UNPRODUCTIVITY TURNED PRODUCTIVE

Last December 17, 2010 was the 400th annual Christmas celebration of UST, the UST Paskuhan. It was understood that there’s no class the following day, which is yesterday. I woke up at 8:00 am and prepared for school. There’s no classes today, but our professor asked us to attend our class to get instructions regarding our group Case Study. But yeah, I did not expect that she’ll be absent, maybe she watched the fireworks display before she went home. I heard it's already late when the firworks are being shown. My blockmate Ronn, the leader of the other group and I just ate our lunch and flew back home. I dropped by at National Bookstore at Victory Mall, Monumento and checked the business / financing books area. I found books that caught my attention and I listed them down, included it in my Christmas wish lists.

Think Like a Champion by Donald Trump is in my first list.

The Heart of a Leader by Ken Blanchard comes next to it.

Both books are written by Emily Post, Etiquette and The Etiquette Advantage in Business. This interests me a lot. It seems like it talks about the proper and right things to be considered for well grooming and actions applied for individuals and in the business world.

The 33 Strategies of War by Robert Greene really intrigues me a lot!

The Fourth Secret of the One Minute Manager is actually a series of books. I'd love to collect them all.

The AMA Handbook of Leadership and Growing Great Employees. I think these are essential in an organization or in a business. Leading and directing people and helping them to develop themselves into a competitive, compassionate and committed individuals. Not just in the work place, but as well as in everything they do. :)

Rich Brother, Rich Sister. Two different individuals who took different path: money, and spiritual happiness. I think this is an interesting book, relating and synthesizing success in spirituality and business. How to Sell Yourself by Arch Lustberg. This is a book which will really benefit me most importantly. I believe that success in business is not just how high your IQ or your knowledge in this field. But a man with combination of knowledge, Leadership and good communication will surely make a company stay in the market competition.

Building Social Business by Muhammad Yunus. I think all Muhammads are great. From him to Muhammad Ali. :)) 1000 CEOs is sure a good book. I wanna read true stories of inspiring successful CEOs of the modern generation and get tips from real experience based advise. :)

These books, I WANT. I'll make sure I'll be ablee to buy all these books before hey were all sold out in bookstores. I do not regret going to school even wala akong napala. It actually gave time for me to scan and check books that will help me in the future.

TERNO

A week before school year start, my family used to go to the department store to buy things that we will be needing in our schooling. I remembered my black Fibrella umbrella, it was broken because of the typhoon Ondoy. We were walking against the strong current of water and the strong wind blew my umbrella from my hand. I cannot go back and get it because the level of the flood is rising and I have to secure myself because I have an open wound on my knees. So this year, I'll buy another umbrella and since I'm so excited to be a Thomasian, I'll really look for a puma print umbrella like this picture that I found in Hypebeast. (It looks like a tiger print)

BAPE (Bathing Ape) Umbrella

PERFECT TERNO

I'm currently searching for bags that will fit my course and my collee uniform. I googled El Bosquejo Blog and there I found some links that transported me and discovered this perfect bag terno for my uniform. Salvatore Ferragamo is one of the high-end foreign brand so I bet this will cost me thousands of bucks. I think I can find a better alternative for this bag.

I'm looking for a Ray Ban Wayfarer shades, and I also found this LGR shades. It's cool, too.

PREPPY

I like these collection from Fred Perry
Liberty, Blank Canvass 2010 Collection.
Very classy.

Barney's Coop

I like the long sleeves, the collar is short compared to the usual long sleeves. I don't know how do they call this cut but I prefer to name it as the Earring Hole Cut. I have one polo shirt with this kind of collar, bought it from Mint. I guess what makes this long sleeves preppy is the simple design of the pattern itself. It's an S for me.

and ofcourse, FAB designs from 5TH AVENUE.

I'm not really familiar with these brands, but one thing's I'm sure : they all surpass my ideal statement when it comes to clothing. I'd really work hard for these. Maybe that time the trend is different with touch of a bit futuristic and liberated looks, but simplicity would not be out of style. Thanks Hypebeast for sharing these pictures.
