Bukidnon Cooperative Bank | The latest group who lighted their Christmas Tree at the Capitol Ground

Though they are the latest, it doesn't mean that they do not have the spirit of Christmas. That spirit somehow drove them to install the light in their assigned Christmas Tree, even though that they were late. Here are some of the things that I've observed;

1. They have the Spirit of Willingness to install the lights in their assigned Christmas Tree even though that they were late with the date set last December 1, 2010.

2. They did not just installed it, they even installed it with Full of Meaning on what Christmas  should be because it showed with the design of their Christmas tree. 

3. They crafted the materials installed with Full of Passion, Effort and Love.

Merry Christmas to All Bukidnon Bloggers Group!!! To all Bloggers in the Philippines and in the whole world!!! Job Well Done. Sharing of information through Blogging is really a tough job. That's the spirit of Christmas. Throughout the years, you did that sharing of information, even though Christmas celebrated in December but what you have done, all the days in the year, is really Christmas. So, keep blogging. Keep that passion of sharing. Congratulation also to Bukidnon Cooperative Bank for a job well done.

 

Gift Wrapper

It is not the gift that matters, much more on the wrappers that you use in wrapping the gifts during this yuletide season, but it is the HEART of Giving and not the ART of Giving - bonzenti

Practicality wise :

If you want to squeeze up your budget and you are tight right now or you  do not have more or extra money to buy wrappers in this gift giving season, here is an alternative tip for you. Gift wrapper out of the 2010 Calendars. For me, since I have spare of Land Bank Calendars, I used this as wrappers in wrapping the gifts as shown in the photo. I just would like to share it to you for practical reason. Newspaper is also a better idea. Today, we always deal with practicality in life. Its up to your decision whether you like to choose this option or not, but for me it looks nice, elegant and practically presentable. It is indeed the idea of my wife.

Merry Christmas, to All!

Waiting Shed

A man builds a house in England with the expectation of living in it and leaving it to his children; we shed our houses in America as easily as a snail does his shell. - Harriet Beecher Stowe

Giving a shed for everyone who will benefit out of it,  sharing your talent with countless effort for a legacy, is worth enough to be remembered for the next generation to come, not the cost you spent today but the traces you leave to them- bonzenti panganiban

Car's Tinted Window

Fifty years from now, it will not matter what kind of car you drove, what kind of house you lived in, how much you had in your bank account, or what your clothes looked like, But the world may be a little better because you were important in the life of a child. 

- anonymous

 A really tight friendship is when you start to really care about the person. If he gets sick, you kind of start worrying about him—or if he gets hit by a car. An everyday friend, you say, I know that kid, he's all right, and you don't really think much of him. But a close friend you worry about more than yourself. Well, maybe not more, but about the same.

Skylights | Intellect

“There are one-story intellects, two-story intellects, and three-story intellects with skylights. All fact collectors with no aim beyond their facts are one-story men. Two-story men compare reason and generalize, using labors of the fact collectors” -   Oliver Wendell Holme

Architectural meaning:

Skylight is an architectural term means daylighting. Daylighting is the practice of placing windows or other openings and reflective surfaces so that during the day natural light provides effective internal lighting.(courtesy of wikipedia)

House of Leaders

Far View

Nearer View

What makes leadership is the ability to get people to do what they don't want to do and like it.
                                                                    - Harry Truman

Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which have been overcome while trying to succeed.
                                                        - Booker T. Washington

Leadership is not a one-day thing. It is a constant commitment to excellence, a habit . . a daily practice.

Leaders are not born. They are made. They are made just likeanything else. .  through hard work. That's the price we

have to pay to achieve that goal or any goal.
                                                                 - Vince Lombardi

Center

Now it had always been the custom for Moses whenever he went from his house to the Tabernacle to walk in the center, with Aaron at his right, Eleazar at his left, then the elders at both sides, and the people following in the rear. Upon arriving within the Tabernacle, Aaron would seat himself as the very nearest at Moses' right hand, Eleazar at his left, and the elders and princes in front. On this day, however, Moses changed this order; Aaron walked in the center, Moses at his right hand, Eleazar at his left, the elders and princes at both sides, and the rest of the people following.

The Platoon Leader

 

"A platoon leader doesn't get his platoon to go by getting up and shouting, 'I am smarter. I am bigger. I am stronger. I am the leader.'  He gets them to go along with him because they want to do it for him and they believe in him." --Dwight D. Eisenhower
