Well, I don't want to pre-empt things but is'nt good to do something that we all love doing? I mean, it's more like a tie-up thing since my SIL jane does cakes and cupcakes and my mom in law makes costumes. So i think everything's possible. My dad in law kids us and asks us if we need a commercial space already. hahaha. funny! I love it just the way we are now and we're not ready for a high cost biz just yet. start with small things and make it grow...that's Marketing on a shoestring budget ;)


This month, I'm excited to do Ava's princess party, Ichi's Mickey party, Lana's baptism reception and Gavin's army party. wait for the pics!

Identity crisis solved

After chatting with Mai a while ago and telling her that this blog has been suffering from an Multiply identity disorder, I decided that this blog will be a business blog and will feature a lot of my ventures, my attempts in doing things and new discoveries of how to earn extra. So there, no more family thingy here coz those entries are for my other blog. See you around!
