Tips in Improving Office Hygiene

Image
[caption id="attachment_6936" align="aligncenter" width="448"] Hygiene 24 and Hygiene Pro[/caption] How do you take care of your workplace? It is really important for us to keep our place clean and free from germs. We all know that the whole office gradually contacts different viruses and one way of reducing it is to set a high standard in cleaning your own place. Aside from using hygienic supplies like disinfectants, hand sanitizer and cleaning materials - I highly recommend you also to use Hygiene Pro (this solution is best for surfaces for both home and businesses). Office equipment like computer keyboard and mouse which are frequently shared daily and bacteria passed around the office. We are not aware of these things but it is better if we sanitize our hands before and after our work so that we can avoid the spread of viruses, Hygiene 24 has 24 hour bacterial protection for personal use. We don't want our employees to get sick each day, thus,

Image
What I wish for December is to watch Elton John's concert at the Big Dome happening on December 8. I know that this is going to be one of the most successful concert of 2012 at No Other Venue - Smart Araneta Coliseum. Sir Elton John is not only a talented musician but also popular on some quotes for his thoughts. These precious thoughts garnered a lot of interests and some sparks controversies. Here are some of his famous quotes to share: On pop princess Britney Spears: “I do like Britney Spears. I think she’s cute. I think she’s fun. And I like her records. You know, I’m not a pop snob whatsoever. I think she makes great pop records.” On rock and roll: “The great thing about rock and roll is that someone like me can be a star.” On living life to the fullest : “Live for each second without hesitation.” On success: “The whole point of being in this business is and being blessed is that you’re able to do things for your friends or family, which means they can have something special i

It's Christmas season once again and in each every places you can see different attractions prepared by local governments, business establishments and organizations. Each attractions offer a lot of themes about Christmas and I was very fortunate to visit some of it (and counting!). Last time, Meralco finally opened its own Liwanag Park which features Christmas light displays and attractions that were made of scrap copper wire, a mini train ride for visitors, the Toy Town and a bazaar. The park is open until January 6, from 6-10 pm. If you are traveling along Ortigas Avenue, you can see this park glowing and feel the spirit of Christmas. I was surprised to find out that Meralco organized such kind of huge Christmas project through the partnership of Department of Tourism and several LGUs in decorating of a giant parol and 500 boxes of Christmas lights. This partnership aims to brighten the country during the Christmas season and to put it on the map as one of the world's best t

We need to be THANKFUL for Everything

Image
I was just thinking to create a post related to Thanksgiving. I know that we don't usually celebrate this in our country but I have seen on my timeline (Facebook & Twitter) that there were establishments that offer good discounts whether a shop till you drop one day sale or offering food treats. The world is so beautiful and we're lucky that we have experience a good life in this amazing world we live in. There were times we often feel bad of what's happening around us and those tough times we have encountered, no matter how hard it is - let us always remember that there are still good things that we should be grateful for. How about you, what you're giving THANKS FOR? image source http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61Z3NDB245L._SL500_AA300_.jpg

I wasn't able to attend the Fun Meet due to some personal reasons (budget & health wise, hehehe) until I read my Twitter timeline and saw tweets from my fan girl friends that they are going to meet at Glorietta. It was really unplanned because I am just few steps away, attending "blogopolis" at Makati Shang rila (Lee Min Ho's hotel during his stay here in Manila) . I was really clueless on his whereabouts, because I've been busy with so many other important things (WORK) and decided not to see him (that's new to me!). I was reading all Tweets and monitoring every now and then until my phone's battery got empty. And I decided to take a 'glimpse' of Lee Min Ho at Glorietta. Am so happy to find out that my fan girl friends were also waiting for Lee Min Ho. Wow, when was the last time I saw them (

Google PageRank Update: It's more of the value NOT the numbers

Image
I was checking other SEO news sites regarding the latest update of Google PageRank (that green toolbar on your browser that ranks 1-10) . So, why people are keep on debating if its still valuable or not? My blog has been infected by Malware few months ago. That took me a lot of time to re-organize and re-structure from my blog's contents, links and even my old uploaded images were gone :( Redirecting some old links gave me headaches until I gave up and decided to switch off temporarily my Archives folder (that's the main reason why you didn't see any Archives section on this blog and forced my site not to load it). Judging from what happened, I am  "AWARE" that my site will drop its rankings and still thankful that I can still blog (and thanks to some sponsors who are very supportive!) . I don't have much time to fix my old posts and planning to work on it during weekends but rarely got a chance :( The frustration and everything was there. BUT... I am still H
