Start School Strong, Start it Right! Scotch® and Post-it® Brands Share Tips to Help You Get that A!

Starting off your college life is an exciting milestone. There are many opportunities to for you to grasp, experiences to savor, and goals to attain once you enter college. With that being said, let’s focus on “goals to attain”. Once the homework and assignments start to pile up, don’t let that rain on your parade. Achieving number one may be a tough cookie to bite, but it is not impossible when you learn how to get there. Fortunately, you don’t have to go unequipped, because with the right tools and mind set, you can surely succeed and you’ll find that university is that much more enjoyable. Here are tips on how you can make studying fun and getting those A’s more achievable:

1. Give yourself a heads up!
At the start of every semester, expect to get a course guide. The course guide will give you a schedule of what to expect per class. A tip to help you be on your toes as often as possible is to have a visual on hand. Try printing out a calendar of topics from your course guide which you may stick on your study table. Stick it using Scotch® Magic™ Tape that comes in a cute Rabbit Dispenser! It won’t damage your table unlike other adhesives so changing calendars every month is as easy as 1-2-3! Remember: Being on track gives you a whole lot of edge!

2. Don’t forget to take your textbook to class and get familiar with it!
Taking notes during class is helpful in knowing what key points you need to remember and what the professor wants to emphasize. Often times, your professor will expound on topics that are not in your textbook. These are key points that that you need to catch. When he throws these points at you, catch them by jotting them down on Post-it® Original Notes. It even comes in variety of colors such as Canary Yellow, Lavander, Green, Pink, Blue, and Orange. You may organize the key points by topic and write them in similar colors so you can easily distinguish which explanation goes with each topic being discussed. Then, post your key idea right next to the topic being discussed in the text book, this way you will be reminded when you backtrack at home or review for quizzes.

3. You’ll see what you need to remember by flagging textbooks!
Highlighting keywords and definitions can be helpful when you’re reading through each section or chapter. However, when you have too many highlighter marks, it can defeat the purpose of highlighting. When you go through your textbook, rather than highlighting all the terms you see and things you need to review, mark them with Post-it® Flags. Marking the things that you want to review can help prioritize what really needs to be highlighted from smaller ideas that add to the big picture.

4. Do more to understand the notes in your notebook!
Now that you’ve gone to class and marked all the important terms, keeping your lecture notes clean and organized is the next step. Rewriting your notes into organized thoughts can help better organize the lectures into your head. When you’re able to take notes from the lecture and textbook and reword it neatly, you help yourself understand the material better.

When you’re done with all of your notes, keep them in order with Post-it® Page Markers. You can easily write on Page Markers and place it on the edge of your notebook to make finding sections quickly and easily.

There are many ways to study, but the most important thing for a freshie like you is to find the best technique and use the best tools to excel in class. You may start up with the tips above to help you out.

With a determined mindset, developed study habits, and a dedication to learn without limits, you will definitely burn the midnight oil throughout your college years without burning yourself out!

Make each day count and enjoy your new start! Scotch® Magic™ Tape, Post-it® Notes, Post-it® Flags, and Post-it® Page Markers are trademarks of 3M.

A Gan Tea launches its first store in the Phillipines

Tea houses sprout like a mushroom in the city.  It becomes a trend that you could see almost everyone with   their milk tea. Whenever my daughter arrives home from school, she would always drop by in a nearby tea house and would get her favorite flavor with tapioca pearl.  It can never be denied,  milk tea  is now a  trend in the Philippines.

Last Saturday,  a new store,  A GanTea opened at  Greenbelt 2 Park,  Makati.   The Volcanoes Rugby Team,  Azkals and  JAMICH  graced  the  opening of the new and first branch in the Philippines. Different group of media, tea enthusiasts and  celebrity guests  gathered to  witness  the opening in Greenbelt.

A-GANTEA was established in 2006 by Chairman Mr. Vincent Ho. First A-Gantea branch opened in Feng Chia night market in Taichung, Taiwan. It was brought to the Philippines by Qoola Phils Inc.

A-Gantea, with “A” meaning a happy disposition and “Gan” meaning sweet, is devoted in developing all kinds of specialty blended tea beverages to suit the taste of students, office workers and families. A-Gantea guarantees quality beverages by selecting tea leaves from an altitude of 1200m in Taiwan’s Ali Mountains and makes their drinks in accordance with the type and character of the tea leaves by controlling time, temperature and water quality precisely.

What makes A-Gantea products  stand out from other milk tea brands is their use of fresh fruit in their fruit teas and their special milk teas use premium imported milk with white chewy tapioca pearls and black pearls that are softer and sweeter that provide a different experience in the mouth. A-Gantea’s uniquely flavored products are sure to set a new tea drinking culture in the Philippines. A-Gantea milk tea has a balance combination of milk and tea flavor while original brew contains pure quality tea flavor. Its fruit tea is also as refreshing like other A-Gantea drinks. A-Gantea provides a different experience that sets them apart from other tea brands.



