royal stories unfold in my very eye

Sunday, March 13th, 2011

i’ve always been drawn to royal stories.  the massive impact of royalty in the political  system from the great and tyrant kings andwilliam n kate queens are pretty interesting part of world history.  my interest is not because of fairy tale books, I was more apt with animal and alphabet books rather than princes and princesses.  thanks to my mom who inundated me with such kind of fable & colorful books when i was growing up.  my interest with royal stories sparked when i was in high school from Henry VIII, the Battle in the Waterloo, Victorian era and so forth.  the lifestyle does not impressed me, i find it mundane and lavish as a commoner like me but i was intrigued with what force that molded their tyrant character, i was curious with the cause of their fall and maybe wants to  pry on what is behind that flawless and genteel manners.

so one day when i was about seven years old  my mom was watching a wedding on tv.  i noticed that the crowd was massive, the trail was preposterously long and church was a sheer grandiose.  it was the wedding of the late Lady Diane who once was a princess when he married Prince Charles who was aka into horsey Camilla, well that’s how tmz would tease the lady :) and i do agree btw.

this is the royal love story that unfolds before my very eyes.  a grand royal wedding fit for a princess.  i saw a lonely face in spite having a title that many women clamor, i saw a princess in tons of outreach programs and i saw how it ended.  i commend her for ending that sad marriage but it was a jolting loss that her life ended in a freak accident at a tender age of 36, the time while she was on the process of moving on.  she no longer was a princess when she died so the kingdom of wales never gave a damn, cold Queen? she is, being the survivor of war and tribulation of her kingdom.

everyone moved on… Prince Charles married the horsey Camilla, the Queen of course continues to be a Queen, the two princes are now the upbeat young royalties.  the elder of the two- Prince William will be getting hitched to a very beautiful and smart Kate!…am glad that she got the two qualities because being smart with   horsey looks  ain’t fit to be a princess and i stand with my opinion ;) .  Kate has a pleasant, sweet yet confident personality.  i don’t think that she’s the type who would blasts when things doesn’t go accordingly nor she’s arrogant.

the two young soon to be couple are the pleasant faces of the present royalty.  they never portrayed as untainted couple, the thing that i like about the two.  they’ve  partied, broken up, made up and live-in together.  i believe that they are entering marriage for the right reason.  I am looking forward to watch a royal wedding, again with my very eyes and this time without my mom anymore.  something about the wedding that makes me nostalgic but i’m thinking hey, why not?  it’s the celebration and proclamation of love.  i believe in love, no matter how inevitable pain and trials that come with it although marriage should bring happiness as well because if it ain’t gonna happen well it’s not worth keeping .

so, i’m saving april 29, 2011 to watch the two beautiful royal couple who will be the future King and Queen of England.  Best wishes and cheers!

Genuinely, “Since 2008″

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

It’s our second!

Second year of Whims and Likes which now  we could officially say “since 2008″ as what most businesses would proudly shout with new bkgrnd copy their company slogan, making it seriously official since longevity is a proof that it categorically have invaded the market.  It reminds me of the movie “Sunshine Cleaning” where the father of Rose ( Amy Adams) deceitfully declared that their cleaning business has been operating since 1963.  So Rose told her dad, played by a very good actor Alan Arkin that it’s a lie! but her dad’s only respond was “it’s only a business lie not a life lie”.  Pretty clever response? … not for me!.  I am driven by principle and business  is the very representation of the owner per se.  So a business lie is not cool nor fly.   I have personally encountered businesses who claim that they’ve been in the business since blah blah blah  but the truth is it’s only been existing a couple of months.  Some are owned by religious ones who can bluntly execute a business lie, ironic isn’t?

Whims and Likes officially started live in the market last January 28, 2008.   Sincerely a product of rigid market research and literally hard work.  We made sure that we will provide and supply once it’s live and operational.  Our primary concern is the satisfaction of our buyers so during the process of creating the company, we critically brainstorm  as an efficient and competent seller and at the same time thinking as what the satisfied buyer would be.  We focus on the theme during the organization with idea of being “The Choice” out there.

