The Official Remo Aguilar’s Father’s Day Gift List

The best daddy gifts are those borne out of carefully understanding your dad’s psyche. Someone asked me on twitter what’s my wish list on father’s day. Here are some of those:

The best daddy gifts are those borne out of carefully understanding your dad’s psyche. Someone asked me on twitter what’s my wish list on father’s day. Here are some of those:

1. Random act of kindness. I started this challenge on my birthday. Knowing someone is doing an act of kindness (to anyone) brings a different “high” right? This is the easiest and cheapest to give too!

2. Truckload of potting soil. My veggie seedlings are fast growing. I already have compost and containers ready. But I don’t have a suitable top soil for container gardening. Just point me to where I can find one and I’ll do the rest 🙂

3. Large bookshelf. My book stash is piling up. Book shelves in my house are full. I prefer the sturdy, wooden, easy to assemble and clean book shelf. But I’ll accept anything that will pass as bookshelf. Like this one.

4. Business Model Generation: A Handbook for Visionaries, Game Changers, and Challengers. I couldn’t find this on any bookstore here. I prefer the paperback edition.

5. Value Proposition Design: How to Create Products and Services Customers Want (Strategyzer). Same with no. 4. I remember seeing these titles either in Fullybooked MOA or SM Megamall.

6. A refill of this- Green Bounty’s Putanesca Sauce + Pesto . I bought a jar of each last week. It’s half full now. So I’m estimating it’ll be empty next week 🙂

7. A gigantic, powered USB hub like this! My gadgets seem to run out of USB ports all the time!

That’s it! Well, you can add items to this list as gifts for your dad (or me 🙂 ) as you wish. No dad would say, no.

Now, I know what you did on my birthday!

Last June 11, my birthday I asked people to post a good deed on my social media wall instead of the usual birthday greetings.

Last June 11, my birthday I asked people to post a good deed on my social media wall instead of the usual birthday greetings.

remoI hacked the idea the night before, thinking It would be more meaningful to know some people received random act of kindness from both offline and online friends. I owe these people bigtime. Made my birthday a memorable one.

Here are some the people who responded to my call for random kindness.

Awesomely thanks! All of these are on my Storify account.

I know what you did on my birthday (A birthday challenge)

Since I can’t live a thousand years and my talents are severely limited, I will ask for your help. A gift, if you may call it.

Instead of posting a greeting on my social media wall (facebook, twitter, Google plus, Pinterest and what have you), IN ONE SENTENCE, POST ONE GOOD THING YOU DID (or planning to do) TODAY, June 11, my birthday. I don’t care if the good or kindness is big or small, or to whoever you did or plan to do it. Heck, it could even be your enemies, so long as you felt you did something good today.

It’s my birthday today, thank you for the kind greetings! I have a small request to make, a birthday wish I thought of just yesterday.

I don’t know when did this started but I’m beginning to believe my ultimate purpose in this world, is to make it a better, fun place for people to live, in whatever possible ways I could. Since I can’t live a thousand years and my talents are severely limited, I will ask for your help. A gift, if you may call it.

Top five things I should have stopped doing last 2014

These are debatable to many others but allow me to rant. I’m sure you can relate.

    • Multitasking.
      Unless it’s house chores you’re doing, the bad news is, multitasking have subpar end results. It drains you too, really fast.  Yes, it might be my age showing but,  hell no! The burnt rice has to stop!
    • Join all.  Lead all
      Amazingly, I’m ponic to the “lead all” sort of a joiner. I often end up doing things myself to get out of a self trap. Joining all spreads focus and drain you time for family and personal relationships. Today, I keep my knack for troubleshooting organisational screw ups on official time, only.
    • Ranting negatively
      You hate ranters don’t you? I do. With all its subtleties and angst, plus the uncool “I’m so rightfully gifted” stance,  it is an awful thing to hear (or read).  I’m not saying ranting is self righteousness verbalized, but yeah, you get that feeling at the end anyway.
    • Procrastinating. Waiting for inspiration.
      Crap!  There are two things you can do to avoid this. Do the things you can do now. Say no to other things you can’t.  Endorse. Let other people who can do it (better) actually do it!
    • Being so positive and nice, I can’t say something negative.                                               I ain’t running for mister congeniality. I’m not exactly the most liked person down here, but when you utter the “negative” (but critically constructive comment) everyone will be shocked! “You’re cruel!” is the next big gossip around you.

Regarding inspiration by the way, it’s not something mystical from who knows-where-it came-from. Didn’t you notice, inspiration only comes after you’ve started working already?

Bonus.

  • Spending for wants instead of “on a need basis only”.
    I heard one financial adviser saying if you don’t have savings equivalent to six times the price of the “want” you are buying, don’t buy it. I’m not sure if that FA is just saying that metaphorically (for not buying a want anymore) but frankly I knew the regret is just terrible.

So there you go. How about you? What are your must not do list in 2015?
