If you have a marketing or sales business, it is most likely that you already have a supplier to print your marketing materials. But there are times when you are too busy to call nor go to your supplier so you look for a supplier online. I found a cheap brochure printing that you can avail online. It looks like they've been in the industry for years now providing good quality flyers and brochure printing. I like the idea of not going through traffic just to be able to print your advertising materials. All you have to do is signup in their website and order according to your requirements.
How convenient is that? For busy people like me who doesn't want to prioritize the printing of materials, this is definitely the way to go. Love, love this!
Today is a beautiful day to enjoy a relaxing music like this...
Perfect song, right!? Love, love it! Sweet Disposition by The Temper Trap. Have a nice Sunday, everyone! (*wink*)
We loooove milk teas and guess what, we discovered a new one near the neighborhood.
InfiniTea. You also get to choose what sugar level you would like.
And it's cheaper too! I guess we are adding this to our favorite milk teas! ♥
I came across this nice article in Facebook and I thought it would nice to go back to this article when I'm of old age already.
Read on and be inspired...
Because none of us have many years to live, and we can't take along anything when we go, so we don't have to be too thrifty... Spend the money that should be spent, enjoy what should be enjoyed, donate what you are able to donate, but don't leave all to your children or grandchildren, for you don't want them to become parasites who are waiting for the day you will die!!
Don't worry about what will happen after we are gone, because when we return to dust, we will feel nothing about praises or criticisms. The time to enjoy the worldly life and your hard earned wealth will be over!
Don't worry too much about your children, for children will have their own destiny and should find their own way. Don't be your children's slave. Care for them, love them, give them gifts but also enjoy your money while you can. Life should have more to it than working from the cradle to the grave!!
Don't expect too much from your children. Caring children, though caring, would be too busy with their jobs and commitments to render much help. Uncaring children may fight over your assets even when you are still alive, and wish for your early demise so they can inherit your properties and wealth. Your children take for granted that they are rightful heirs to your wealth; but that you have no claims to their money.
50-year old like you, don't trade in your health for wealth by working yourself to an early grave anymore... Because your money may not be able to buy your health...
When to stop making money, and how much is enough ( hundred thousands, million, ten million )?
Out of thousand hectares of good farm land, you can consume only three quarts (of rice) daily; out of a thousand mansions, you only need eight square meters of space to rest at night.
So, as long as you have enough food and enough money to spend, that is good enough. You should live happily. Every family has its own problems. Just do not compare with others for fame and social status and see whose children are doing better, etc., but challenge others for happiness, health, enjoyment, quality of life and longevity...
Don't worry about things that you can't change because it doesn't help and it may spoil your health. You have to create your own well-being and find your own place of happiness. As long as you are in good mood and good health, think about happy things, do happy things daily and have fun in doing, then you will pass your time happily every day.
One day passes without happiness, you will lose one day.
One day passes with happiness, and then you gain one day.
In good spirit, sickness will cure; in a happy spirit, sickness will cure faster; in high and happy spirits; sickness will never come.
With good mood, suitable amount of exercise, always in the sun, variety of foods, reasonable amount of vitamin and mineral intake, hopefully you will live another 20 or 30 years of healthy life of pleasure.
Above all, learn to cherish the goodness around... and FRIENDS... They all make you feel young and "wanted"... without them you are surely to feel lost!!
Life is so short not to be happy with our lives. Let's make the most out of it! (*wink*)

What I'd Like for Father's Day: An Open Letter to My Daughter
No ties, please. No cufflinks or gift certificates. No presents at all, really.
Kid, if you're struggling for some last-minute token for Father's Day, here's what I'd really like — this year and for years to come:
I want you to know there's no end game. The sports you play, the colleges you get into, the accolades you pile up, sure, yes, of course, I'll always cheer the loudest and you'll be like, "I don't know that guy," and I'll be all, "THAT'S MY GIRL!" and you may not speak to me until you're 30, but you should always know you're good enough no matter what.
I want you to find a good friend. Someone who will cut someone for you, or at the very least not talk shit behind your back.
Don't let some anonymous asshole with a keyboard determine your self worth. You are always more than a "like" count on whatever social media program happens to be popular at the time.
No, seriously, I mean it. You wouldn't go up to the crazy dude in town square or that homeless lady we see on the street and say, "Do you like my outfit?" or "Do you think I'm hot?" That's absurd, right? Who would do that? Millions of people online, every day. That's who. Your friends and future buds. It's something I never had to deal with growing up, this spotlight of petty strangers, and it scares the absolute shit out of me to think this is the culture you're growing up with. I can only hope to help guide you toward that internal strength that says: "That's just … creepy."
Find a shitty friend. Someone who will get you in trouble — just enough to learn a good lesson but not enough to require bail money or morning after pills.
When you get that urge to scream, "I hate you!" and slam the door, please for the love of god, kid, direct all that noise at me because if you aim that shit at your mother you won't believe how long that door will remain slammed. That will not stand.
Work hard.
Don't let it get to your head when people say, "You're so smart!" Because you have a lazy father who thought that was enough and learned only later that hard work and luck is how good things happen.
Practice gratitude even when you're not around us.
Everyone has a freak flag and the truly cool people of the universe don't wait until they're out of high school to fly it.
When you meet people for the first time and you're awkwardly chatting and don't really know what to say, don't ask: "So … what do you do?" Ask instead, "So … what do you like to do for fun?" You'll meet the absolute greatest people in the world this way.
On that note: Don't let work define you. It's a part of how you live your life. It's not you.
Find a fun hobby or sport or volunteer program — something that makes you smile when you think about it.
Listen to your mother. She knows what the fuck she's talking about.
Try not to swear as much as your father but come slip into my arms after a bad day if you ever want to hear anyone say, "Fuck those motherfuckers. You're the fucking best!"
Know this: I will never call a professor for you. You get a bad grade, that's your own damn fault. Work harder next time or clear away whatever obstacle is in your path.
Don't ever forget how to change a flat tire.
You already know what it feels like when friends try to knock you down for no apparent reason. Don't do that.
Come back to me. When I'm old and gray and can barely get out of the chair and the rest of the old codgers in the home won't let me watch Columbo with them, I want you to bring a good book and we'll sit and talk and read and laugh, and it will be the best present of all if you just grab my hand again and say, "Fuck those motherfuckers, pop. Let's go for ice cream."

This song is simply beautiful... Sharing it here on a beautiful Sunday.
I looove the lyrics of this song. It brought me to tears...
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules
Of someone else's game
Too late for second-guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes: and leap!
It's time to try
Defying gravity
I think I'll try
Defying gravity
And you can't pull me down!
I'm through accepting limits
'Cuz someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But till I try, I'll never know!
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
Well, if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost!
I'd sooner buy
Defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down.
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky!
As someone told me lately:
"Ev'ryone deserves the chance to fly!"
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I am
Defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No Wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring me down!
Before we finally leave the island after 5 days of enjoying it, we had lunch for the first time at I ♥ BBQ.
The place was packed so we were expecting really good food. It has to be, because the three of us love to eat meat!
The service was really good, our food was served after a few minutes. LOOK!
My sirloin steak was not only good but affordable too. I just love the combination of the steak with egg, onion rings, gravy and rice. Now, I'm getting hungry again just thinking about it.
So that ends our trip to Boracay. It was definitely fun. I was able to bond with my siblings for 5 days.
I was able to catch up on my reading and sleep too. Thank you Lord for the vacation. Now, it's time to go back to my family. I've missed them a lot!
