Make sure it’s registered and approved!

   Posted by: michy   in General

I guess a lot of you have heard people who have tried Xenical, a fat eliminator, say that it is effective, which makes a lot of people want to try it out.  Well, like what I always say I don’t have anything against that.  All I can say is if you want to try out diet pills I suggest that you go for products that are FDA (if in the US) or BFAD (if in the Philippines) approved like Xenical and Alli especially if you will be trying out non-prescription drugs.  This is important for these departments are the ones that regulate the drugs and food products that are sold to consumers like us to make sure that these products are safe for consumption.  So if you buy a product always look for the seal of these departments as a proof that these products were registered and approved.

Happy Bithday Wafa!

   Posted by: michy   in General

September 27th is the birthday of Wafa, one of my close friends in the office.  She became a close friend through Weng.  Wafa and Weng went to Kawasan falls in Badian, Cebu and they liked the place so much that Wafa decided to go back there to celebrate her birthday.  And so, after having breakfast with my team at Mcdonald’s after our shift, Ed picked me up to go to Jollibee near Metro Colon to meet up with Wafa, Weng and the rest of the party.  Then at 10 o’clock, off we went to Kawasan Falls.  After a two hour van ride from Cebu City, we started the 30 minute walk ((which became an hour walk due to some photo ops) to Wafa and Weng’s fave spot.  The walk was so relaxing.  The smell of the fresh air into your lungs, the sound of the water running down the stream.  Hay…  Now, I feel energized again.  I can’t wait to go back to work and do what needs to be done.  I now agree to what they say.  We should always stop and smell the flowers every now and then.  To Wafa Happy Birthday!  And thank you for bringing me to Kawasan Falls.  It was one heck of an experience.

How to look gorgeous on the beach…

   Posted by: michy   in General

The answer is to have the right stuff when you go to the beach.  Having a body to die for like Jeniffer Lopez’s is probably one of the major consideration of the ladies to wear swimsuits on the beach.  This maybe a personal opinion though but nevertheless, one advise that I could give to you my dear readers on how to be gorgeous on the beach is the same advise that our fashion gurus give to fashionistas…  Go for something that will enhance the assets that you have.  Meaning, hide what needs to be hidden and show what needs to be shown.  But keep in mind that showing is different from spilling.  If you are blessed with a big bust line go for a style that will cover most of it like a halter top.  And always cover your buns.  NEVER EVER WEAR A THONG ON THE BEACH!  I remember a line of Audrey Hepburn were she said that to keep the attention of your audience, you have to remain mysterious.  Meaning, don’t show everything.  Just show enough to mystify them and then leave some details for their imagination.  That way, they will keep on thinking about you.  Now a tip for the ladies who has flabs like mine, don’t lose hope.  You can still wear a swimsuit to the beach.  I suggest that you go for a tankini.  It shows enough skin but hides the rest.  Hehehe…

Knobs can say a lot of things.

   Posted by: michy   in General

industrial knobs Isn’t it annoying when you try to open a cabinet or a door and the knob is broken?  I remember this advert of Tide, a popular brand of a detergent bar where they are trying to emphasis how important to have a proper handle on a lot of things can make life easier for those who are using it.  So they came up with a bar soap with a contour that served as a handle.  Which is why I love the company that I work with, for our facilities department made sure that everything is in order.  From the faucets that we have to the industrial knobs that are placed on our cabinets and specially on the doors that we have since we can’t leave it open all the time for security reasons.  As an employee, I guess one thing that we should always take into consideration, aside from the benifits that our company is giving us, is the convenience and the security that they provide to their employee.  For through simple things like having a working equipment and secured work place all the time shows that the company truly cares about its employees.

Again fate had reminded me…

   Posted by: michy   in General

Today our friend fate has reminded me how a simple act of carelessness can lead into a tragedy.  It had also taught me to be thankful for who and what I am.  I have never been so glad about my over compulsiveness until today.  For because of this trait I tend to follow the rules to the dot.  I am also glad that I gave interest to my electronics subject back when I was in highschool and that I listen to my dad when he teaches me about stuff because I have learned some safety tips on how to avoid electrical accidents.  If it was not for these things, I could have burned my hand or worse I could have electricuted myself if I was holding the wire instead of the plug when I was plugging an electronic device into an electrical outlet.  When I was plugging in the plug, the wires of the extension unit had shortcircuited.  Whew!  Hearing the big pop and the smoke on my left hand gave me quiet a scare.  I was in a bit of a shock looking at my blackened hand.  So let this be a lesson to all of us.  Always remember that a small act of safety can avoid big tragedies.

