You are nothing unless it comes from your heart. If you perform functions only and go to work only to do processes, then you are effectively retired. And it scares me- most people I see by age 28, are retired. If you go to work only to fulfill the processess and functions, then you are a machine. You have to bring passion and commitment and caring - that's what makes you a human being


- Horst Schulze, Former President of Ritz-Carlton




There is no such thing as "dream/ideal job or passionate work". Passion is what's inside of us and our ideal job will find us once we start kindling that enthusiasm. People of excellence love what they do. They know how to work with undistracted attention and they work with maximum energy. 


How do you do at work now? :) Work with your whole heart and try to fuel the fire that keeps you moving.


John C. Maxwell once said " In life, the prize goes not to the person who's the smartest or most talented ; it goes to the person with passion. "







want some scones? :D


Origin of SCONE

perhaps from Dutch schoonbrood fine white bread, fromschoon pure, clean + brood bread

The scone is believed to have originated from Scotland. Just like any other bread it is basically made of wheat flour, sugar, butter, baking soda and sometimes eggs. But what makes it so special? Hmm... i don't know either. Hehe ;p come on! let's find out :D

scones from "Swissbake"
It was actually a little surprise from Calvin. He wanted me to have a taste of the scone so he went to the grocery store and bought all the things needed to prepare his " strawberry cream scones ala lugtu" And this is all because of the Royal Wedding fever. Haha ;p 


cream cheese, strawberry jam and non-fat butter 

Here's how to prepare your bread. 
- First you have to slice your scones into manageable and spreadable sizes
- Then spread some butter on it followed by cream cheese.
- Finally top it up with  a little amount of strawberry jam. (it depends how much you want it) 

jaraaaan! my small cake is ready! 


According to Calvin, it wont be perfectly delish if you do it any other way. Hehe ;p 

yummy!



Salamat mahal ko :)
