Here are a few basic things to guide us when attending parties.
1. When it is a formal party where guests were invited by an invitation card which you were not given, do not attend it even if another friend who received an invitation will bring you along.
2. If you are the host, greet guests as they come to the door. You should have a place for their personal items which they might want to leave.
3. As host, you need to introduce people.
4. If you are an invited guest, bring a gift for the host.
5. Use utensils from outside in. Used ones should never be placed back onto the table cloth. Rest them against the side of the plate.
6. Napkins should never be placed on the table until meal is over.
7. Never talk when your mouth is full.
8. Eat with mouth closed.
9. Never bring too much food to your mouth. Avoid making chewing sounds or utensils grating against your teeth.
10. Never pick your teeth in the open.
11. When leaving and the host walks you to the door, do not engage her in long conversation at the door.
12. Don't forget to thank the host and to tell her you have enjoyed the night.

spending time with dad
We are celebrating Father's Day on the 17th and we're running a list of things you can do with dad. Bonding time with family need not be expensive. So here are suggestions that friends have wanted to do with their dads but never got to and before they know it, they've grown and are too big now to do these fun things to do with dad:
1. Fly a kite with dad. A friend had been wanting to do this with her dad but never got to because of her parents' divorce that separated her from her dad for the rest of her childhood.
2. Go fishing with dad and cook your catch together.
3. Play video games with him. This can be done at home or at the nearest mall where there are such games.
4. Play catch-the-ball with him at the nearest park.
5. Jog with him early in the morning or when he comes home from work. Make him choose the time and be the ever willing jogging pardner.
6. Does your dad like swimming? Then go swimming with him on Father's Day.
7. A picnic at your garden or at the nearest park with dad and the whole family would be fun.
8. Does your dad like to sing? You can go to a karaoke bar and sing along with him. If you have your own videoke machine, then you don't have to go anywhere.
9. Play golf with dad.
10. Watch his favorite movie with him.
11. If he likes to dance, go disco dancing with him.
12. Go horseback riding with him. If you don't own a horse, go to a nearby farm and rent one.
Make dad's day something different. Happy Father's Day to all the great dads on this planet.

What's a great dad like?
Speak up all ya children of great dads. What makes your dad special? Why do you think he is different from all the other dads in the world? Here are some of the possible reasons that make dads great:
1. He always finds time for the family no matter how busy he is.
2. He remembers special days like birthdays and Christmases.
3. He is very much like mom because even without mom around, he keeps the house running.
4. He teaches me stuff like how to fish and how to fly a kite.
5. When mom is too tired to accompany me to the room because I am scared, dad would always be there for me.
6. He is my number one fan. He adores me.
7. Dad is always on my side even when I do wrong, he is there to protect me.
8. He never raises his voice nor lay a hand on me.
9. When he comes home from work he always has something for me.
10. He works, works, works for the family. He said so.
How about your dad? Share please.

Make him King for a day
Since June 17 is Father's Day, why not give your dad a big surprise? Make him King for a day. Have a program in his honor where you host and perform while your mom will be the audience along with your dad who will be seated on his thrown.
Get his favorite chair, cover it with some silky stuff (a bed cover will do) for his throne, make a crown out of cartolina, then color it and a scepter too using rolled cartolina, paint it of course and a sash bearing the title "Best Dad in the World". Prepare the whole thing before he comes home from work. Then when it is almost time for him to arrive, you might want to switch off the lights and when he steps into the door, switch on the lights and tadaaaa, let the program start.
