			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today is a rare day because if you look at it, those numbers would still look the same even if you invert it. The last time it happened was 08-31-1380. So this must be a very lucky year for all of us because we&#8217;ve been a witness of a day that can happen again when everyone that&#8217;s living right now are already part of history. Let&#8217;s all believe that we&#8217;re all gonna be lucky! Hey, it&#8217;s Law of Attraction dude!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nowadays, because of some unhealthy preservatives from the food we eat, our body is the one who always take the consequence. Most food that we eat now usually lacks in Vitamin A which is vital for a good eyesight. And since we also live in a modern world where everyone owns a computer, portable games, it causes further damage if without correct guidelines on usage. Sometimes, damage is irreversible but we can always prevent aggravation of a disease. Wearing an eyeglass is a primary aid for this and it is often the prescription by ophthalmologists! I was watching <a href="http://www.khou.com/video/index.html?nvid=373642">Zenni Optical on TV!!!</a> when I saw their ads for <a href="http://zennioptical.com">$ 8 Rx eyeglasses</a>. Because of recession, their advertisement  was on time. When I checked the eyeglasses myself, it really has a good quality. I bought one for myself and I&#8217;ve been using it for almost a year now. I&#8217;m enjoying wearing it because it also look fashionable. There are eyeglasses for kids too that are at lower cost without them being ashame of how they look! You can always buy expensive ones that can easily get broken and it&#8217;s definitely not practical because you&#8217;re just paying for the brand&#8217;s name. <a href="http://www.rantrave.com/Rave/High-Five-to-Zenni-Optical.aspx">High Five to Zenni Optical</a> for providing quality yet fashionable eyeglasses. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve bought:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>WHAT IS IR (Issue Resolution)?<br />
- customer service<br />
- ensure customer won&#8217;t call back<br />
- owning situation<br />
- integral part of our job</p>
<p>HOW TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE RESOLVING ISSUES:<br />
- flat out nice<br />
- polite<br />
- professional<br />
- do everything on a timely manner</p>
<p>UTILIZE 4 STEP PROCESS TO ENSURE IR:<br />
- commit to take action<br />
- find the question behind the question<br />
- educate the customer<br />
- show that the issue is resolved</p>
<p>bottom line: resolved issue = happy customers = good business = more job opportunities</p>
<p>1. COMMIT TO TAKE ACTION &#8211; assure customer, set tone, gain control of call, show willingness to help<br />
2. FIND THE QUESTION BEHIND THE QUESTION &#8211; go back to basics, probe, show patience and listen<br />
3. EDUCATE THE CUSTOMER &#8211; education is knowledge, knowledge is power. use what, why and how. provide all information to use.<br />
4. SHOW THAT THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED &#8211; showing customer that we resolved the issue allows them to have confidence not only with agents..but also to boost.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life is something you can&#8217;t afford to lose or something you won&#8217;t wish to be taken off to someone. It was end of week work when I received a text message from my sister using my mum&#8217;s phone number. She asked me if what time will I go home. I said around noon. Then she asked if I can pass by a grocery store or a market to buy electrolyte replacement fluids and some food for Dad because he got hospitalized. I got shocked after receiving the message. I really got totally shocked.  I didn&#8217;t know my Dad got hospitalized. And they won&#8217;t bother to tell me that if I was not about to go home. I felt sad. I&#8217;m working hard for them but they didn&#8217;t inform me about matter of life and death issues. It&#8217;s really depressing. But at some point, it ended to some realizations. I&#8217;m a crazy guy. Yes, it is true that I&#8217;m also a selfish person when it comes to time. I&#8217;m still young but I keep rushing on things making me workaholic and neglecting my other responsibilities. I thought I&#8217;m an almost perfect son but really I wasn&#8217;t. That incident made me realize what I was missing in life. Good thing it was never late yet to make it up for the lost time. My dad was okay now. I&#8217;ll take care of him. Promise. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you tired of trying all those weight loss pills and cosmetic surgeries yet not meeting the body you want? Have you experienced placing yourself in an extreme diet that resulted to higher appetite when nobody sees you eating? Don&#8217;t worry because health experts told that you don&#8217;t really need those to look good in those hot summer outfits. Does that sound great?</p>
<p>And are you ready for the seret?</p>
<p>The basics! Eat the healthy foods which actually has lower calorie content than what you burn in a day!</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s easier to make better food choices in summertime, when heavy, high-calorie dishes seem less appealing.,&#8221; says Prof. Luchie Callanta, Senior Lecturer of the University of the Philippines College of Home Economics. She also added that &#8220;the best food for weight loss in summer should be light, fibrous and refreshing.&#8221; I find that true because during summer people just really can&#8217;t get enough of fresh fruit shake juices as their refreshments.</p>
<p>Prof Callanta, resident nutritionist of Dona Elena Cuisinera Club,  a group of concerned mothers, health practitioners and food enthusiasts who are pushing for a healthy eating lifestyle for Filipinos explained that the single easiest way tro trim calories is to load up on nature&#8217;s bounty. This would mean that people should consume fruits and vegetables that are low in calories but definitely full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibers.</p>
