Business trip

My sister will be going out of the country by next week. She will be going on a business trip and will be meeting her boss in person for the first time. They have been talking on the phone for a few weeks now. Her boss is French and she was interviewed via video phone. My sister is hoping that she will stay in this condo hotel that her co-workers are telling her about. A few of her co-workers went abroad to meet executives at one point in their tenure so they know the best places to stay at. For now, my sister has to follow her boss with regards to accommodation so she is really praying she’ll get to stay at the condo hotel rather than at the corporate house.

Happy Father's Day!

To MY DAD and all my blogger friends and visitors who are a FATHER not just to kids but one who also acted as such to his siblings, relatives and to friends…

HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Weird weather

Have you noticed the strange weather the past few days? It still is extremely humid in Manila these days. It is supposed to be the rainy season already.

The past couple of days, there have been thunderstorms in the afternoon, around 5pm. But after less than an hour, it will stop. It just scares me how weird the weather is. After watching all those global warming tv specials, well, you can just imagine, what my mind conjures when I hear booming thunders and all.

What is this really happens? Frozen sea, frozen everything? Scary!

Multimedia educational software

When I was a kid, I love reading interactive books. My mom encouraged me to read books at an early age because she knew that reading will enhance my knowledge. It will also take me to places I have never been to, meet characters that come alive only in books, and it will make me ahead of my years. But these days, there are other means for a child to learn aside from reading books. There are interactive games and books that can be read and played by kids in your computer.

That is the idea behind Knowledge Adventure, a web site dedicated to learning and fun for preschool kids. It is a 3D world of adventure, as they say. The web site has several choices for parents out there. There is the JumpStart Advanced Preschool World which is a whole new play-to-learn world designed for little fingers and big imaginations. Your child will get to meet furry friends and be a part of a personalized 3D neighborhood. What your child will learn here is pre-reading, math and critical thinking skills. For as little as $29.99, your kids can learn so many things while having fun!

If you are interested, you can go to KnowledgeAdventure.com now and buy the Jumpstart series for your child. You can also choose other available interactive learning tools there. Visit the site now for more information.

Full color printing on garment

Custom T Shirts is quite the fashion in our office. That’s because there is a contest being held on who designs the best t-shirt bearing the company logo. We are allowed to unleash our creativity and on the day of the judgment, we will wear our t-shirts and the chairman of the board of directors will choose the best creatively designed shirt. The winner will receive a big cash prize. We are also allowed to get outside help as long as we can guarantee the design is ours and is original.

I would like to join the contest. The prize bag will be a big help for my brother’s college funds. I just don’t know how I can put into print the design I have in mind. Thank goodness I found SonicShack.com, a company offering state of the art digital printing on apparel. It is full color printing directly to the garment. Customers can order just one custom shirt and get discounts the more shirts they order. Now this is the company I know who can help me bag the grand prize!

If you are also looking for a state of the art, full color digital printing on garment, go to SonicShack.com right away. Do your own design and let SonicShack.com print it for you.

Pleasantly surprising blogger comments

Have you noticed how exciting it is to receive comments from bloggers who are up there in the blogosphere ladder? Well, I got two last week from someone I have been reading about for so long already. She is one of the first “blogger-celebrities” that I got to know when I started blogging myself. I was pleasantly surprised how simple and sincere her comments were. To say I was thrilled when I read the URL of the commentator is an understatement. It actually made my day!

Do you also feel the same way when you receive comments from bloggers you consider celebrities?

Technorati Authority

The Technorati Authority has been fluctuating like crazy for the past few weeks now. It has become unstable. One day you get a really high authority. The next day it drops down by 5 or more points. I wonder what’s happening. I have been experiencing this fluctuation for quite some time now. Not just with this blog but with my other blogs as well. It gets frustrating when you really look into it. I ping my blogs and if there is no change at all, I email Technorati support. But well, it happens again and again.

Have you noticed this one as well?

Win people to your way of thinking

1. The only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it.
2. Show respect for the other person’s opinions. Never say, “You’re wrong.”
3. If you are wrong, admit it quickly and emphatically.
4. Begin in a friendly way.
5. Get the other person saying “yes, yes” immediately.
6. Let the other person do a great deal of the talking.
7. Let the other person feel that the idea is his or hers.
8. Try honestly to see things from the other person’s point of view.
9. Be sympathetic with the other person’s ideas and desires.
10. Appeal to the nobler motives.
11. Dramatize your ideas.
12. Throw down a challenge.

Independence Day

Tomorrow will be the Philippine’s Independence Day. It is supposed to be a holiday but due to GMA’s holiday economics, the holiday was moved to last Monday. Since last Monday was a holiday, it was a long weekend here in the Philippines. I am sure a lot of people went out and had fun.

Wait! Aren’t we supposed to celebrate Independence Day last Monday? Or will you just do it tomorrow?

Don’t forget to raise your flags and show everyone you are proud of our country.

Happy Independence Day to all the Filipinos out there!

Out of sorts

Please bear with my 2-day absence from Entrecard dropping. I have been taking care of my brother’s college school supplies and is quite busy with last minute shopping. Yesterday, we were out to visit my mom’s grave. Since it will take us a bit of time to visit her grave because of school and work, we opted to go visit her yesterday, being a holiday and all. Tomorrow, my brother and I will be going to buy him school shoes. Last Sunday when we went to the mall, he did not find anything to his fancy so we’ll be off to hunt for the pair of shoes tomorrow.

Normal EC dropping will resume by tomorrow night.

Have a great week everyone!
