Last month, my work mate and I went to Cagayan de Oro to scout for shops that accept orders for custom tshirts. And we end up at Modtrade company.  They showed us their sample shirts and they have good quality cloth.   We have seen a lot of their samples and they even helped us draw out the design we want to have with a promise that we will email them the logo to be used in the shirt. Time came for the orders, I did not go along anymore. But when the orders came, they were nicely done and surely will be sold at a good price and surely the customer will be happy about it.  The shirts will be out on sale next week and many are looking forward to it.

Mouse is Dead!

Or shall I saw mouse is broken.  It was a Christmas gift to me and weeks ago, it feel from my bed and made it dysfunctional.  It won’t click anymore.  I wish I can open it if I have my own set screw but since I do not have one, I am planning to bring the mouse to a friend who get screws surely they can open it and check what is wrong with it.

It is a white one and I love it. Stuff given to me as gifts have sentimental value so I really felt bad when it won’t function anymore. I am not yet ready to own a new one. ;)

By the way, his name is snowmouse ^^ since it was on my Christmas wish list and my manita gave that mouse in response to my wishlist. =)

Bosch. They Want Life Easier for You

If you take a look in the garage or shed. Maybe under the stairs in the toolbox. Chances are you’ll find a Bosch appliance. From tools to appliances, you can find Bosch washing machines, Bosch dishwashers, even Bosch wine coolers. They have fingers in a lot of pies and they have been around for a very long time doing it well.

Originally starting in Germany over 120 years ago, Bosch has always had an interest in the home. It’s where we spend most of our time, and for all the parents out there, you’ll see just how they work tirelessly to provide appliances that ease the burden for you. For example, every dishwasher they make comes with a 10 year anti rust warranty. That’s pretty sweet and shows a commitment to their work. They have also made the world’s more environmentally friendly dishwasher. It only uses 6.5 litres of water per clean. Considering we use up to 50 litres at a time then cleaning by hand that’s pretty incredible!

One thing I’ve discovered is that when you need to do the laundry, it will inevitably come at a time when the baby needs to nap. When the high pitched whine of the spin cycle kicks in, it can prove noisy enough to disturb them.  Which can be annoying, especially if it took the whole pre-wash and main cycle just to get them asleep!

Bosch have a clever spiral design in the walls of their washing machines. It also has improved sound insulation and shock absorbers. All this works towards giving you a very quite laundry experience. And hopefully, a still sleeping child.

They may be known for power tools, but Bosch can certainly provide the soft touch you need too!

Each Moment

Life is marvelous, but you only get one. The ultimate point of living is to be 100% happy, and enjoy yourself, but how many people do you think actually do this? Not enough. You can’t blame people either, with life comes responsibility, and these responsibilities can lead to unhappiness.

To help brighten your life, enlighten you to the importance of each and every second of it, I’ve compiled a list of things to make you happy:

1. The Steve Jobs’ way:

“If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I’m about to do today.” Steve Jobs used to ask himself this each, and every, morning. When he had to reply “No” too often, he made a change in his life. That’s how important your everyday tasks are when it comes to overall happiness. So I challenge you to start asking yourself this, every morning, if you answer “No” more than three times in a row, you need to change something.

2. The bank of time:

“Time is money.” Ever heard that expression? It’s incredibly accurate. Each day, you are gifted with 86,400 valuable seconds. Use them wisely, please. Too many of us are worried about the future. We miss out on experiencing something awesome, because we’re worried about future consequences. Live each moment as if it’s the only one that counts.

3. The glass is always half full:

I bet you are starting to think that, hey, this isn’t possible. There’s no way you can constantly be doing things to be happy. Well, actually, you can. The thing you need to remember is that every cloud has a silver lining, and the cup is always half full. Not everything you do will lead to immediate happiness, but everything you do should lead to eventual happiness. That is the core lesson to take away here.

So to conclude, you should consider this: Happiness isn’t aways just a feeling, it’s a state of mind. It’s the perspective you have on life. These are all factors we control, so yes, you can control your happiness. If this has interested you then a Anthony Robbins coupon might be right up your street!

Following these tips obviously won’t release you from miserable responsibilities such as paying your bills, etc. but will help you realize that it’s not really all that bad. Paying the bills allows you to have electricity and gas etc. and don’t you enjoy these things? I sure do. So please, next time you feel down, remember the lessons learnt in this post.

