We are priveleged to know such a great man and his wife, Lyn. Up to now they are very very good friends of the family.
Howard was the one who brought Starbucks to the Philippines 10 years ago. We all know that good leadership determines the success of an organization and Howard was definitely a good leader.
Congratulations Howard on your book!
**************************
Former Starbucks President’s New Book!
“Howard Behar, the keeper of Starbucks’ soul for many years, has given us a book about how to succeed anywhere-not just in business. His ten principles should be required reading for every government official and college president.”
—Former U.S. Senator Bill Bradley
As a longtime senior executive at Starbucks, Howard Behar helped establish the company’s culture, and coached hundreds of leaders at every level around the world.
Now in his upcoming book, IT’S NOT ABOUT THE COFFEE, Behar reveals the ten principles that guided his amazing leadership. And as the title suggests, not one of them is about coffee.
As he writes, “At Starbucks the coffee has to be excellent, from the sourcing and growing to the roasting and brewing. Our finances have to be in order. But without people, we have nothing. With people we have something even bigger than coffee.”
Behar argues that if an organization puts people before profits, everything else will take care of itself. If you think of your staff as people (not costs) they will achieve results beyond what is thought possible. And if you think of your customers as people (not revenue) you’ll make a deep connection with them, and they’ll come back over and over.

Congratulations to Liza Ilarde, Editor in Chief of TraveLife Magazine! Liza was also the Editor in Chief behind one of the top magazines in the country, Mega magazine. They were one of the pioneers in the industry. I noticed that when sharing albums with friends, one of the popular subjects is travel photos. People always want to see where you went, what you did and what you ate. Many always ask for travel tips before they leave for a trip. So this magazine for sure will be very helpful.
To quote from the Publisher, Christine Cunanan:
“It’s the only dedicated travel magazine published on a regular basis. It is written for the Filipino market by passionate Filipino travelers with real experiences and stories to share. It’s an original Filipino publication that aims to go international. Apart from Nationwide distribution, we are already available onboard the first and business class cabins and lounges of most major airlines flying out of Manila. TraveLife is literally going global. ”

Heart2Heart has found a new home!
https://heart-2-heart-online.com/
I will maintain my Multiply for personal and private albums so i hope to still see my Multiply contacts at Multiply. Please bear with the new site. It may have some glitches and the photos don’t have descriptions yet.
I do hope to count on your continous support in this endeavor. Please register and sign up. I hope you can tell your family and friends to sign up as well.
https://heart-2-heart-online.com/subscribe/
By registering, you will get the emails direct to your mailboxes. You will still have to check your bulk folders especially for yahoo as they still enter there. I still need to figure that out.
It will be easier now to share the blogs with your friends – there is a feature below each blog “SHARE WITH A FRIEND.”
I have decided to take my blogging to a more professional level as many people have suggested it to me. Making money is not my main motivation for running this site. My main motivation is to grow and eventually make other people grow with me. It is just an added bonus if I do get people to advertise and support my work. My blog has gained me access to certain events. It has become a high traffic media outlet, and many have considered me as a member of the press. It has been a very busy yet fun six months since I started blogging.
The ideal part from blogging is the freedom it brings. I write whenever I’m inspired to write. Plus I get to spend my time doing what I love most-taking photos, documenting and sharing it with as many people as I can. I get to see many new places, new things, meet many people and learn from them.
THANK YOU so much to all my contacts in Multiply and to all of you who have been patient enough to accept all my blogs through your emails. Sorry for filling up your mailboxes. I am grateful to those who constantly follow all my blogs and take time out to respond. And to those who delete and don’t read them, you are still my friends 🙂 Just be careful, you might be blogged by paparazzi Rica! 🙂

Thanks to Arnel Patawaran, Editor in Chief of Sense and Style magazine, for featuring Mothers Club in its DREAMAGINE issue ( October ).
My sister, Tina, President of the Beacon Parent Association ( BPA ), invited me today to the BAKE SALE at the Beacon school lobby which is held every other Friday. The parents donate their homebaked goodies and food to sell to the students during snack time. All proceeds from the sale of the food goes to the BPA fund which is used to improve the facilities of the school. What a great idea and what super moms they all are for doing this for the school and for their children.
One of their main fund raisers for the year is a book which they concocted.
I am sharing this with you as I know many of you will find this very useful. I am a big fan already of the book even if I have not seen the contents because I am always asking everyone where they got what! or where I can get this or that! So i am sure this book will be very informative.
