Green Shopping

There has been a lot of efforts and awareness programs all over the world to promote ways and means to save our environment. The government, non government groups, and universities work together in creating awareness and disseminating information about the real situation of our environment. Documentaries and movies were created to somehow make people aware of what is truly happening in our planet; and how are we going to prevent it from becoming worst.

In the retail industry, one of the efforts in saving the environment that they are promoting is green shopping. Online shopping is one way of practicing green shopping. Sites that are into online shopping like buy.com has a "thumbs up" on green shopping. Here in the Philippines, supermarkets and appliance stores also promotes green shopping by giving recyclable shopping bags. They give green recyclable grocery bags in supermarkets; and blue recyclable shopping bags in appliance stores. And in case the shoppers did not bring the recyclable bags with them, paper bags are used to pack the items they bought.

We can also do something for the environment. We don't need to be part of a group to be able to perform our share in taking care of the environment. All we need to do is to cooperate and be conscious with our ways and actions, especially if it would affect the environment.

Business Venture - Custom Hats

I have been thinking a lot lately about venturing into a small business. There are a lot of business ideas flowing inside my head and even my dear best friend is giving his ideas and inputs; he too is very excited and very eager to join me in my business ventures. We agreed that we will venture into tote bags business. I'll prepare my own design and outsource the rest of the process of production. I already have an "initial" target market, or should I say my first clients (big grin). Right now though, I am still looking for a factory/office that offers cutting & sewing services. And I am also trying to save money to use as capital for my "pilot production" hehehe.. Anyway, I am really praying that this "plan" would give me an opportunity to venture into more small business, like small pouch, wallets or even custom hats. For now, I'll just focus more in the tote bags. Wish me lucK! (big grin).

Lazy Weekend

This has been a lazy weekend for me. Actually, last weekend was also a lazy weekend. I stayed home, watched tv, checked my blogs, read a book and eat. There are a few things that I wanted to complete but unfortunately, because I was feeling so lazy I was not able to do any of it (sad face). It seems that I have lost my focus. I feel distracted. I am not in the mood.

Today, I stayed in the sofa the whole day. Watching TV and playing games online. Once in a while I would play with my dog; and go to the bathroom. I noticed that I am very emotional too. I was watching this variety show that is supposed to be fun to watch, but when the artist started talking about the show's last and final performance, I was crying (big grin).

I'm not sure what's happening to me. But I know it is not good. I have been actually feeling this way since Friday. Met with one of my close friends, hoping it would change my mood.. my aura. But it seems nothing changed.

I'm hoping for a better week this time.

Scanning Software

I was trying to find a supplier for a certain network switch that offers this special kind of service. One of our technical engineers emailed me yesterday, requesting for pricing for this new requirement of their group. As I was doing my research, I came across this site that offers document scanning software. The site and the products being offered is quite interesting. I tried to recall the scanning software we used to have from my previous employer; but unfortunately, I can't remember (big grin). Maybe I should have had my brain scanned so I don't have to worry recalling memories hehehe... Anyway, I am still searching for this network switch; I had to remind myself that our requirement is the network switch, hehe.. We already have a scanning device in the office that uses its own software.

Stars and Boulevards

Sharing here lyrics of the song - Stars and Boulevards by Augustana. In the office this morning, I was playing tracks by Augustana as my back ground music, while I try to keep my focus with work (big grin). I have heard this song several times already, but when I heard it this morning, it sounded.. different. I had to play it again.. and again (big grin) and enjoyed listening to it. I don't know what made it "different", but I truly like the lyrics and the melody of the song. 'Love the chorus and the fourth stanza (smiles). I hope you'll like this song too.

Wait dear, a white horse is walking down my street here,
Your words are creeping at my feet
I fear, sunrise will come too soon and you'll disappear
Into the haze of this city and go south...

Look out, they're coming after us with big guns,
They're only gonna tell you all the bad things I've done
Even if they words they say aren't true they've won,
Now I'm left here dying in the sun

Oh...seems like I'm always on my own,
Seems like I'm never coming home
Seems like I'm always on my own...
All the stars and boulevards aren't close enough for you...

Late nights, won't do me justice
Cause when I drink...I just get so damn depressed,
And its not like, I ain't trying to get over you.
It's just hard to look at all the seasons, pass me over too...

Oh...seems like I'm always on my own,
Seems like I'm never coming home
Seems like I'm always on my own...
All the stars and boulevards ain't close enough for you...

One last phone call from you, it wouldn't hurt much,
Just like to hear your voice and pretend to touch,
Any inch of you that hasn't said it all or read it all or sung
My life away
