i love the smell of december

in consideration for all religions (or lack-thereof), and all races and culture...

i got this done in time, lana!! ha!
love, eat, drink, and be merry, peeps!!
*muacks!*

business matters

i totally abhor working with people who take every single discussion and decision-making process with such torture, pain, agony, and stress. it kills so much productivity, creativity, happiness, willingness, and healthy brain cells, and chokes up all your blood vessels.
worst of all, it just drives me totally bonkers.
not everything has to be so difficult to do and to overcome! can't they just relax?? (as much as i hate to say this and avoid saying so)
perfectionist, idealist, dreamer.... whatever!
i believe all good decisions and discussions (business or not) are made calmly. so that you can think clearly.
yes of course you can disagree (duh!), and you can most definitely (and should!) voice out your opinions, comments, suggestions etc.
BUT not with such screwed up facial expressions, tense brain muscles, shrieky voice tones, and negatively loud reactions, all of which do not offer any constructive viewpoints or contribute to decision-making at all.
please be more positive, open-minded and open-hearted. please!
if you can't smile, then let it be a thinking look, pondering look, doubtful look, or just plain expressionless!
why make simple things and life so hard for yourself, and others???
why don't you just take a gun and shoot me whenever i open a discussion or tell you my decision?? and i thought i was "da boss"!!?
sheesh!!
end of rant. since i can't (and don't) scream in real person, i thought i could at least just let it out here.
and don't worry, my holiday mood ain't getting affected

just last week alone. crazy huh. this holiday shopping frenzy.... i'm keeping my fingers crossed that all the order packages goes to the right peeps..... gerry opened up a couple of the packages because she became paranoid about them, and wanted to be triply-sure.... no mistakes though... (i hope!!)
oh, and i'm super late in this... (amongst many other gazillion matters... ) we welome gerry! our new part-time helper, who's waiting for classes to start in january, she likes to infect us with your infectious heyna laughter :)
in the meantime, the flickr will serve well for updates.... i'll also be revealing the new collection bit by bit by bit.... and thanks for being awesome about my darn late email replies.... thanks for all your love! *hugs*

"that's a jingle-bell, that's a jingle-bell, that's a jingle-bell rock!!....."

it's the busiest time of the year for us here, everything is just coming in all at once, so please please forgive me for my tardiness in responding to emails, messages, and whatever else i have to see to, in addition to making my fingers work as hard and fast as they possibly can, and also doing up my new designs..... and still loving and enjoying what i do (very very crucial!!) and not dying in the process...ha! more soon!! xoxoxo!!
