Yes or no? Peanuts, chocolates, and some fatty foods will cause unsightly zits on your face.
Answer: No.
Yup, chocolate lovers, that’s something to be happy about! You might have heard your parents and some of your friends knowingly tell you about chocolates or fatty foods causing acne. This is actually not true based on the studies […]

Here are some photos of our lazy afternoon at the Petrin Hill. These shots were taken while I was resting on the ground. 

The weather was fine though partly cloudy. (Oops, I didn’t mean to sound like the weather newscaster.) It would be hot and sunny for a while so I had to take […]

I’m not really that environmentally-conscious as a consumer. But sometimes, I do tend to favor eco-friendly products than those that are not. I would be glad to see some environment-friendly products which provide information about the materials used (recycled paper, environmentally-safe chemicals, etc.). For instance, greeting cards, notebooks and other paper products made from recycled […]

I love weekends and this Sunday, we had another fun day in Prague. After the usual noon Mass at the famous Our Lady of Victorious church (home of the Infant Jesus of Prague), we had another yummy lunch at Sbarro this time. It was buffet style where you choose from their varied dishes and salads, […]

Compared to the traditional type of business ownership, the risks involved with franchising is easier to manage. For instance, a business system is already in place, such as using similar or exact process, ingredients, materials, building design for interior/exterior and many other factors that make up the brand and the products or services being offered. […]

Few years back, I learned from a business mentor about the importance of real estate assets and the advantages of investing in them. He stressed that going into real estate investments can be tricky yet rewarding once you learn how to manage the risks. Investing in real estate is one of my future financial plans […]

How do you choose your footwear? Is it based on fashion or comfort… or both?
For me, it should be both.
I don’t want walking around in cute stylish shoes with my feet aching from blisters, or feeling uncomfortable and tired after few minutes of hitting the streets. Thankfully, I bought with me a pair light rubber […]

With more than a year in the blogosphere, I realize that there are still many things to learn about blogging. For instance, one has to be familiar with the basics of html and how to go about the blogging platform whether it’s self-hosted Wordpress or free account. Another concern for bloggers is dealing with web […]

On my first day in Finland, while we were on the bus to Pori from the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, I immediately noticed the many Hesburger establishments along the way. “It’s yummy hamburger,” according to my 8-year old niece, who was my seatmate/guide that time.
As my stay in Finland progressed, I noticed that there were more Hesburger […]

My nephew used to be fond of using the word ‘professional’. When he saw himself doing something smart or cool, he would always be quick and proud to say, “I’m so professional, yah?” I think it’s human nature to take pride in ourselves when we have done something we’re confident of especially when it comes […]

While on our way to the Tyn Church at the Old Town in Prague, we passed by some souvenir shops on the narrow alleys. Of the many souvenir items on display, I find the Czech crystal and glassware truly eye-catching! Czech Republic is known for the ancient art of glass-making and it’s a must to […]

I’ve been dreaming about having my own mini-car and how it should look like – sleek and cute such as a Chevrolet Beat, Kia Picanto or Honda Jazz. I guess that’s what happens when browsing over some mini-car models over the web. Sigh.
When it comes to buying a new car, there are many auto financing […]

It was a sunny Sunday and after the noontime Mass at the Church of Our Lady Victorious where the Infant Jesus of Prague is enshrined, we were just so hungry. So off we went to the Novy Smichov mall, and after passing by some restaurants at the upper level, we settled for Lebanese fast food.

I […]

Lately I’ve been transferring a LOT of files from my hard disk to blank DVDs. Some of them are video files in AVI format from the digital camera which needs to be compressed to other file formats. I still haven’t tinkered with the video files though. There are so many audio/video converters out there and […]
