I got this info via Nuffnang. The topics are very interesting, especially the one set for June 5th. I’d probably go if I had other errands to run in Manila (sayang ang gas, eh!).

Got this from the mail. I have never tried any Neoflam product in my life. (The Venn Casserole looks good, though!) I’m into Pyrex, Sunnex and Corning. But in case some of you are Neoflam fans, you might want to take advantage of this offer from SM.

How To Find The Love You Need

April 20th, 2010 Events & HolidaysTags: Aileen Santos, Familiaris Center, workshops

Note: My friend and former boss, Aileen Santos, will be giving a relationship coaching session on May 15th. If you think you could benefit from this workshop, sign up! Read Aileen’s email below.

You have an ineffective pattern regarding your relationships with the opposite sex. And patterns don’t lie.

What Are Patterns?
“A pattern is a combination of behaviors, thoughts, emotions, actions, qualities and tendencies forming a consistent arrangement that generally brings about a predictable result.” says Grant.

“Just as there is a pattern in some teenagers that causes them to consume alcohol (or) a pattern in career people that causes them to find only bad jobs… (there’s also) a pattern that causes (people) to be unsuccessful at finding their… ideal mate.”

This pattern runs on auto-pilot, so you’re often not aware of it. But the result is the same: it makes you unconsciously sabotage your deepest desire to find love.

The Good News
“The good news,” says Grant, “Is that once you identify the ineffective pattern and replace it with an effective one, there is a very high probability that you will find, attract and have a successful relationship with the (person) of your dreams.”

Would you like to identify your own patterns, and finally begin to eliminate the obstacles that are keeping you from getting the love you want and need?

Then join us this May 15 for a fun & empowering relationship coaching session called How To Find The Love You Need. This session helps you:

• Understand your love patterns, and learn how to use them to make better relationship choices,

• Discover how attraction really happens between people of the opposite sex (so you’ll know how to create it), and

• Find out the real deal about finding and keeping happier relationships!

Seating is limited (AND includes your own “self discovery” workbook and light snacks), so please contact Gemma Gumpal NOW at +639127678665 and find out how you can RESERVE your slot.

P.S.
You MUST reserve your slot before May 13, 2010 so we can prepare your personal workbook!

P.P.S.
Your P800 workshop fee includes light snacks, your personal “self discovery” workbook… and this rare chance to finally get on track for creating more happiness and love in your life.

I’ll be conducting this one-of-a-kind relationship coaching session, so I really hope to see you there!

Free Chocolate Workshop – March 27, 2010

March 18th, 2010 Events & Holidays, Food & Health, Sticky NotesTags: chocolate, free workshops

Love chocolate? You might want to attend Chocolate Appreciation 101 on March 27, 2010 at Heavenly Chocolates. It’s FREE. My friend Midge is handling the workshop.

Below is an excerpt from Midge’s FB message:

I’m handling this month’s Chocolate Appreciation 101 workshop at Heavenly Chocolates (127 Roces Ave., QC) on March 27th. This workshop is going to be a bit different because apart from the usual tastings, I will also be demonstrating how to make dark chocolate ganache and truffles based on the classic French technique.

You have a choice of two sessions: 4 PM or 7 PM; feel free to bring along your chocoholic friends. The workshop is free, but the space is rather small so please RSVP c/o Mike Ngo Dee at ngodee@yahoo.com or call the shop at 666-22-08.
