Spread the Christmas Spirit

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 SELFLESS… 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. Me, Myself and I: I wish that I could donate something in a charity or for anyone who badly needs a help this year. And of course, WORLD PEACE!
6. Life’s Little Secrets: I wish God will grant those couples who were praying for them to have a baby. I wanted them to feel what happiness a child can give to them, for them to have a family they can call their own. I know this people are capable of rearing a child and I think it’s not that much to grant their prayers and wishes. *wink*
7. Official Chosen Fate: I wish that sick babies and little kids afflicted with serious illness be totally cured so they can just play, grow and enjoy life.
8. Swept Away: I wish that the government can set the NFA Rice cost at Php 1 a kilo (or even for free) so that the impoverished Filipino families have more than a cupful of rice to serve and feast upon on their dining table.
9. Love. Happiness. Us.: I wish to organize a small Christmas Party at Senden Homes, an orphanage for little boys, to bring joy and smile in their faces and make them feel special and that they are loved even though they've been neglected by their parents.

A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.

What Love Quote Suits You?

Clingy.

Just a tip I received from Femme daily text alert for girls:

Don't be too clingy to your guy. Let him be him.
Don't call him every 5 hours.
If he doesn't pick up and answer your calls, he's probably busy.
Being too clingy will annoy him.

Beauty Jobs.

I was supposed to digiscrap today but I set aside it for the mean time as a friend is in need of my help. She's looking for a cosmetology school in Minneapolis to where she can pursue her interest. Luckily, I stumbled upon the Regency Beauty Institute. I find their curriculum interesting most especially the career opportunities it offers after graduation. Recently, it has launched a beauty industry job placement website where their students can search and apply for beauty jobs among its industry partners. Hence, their students are assured of a successful career afterwards in the same way that salon and spa owner partners don't have a hard time scouting for a promising new talent. I bet my friend will be overly delighted with my online find.
