Cutty

I operate a business that is open 7 days a week.  Our only break is when the mall is closed on some days of the Holy Week.  Because the nature of our business is different, I couldn't celebrate Christmas during the holidays or any weekend, for that matter.  Luckily, my employees agreed to postpone the party till the crazy Christmas rush is over. My staff requested to hold it in a videoke joint.  I took them to the nearby place called Music 22.  It is a decent place with lots of private rooms, friendly wait staff and affordable rates.  I just supplied food and lots of drinks.  All they had to do was entertain themselves.  What a revelation it was.  For a group of 9, only 1 couldn't carry a tune. It looks like this much needed time away from work did wonders for them.  Our sales the following day spiked up! We shall definitely do it again. Here are the biriteras of Big Apple Spa.

I can't believe it's only September.  After the Habagat flooding, a bout of viral infections, and Papa's Angioplasty, I feel so tired.  Sometimes, I feel like I've already used up my annual energy ration.  Forgive me if I just want to laze around in bed till noon.  Those are rare, these days. Christmas is just around the corner.  I am not quite ready for that.  Before Christmas, The Ateneo Chamber Singers will stage four concerts.  Then there's this year-end trip with the family.  Immediately after that is the ACS trip to Hokkaido. My days till June 2013 are already accounted for.  I hope that there won't be too many MAJOR changes to my schedule.  Asa pa ko! Then, there's this spa business I need to set up before November. I am not complaining.  I am grateful that the Lord is keeping me busy.  I just wish I could squeeze in some ME time, and maybe a few leisure trips. I will start off with this on Thursday Then ...
