Well… are you sick of your jobs? Don’t know what to do after you graduated? Still at a cross road deciding which career direction to choose? Why not take up something called “Vocation Vacation”?
Vocation Vacations’ founder Brian Kurth realized that many people out there are doing things that they don’t enjoy so he came up with the idea of making it possible for others to test the waters without having to quit their jobs. Customers use the ‘Dream Job Finder’ to pick a job they did like to try out. They’re matched with a mentor in the field, depending on their location and schedule. ‘They can choose to become apprentices to expert in a variety of industries such as fashion, construction, photographers, etc.
Whether the plan is to jump-start a new career, pursue your passions or just enjoy a new adventure, the point is to let participants experience the reality of their dream job. You might just end up in a place where you always dreamed off. For me is working in a cancun hotel as a life guard.
When talk about houses, most of us are familiar with homes being built or constructed. Have you heard of manufactured home or prefabricated home?
Introducing “The Quik House”. It is a prefabricated kit house designed by Adam Kalkin from recycled shipping containers. A typical Quik House has three bedrooms and two and one-half baths in its 2,000 square foot plan. Imagine an exterior of the house that can be constructed within a day, wouldn’t that be ideal when you need to press for time. The shell assembles within one day at your site, you will have a fully enclosed building. From start to finish, it should take no longer than three months to complete your house. This is another great way to ensure that containers are not gone to wasteland.
One of the main causes of obesity in my opinion is the accessibility to a variety of unhealthy and fattening food. Healthy snack can be some difficult to find in places. Even vending machine are stuffed with junk food and carbonated drinks with high level of sugar content. No wonder people put on weight and guess what, dietitian and drug companies that claims to offer the best diet pills makes tons of money to get people in shape. Although these methods can help reduce weight, they are symptomatic relief and not fundamental solutions. The only way to get in good shape is to control the input, which is the amount and type of food.
Lo Fresco, a company that responded to the call for healthier food by supplying vending machines filled with organic produce. Their emphasis is on solid nutritional value such as nuts, prepared fruit, ready meals and Spanish specialty, gazpacho soup.
I wish more companies can go into this direct especially those who are already in the organic food industry.

Dutch hospitality group La Bergère came up with a very interesting idea. To furnish up their hotel dubbed Hotel X, they are going to decorate it using furniture and knick-knacks purchased from ordinary people. Hotel X is calling on people to rummage through their attics, spare rooms and garages, and offer their unused objects for sale. People can send in the pictures of their items they’d like to sell along with a their asking price.
This is indeed a very clever way to not only find great decorating pieces but also to garner interest in the hotel. So if you have any old unwanted furniture, why not start clearing up your store room. You can sell away unwanted discount classroom furniture or any thing that you may not have any use anymore.
For many pregnant mothers out there, there are few things thing that are unavoidable such as morning sickness and weight gaining. When you talk about morning sickness, it only means there is a constant demand for vomit bags. Unfortunately, most vomit bags comes in boring design.

Old LCD tvs are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Just like plasma tv, which used to be a hot item is actually slowly phasing out due to high energy consumption. In Europe, plasma tv is actually banned forcing prices to plummet in remaining countries.
n a recent IFA show, Samsung used 40″ LCD TV with high powered LED Backlight technology. The new technology has already received the prestigious “Innovation Award” from the EISA (European Image and Sound Association) for its superb features.
With LED light source, colour reproduction is far richer. LED light source also helps to increase the panel life two fold compared to previous CCFL panels. This light source is also environmentally friendly because it uses no Mercury.
One thing we don’t see at all here in the South East Asia region is motor homes. But in the United States, due to large land coverage and long distances between cities, it makes sense to have motor homes where you can pull over at strategic spots for a night rest without needing to pay for hotel services.
However, one minor set back is that motor homes are rather bulky making travel between short distances a little nuisance. So, its no wonder why Christian Susana of Germany came up with this concept of a motor home with a detachable front car for tooling around on day trips making it also easier for motorhome towing.
Colim, which stands for Colors of Life in Motion has a detachable cockpit that has a top speed of 90 mph and the entire shebang can sleep four. It’s apparently more fuel-efficient than a traditional motor home, too. Currently, Colim is still is not manufactured yet.
