Looking at the children of my friends who excelled in school makes me happy for them. It is this time of the year where we are, that have parents beaming proudly and smiling from ear to ear because their children received special awards, recognition, trophies and medals in whatever field they have excelled in.

When I was still teaching preschool, everyone has their own awards, based on what they were good at. It not only boost the children’s self-confidence and increase their self-worth, it is also an affirmation that they can be the best

Don’t we just love a nice bathroom vanity?

One of the better features of restaurants, hotels and other places where you pay to eat or use their facilities would be to have decent bathrooms. Of course having a luxurious bathtub and high class bathroom amenities would even be great.

Personally though, I find taking photos of yourself or anyone else inside a bathroom feels icky because a bathroom is a personal sanctuary. Doing so feels like exposing one’s self to the world, hence our blurred faces.

Do you agree?

I got no business cards as of this moment. In fact I have got no business cards since last year when there was a change in a blog site written on the biz card I have.

Is this important, having business cards with me? Have I lost possible business opportunities/clients because I didn’t have these with me?

I’ve an experience I wouldn’t forget. I went to a movie premiere and when I was about to board the train bound for where I can go home, a certain lady with a little boy asked me if I also watched the movie she obviously watched too.

I said, “yes” I watched the movie that she did.

She handed me her plastic business card and asked if I have one. I said I had none.

She sheepishly (or was it just my perception that her voice changed) asked what my blog name was and I gave it.

Then she asked if I have a Facebook account and if I do, can I like her Facebook page?

Ok, next time, I will have business cards with my name printed on it but I will not give these away like I am giving away free candies. I wouldn’t want to deal with a lot of spam emails and solicitation proposals.

What if I missed a good opportunity for a partnership? If others want my services, even if I don’t have these cards, they’d probably look me up.

Last night, when we had an unexpected trip to the mall, I chanced upon a sale on shoes and bags (and clothes too) at Debenhams TriNoma. I was trying to try shoes that should perfectly fit me but I wasn’t able to get a pair. I wasn’t able to get a bag too.

First because the shoe sizes were a tad too big. Second, the bags, I can’t choose which one I like best among 4 choices. Third, the kids were complaining they want to have dinner already. But I didn’t complain when they were choosing their books at the bookstore, lol.

If not for the three factors, the barcode labels of at least a pair (or maybe even two) and a bag would have been scanned for me.

I’m going back tomorrow. *crossing my fingers* I hope I can still get one of those bags I’m eyeing.

It feels like summer already and yes. I am sweltering and craving for a big bowl of halo-halo.

To the beach we will go. I hope.
