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.

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!

an afternoon Tea Party

Saturday, July 18th, 2009

there’s something about Tea Theme Party that is very appealing to me.  the kind of get together that encompasses the semblance of calmness, teaparty comfort, light-mood and tradition.  tea party as reminiscent of Victorian era  can set the mood of women to put-on some  unassuming gesture of being a lady.

i grew up surrounded with girl stuffs being the only lass of five brood.  my mother took pleasure in pampering me with dolls, stuffed toys, cookware toys, sanrio knickknacks and dresses… this is how i started my relationship with girly things! … and i still do!… no wonder i find it comforting to watch the movies that inspired by Jane Austen’s novel.   it depicts women in a feminine yet highly principled way, stimulating discussion either in group or between lady friends were always accompanied with a cup of freshly brewed tea and tiny pastries… oh! lovely.

what  draws me to Tea Party? … well… the hat, the dress, the china wares and of course the fine sandwiches and pastries often serve with tea.  i wouldn’t mind to have a ravishing  petite sandwiches made of pumpernickel or wheat bread, a sumptuous slice of pound cake or strawberry shortcake, an inviting scones and tarts or  a delectable blueberry and banana walnut muffin…  the inviting presentation of these bite-size sandwiches and pastries in a stack-up trays and colorful china teaware that is set in the garden, patio or simply in the comfort of your living room… that is what i call a simple yet grand comfort.

tea and the tiny bits of delicacies are the best companion of conversation, the tradition that passed vastly from Chinese as early as 2737 BC to  Japanese then Europe in 1652 then in America in 1690… presently, Tea Party is widely used as a simple way of entertaining guests at home,  hotels and some restaurants.

i recommend for you to experience the Tea Room of Huntington Botanical Garden located in San Marino, California.  it’s a very awesome place and the room is in the amidst of the luscious garden.

i hope one day i could host a tea party for my dear friends or i hope to receive an invite for this theme… i will gladly attend and enjoy my cup of tea!
