My Sister and her Boyfriend

One of the agreement that my sister and I had is for her to finish her degree first before getting into a relationship. On her Junior year, I found out that she has a boyfriend. She got worried that I would let her stop going to school because of it but I told her that it's alright as long as it won't hinder her studies and work. I don't know what the status of their relationship is now but am glad that she did not do things that would jeopardize her future.

How to Handle Unanticipated “Plus 1” Requests for Your Party

When getting a party together, you have to be aware that anything can pop up and not go the way that you planned it. You need to be prepared for these things and know how to deal with them in a proper way. When it comes to your guests sending in requests to bring along a friend with them to your event, you might feel a little blindsided especially if it was made at the last minute. Here are a few tips on how to deal with this issue if it ever pops up.

When you’re sending out the invitations to your invited guests, a good thing to do is add another line stating whether or not a “Plus 1” is going to be accepted. You have to keep in mind the number of people you want to be at the party, and if you want to keep the event exclusively to those that were invited then let your guests know in your invitation as well to avoid unnecessary requests in the long run.  If you're sending baby shower invites, you want to make sure you have enough baby-bottle cake ordered!

Chances are that not everyone you send an invitation to will be able to make it to your party, which means there are some vacancies opened up. If you had decided to not allow “Plus 1” requests when you first sent the invites out, this is a good time to consider notifying your invited guests that haven’t cancelled that they can bring an extra guest if they want to. You want to have a full party, so it’s best to let them know if any openings are available.

If you decide to allow as many guests as possible to your party, it’s probably a good idea to know how many of your guests want to bring along a friend or a family member. Set up a suitable deadline to give your guests a chance to decide who they want to bring to your party or event as well as to eliminate the problem of getting any unexpected requests on this matter.

“Plus 1” requests can be difficult to handle if you don’t know how to deal with it. Planning ahead in this regard could help make your life easier by preparing for these kinds of requests. Keeping your guests in the know about “Plus 1” requests is important in avoiding anything unexpected down the road.

Umbrella

Umbrella is an essential thing to have in the Philippines.  Filipinos uses it,   rain or shine.  Most of the Filipinos have  dark skin so we use umbrella a lot to block the  heat of the sun.

I am praying for the people in the Philippines who are affected by the super typhoon.

Hotel and Restaurant Management Course

When my youngest sister was in her  sophomore year of taking Education course,  she wanted to shift  to an HRM course or Hotel and  Restaurant Management.  Since she has the scholarship from school which requires to take Education course, I told her to just  stick with it because I could not afford to  solely  cover all her expenses in school.  She told me the advantages of getting an HRM degree but I told her that  career in  Education  system would help her in the long run.  To make the story short, he  stick with the education course and  she is now in the last year.  She will be graduating  next year .

Anyhow, to continue with my topic on hotel management, there are  Hotel Bar Supplies and Hotel Supply Online that you can buy through Peach Suite, an Atlanta Hotel Supply  store.  They provide  hotel supplies, banquet rooms, disposable items, dining room, concession  and more.  So if you are in need of new supplies for your hotel or restaurant,  Peach Suite is the one-stop-shop you can check out.  You will find just about anything that you need.

Software makes ART

I admire people that could create tools and software that enhances ordinary photos.  Say for instance, this simple photo of my sister, she uploaded it using a software that she found online and it made a big difference.  

By using a software, an ordinary picture could make an artistic piece.  Would you agree?

Summer Vacation

I snagged these photos  at my  sister's page in Facebook.  I believe these are her room mates and  landlady.  Seing their photos reminds me of my college days.

My sister went home to visit  our Mom during her  summer vacation.

Legazpi City, Philippines

There's a new developed place in Legazpi City, Philippines called Embarcadero. It did not exist when I was still there.  The photo above is my sister trying to break  the elephant's attempt from kissing each other lol.  Just kidding.  I can't think of  any K word for this blog so I hope you don't mind my Korny (corny) joke.

Can you think of K word that  could describe the photo?

Jump for Joy

Hi all, let me introduce you to one of the songs that I like, "Shout for Joy" by a Filipino singer/artist, Mr. Gary Valenciano. You may listen to it while typing your comment.

Internet Cafe

Hello there,   world. It has been a long time  since I last posted here. I have been so busy with my school projects and  my duties as a working student here in school.  My health is not cooperating  either which makes it hard to do everything.  After my presentation and defense for my major case study, I was hospitalized.   I talked to my sister and  found out that my niece had a urinary tract infection which I also had.  

I hope and pray that my niece will  feel better very soon.  Take lots of fluid  little princess, Tita  loves  you!

Anyhow, I went to an Internet Cafe near my boarding house  when my sister texted me about my niece so we can further chat and  also give me a chance to post something on this blog.  I know that my sister's hands are full right now.  

I am sharing below the   pictures of me and my classmates.  We are  on the last league/year of  our Education course,  majoring in MAPEH (Music, Arts, Phys. Ed. and Health).  Only few of us  are taking this major subject that  focuses on the  children with special needs and talents.  

 

I have to go now, it is getting late  and I don't want to keep my landlady waiting for me so late.  Yes, we have a curfew at our boarding house.  Some don't like it but I do because it  shows how our landlady cares for us.

 Blue Monday, Ruby Tuesday
