sick sweetie

I pity my sweetie who's sick now. I hope it's not swine flu! He has a fever since early sunday and still getting the chills until now. I've been urging him to go visit their company doctor so he would know how to treat himself. It sucks that he's in Laguna and I can't be with him to take care of him. He's like a little boy when he's sick! After a lot debating he finally went to get a check up. I hope he gets well soon with the meds the doctor gave him.

53rd monthsary
Sofitel

We were just supposed to deliver some chocolate orders for a wedding at sofitel... he invited me to take a stroll, overlooking the bay... we stopped at a nice spot ...he started fumbling with his digicam (to supposedly video the whole thing) ...then his cousin suddenly called to invite us for lunch (which somehow got him off his momentum) ...then he picked up the pace and put on some music using his cell phone (you are the love of my life) ...then started professing his love ...i started getting teary eyed ...he knelt down ...then suddenly his camera went out of memory space when he was just about to take off the ring from the box! (hehe!) ...didn't matter ...of course i said yes!!! :)

happiness!!!

motorcycle accidents

It’s unfortunate to learn about those motorcycle accidents happening every so often. Riding motorcycles can really be very dangerous. I would even discourage friends to ride them if they can help it. Or at least be very careful when riding them and to not forget to wear a helmet. Anyway, if you are one of those who got into an accident while riding your motorcycle, it would be better to get a lawyer who specializes on cases like that like a San Jose motorcycle accident attorney. I’m sure there are local lawyers out there who have lots of experiences with these kinds of cases.

mojo

I have so many backlogs again. I wonder why I don’t feel like blogging lately. Am I getting saturated? Or am I just really getting addicted to facebook that I barely get to do the stuff that I should really be doing? Well, I refuse to admit the latter. Anyway, I hope I get to finish all my backlogs and probably even do some advance postings so that my blogs would have new content every few days. I hope I get my blogging mojo back!

planning

Yes, we are starting to plan our wedding already. The financial aspect is making my head hurt so bad. Oh well. Sometimes I just want to get it over with and just focus on the marriage and putting up our own family! Anyway, I vow to just enjoy the wedding planning. I know there are a million things that I should think about. It’s a good thing that I have wedding planning experiences so hopefully this should be a bit easier. Anyway, we’re still deciding on the main aspects like the church, reception venue, caterer, and photo/video suppliers. Of course there are still the small details to think about like the invitations, bridesmaid gifts, guest souvenirs, bridal car, flowers, etc. The list just goes on and on. Oh well. I hope we get to maintain our sanity while planning for our own wedding.

switching doctors

It's really hard when you don't see the same doctor whenever you go for a consultation.

I was scheduled to go for a consultation with a specific doctor. I went on the date she specified to me, but it turns out, she had a convention that day and she wouldn't be there, thus having to consult with her reliever instead.

Anyway, I did everything the reliever doctor told me. I bought and religiously drink all the medicines she prescribed me and ordered me to go back after two weeks. By the time I went back, I saw my original doctor already. After telling her what the reliever doctor told me and prescribed, she seemed puzzled and seemed like questioning the reliever doctor's prescribed medicines as well as the laboratory test schedules she gave me. Anyway, in the end, she prescribed me a different set of medicines and rescheduled my lab tests.

Oh well...

waiting

I hate waiting in hospitals. I feel I get sicker just waiting for my turn to go on consultation with the doctor. Sitting with the other patients, I can't help but wonder what their conditions are and hoping that it's nothing contagious.

It's just irritating the last time I went to the doctor.I waited for almost 2 hours for a doctor who wouldn't be coming after all. Grrrr... I had the option to see another doctor instead, but I would really prefer seeing just one and sticking to her since she would know my history already, instead of switching doctors (whoever is available).

vacation

It has been quite awhile since we had a family vacation. I think the last one was last 2006 when the whole family went to Hong Kong. It was really fun but I wished that we stayed longer. I hope we have another vacation like that. I hope this time it’s by the beach. I know that there are so many options where to go to. There are a lot of resorts and hotels to choose from. The destination options are endless. Just looking at the karisma hotels and beach resorts in mexico makes me not think about swine flu anymore! I hope that epidemic gets contained so it wouldn’t be so risky to travel anymore.