Right Attire for Climbing

This is China Team! The first group that reached the finished line. It was so good to see them arrived first as the climb was not an easy one if one is not used to racing uphill.  They look good in their uniforms.  Most teams were in their uniforms except and they all looked good.  They had the right attire. They all looked sporty.  If these guys were just at home today lazing around, some of them would possibly in their summer wear.

A group is also planning to visit a maternity hospital to distribute some plus size maternity dresses to those maternity patients. Maybe some will be too big for small women but still they can use it when they will be asleep as maternity clothes are at times the most comfy wear at night especially those who are breastfeeding.  It brought me back to maternity years. I had a couple of maternity dresses but gave them away after I gave birth.

For now, I just love wearing tees and shorts when at home.

How to Make Injury Claims in Pedestrian Accidents

A pedestrian accident can happen in different ways at any time, in any place. Sometimes you get hit when you’re on your bike or walking with your bicycle. Even just by standing around while waiting for a ride. No matter how or when it happens, a pedestrian accident includes you and a car racing to hell, and no one wins this kind of fight. Fortunately, you can win in court, but proceeding to court requires filing a claim. The following are the steps to follow when this kind of pedestrian accident happens to you.

Call the Police

Calling the Police may sound obvious, but a lot of people don’t think about doing this if they aren’t in a car during an accident. The differences between a pedestrian accident and an auto accident are fairly small. You still need the police to file a report so there’s a public record of the accident.

Seek Medical Attention

As any New York bicycle accident lawyer could tell you, getting medical attention is a key component to later filing a suit and potentially winning a settlement. A doctor or other hospital staff could attest to the fact that you sought out medical attention. It’s easy for a defense attorney to say that you weren’t injured in the accident.

Get the Other Party’s Details

The other party may or may not be proven at fault. Regardless of what the judge and jury will ultimately find, gathering the other person’s vital information is necessary for you to stay connected with their insurance company. The driver’s name, address and other contact information will all be useful in settling if the matter ends up going to court.

Take Pictures of the Scene

The old online meme of “No pics, didn’t happen” applies in court more than anywhere else. When a judge or jury sees pictures of what happened in the accident, they will gain a more thorough understanding and be more inclined to believe you. This is particularly true when it comes to the injuries the driver inflicted on you.

Get Information on Any Witnesses

Witnesses are also critical people to have on your side in court. The more people you could gather to verify your story, the better. If the driver and anyone else in their car try to collude against you and say anything that reduces their level of fault, credible witnesses will give you the highest possibility to win the case.

R & R @ Lake Apo

Today is not one of my lazy day but I am wishing am out somewhere doing and R & R at Lake Apo in Bukidnon.  I’ve been there once and I when I left I promised that I have to go back once more if not many times.

The place, Dr. Almer called it “The Timeless Place” is an idyllic place to for relaxation.  Far from the noise of city life.  Life can be peaceful because it’s not anytime that your phone will beep for an incoming message or will ring for an incoming call. If your mind is really set to be free from city hustle and bustle at least for the weekend, you will be able to leave the place refreshed and rejuvinated.

PhotobucketOne of the views you can enjoy there.

The view there was really breathtaking that if the rest house have if they have they have one of those Adirondack rocking chair at AdirondackChairs.com, then you would enjoy the view in a more relaxing way. They do have reclining wooden seats that adds up to the elegant country living, but I wish they also have the rocking chairs.

Express Service at Xtremely Xpresso Cafe, Subic

I had the chance to try the services of Extremely Xpresso Cafe in Subic Bay, Olongapo City the other year.  Our host (Mitch of Mitchteryosa) treated me and some of our Kuro Kapatid for a dinner there.  It was the first time Mitch and I met after more than six years of being online friends.  That was my first personal trip to Manila after sometime and I did not let the chance pass by without meeting her for real.

PhotobucketOne of the things I observed was the quick serving of orders.  No wonder the place is full.  Foreign service men also loves to dine there with their families.  I bet one of the reasons why people keep coming back is because of the systematic Restaurant System they got. For some people, time is very precious and dilly-dallying is not in their vocabulary.  So we were lucky that time, because no time was wasted as some of our friends has to travel back to Manila that afternoon.
