Clothing Business

May 9th, 2012

admin

My father is thinking of putting up an ready-to-wear (RTW) garments business soon. His job before is somewhat related to this one. He already have had experiences in managing business like this that is why it would be easy for him to start a new business like this again this time.

We have decided that aside from putting some of the goods in the spare space we have at home, my father will also supply RTWs to stalls and boutiques in other areas and nearby towns. But since starting up a new business would never be easy, we need to read and gather more information to make the business successful and of course, a profitable one.

It pays to read and do research because it will allow us to learn more about the business and provide us details where we could find a wholesale clothing distributors to provide us quality but affordable clothing supplies. We can definitely profit more if we really plan and gather information properly for our planned business to work on. Hopefully, this will be realized before the year ends.

The e-book commute

May 4th, 2012

Not too long ago, I considered quitting my job. As much as I enjoy working there, I really couldn’t bear the commute. Being trapped in a stuffy carriage, listening to someone else’s telephone conversation and being held 100 meters before the station platform on a “signal failure” is not something I wanted to experience every day until I die or retire. I recently “upgraded” to the new iPad for work purposes and was in the process of uploading new music when I discovered something that has actually become my primary use for the tablet – the selection of eBooks for iPad.

My commute into work has been improved 100 fold. As much as it sounds cliché, a book really can transport you away from reality and into the world of the story. What’s funny is that I never considered reading a book on the train, as I never liked the idea of carrying a book around London. As silly as it sounds, I wouldn’t want to let go of the railing to turn the page. Now I don’t have that problem.

I have just got stuck into theAbraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter ebook. It’s a brilliant read, which basically tells the story of Abraham Lincoln’s life through his secret diaries being a vampire hunter. The fiction cleverly coincides with real dates and occurrences of his life and presidency.

I found myself getting more and more absorbed into the book, flicking each page with a simple brush across the screen. I even found myself using the iPad to check the dates and accuracy of the diaries (excluding the vampire parts) to the point where I was nearly missing each one of my stops.

I was chuffed to hear that a film adaptation of this story was to be released in December this year by none other than Director Tim Burton. Having seen the trailer, I am confident that this vampire book-to-film adaptation won’t cater solely to teenage girls like recent “mainstream” efforts. It looks to be exciting and visually gratifying.

It was, in fact, Tim Burton’s adaptation of a literary classic that made me download the Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland ebook. This time, I get to read the book before watching the film!

Interior Designing Ideas

April 28th, 2012

For home interior designs, I can’t trust my own style ideas. I can’t truly put into an organized stuff what I am thinking of. I don’t know how to connect one design to another. Perhaps the reason why arts and sciences were never my love before and until now. Hence, I need someone, an interior designer, to make all the messy thoughts I have in mind into something creative and a realistic one.

I have tried putting into a well-organized home decor some Horchow collections from the bedroom to the living room and more. But I ended up a headache. After I designed the bedroom, the masters bedroom, I couldn’t think of more designing ideas for me to move on to the other parts of the house.

One time, I shared my output to one of my artist friend. When she saw my work, she laughed at me. Well, I know that was one of the things I expected from her — her reaction on my work. But at least, after that funny moments we had with my work, she just volunteered to arrange all my interior designing ideas. Hopefully, crossing my fingers, she grasped all what I’ve shared — what I wanted to have and to come up with a very cozy house.

Sieving and Sieve Analysis

April 15th, 2012

It’s no way for me to become a civil engineer since then. I hate numbers, I hate the math. That is one reason why my only dream before was to become a teacher, a biology teacher. But ending now, I am in medical school taking medical degree after completing my bachelor’s degree in biology. Not my teaching desire though, but at least, my love of biology is not too far behind.

So you might be wondering why I mention civil engineering. This is because I’ve thought how critical they do sieve analysis and other sieving procedures in performing their jobs. These were just popped out in my mind lately after our family getaway in one of the beaches near the Pacific ocean where white sands are very conducive for an overnight stay plus the clear blue waters of the ocean.

Sieve analysis is a procedure in particle size gradation of soil, sands, rocks, clays and more. It is also called gradation test. This test is usually performed by civil engineers in preparation for the manufacturing of asphalts, concretes and other building materials.

Sieving is done in many forms such as horizontal, tapping, sonic and throw-action methods.