<p>Professor Callanta also suggested that for people who really can&#8217;t give up meal on their daily meal, they have to make sure that they just limit the intake of it and that it&#8217;s been cooked healthy using an olive oil instead of the ordinary cooking oils available anywhere. It is believed by health experts that the first step to a healthy eating is replacing low quality oils with olive oil.</p>
<p>And you know, because of the &#8220;financial&#8221; crisis that the world is facing today this is the dilemma, this caused to be the dilemma of most Filipino to prefer those affordable but less quality oils even if they are aware of the impact of this to health. But thanks to Dona Elena Olive Oil that consumers find the brand to have the same throng of health benefits &#8211; not to mention its rich and flavorful taste &#8211; without going over the budget.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="size-medium wp-image-190  aligncenter" title="Dona Elena Cuisinera Club" src="http://meandtheuniverse.files.wordpress.com/2009/04/dsc00562.jpg?w=300&#038;h=225" alt="Dona Elena Cuisinera Club" width="300" height="225" /></p>
<p>Dona Elena olive oil makes health benefits like  protection against certain heart diseases, cancer and diabetes more accessible to average Filipino&#8217;s table.</p>
<p>Olive oil increases HDL (High Density Lipiproteing &#8211; meaning good cholesterol) that helps clear clogged arteries and is rich in monosaturated fat and antioxidants like chlorophyll, carotenoids, Vitamin E, flavonoids, squalene and polyphenols which contribute to help and protect against Cancer! In fact, olive oil tops the list of healthy oils recommended by the American Heart Asssociation for food preparation.</p>
<p>&#8220;So if YOU want to get that beautiful beach body, remember to exercise regularly and have a roper diet. After all, beauty isn&#8217;t skin deep &#8211; IT STARTS FROM WITHIN,&#8221; Ends Prof Callanta.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>1937 was the year when it was first sold and no one ever thought how wildly popular these sweet treats would be. For over 60 years since the first doughnut was sold, everyone now just can&#8217;t get enough of the HOTTEST and FRESHEST confectionary indulgence brought by Krispy Kreme</p>
<p>KRISPY KREME is not an ordinary doughnut or shall we say relatively the same with other doughnut makers. Personally, I can say that IT IS different and no doubt reason as well people keep on coming back. And did you know that several A-listers like Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman professed to be fans of this 72-year old secret pillowy pastry recipe ?! Yes, it&#8217;s true! It was also reported a favorite of the previous president of the United States of America President Clinton and beloved by the NBA Star Shaquille O&#8217;Neal! Aside from that, Krispy Kreme artifacts were also inducted into the Smithson  Institution&#8217;s National Museum of American History! It is truly amazing and phenomenal how far Krispy Kreme have reached now.</p>
<p>And to prove how phenomenal Krispy Kreme have become, the Philippines broke the Asia&#8217;s records for the Longest Line, Most Doughnuts Sold and the Earliest Customers to Fall in Line when they opened another store in Bonifacio High Street! Whew! That was awesome! And as soon as the conveyor belt whisked the light, MELTS-IN-YOUR MOUTH doughnut started, and the Hotlight flicked on, the shop swelled with eager customers!! Krispy Kreme calls it the &#8220;Doughnut Theatre&#8221; &#8211; where the sight and smell of one of their doughnut machines that can glaze a little over THREE THOUSANDDOUGHNUTS AN HOUR, was the reason behind the opening-day record breaking lines that caused pedestrian mazes.</p>
<p>From the success of the orginal glazed doughnuts of Krispy Kreme, here comes now the New Chocolate Karnival doughnuts that will make not just the chocoholics  addicted but it will make everyone crave for more!</p>
<p>Come and experience the sweet success of Krispy Kreme with their newly served chocolate-y doughnuts with different varieties to choose from! Chocolate Glazed pastries come in of course Chocolate Glazed traditional Cake, Double Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Glazed Vanilla Cake, Chocolate Glazed Vanilla Cruller Cake, Chocolate Glazed with Sprinkles, Chocolate Glazed Strawberry Filled, Chocolate Glazed Raspberry Filled and the Chocolate Glazed Kreme Filled!</p>
<p>So go on, glaze yourself with the melt-in-your mouth doughnuts offered by the one and only Real American Doughnut Company Inc. - <a href="http://krispykreme.com.ph" target="_blank">Krispy Kreme</a>!</p>
<p> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;">There are several reasons employees resign from work. Yeah, despite the difficulty of finding a new job and the competetion among those growing number of hopeful unemployed individuals, plus the financial crisis, we also have a lot of reasons we end to the decision of resigning from work. I&#8217;m afraid to say that I am one of those. I also belong to the millions of citizens who blame the government when unemployed. It is true. That is the reality I am facing. It is sad that I&#8217;m into this dilemma again if I am going to pursue my resignation. This time I know I have a different reason. It&#8217;s not anymore because of the environment, the people (my workmates), nor the pressure from work. It&#8217;s about focusing on the career I really want. I really want to work in the hospital either as a nurse or a docot in the future. But because of the crisis that healthcare providers are facing in my country, I have to set aside the want. Now is not the time for charity and volunteer works. It is not that hard to give some time of your life to those who are in need. After all, it&#8217;s all about giving service. But you know, it&#8217;s nice to share something when you know you really have something to share and you are sincere of you are doing. I&#8217;m not saying that I&#8217;m not sincere. It&#8217;s just that if I&#8217;ll do it today, I will just be doing that for the sake of experience.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">I won&#8217;t be resigning just to gain the experience I need. Not for now. Not for now. I really have to be practical this time. I might resign to relearn so I can have more time prepare for my upcoming exams.</p>