How to remain connected when traveling…

   Posted by: michy   in General

unlocked-cell-phones One of the worries of traveling outside the country is how to stay connected to the people that you work with and to your love ones back home. Although, there are a lot of choices to choose from, having a cell phone with you is in my opinion, the best way to stay connected.  And thank God for our technology nowadays, our network service providers can now provide international roaming services to enable us to use our cell phone lines outside of the country.  However, it will still be a good idea to have an unlocked cell phone (these are cell phones that allows you to insert sim cards of any network companies) with you when you go outside of the country. That way you won’t be incommunicado when the roaming service of your network is unavailable. All you need to do, is buy a sim card of a local network provider in the country you’re in and insert it into your phone! Easy right?! And it’s quiet convenient too, for you don’t need to buy a new phone when your roaming service goes unavailable in the countries that you go to.  So go to a cell phone store now and ask about unlocked cell phones. Cell phone companies like Nokia, Motorola, Sony and Samsung has a wide range of phones to choose from. But do choose wisely. Choose the phone that has the features that you truly need.

Just how crazy can your colleagues get?

   Posted by: michy   in General

Another tiring day for me. It’s already 9AM and I just arrived home. We had a meeting (as usual) about a lot of things. Most of them are about our action plans and some of them are about senseless things. And it seems that my boss and the rest of the team has made it a part of the objectives of the business to find me a boyfriend. Sheesh… Do I really look that desperate? They even suggested that I go on VL this weekend so that I can go with them to party. They said that will help. And I was like, and what is the assurance that I will be getting a boyfriend if I go out and party? Which was a rhetorical question which made them laugh… What the heck?! And then my brilliant boss came up with an idea that I should have a date on Saturday night. And so she instructed my colleague to ask his brother to go with us to become my date. And they were like Michy we’re sure by Monday you will call Will as your brother-in-law. Crazy! Crazy people! Just when I thought I got away from people who are desperate to find me a boyfriend (like my dad), here comes my friends and colleagues. Am I really that old to not have a boyfriend these days? Sheesh…

P.S.

Mark gave me a copy of Avatar. He did not lend it but gave it. He really kept his word! Thanks Mark! (At least now I don’t have to worry about returning them. hehehe…)

Stick with you

   Posted by: michy   in General

by Pussycat dolls

I don’t want to go another day
So I’m telling you exactly what is on my mind
Seems like everybody is breaking up
Throwing their love away
I know I got a good thing right here
That’s why I say

Nobody’s going to love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody’s going to take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you
My baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

I don’t want to go another day
So I’m telling you exactly what is on my mind
See the way we ride
In our private lives
Ain’t nobody getting in between
I want you to know that you’re the only one for me
And I say

Nobody’s going to love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody’s going to take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you
My baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

And now
Ain’t nothing else I can need
And now
I’m singing ’cause you’re so, so into me
I got you
We’ll be making love endlessly
I’m with you
Baby, you’re with me

So don’t you worry about
People hanging around
They ain’t bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that’s all that counts
So don’t you worry about
People hanging around
They ain’t bringing us down
I know you and you know me
And that’s why I say

Nobody’s going to love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody’s going to take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you
My baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

Nobody’s going to love me better
I must stick with you forever
Nobody’s going to take me higher
I must stick with you
You know how to appreciate me
I must stick with you
My baby
Nobody ever made me feel this way
I must stick with you

This must be my favorite pussycat dolls song of all time!  But I don’t have anybody to sing it to yet.  ;-)

Outdoor Ads

   Posted by: michy   in General

digital signageDue to globalization, winning your targeted market becomes tougher and tougher.  Companies who wants to remain competetive are on the lookout for the best way to reach a wider audience to promote their products.  Hence Outdoor Ads was born.  Although outdoor ads are not new in the world of advertisement.  It’s only the media used that changes but the concept is old.  Outdoor ads can go back to ancient Greece and ancient Rome were businessmen used papyrus to advertise their products.  As technology evolved, people started printing it on paper (when printing machines were invented), then we have the billboards which I think replaced the wall painting ad campaign concept in most countries and then my favorite of all, the digital signage ad which, I think was pioneered by the Japanese (you will have to correct me on this if am wrong).   The good thing about digital signage is it’s so versatile that you can use it indoors.  Companies can also use them to communicate important information to it’s employees, it’s eye catching so information can be desiminated faster (I mean who wouldn’t look up to those moving images right?).  It’s cost effective (for companies who wants to improve their sales, for compared to putting an ad on tv digital signage gives you more “air time”), effiecient (for you wouldn’t need to have your employees waste their time giving out pamphlets) and above all it’s environment friendly (for you don’t need paper for this concept.  All you need is a screen to display the images and a media player to play the ad).