The genuine source of pride  about our company is that,  it’s a product of our own skills and interest although as a business, profit is a goal just as ALL other businesses are  but we made sure that we will utilize our skills and expertise.  From the creation of the website, the  operations, search engine optimization and marketing are all handle by us, no external mind were involved.

We will continue to introduce new products, improve and maintain a quality service that we have provided.   In the span of two years and two months in the market, there was only one complain and that was a couple of broken pieces in one package sent to the east coast and unfortunately ones the package is  handed over with the courier, the way a package is being handled is no longer our control.  That one complaint made us aware to improve more the system of wrapping in each favors.  To this date no other complains followed.  Lovely!

To all who availed our favors, we appreciate your support and you sure are a wise buyer because you opted to have “The Choice for Favors”

the picture-perfect bride to be

Sunday, October 18th, 2009

reese-witherspoonshe was with the Man in the Moon, probably  she’s Legally Blond but definitely she never had a Cruel Intentions… those were some of  the movies that Reese Witherspoon starred in and i’ve watched admiringly.  having to watch E-news everyday, i was able to take glimpse of the stars who said “i do”… tons of them did for 2009 alone.  the brides are all lovely, in fact i featured some of them in my previous blogs since Whims and Likes caters to wedding favors.

my wonders never ceased to see Reese in her white dress in the future.  Although she got married last 1999 with Ryan Philippe, it ended last 2005.  everything has a reason but girl …she moved on!  i admire her elegance, her neat feature, her talent as an actress, her ability to represent a woman who survived distress caused by separation with flying colors and very articulate as well making her the spokesperson of Avon that made her to visit countries in Asia and Europe..    i never heard her jumping from one man to another  unlike Kate Hudson nor Jennifer Aniston who’s been with dozens of men after Brad, that’s very exasperating but maybe it is the lifestyle that floats their boat or maybe they have yet to find the man worthy for keeps… instead Reese found a stable relationship with actor Jake Gyllenhaal.

her petite build and light persona made me think that she will definitely be a picture perfect bride.  her genuine smile perfects the aura that i find admirable in a woman.  whoever will be the groom in the future, he sure is a lucky one and  Reese will definitely be an outstanding bride amongs the stars.  i am looking forward to have her perfume called “Bloom” under Avon products.  seems that it has a floral scent of gardenia, magnolia and jasmine… interesting!… would want to have one.

one of the “k’s” got M…

khloe-1

one of the kardashian sisters (khloe)  got married to lakers’ lamar odom last weekend (09-27-09).  250 star-studded guests (as expected)… flocked a beverly hills mansion as the venue of the event.  many are raising brows when the couple jumped in tying the knot just after a month of being together.  for me, the hell with what other say!… it’s a couple’s prerogative, there’s no such thing as getting-to-know stage anyways.  it takes forever to know one!… getting hitched immediately is the thing that float their boat!

good luck!

a june bride from ‘girls next door’

Tuesday, August 4th, 2009

hank-kendra the name is Kendra Wilkinson, one of the three beautiful women of the reality show  ‘the girls next door’.  i    just watched the complete wedding ceremony awhile ago from E-channel and yes the ceremony melts my heart.  ’twas held at the playboy mansion last june 27th, 2009… hugh hefner open heartedly honor the request of the couple to hold the wedding in latter place.  i admire the girl!… nothing superficial about her, she seems so real… i find the man very adorable and very affectionate to Kendra… the hubby’s name is Hank Baskett, a known football player who hail from New Mexico.

there are tons of reality shows in local and cable channels, by the way this is the “it” thing nowadays … i noticed one thing though that most of them are– “FAKE!”  with the likes of The Hills, Laguna Beach,  The Real Wives… so on and so forth.   it’s very rare to see a couple who stars in reality shows that i feel genuinely are in love but this couple is different… none are arrogant nor they portray being cool, well they don’t need to try hard on that aspect since the couple is indeed cool.

the bride was presented by his only brother- Colin… on the first dance, the groom cried and on the night before the wedding day the man was the one who uttered… “forever” he wants it to be… you’re a lucky girl Kendra!
