World Teachers Day

Today, we commemorate the world's teachers day..a UN recognized day giving tribute to all Teachers.  This is one way of saying "thank you", appreciating them for the essential role they play in giving quality education at all levels.

Definitely there are different activities planned for today's event which everyone can expect at every school worldwide.

Some High School students walked in our shop today and literally ask on any  gift giving ideas as a token of appreciation to their beloved teachers.  I came up with  suggestions which some of them availed and pay at very reasonable rates.

*  write a poem and print on a special scented paper, roll or fold it and put nice lace and ribbons.
*  create a collage or pictures using your favorite site like pizap, photobucket, photoshop or coreldraw and mount on a photo frame (8R or 8 x 10) size is preferable.
* Using a nice fan (folded or native created), print the event logo and paste it on.  You can add some lace or glitters depending on any available materials.
*  Create nice beads (pearl necklace and earrings would be the best), and wrap it on a special card box
* With nice small cologne spray bottle, you can put in your favorite scent, and print the logo on it.
*  Create today's event logo or you can use the image on top to create a lei. Accentuate it with scrap booking laces and flowers to make it more attractive.
* wrap it up with bunch of red roses, chocolates  with a simple note.

There a lot ideas that you can explore.  Be creative to win your teachers heart today....

North Cotabato Math Olympics Finally Set

The first and one of its kind Math Olympics in North Cotabato Province was finally launched and was successfully participated in by more or less 45 districts today and tomorrow.  There were various activities planned for two days which all math lovers await with full excitement hosted for the first time by Pres. Roxas Municipality.

There are individual and team quiz events that encourage team efforts.  Certificates and awards were given to the winners.  Most of the participants win or lose, all go home with a smile on their faces. 

Karith was just so lucky to represent her class in Grade II together with other two kids in a Team quiz.  In easy rounds, they were able to answer four out of five questions.  They don't have much luck in the average round since they manage to get only  two correct answers.  Unfortunately in difficult round, they got only one correct answer pushing them on the 12th place.  Anyway, there's more room for practice Karith and your team.. Better luck next time!  Truly it's a team effort, thanks to your team mate who volunteered to help you get more air (using hand fan - pamaypay). 

 

 To all number and math munchers.. see ya next year!

Desktop Publishing Business Is A Sure Hit

Small business idea such as Desktop Publishing is a cutting edge biz for real. Starting from a small client base in the neighborhood plus referrals, gave my homebiz a starting point.  From a neighbor's request for a simple birthday giveaway tags, to doing complex designs for Tshirt printing and logos, anything is fun with just the click of a mouse...

I love what I do with the latest technology.   Way back when we were still residing in Davao, my clients used to be kiosk or shop owners inside the mall while I was doing my window shopping.  Jobs ranges from simple receipts layout to complex personalized calling cards.

Doing home jobs might as well surprised one because this requires  a bit of research.  Knowing exactly what your customer wants is paramount to having top quality output.  Aside from checking where to get cheap materials for your job order, basic info such as quantity, size, how many color to use, what type of materials,etc. are very crucial information in determining how much to charge for each job.

Just recently we were able to close deal with ND Arakan for their PVC School I.Ds.  Guess what?  It surprised me because the cost of the new PVC printer costs something like P80,000.. It pays really to be resourceful since we were able to find "counterpart idea" on how to print PVC id's using the ordinary deskjet printers that we have at home.  We don't even need to buy the PVC printer on that amount and thanks to G-Match people who shared their trade secrets.  They showed us how to equally make them perfectly with the use of PVC and coated film sheets.  This is our first output using PVC ID Card Making Kit - Inkjet Printer  and precisely, I bet, this is what our customers want with their PVC id's...

The pvc ID printed using an inkjet printer (also comes with free  ID Card Holder)

We made the sling as well to maximize profit

With modern printing, there are a lot of  medium that you can try on, like printing on mugs, tees, etc to create a lasting impression.  If you have some more suggestions, you can email me or drop a comment to show some love.... nice Thursday everyone!
