I'm Inspired.....

For my graduating students... i'm blessed in having you.... thank you for the memories.... uncomparable beyond explanation..... the reason for my breathing..... i would always remember the days shared...

I appreciate the happy sad memories we had .....

Reaction Paper.....

Loreland Farm Resort was an ideal place or venue for holding special events including seminars, meetings, birthday, wedding, anniversary, baptismal, and for business purposes as it offered function rooms, reception areas, seminar halls and other event facilities. The employees were efficient and intuitive for their technical support and assistance during our seminar and overnight stay.

In the seminar proper, I have learned additional knowledge about Events Management. I knew that learning Events Management is not only on preparing and anticipating the good flow and success of an event. It is also about on managing problems and hindrances that might be occurred before, during and after of an event. I’ve learned also that Events Management is about resolving conflicts among the leader and members involved and eliminating errors and imperfections due to financial and time constraints. Possible solutions should be made like having back-up plans and support concept papers and statements. Giving great efforts and initiative will be worth it. I have learned also about basic marketing concepts that were an advantage as an HRM student.
This another wonderful experience gave a brilliant idea that life is like an event, we do not know if it will be successful or will lead to failure unless you have initiative to give your full and great efforts to make the best of it and achieve what you want to happen. There are some conflicts and problems, but you must have the faith and courage to face it by upgrading your self-confidence and self-esteem to make it the best. Have some fallbacks and alternative plans in case of uncertainties and accept changes that at the end of the day, everything will be consistent and stable.
          This another kind of experience will serve as wonderful memories of making precious moments together enjoying while learning. The knowledge that I’ve learned during my 4 years of studying Hotel and Restaurant Management, will also serve as a tool for me to apply the knowledge I’ve gained in the real hotel and restaurant industry and in any other field.

Magic 8 Ball Says:

Pertaining to a yes or no!...

We have been searching east to west finally found it.... Hobbes Llandes go go for magic 8 ball....

The Magic 8-Ball is a hollow plastic sphere resembling an oversized, black and white 8-ball. Inside is a cylindrical reservoir containing a white, plastic, icosahedral die floating in alcohol with dissolved dark blue dye. The die is hollow, with openings in each face, allowing the die to fill with fluid, giving the plastic die minimal buoyancy. Each of the 20 faces of the die has an affirmative, negative, or non-committal statement printed on it in raised letters. There is a transparent window on the bottom of the 8-ball through which these messages can be read.


To use the ball, it must be held with the window initially facing down. After "asking the ball" a yes-or-no question, the user then turns the ball so that the window faces up, setting in motion the liquid and die inside. When the die floats to the top and one of its faces is pressed against the window, the raised letters displace the blue liquid to reveal the message as white letters on a blue background. Contrary to popular belief, it is not necessary (or recommended) to shake or jostle the ball before turning it, as doing so can create air bubbles that may visually distort the answer.

The 20 standard answers on a Magic 8-Ball are:
As I see it, yes
It is certain
It is decidedly so
Most likely
Outlook good
Signs point to yes
Without a doubt
Yes
Yes – definitely
You may rely on it
Reply hazy, try again
Ask again later
Better not tell you now
Cannot predict now
Concentrate and ask again
Don't count on it
My reply is no
My sources say no
Outlook not so good
Very doubtful
10 of the possible answers are affirmative (), 5 are negative (), and 5 are non-committal (). Using the Coupon collector's problem in probability theory, it can be shown that it takes, on average, 72 questions of the Magic Eight Ball for all 20 of its answers to appear at least once. -wikipedia


It is a kind of entertainment fortune telling others may say..... But only God knows the answer..
What is certain God loves us sooooo much..... unconditional wihtout boundaries...

Only GOd knows....





Jeremiah 29:11 

11 For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Doctor's Advice!

Patients

Optimism is not inherently a superior way of viewing the world. Certainly doctors will say it might be better for one's physical health to be an optimist. But, morally speaking it may not be appropriate in certain circumstances.
Todd Solondz


But I enjoyed getting sick, I didn't mind it at all. So in that short amount of time, I did actually go from 121 right back up to 180, which is way too fast obviously. And that resulted in some doctors visits to get things sorted out.
Christian Bale


In this case they're doctors. But having passion for your work and to take risks in order to better human kind. That's a pretty big theme. It's pretty inspiring.
Mary Stuart Masterson


I'm like a baby when I get sick. I don't get sick often I am taking Alkaline base vitamin C...

Typhoon Juan's Movement Almost Stationary — PAGASA

Manila Bulletin
October 19, 2010, 2:56pm

MANILA, Philippines (PNA) — The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) on Tuesday bared that typhoon Juan (Megi) as of 12:00 p.m. remains almost stationary at 190 kms. west northwest of Dagupan City (16.8°N, 118.6°E).
Aldczar D. Aurelio, PAGASA weather division junior forecaster, told a press briefing that "Juan" has 175 kph winds near the center and gustiness of up to 210 kph and is expected to move quasi-stationary at a speed of 7 kph for the next 12 hours going west northwest.
Aurelio said this is due to the presence of a high pressure area in the north. It is expected to be at 380 km. west northwest of Dagupan City by Wednesday morning and by Thursday morning it would be outside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) at 560 km. west northwest of Dagupan City.
Roberto S. Sawi, OIC of the Weather Division, explained that although the typhoon moves almost stationary, there is no possibility that it would turn around, although it would go down proceeding towards Vietnam carrying its gained strength.
Sawi further clarified that the installing of this weather disturbance is controlled by another weather system like the high pressure area.
Meanwhile, rains will continue to pour throughout Luzon especially in the western parts of Northern and Central Luzon.
Signal No. 2 remains hoisted over Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, Pangasinan and Zambales, while signal No. 1 is hoisted over Apayao, Abra, Kalinga, Mt. Province, Ifugao, Benguet, Nueva Vizacaya, Nueva Ecija, Pampanga, Bulacan, Bataan and Cavite, including Lubang Island and Metro Manila.
As regards the dams being monitored by PAGASA, Hydro-Meteorology Division hydrologist Socrates F. Paat said only two, the Magat and Binga Dams, gained rainwater as both increased their water level by five meters, although still below the critical level. Both dams released water minimally.


