Mochiko Mochi: Expensive yet Special

Mochiko Mochi: Expensive yet Special
My dear friend and I were strolling the mall one pay day afternoon. We were in search of a nice pair of comfy slippers to alleviate the pain of our aching feet when we stumbled upon this elegant kiosk selling mochi. I've seen a lot of this black-colored kiosk in major malls here in Manila and I can't decipher even up to now why this creative Japanese dessert or brand has been earning a lot of rave given its suggested retail price. I've sampled other mochi brands before but this girl friend of mine insisted on buying for the sake of whatever. Japanese desserts keep on mushrooming - there are brands like Mochi Creme, Mochi Sweets, Dezato Mochi and Koori but to tell you honestly this is my very first time to blog about my mochi experience. And Mochiko is the famous one that has a great recall for me, perhaps because it is known to be a pioneer here in the Philippines.

Learning Online BETTER


I have always believed that learning is a continuous process. Each day we acquire new knowledge, skills, value and behaviors that reflect how we live our life. Hence, we learn and unlearn some things everyday and these things could make our life BETTER than ever.  Thanks to the influx of technology and the advent of internet because whether we agree or disagree their presence sustainably make our learning a whole lot easier, faster and enjoyable. Students greatly appreciate the existence of computers and so do the teachers.

Learning Online BETTER

It doesn't always mean that you have to be confined within the four walls of a room in order to gain new ideas. Encouragement and inspiration are two of the best things that a teacher could do for their students. Something that could shape the world of the self-learners. Say for example, consider learning as something beyond memorization and homework. There's a lot of creative and fun-filled activities that belong to this category of shaping the self-learner. A lot of people kill their time reading, playing and surfing the internet for more important facts and information and for those who simply has an interest in education or are currently in the field of education, there is a website which is aimed at providing information and material for educators who want to further their learning online in order to become better at what they do.  Imagine a digital learning environment!

Go GREEN: Use Solar as Renewable Energy for Power Savings



Green Heat roof-mounted solar panels for houses in Masbate.
How do we minimize carbon footprint? This issue is what beset us nowadays and for your information there are now myriad of ways on how to do that and in the long run would generally save us money. If you are familiar with the REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE campaign which has been an effort of our government for many decades, then it is but proper to acknowledge that you are aware of what's happening in our environment. It is about time to exert much simple efforts to recycle and use earth-friendly materials and efficiently consume energy whenever and wherever we may be.  Moreover, there is also increased awareness and push to go green from the efforts of corporations, organizations, and the media.

To efficiently and effectively achieve those objectives here's the the smartest way to do:  harness the use of solar power technology, or photovoltaic panels also called PVs.  Once it is installed, the system collects energy from the sun to generate electricity, which can then be used to power a portion of a home or office’s electrical needs. We've been hearing a lot about this thing but how does it really work?
