Are Filipinos creative or what?! These photos taken during the recent graduation ceremony at Binuangan Central Elementary School in Binuangan, Misamis Oriental, Mindanao, Philippines truly show just how creative, practical and, quite frankly, tolerant we can be. Creative because, as you can see, they used umbrellas and covered seats instead of letting the graduates suffer under the searing heat of the sun. Apparently, this happened because the school didn't have a covered court (where graduation ceremonies in many public schools are usually held). Practical because they made do with cost-effective, available or easy-to-source materials. The potted plants along the "path" where the graduates, guests and school officials were supposed to walk on also added a nice little touch. ...

If you are a business owner, you have learned that it takes a lot of hard work, time, money, and effort to keep everything running smoothly. In fact, statistically, most businesses fail within the first five years because the owner is just not cut out for the job (nobody prepares you beforehand!) or they run out of money. I want to help you all avoid this and instead, I want to help you succeed at your businesses. Because of that, today, I want to chat with you about how to save as a business owner. You will always have costs, but you need to make sure you are saving, without cutting corners, whenever possible. Why? Because you are trying to keep as much money as possible within the business. Now, of course, this does not mean to skimp on paying your employees, or lower the quality of y...

When you go on a vacation, the weeks leading up to it can be absolutely nerve-racking! For one, you’re overly excited about the trip. Two, it seems like time just drags by and that magical day will never come. You experience this type of feeling when you’re traveling from state to state, but when you’re traveling to an entirely different country, the excitement is almost uncontrollable. There’s just something unexplainable about visiting a different country. It’s like they have the same type of thing that you would see anywhere else, but it’s so different. The Disneyland in Hong Kong is so different than the Disneyland in California… they’re so different but similar in so many ways as well. For example, It’s a Small World ride in Hong Kong is totally different than the one Paris, eve...

To determine the social group of a person, it is enough to look at their shoes. Often, shoes are the main style-forming element of the image and a bright red sign of taste and character. So, men who are interested in single women dating should pay special attention to this moment. The most sexual men adhere to strict and noble style, and their shoes are their main weapon (except for manners). So, what shoes you should choose to draw the attention of charming girls? Oxford Shoes When you wear Oxfords, you are a little closer to the image of James Bond. Initially, this shoe was only for students, but over time, Oxfords have turned into number one shoe for any solemn event: social events, weddings or business meetings.

A while back, I planned a trip with a group of friends and we were all so excited to travel, de-stress, and have fun together. Once we arrived at our destination, even though we were greeted by blue skies and perfect weather, everything seemed off. Somehow, in those seven days away, I couldn’t help but realize that we didn’t have nearly as much fun as we’d had sitting at our house doing nothing. On our way home, I remember saying: "Well, I guess you just can't plan for fun. Too bad!” My sense of being let down by my vacation is not unique: There’s research to show that people are happiest when they’re looking forward to a trip away—not when they’re actually vacationing, but I 100% think that this needs to change. I mean, we pay so much money to travel and we spend so much time planning ...
