Organize Your Papers Workshop

Michelle and I attended a workshop entitled "Organize Your Papers", which was facilitated by none other than Kat Ong, the only Filipino member of the National Association of Professional Organizers.  I wanted to declutter my work space at the office, and my beloved wife is going to declutter my play area at home :-).  Ms. Jade Galvan, our coordinator for placement at the Asian Institute of Management, also joined us.

The work shop was held last July 16, 2011 at the Filipinas Heritage Library corner of Makati Avenue and Ayala Avenue- it was my first time at this place and I have to say that  anyone working in Makati should visit it.  Why? Aside from the cool art works, literature, and memorabilia they display/sell, the building used to be the control tower of the former Manila International Terminal (airport).

Yes - Makati used to be an airport! I remember my dad telling me this, but I totally forgot about it.  And having Kat's workshop inside the control tower was awesome (geek alert).

Her workshop ran for three hours, and I have to say it was well worth Php 1,800.  I won't be sharing her tips and techniques on this post (sorry), but I do intend to implement what she has shared real soon (in fact, I have started buying new folders and filing equipment for my office).  Fret not, because Kat's solutions are affordable and most importantly DOABLE!.

Visit her website at http://spacethatworks.com/organizer.html and join her next workshop (for the fashionistas out there, I heard she also can help you organize your closet).

Coca-Cola Is It!

A few weeks ago, we were able to coordinate with Coca-Cola in conducting a recruitment event for Asian Institute of Management students (they invited us for dinner and presentations at Dusit Thani).  I got a cool souvenir from the event - a replica of the Philippine Jeepney adorned with Coca-Cola logos and designs, and I also met with friends from previous batches. Of course, I also had a number of bottles of ice-cold Coke Zero. (I wish I had my own dispenser at home . . . and I wish they bring back the old Coca-Cola commercial for old souls like me).

Read more about the event on this link..

Cheers!
The most refreshing jeepney around

Puppet Rap

My sister made the theater and Artzooka'ed it.

I used the puppets of the kids (both from Changi Airport).

And I used Eminem and Rihanna's song.

(You can hear my 2 year old daughter singing along)

(Note: no puppets were harmed in making this video)
