Business Cards

When meeting people, especially those you have just met and would be good to exchange numbers or contact details with, it is always a good idea to have ready calling cards or business cards to give away. That's why, before I leave for this big conference in November, I should also prepare my cards. Actually, I am in the process of printing my own business cards again. I used to have this business cards plastic container, but I guess I gave it to someone so I am also looking for a business cards container that is handy and easy to use.

I used to make them according to the organization that I have. But gone were the days that I have actively involved myself in civic organizations. I would rather do something else. Although charity work is always there. So now, I am actually going to print a universal business card that I can give away, regardless which affiliation is intended. I am sure it will be much more economical and less tasking..

Birthday Wish at Forty

My cousin is turning forty next year, while I, in a few more years. However, the two of us wanted to share ideas on how to celebrate our fortieth, when it comes. Then I realized, no matter how much 40th birthday ideas I pour out, it will not be as exciting as how I have imagined being fifty will be. Hahaha-- That is quite a number there! When my father turned fifty, we had lots of 50th birthday gift ideas, but only managed to successfully take on a few. Sure my father was happy at that time, but somehow we knew that what we gave could have been better. When my aunt turned fifty, we had a better idea and a better execution of plans. We hit it at the target and my aunt was crying and laughing at the same time. I guess reactions are quite different with men than women. Women get the flair, fabulous and the emotional way of reacting. While men simply smile or tell you what's on his mind about the surprise.

But, at the end of the day, the well wishers will know that the celebrant appreciates all endeavors. As for me, I have only one wish for my fortieth. By then, my daughter will be eleven, and she will finish Grade 6, or the elementary level. I will not  write my wish here for fear that it will not come true. But I have always wished it in my heart.. Clue: it's all about Lili and her education. Anyway, it's still a long way to go.. More years to pray and prepare... You'll know because I will post about it here.

Duyog Ramadhan

Greetings to all brothers and sisters in Islam. May you have a peaceful  Ramadan.

My Alma mater, though it is a Jesuit University, has a program under the campus ministries to educate non-Muslims as well as enjoin those who are practicing this month-long tradition. After all, it is with knowledge and respect that people of different religions can co-exist in a community-- in peace.