degree programs

What degree program did you choose? There really are a lot of degree programs to choose from. I think one must think about which one to take thoroughly. Ask yourself what you really want to do with your life. I know some are stuck with the degrees that they took and are leading a career that they are not happy with. Well, it’s not yet too late. You can enroll in those online universities to pursue the careers that you really want. Check out capella.edu to know more about your options. You do not have to resign from your work to get another degree! Grab this opportunity to really go after your dream career.

sick of it

I’m getting saturated hearing all those stories about the Hayden Kho scandal. I think we should be devoting more time to more important issues like the Con Ass. I know that some politicians are riding the band wagon and taking advantage of this Hayden Kho scandal just so that they would be able to establish their own “good image”.

gondolas

The kind of display racks or gondolas really play a big part in designing the selling area where a store showcases the products that they are selling. There are a lot of options to choose from ranging from glass showcases, Gondola 2 sided units, Gondola end cap, Gondola wall type unit and a whole lot more. Retailers must optimize the use of these different display tools which should be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The type of display tool used would dictate how your product is to be displayed. It affects the total display look. It can also aid in ensuring an orderly display.

There are a lot of companies distributing these display tools that retailers can choose from. One must first determine which type their store needs. Measurements are essential so make sure to take note of the length, height, and width specifications in order to make sure that everything would fit. Anyway, some companies can give an online quote for your display tools needs.

I somehow miss my previous company especially when I had a baby project of increasing the sales of the smallest branch using the retailer initiative’s principles. It was quite a challenge since the store had only limited amount of space, thus it can only hold limited amount of products. Evaluating how many and what types of gondolas and coolers are to be placed in which area was necessary.

The layout of each store is carefully planned out in order to optimize the selling area. Sometimes there would be some small racks by the cashier to feature some products that the cashier would usually plus sell. Lately I’ve been seeing some fresh bananas or those chocolate bon bons. Case studies were made in order to optimize the placement of which product relative to one another. There really is a lot of ways to display the products that a store is selling. Most would make use of a mixture of Gondola wall units, Gondola 2 sided units as well as Gondola end cap units. But since that branch was so small, it mostly used up gondola wall units.


catching up

It was really nice being able to see my grade school friends through facebook. It's been such a long time since I've had any communication with them. It's a bit sad that so much have happened and we barely kept in touch. There's so much to catch up on. It's a bit melancholic remembering our grade school days and how much we've had so much fun, but now we barely know each other. Oh well. I wish we kept in touch more...

fenphedra

What is Fenphedra? It is one of those diet pills that you can opt to take in order to lose weight. If you want to know more about it, you can read reviews at dietpill.net. Just make sure that before you decide in taking any of these diet pills, consult with your doctor and get clearance that it is safe for you to take. I’m starting to get desperate when it comes to losing weight but I’m still holding off taking these diet pills and still battling it out the natural way.

twisted ankle

I just got home from doing the grocery and was on my way to the kitchen to put away the stuff I bought into their proper places. As I passed near the refrigerator, I didn't notice that there was a pool of water which leaked out from it. It was just a split second when I just felt my left foot slipped and felt my ankle hit the floor, twisting my foot inwards. While holding the grocery bags in both hands, I was fortunately able to regain my balance by leaning on a stool. I couldn't move for a few seconds since I could immediately feel the pain on my left foot. It hurts badly stepping using my left foot. Anyway, I think this is the 3rd or 4th time that I have twisted my ankle so I'm more or less used to how to treat it. It just sucks not being to move around as much as I want to. I hope the pain would go away pretty soon.

rare coins

Do you have some rare coins out there? Are you one of those coin collectors? You’ll be surprised how much those rare coins cost already. You may have hit a gold mine! Collecting these rare coins can actually be a form of investment. So in case you have any of these, just hang on to them. In the years we don’t know how much more they would be worth. Some really take the pains of hunting for some rare coins and buying them out, with the hope that their worth would appreciate so much more in the years to come. Well, they actually usually do!

Crazy over Restaurant City

My Pet Society days are over. Now, my new addiction is Restaurant City. I guess it somehow virtually fulfills my dream of owning my own restaurant. I enjoy decorating and rearranging my restaurant. I hope I get to the top level soon so I would have bigger space. I hope they add more features to the application before I get to my saturation point.

Here's how my restaurant evolved as I leveled up...
