There is nothing more dreadful than being stuck in a cubicle the entire day. Some think productivity increases BUT the opposite is true. Productivity takes a nose dive. Imagine staring at the computer monitor with hardly a break. Or scrutinizing that document or spreadsheet for 2 hours.
Physical exercise is important... even in the office. If you can take short breaks to "walk around", you may be surprised at how productive that is to the bottomline. "More often than not, we work through our breaks ...
Ok... this is a little weird for me. I'm not too sure if I can eat Wall-E, let alone Eve!
This Wall-E movie inspired Japanese bento is something to admire. I'm very sure it took a great amount of time (and love for the movie) to create this "art". I like how Eve floats by Wall-E... great work for bento maker extraordinaire AnnaTheRed.
I'm a little unsure if it'll ever come out into regular Japanese joints though. The thought of movie-inspired food is applaudable. Head on over to the artist's blog to sample a lot more of ...
Am a little surprised to know that the iPod line and the Asus EEE PC lines are coming out at Toys 'R Us. Is it all coming down to them being toys? Nah, it's just Asus and Apple giving a nod to higher sales. Most kids in the US have written "santa" a list. And 9 out of 10 would list down iPod or EEE PC.
These products are small enough for small hands to handle so why not place it where small people (children) shop. Genius.
The iPods and related accessories will be merchandised ...
Really amusing isn't it? This is an actual hotel room, "capsule sized", in Japan. For busy tourists who would just like a clean place to rest and sleep, have minimal baggage/suitcase, this may be the solution. Every capsule is made of fiber glass, dimensions are 2m x 1.25m x 1.
Facilities range in entertainment offerings (most include a television, an electronic console, and wireless internet connection). These capsules are stacked side by side and two units top to bottom, with steps providing access to the second level rooms. Luggage is stored in a locker, usually ...
A recent survey from a US-based recruiter found that nealy 9 out of 10 headhunters in Europe, Latin America and Asia say that being bilingual is critical for success in today's business environment. 66 percent of North American recruiters agreed that being bilingual will be increasingly important in the next ten years.
Moreso with the way "borderless" businesses are these days. Take the support industry for instance. Online, people buy products from say the USA, but receive support for the products thru call centers in South East Asia. I've heard of support agents in the Philippines who ...

It is not good for man to be overworked.
I had made the mistake of overworking myself for one whole week monthly then be depressed and exhausted for three weeks a month, in the past. Then just right now, after having my mid-work Quiet Time (after finishing my February BlogSearchEngine.com posts), I read from 1 Kings 19:7:
"Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you."
The context is 1 Kings 19:1-18, where Elijah fled from Jezebel’s* wrath. Elijah was given food twice. After he was given food the first time, he ...

The earthquake that hit Haiti is one of the worst in history, and we are all witnesses to the suffering that the people of this country are going through. Even though you and I may be worlds away from Haiti, there are many ways by which we can help. For sure, you have [...]
One of the biggest things I’m raving about here in the USA are those tech gas pumps. You know what I’d mean if I say their pretty secure, fast and easy to use. I remember in Asia when I’d pull into a gas station how I’d hand over my credit card to a gas attendant [...]
Did you know that sales figures show (consistently) that during a bad economic period, more cosmetic products are sold than usual? These figures also show that after a tragedy occurs in an area, sales also increase.
What can we gather from this information? Just as Leonard Lauder said, tough times equate to a higher [...]
The whole Duggar family is no stranger to the limelight. They have been featured on TV, magazines, newspapers and every member of the family is used to the coverage. Last year, Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar announced that they were expecting their 19th child. Naturally, they were once again exposed to publicity.
On [...]

We’re right smack in the middle of the Winter Olympics. Have your kids gotten into the spirit of it all yet? It saddens me that today, some kids would rather play sports via the PlayStation (or any other gaming console) than actually go outdoors and kick some butt. With the Winter Olympics [...]
Every house has a first aid kit. That is basic knowledge. But do you have an emergency kit that will help keep you alive just in case you experience a natural disaster? At this point, many families in the Philippines are creating their own disaster emergency kits, if they haven’t got one [...]
