How sweet indeed...

Often times the most surprising and most priceless gifts are those from the people whom you loved the most. Last Christmas my son surprised me with their gifts. Yes! gifts it is! I was actually surprised that they know my favorite kikay shop (Etude House) and got me a hand cream and a dressy cologne not to mention that they included a Pearl facial mask to sweeten the deal. Well what can I say...like mother like son...hehehe...and he got taste baby :)

I wonder what will I get this Valentine and for my birthday on May? Hmmm....

so many books...so little time

It's been quite awhile since I touched on these books, some were gifts some were hand picked by myself and they're actually my personal favorites. I absolutely need to squeeze in some time to read all of these books. Not to mention that I make an effort to at least also read the Holy Bible everyday. Thanks to a dear friend who has a kind heart and knows what I need.

Though I read some of them (midway...hehehe) and here are so far some insights:

a. Eat Pray Love - Quite frankly I got bored with the book; seen the movie and it's quite interesting

b. New Strategic Selling - my new Sales Bible....ayluvet so much!

c. The Witch of Portobello - quite intriguing, the main character is very playful and full of mystery

d. How to Say It: Be Indispensible at Work - very basic but somehow quite alarming

e. Eleven Minutes (Paulo Coelho) - I just started about 3 pages hehehe

f. A bend in the Road (Nicholas Spark) - haven't opened it yet

I have several collections of books from self-help, fiction, short story, novel, business books etc and someday soon I would like to put all my collections into a nice and huge library.
