Restaurateur!

If a food blogger is really up to his or her dream of making it big, it doesn't end up with just one's love for food. At some point, they go to that stage of cooking their favorite food at home, discovering how each dish is concocted and what the secret ingredient to a hearty meal is. With this comes also the want to make food aesthetically pleasing, a good mix of color, a lovely sprinkle of garnish and a lovely arrangement. Thus, it follows that food photography is an inevitable course. There might be ideas of attending a culinary school or a photography class. Along the way, the foodie invests in professional cookware too. Finally, after spending too much time in the kitchen and restaurant hopping, the foodie wants to open up a foodshop with herself/himself as the Chef.

Setting up a restaurant involves a handful of tasks that are time-consuming, mentally draining and physically tiring. Aside from location, licenses, budget, staff hiring/training, one must also plan and think of the smaller yet crucial matters such as consumer target, water and electricity connection, interior design restaurant equipment and foodservice supplies.

Custom prints

When hubby and I started our graphic arts business at home, I saw to it that photography is one of the "others" that we will be doing. Good thing it did work out and in time we were doing small-time portrait photography in kindergartens. At first, I was clueless as to what is the best printing option for us. I find the print shops around us too expensive, not to mention: too slow, if not, the photos turn out darker than what I wanted. I was grateful for online custom prints from PsPrint, which saves me not just time, but money as well.
-
I also opted to print out some business cards, our own calendar and postcards too...those of my own photos. Being a hobbyist, I have all our photos from our vacation and from everyday clicks saved in a separate disk. With online prints, I could easily access my files and choose the photos I want printed. To start the list of advantages in having online prints: convenient way to choose photos to be printed. Design templates are readily available for your business cards or custom designing is also offered. Fast service and shipping discounts plus a lot more discounts every once in a while. There are other products that I can include with the photos as a package such as calendars, stickers, greeting cards, and more.

So if you are starting out a business and needs to have some printing job done or when you are a mom like me who takes lots of the kids' photos, remember PsPrint is the topshop for your needs. It's the best alternative for Kinkos! Hurry and avail of the 20-50% off discount on certain items.

Online meet ups

I was talking to a friend a while ago, she has been boyfriendless for a while now and she was so excited to finally met a guy she really likes. She was reluctant at first when I asked her where she met him but eventually he gave me a reply; in one of those hawaii chat rooms. Well I hope she'd have a happy ending over this one...like many others who have met online.

Kilns and more

Pottery is perhaps one of the oldest forms of art known to man. Whether cooking pots or designer jars or a simple art clay kiln, someone is bound to collect them sooner or later. Maybe you've heard about AMACO (American Art Clay Company), they provide pottery supplies educational kits, and craft programs for all interested. They have professional teachers, framers, potters, craft designers, and a neighborhood pottery studio where one can practice arts and crafts and eventually hone skills.

Amaco kilns have been known ever since its inception. In 1919, they made the first American modeling clay but didn't stop there. Through the years the company has provided patrons with all kinds of services realting to ceramic pottery kilns, lead free glazes and underglazes, ceramic, self-hardening and air dry clays, Brent Potter wheels and equipments, mold making and sculpture, glass products and even the first adaptable potter’s wheel for the physically challenged. With their motto "From a Colorful Past, Comes an Exciting Future," Amaco has proven that in 90 years, pottery and art never goes out of style.

Lansangan/Karatula (Street/ Signs)

Minsang naglalakad ako pauwi ay natanaw ko ang Karatula na ito ng iba't - ibang Siyudad at Lansangan. Shempre pa dalidali akong nagpiktyur, kahit na telepono lang ang dala.


Hindi ko ikinakaila ang paghanga ko sa kalinisan ng Siyudad ng Vienna. Ang pangalawang litrato ay kuha taong 2007 at tag-lagas at taglamig noon pero may nakikita ba kayong dahon sa lansangan? Wala...dahil ang mga iyon ay maya't maya winawalis. Mapapansin dito ang karatula na nagsasaad ng daanan para sa bisikleta at tao, nakasabit din ang basurahan para sa mga upos ng sigarilyo.

Ang ikatlong litrato naman ay may karatula ng mga lugar na pwedeng pasyalan sa Sentosa, Singapore. Shempre Ingles kaya di ka mawawala!

Bonjour, Mademoiselle! Sabi nila pinakaromantiko daw ang Paris sa lahat ng mga Siyudad....well, siguro nga pero hindi ito ang pinakamalinis sa paningin ko lol. Anu't ano pa man, nakatakda akong muling bumisita doon kung may pagkakataon...Pero malamang kahit may mga karatula ay mawawala pa din ako, mas mainam na matuto kahit kapirasong French para dito.

Pinakapaborito ko ang lansangan ng Venice, pero sa susunod na pagkakataon ko na lamang ito isasali hehe. Happy LP!
