Machine?!? No, it’s a Method!

My friend’s colleague is planning to put up a printing press business and is asking for some assistance regarding feasibility study and financial projections.  She handed me a draft and came across with these terms such as flexo printing, anilox, anilox roll cleaner, etc.  Having no idea about these things about printing, I googled the terms and found out that anilox is a method used to provide a measured amount of ink to a flexo printing plate.  At first, I thought anilox is a machine when in fact it’s actually a method.  Hehehe…well, at least I’m learning new things out of this project! :) And because of this, we are trying to look for a good quality anilox roll cleaner at a reasonable (which means, cheapest) price! Hmmm….incurring expenses for the cleaner is inevitable with this kind of business but we have to make sure that we incur the least possible expense to earn a lot of profit!  :)

Pencil, anyone?!?

Passing by a department store, I saw a promo girl giving away promotional pencils.  I got 3 sets, hehehe!  What am I gonna do with these pencils anyway? There are lots in the office. :) Hmmm…gonna give them to the children in the neighborhood, wehehehe…I’m sure they will like these colorful pencils. I hope they will be inspired to study hard too! :) Nice quality pencil, I’ve tried using one.  Just curious how much will it cost in the market after the promotional period.  They will probably make big profits on them.  I’m hoping that they will sell them at a reasonable price.  If that would be the case, I’m gonna buy boxes of them for distribution to the kids! Hahaha…I just love seeing children wearing  innocent smiles  full of gratitude and appreciation! :)

Living Alone for 5 Days

My parents just went back to the province to fix some stuff and attend the wake of a relative.  Unfortunately, I was left at home because I have work and classes on weekends.  Now, I am having a problem with our faucet in the bathroom and I have no idea how to fix it! My goodness…it’s El Nino and we have to conserve water! It has to be replaced soon and I have to look for more durable plumbing fixtures.  I really have to have it done before the week ends.  I can’t afford to sacrifice my weekend classes for this one.  And by the way, I have exams this coming weekend so it’s really not an option to have it fixed on those days.  I will just probably ask some assistance from our neighbor. :)

Adventures and Misfortune

My first ever out of the country travel was in 2008.  The HK-Macau tour with two of my very good friends namely Leizl and Kath.  It was a whole lot of fun, excitement, adventure and memories to be treasured! The Disneyland experience and the Macau adventure were really one of a kind!  Unfortunately, all the videos that I took were all gone…No, they were not deleted.  It’s not due to the virus thing either.  It’s because my handycam was stolen prior to uploading the videos in my laptop! :(   It really makes me sad everytime I have a thought about it.  But then again, those memories will never be forgotten.  And having said these, I’m looking forward to another Disney vacations which hopefully will be in Japan or in the US! Wishing, hoping and dreaming…but of course I have to do something about it! :)

Travel Photos

I love to travel and take photos of the places I’ve been to.  As much as I wanted to have all of them printed, I can’t because it’s costly!  And they keep on accummulating!  I’m thinking if there’s an available online printing services which offer cheaper printing of those pictures with delivery free of charge! Hehehe…asking for too much huh?!?! I’m looking forward to another Asian tour (Thailand-Malaysia-Singapore) this coming July and I really have to have those photos from my previous travels printed.  I’m also making a scrapbook of those! :)   Lots of things to do, limited resources and time!  I really have to devote time in accomplishing those stuff.  Hmmm….maybe when my hectic schedule at school is over.  And I hope it will be, soon! :)

Optimizing Your Health

Do we really need nutritional supplements?  Probably most of us would say, “No, I don’t need them.  I’m perfectly healthy!”  I guess the problem with most people is that they base their health on what they feel.  Just because you feel perfectly fit doesn’t mean you don’t need supplements.  When an illness, a health problem, a sign of old age and weakness suddenly strikes,  that’s the time we begin to search for a dietary or herbal supplement to help us get out of the hole we have unfortunately dug for ourselves.

What are the benefits that we get from these supplements?  Based on what I know, they help to overcome nutritional deficiencies.  Our body needs all the nutrients in their proper amounts to achieve optimum health.  Obviously, our diets most likely can’t provide all of them. And that’s where these supplements come in and fill in those gaps.  Nutritional supplements are also useful in getting rid of the toxins.  They act as anti-oxidants and help our body keep toxins to a minimum level.  The environmental stresses we go through everyday,  the chemicals we are in touch with and our lifestyle are some of the factors which subject us  to harmful toxins which can then lead to various health problems.  There are much more benefits that nutritional supplements can provide. The main point is that these supplements help you have the optimum health you deserve and minimize the risk of diseases.  They can also help boost our immune system, hence, better resistance against various disease.  I’m sure there are a lot more benefits we could get from them.  The bottomline is, these supplements can help us attain the optimum health that we deserve and at the same time minimize the risk of having diseases.

Skin Essentials

Our skin rest and rejuvenate during night time.  It’s when our skin gets a rest from the harmful UV rays coming from the sun and is able to focus on repairing skin cells.  Through regenerative processes, our body cycles help restore and create new skin cells.  Night creams being a provider of mandatory hydration of the skin facilitates the so called regenerative process.  At a certain age, the regenerative process of the skin dramatically slowed.  Fortunately, there are lots of best night creams available which contain powerful ingredients that actually trigger the stimulation of collagen and aids in skin cell regeneration as well.  These therefore slow down and repair the aging process of the skin.  I thought using night cream is not essential to have a healthy, glowing and fresh skin.  But now I believe it is! :)

Fun-filled Experience

It’s almost summer again and we’re planning for a holiday!  We all want a fun-filled, relaxing and memorable experience in a particular travel destination.   We’re looking for a large selection of Outer Banks vacation rentals with a wide range of amenities, including private swimming pools, hot tubs, theater rooms, game rooms, KTV and more!  It’s time to unwind, relax, have fun and forget about work for some time.  Spend quality time with family and friends and create a memorable experience! I’m so excited to meet my old friends and classmates again.  We have a lot of catching up to do.  Gosh, it’s been 10 years! See you all guys, I hope a lot of us can attend. :)

The Figure She Wanted

When we were having breakfast this morning, my officemate asked me on how to have a flat tummy.  She’s slim but is getting conscious of  her stomach.  Unnecessary fats are starting to show up which isn’t nice.  She’s asking me if those weight loss supplements would help.  I don’t actually know if it’s advisable so I just told her to try doing sit ups every morning.  Of course, she doesn’t want to, hehehe… Most of us want to achieve a nice figure in an easy way! This is what I have to say, whatever ways you want to try doing to achieve your goal, you’ve got to have a good motivation and a whole lot of discipline and perseverance.  Goodluck to you my friend, I hope that you achieve the figure that you wanted to have. :)

Business = Opportunity

Few weeks ago, when I was on my way to the office, a young lady gave me a flyer with a list of paid web directory.  I was not in a hurry that time so I asked her, do you have a list of free web directory? Hehehe… I was just kidding though.  I became curious then, how much do these people charge their clients or advertisers for instance.  But of course,  it’s of much luck if I found the rate online, right?!?!  True enough, because when I got the chance to search for some of the sites listed there, there wasn’t any information about the rate.  I’m thinking if it’s a good business opportunity or if it’s worth to invest on that if you have and existing business or it still depends on what business you are into.
