Heart Goes Out to Tornado Victims

It is so sad to note that there were many affected by the recent tornadoes that touched down in midwest and down south. I hope and pray that those who are affected can still find refuge and goodness in God's grace. I am pretty sure help and prayers are coming their way and everybody can get back on their feet again.

I can't really imagine the devastation as it was shown on television. I saw metal buildings, houses, vehicles, school buildings, and other business establishments that are wiped out because of the tornado. I can't imagine myself going through it. I know with all the concerted effort of the government, private entities, and other individuals that are generous to help, they can all get back up. We can only pray that this will not happen again.

366 Blog Photo Challenge #54 [Ipod Replacement]

Entry #54 for 366 Blog Photo Challenge

Last week the Ipod touch that I bought for hubby back in 2010 started to act up until last Thursday night when he tried putting it on the docking station the battery died and won't charge at all. On Friday night he called the Apple customer support and the good thing was that the warranty is still good until June this year. He was told to just bring in to an Apple store and we can have a swap if it cannot be fixed at all. The appointment was yesterday at 1pm. It didn't get us long to be entertained. We waited for a total of 15 minutes and we were swapped with a new one. It is another good service from one reputable company. I am also glad that Apple Care is so fast with its service. Kudos to them! We are another one happy customer.

Dieting Not Working

Since hubby came back from his month-long training out of town, we've been eating out a lot and also cooking at home. So all I can say is that dieting is not working for me now. I tried of having to limit or do a portion control but if great food is in front of you, my discipline seem to vanish and trying to convince myself to work out later. I know this is not a good idea, but I can't really resist.

When we were out yesterday, we ate in a Filipino restaurant. The television in that restaurant was turned on to an exercise channel. How ironic was it, eh? And when we got home, I saw some infomercial about diet pills and apidextra online. I think those are the signs for me to really be serious in making myself healthy. I just smile at the thoughts of these signs and I guess I need not ignore it. It is for my own good anyways.

T-Shirt Branding

Branding is very important if you have a business. I have seen news about companies starting business on printing t-shirts with different saying in it. I think this is very popular now that this apparel are even used as souvenirs in any resorts, tourist spots, and places. But if you don't have a good brand or distinct and unique idea about it, it will be flat and not a good business. I saw this diamond supply co logo of t-shirts and other accessories, and I thought it is about selling diamonds but actually just a brand of different fashion apparel. It is a nice idea and in fairness they have nice products. It can be a good gifts for my balikbayan box as well.