Jollibee acquires Mang Inasal for P3 billion
By Zinnia B. Dela Peña (The Philippine Star) Updated October 19, 2010 12:00 AM

MANILA, Philippines - Jollibee Foods Corp. (JFC), the country’s largest fastfood chain, has taken over control of Mang Inasal, a highly successful Visayas-based reataurant chain specializing in grilled chicken, in a deal worth P3 billion.
In its disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange yesterday, JFC said it has submitted an unsolicited offer to acquire 70 percent of Mang Inasal Philippines Inc. (MIPI), which was unconditionally and irrevocably accepted by its parent company Injap Investments Inc.
The move is the latest in JFC’s continued growth trajectory through expansion and acquisitions, the most recent of which involved franchises based in China, Taiwan and South Korea.
Mang Inasal, a homegrown business, started as a single proprietorship in December 2003 by its founder Edgar “Injap” Sia II in Iloilo City, the first barbeque fastfood chain anchored by its flagship chicken inasal product.
MIPI, which has grown its branches to 303 stores nationwide, is in a positive net cash position, racking up total revenues of P2.6 billion and systemwide sales of P3.8 billion
JFC said it expects to finalize the deal within 30 days, subject to the completion of due diligence by Pricewaterhouse-Coopers-Isla Lipana & Co. and law firm Romulo Mabanta Buenaventura Sayoc and De los Angeles.
Sia will remain as a significant minority shareholder in MIPI with a remaining 30-percent stake.
As part of the transaction, JFC has made an initial P200-million payment to MIPI. About 90 percent of the purchase price (less the initial payment) will be paid on closing, with the remaining 10 percent settled over a period of three years from closing.
JFC said the purchase of Mang Inasal would add approximately five percent to its total worldwide systemwide annual sales, five percent to revenues and seven percent to net operating income.
Mang Inasal’s chain will also increase JFC’s store network in the Philippines by 19 percent and on a worldwide basis by 16 percent. Of the total Mang Inasal branches, 24 are company-owned while 279 are franchised.
The Jollibee Group already operates the most extensive fastfood network in the Philippines with a total of 1,578 stores: Jollibee (703), Chowking (404), Greenwich (218), Red Ribbon (215), Delifrance (23) and Manong Pepe’s (15).
On a global scale, JFC also has Jollibee, Red Ribbon and Chowking stores, along with Yonghe King and Hong Zhunag Yuan in the People’s Republic of China.

The group, which is building on strong growth by adding Mang Inasal to its growing plate, said it has sufficient financial resources to pay for the acquisition in cash generated from its operations.
“JFC will build shareholder value by growing the sales of Mang Inasal’s existing stores through the application of JFC’s knowledge of consumers and its available recipes and products, continued expansion of Mang Inasal’s store network, cost improvement on its raw materials and greater operational efficiency by applying JFC’s technology and scale,” the fastfood giant said.
JFC said it intends to keep MIPI’s current personnel, subject to their meeting the JFC Group’s organizational standards.
Industry analysts said the transaction was a wise move for Jollibee as it has successfully avoided growing cut-throat competition with Mang Inasal, the fastest-growing fastfood chain in the country which was earlier touted as the “new Jollibee” when it made plans to offer its shares to the public early this year.
“For the past few years, Mang Inasal has been giving Jollibee a run for its money. This move is definitely a wise one for a company always on the lookout for opportunities to grow further.   As the saying goes, if you can’t beat them, join them,” one analyst said.
JFC is eyeing a double-digit growth in sales and profit for the year with the opening of a total 200 new stores – 100 each both locally and overseas - to bring its total store network to 2,000 by yearend.
In the first half this year, the group posted flat earnings at P743 million compared with P746 million the previous level, largely due to foreign exchange losses.
Systemwide sales, which measures all sales to consumers both from company-owned and franchised stores, rose 10.6 percent to P17.57 billion, driven by a 5.7 percent hike in store network and a five percent rise in sales of stores that were at least one year old.

What Faith Can Do!

I survived the angst of Dengue!

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (H-Fever)

Source of Infection:

Immediate source is a vector mosquito - Aedes Aegypti

Description:

An acute febrile infection of sudden onset with clinical manifestation of 3 stages

First 4 days - Febrile or invasive stage starts abruptly as high fever, abdominal pain, muscle pain and heartache; later flushing which may be accompanied by vomiting, conjunctival infection and epistaxis.

4th-7th: Toxic or hemorrhagic stage

7th-10th convalescent or recovery stage.

Incubation period 6 days to one week

I thank God for I have survived dengue.... The sickness was one of the worst that ever happened to me..... It weakens your body until finally you just don't wan't to eat. I'd go into being a baby everytime I get sick. I am glad mama patiently monitored my water intake, paracetamol, and food supplement.   She cared for me as always....:)

My platelet dropped into 115 below normal 150-450 x 10/L WBC 2.8 below normal 4.5-11

Immediately mama told me to drink a lot of water, gatorade, fruit juices and eat kamote tops. Fern-C also helped a lot. I drink 10 tablets of the supplement per hour.

My platelet count gained 25 and now still regaining strength....

Prayers can move mountains and Faith is all it takes.....God moves in mysterious ways......:)


I thank God for everything, I thank Him for the strength... I thank God for friends for the prayers.... I thank God for my miracle......:)
