Coffee Coffee Coffee…

Just wondering how would you like your coffee to be? Do you like your coffee to look nice just like the above picture? Or do you like your coffee to smell good? Or do you like your coffee to taste good? Maybe perhaps you like your coffee to look good, taste good and smell good all together. I think different people have their own way of having their coffee. As for me I like my coffee to smell good and taste good, but not necessary have to be good looking. In fact I think the combination of smell good, look good and taste good does make the coffee enjoyable. Take for an example, you’re walking on the street and looking for a coffee shop to have your favorite cup of coffee. First thing that attracts you definitely the smell of coffee. You will then track down where this coffee smell comes from and locate the coffee shop. Then you’ll order a cup of coffee after browse through the list of menu. If you’re lucky the owner of the coffee shop might draw a leaf or a rabbit on top of your coffee. After checking out the color and the drawings above the coffee finally you’ll take a slip. The taste of a hot cup of coffee in a cold early morning definitely wakes you up completely. Now that’s the way to enjoy a nice cup of coffee.

Holiday Gifts for this New Year Season

Christmas and New year, it’s the holiday and gifts seasons all around the world. Economic around the world is not doing so well but still celebration must go on. We don’t have to look at the results to celebrate. It’s not a necessary reason but we must celebrate the effort that we put in throughout the year. Dinner, gifts and party is the way to celebrate. As for the gifts we don’t have to get expensive stuff but simple, useful and affordable will do. Personalized holiday gifts can be considered simple and useful stuff for many people. Things like pen and pen drive are couple of things that needed always. These are couple of things that we normally use doing our daily job. In addition many people carry along pen and pen drives in their daily work. Perfect as gifts of encouraging. A gift from someone special that states “Thank You” or “Happy New Year” sure is heartwarming.
During this period of time, a useful gift is better than gifts that put on shelves. Even a gift of toilet paper is better than a photo frame. A useful gift is what most people hopping to get. Giving out gifts is good for encouraging and creating smiling faces. It doesn’t matter what gifts that is giving out. The important thing is that the gifts serve as an encouraging and support to continue work hard in the coming year.

FedEx and Espresso

Honestly I really don't understand this commercial at all. What does FedEx got to do with Espresso? One thing for sure about this commercial is that the quality is good.

Smell the coffee

What’s the best part of having your favorite coffee? Is it the smell, the taste or the kick after drinking it? Personally I like the taste of the coffee after having a couple of slip. If you’re into the smell of the coffee right after the hot water hit the coffee powder, then you might be interested in this product. Well, that is if you love only the smell of coffee. It is call the coffee candle. That’s right, light it up and you’ll get the coffee smell all over the room. For those that love to drink more then 1 cup of coffee each day, this might be the thing to help control the consumption of coffee. Instead of drinking lots of coffee the whole day, why not just light a coffee candle continuously. Beside if you try to quit drinking coffee, here’s a good way to do it. Light the coffee candle nonstop for few months in your house day and night. After having the same coffee smell for few months I’m sure either you never going to smell another cup of coffee or you won’t be turn on by the smell of coffee.

As usual this is one of the good stuff that I found during my surfing hour – Windows 100 keywords shortcuts. I found this info from elakiri forum. After going through the 100 keywords shortcuts, I realize that I only knew 2 shortcuts. That is CTRL+C (copy) and CTRL+V (paste). That’s the 2 shortcuts that I use almost every day. Does it necessary to learn up as many shortcuts? Seriously, if we depend on Windows or a PC to do our work daily then the answer is yes. It’s between knowing the way to do it and knowing the quicker way to do it. When we start out learning Windows, we start from the basic. After we understand how it works and able to operate it normally, we need to speed up the process. It’s about doing things effectively and efficiently. Getting things done correctly is just not enough nowadays. We have to do it fast too. Especially in the cyber internet world, speed is everything.

A house is not a Home

“A house is not a home” I forgot where I got this but this words has been in my mind for a long time. Having a house to stay is not the same as having a home. A house is just a place for us to take shelter and a place to sleep. You can have a big house with lots of rooms or even a mention, but still it might not be a home. When you feel that there is no difference when staying in hotel compare to staying at your own house, then that might not be a home. What makes a house a home? In my opinion people are the ones that make a house a home. Specifically a home doesn’t have to be a house. It can be a workplace, labs, office or any place that you spend most of your time. When there is a place that you need to return as there are somebody waiting for you or there are some faces that you need to see, basically you can call that home. Some people make their work place as their home because they spend most of their time there. Some office or company even provides all the daily necessary like gym, shower, bed and kitchen. The house is just a place for them to sleep and to put their stuff. The only place that they are not alone is during working hour. It’s a bit sad but that’s what actually happens when people are too much into work. The time that you spend with your colleague is more than anybody else. Sometimes the feeling of home is much more in a corner of an office then in a house, especially in a big city. How many of you celebrate festival seasons at home? Christmas is close. Where will you celebrate Christmas this year, especially those of you that are working in big cities? I suppose a Christmas party at a club, a pub, restaurant or maybe in the office where you work. It doesn’t matter as long as you’re happy and feeling like a home.

Online Diagramming Software Gliffy

Gliffy is an online diagramming software that I found when surfing.Gliffy enable users to create flowcharts, diagrams, floor plans, technical drawings and more. There are some examples that are done using Gliffy that you can check it out in the site. Gliffy is free to use under basic features but there are limitation. If you like it after trying, you may upgrade it to Gliffy premium for full package. The price is reasonable as it is only $5 per month for individual usage. The thing that I like about this online platform program is that you can use it anywhere in the world as long as you can find a computer with internet feature. That means you don't even have to carry your laptop. It's very convenient. One good idea that you can make full use of this online platform is that you can create a sample work and store it online. You can show the work that you have done during job interview. I'm sure this will add points to your performance and helps you get the job.At this stage I think you still can't do much with online platform but things will become better as technology improves.
