Starting a business is expensive, even if you plan on being a sole proprietor who works from home. In the early stages, it helps to consider how much it will cost to get started and where you can secure funding if you haven’t got enough money to fuel your idea independently. Running a crowdfunding campaign is a great way to get funding from people who want to see you succeed. To help get more attention for your campaign, be sure to reach out to Glamou…

Across the world, the pandemic created a seismic shift in how we as a people interact and do business with one another. Dining out, watching movies, even the simple act of shaking someone’s hand has fundamentally changed. Every imaginable industry was given only a few months to adapt. One of the industries affected the most is the education sector, ever since we’ve grown accustomed to face-to-face learning in classrooms. With no immediate end in sight for the pandemic, like everyone else, the necessity to adapt is present.

The recently concluded EduTECH Philippines 2020 conference displayed how adapting to the new normal is possible. The conference was supposed to be held physically but had to abruptly transition to a digital platform. It served as a welcome opportunity to exhibit how the future of teaching and education can be shaped through technology. LG, one of the global leaders in technology innovation, joined #EduTECHPhil together with over 40 other presentations, all giving de…

Our lives have been disrupted and impacted by the pandemic in unprecedented ways. The corona virus has affected our day to day lives and is slowing down the economy for almost six months – and people still cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. During these hard times, an organization who works under the radar are helping Filipinos to cope up on the effects of the pandemic.
Love Plus Charity Foundation, an organization founded by Chinese national, Hu Sun, started to provide aid in their own little ways by means of food delivery for front liners on different checkpoints, across several cities back in March when the government imposed city lockdowns in the country. The organization wanted to reach remote areas that were not focused on by mainstream media – which draw attention from several individuals and organizations, that lead to the growth of donation to the foundation.

 “We are not brothers by blood, but we think of Filipinos as a part of our family because they welcomed us …

I'm looking for quarters for laundry so I thought it'll be a good idea to start searching from my coinbank and coin purses. There's a coin shortage in United States since the pandemic because people don't go out and shop or pay thru cash so some business establishments are offering to exchange your coins. I only go out once on a weekend to go grocery shopping for my weekly essentials. I knew there's a Coinstar machine at Jewel-Osco so I decided to go there and brought my coins. 
1. You have to select which method you would like to get paid: Cash, E-giftcard, donate it to charity or buy Bitcoins from the machine!2. After confirming, pour the coins to the machine. Rejected coins are coming out at the bottom so you can pick up again and throw it again. 3. Once all coins went inside the machine, select "you're done" with the transaction and receipt will be issued from the machine.4. Go to the nearest cashier to exchange it for cash. Then you're all set…

Super heroes and fans Assemble! This live action-packed innovative battle has been so successful!
I saw the commercial on TV and I immediately purchased our tickets. It was held at All State Arena in Rosemont, IL so it's an easy commute on a summer day of September 2015.



Featuring your favorite Marvel superheroes from Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man and their best villains battle on stage! I love the entire show and Loki's charisma never fails the audience! The set has the best cutting-edge technology special effects, aerial stunts and video projection. This event is for all ages. I enjoyed the entire show especially watching the amazing stunts and storyline. I even lined up for souvenirs just to buy the special tumbler that glows! I hope there will be another show (another storyline) so that I can watch it again.




I captured some clips during the show and I hope you enjoy watching.

I visited the Field Museum in Chicago and I encountered this mold-a-rama machine. To my curiosity, I inserted my money (forgot if it's $3 or $5), selected the toy I wanted and then the machine started working. This molding process took only a minute, the two aluminum plates holds the melted plastic and then cooled and hardened. The best part of this is you'll able to take this home right away after it's created. I love to collect plastic dinosaur toys!




Mold-a-Rama company was established in 1960s in Chicago and it's one of the best souvenir I've ever had during my visit to the museum.

The machines have different toy features during your museum or zoo visit. So you better check out if they have special designs. Also, another tip is to look around the surroundings. There maybe a lot of interesting toy machine souvenirs (aside from coins, pins, magnets).

Here's the official website and the list of toys:

Parades, concerts and fireworks in our neighborhood are all canceled due to Covid-19. So,  I compile some photos and videos from last year's celebration.

Happy 4th of July!
Enjoy!

Rooms have no time limits and can host up to 50 people (I can now imagine the chaos of people talking at the same time!). You can also join even if you don't have a Facebook account. Just click the invite link and you're able to join. There were some issues for some users who don't update their Facebook Messenger app and browser compatibility.

On our 50th day of self-quarantine and stay at home order in United States. I'm currently working from home and went outside 3x since March 15 when stay at home order was implemented.

I've created a short video clip on my daily life and stuff that I did during those days. Nothing much to detail, more on eating! Just to remind everyone to continue practice social distancing, wash your hands, sanitize and call your health provider if you're not feeling well (don't go outside).

I went to my doctor appointment on April and there were very strict when I called to schedule my visit. They asked first how are you feeling and some questions related to symptoms of Covid-19. They also asked if someone in the family is sick or if you have been exposed to someone who has been tested positive. When I entered the front entrance of the clinic, there were nurses standing by. I registered my name and they took my temperature. Upon entering the counter to check in, it took me like few mi…