I  had  my first  A Gan Tea with Cocoa flavor and I couldn't wait for my  next flavorful tea  to taste.  It's just so  refreshing!

I took a photo of a queue pager that the staff  handed  me after placing my order.  It  serves as a  reminder that my order is ready  for pick up when it vibrates. What a cool  way for queue!

My first  refreshing tea with cocoa flavor! So rich!

After the press con and  grand opening at the store, we proceeded to the  Greenbelt 3, Activity Area  for  some lined up activities. The Volcanoes Rugby Team and  Azkals Angel Guirado, Chieffy Caligdong and  Aly   Borromeo gamely  participated  in  the A Gan Tea games.   The event was hosted by Grace Lee and Jamich.

 

 Blogger  Anton  of  PusangKalye.net  won  GCs  from A GanTea  by simply  tweeting  "My lifestyle with Agantea,  #aganteaph"  and  posting  on  Facebook account.

You Tube sensational Jamich performed  their dance hits.

Signifying the freshness and pureness of tea with their green and blue colors, A-Gantea also aims to  bring  the benefits of tea to it’s consumers.

Tea has the following benefits:

• Tea is rich in anti-oxidants and can help slow down the aging process.
• It helps in repairing and regenerating new cells in the body.
• Tea lowers the risk of heart disease and stroke and improves cholesterol levels.
• Tea also contains fluoride and tannins that fight cavities and reduce plaque.
• Tea helps the body’s immune defenses.
• Tea is also a good digestive aid after a meal.
• Tea protects against cancer and neurogical disorders.

Give Love on Mother’s Day!

Being a mother is one of the most challenging yet the most rewarding jobs in the world. As each of these precious women is unique, each one has her own way of showing her unconditional and tireless love to her kids. So we honor our moms during this particular time of the year by showing our love for them through the most special way that we could think of.


On Mother’s Day, we put them under the spotlight and make our moms feel the prettiest and most special. We give them sweet solutions like a trip to her favourite hangout spot, a day off from her usual household chores, a box of chocolates, a salon makeover or a bouquet of her favorite flowers. But have you ever thought about giving such a special woman in your life something that can last for more than a day or a week?

 Instead of going to the store and buying her a predictable gift,, why not sit down and take time to write an old-fashioned note to express your gratitude for everything she has done for you? Rather than a store-bought present, let your heartfelt love notes fill her heart as you take time to thank the woman who has gotten you out of bed and made you breakfast every morning, picked you up and patched your wounds, kept a vigil by your bedside whenever you were sick and stood by you all these years.


 In case you’re stuck with writer’s block, here are some ideas to get you started:  

1. Remind her she is loved. Just as she has given you unconditional and tireless love, remind her that you feel the same way for her. Sometimes, telling someone we love them can feel awkward or too mushy, but words can flow much easier on paper and are just as meaningful.

2. Write thank you notes for all she’s done. Think back on every loving task mom has done for you – whether big or small. The more you can think of and the further back you go is a testament to her that you haven’t forgotten any of her good deeds and that you appreciate every one of them.

3. Remember that when you say “sorry”, you start healing. The great thing about moms is that they forgive easily and perfectly even when there are misunderstandings or when you have not appreciated her as much. Even so, reading a heartfelt apology would go a long way to make both of you feel better.

4. Collect a Jar of Heartfelt Notes. Finally, when you’re done, collect all your love notes and place them in a jar by her bedside, so she can wake up to the best surprise.


Don’t be afraid to get creative in starting with this project. Use Post-it® Cube Notes that come in different sizes and varied colors to fill up your jar. You can also opt to use Post-it® Notes in assorted neon or pastel colors to write down each loving note. Decorate the jar as well with ribbons, acrylic paint or glitter glue. Even after Mother’s Day, you can continuously leave the jar and a pad of Post-it® Notes on the kitchen or anywhere accessible to the entire family and start collecting 365 days worth of love notes from everyone.

Post-it® is a trademark of 3M.

Buy Eyeglasses Online: Vision & Fashion the Frugal Way

A month ago, CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) published a piece of news about purchasing eyeglasses online; a month later, this news has already been commented on by thousands of people. With the rise of purchasing eyeglasses online, more and more eyeglass wearers have begun to focus their attention on it. However, with regard to buying eyewear online, some support it while others still have doubts about it. What has turned numerous eyeglass wearers from traditional brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores to online ones? Firmoo's slogan tells you everything: Vision and Fashion the Frugal Way.

Most eyeglasses wearers have purchased eyeglasses at traditional eyeglass stores. Nevertheless, due to the limited styles and unaffordable prices, consumers have had to regard eyeglasses as a medical tool used to correct vision instead of a fashion accessory. But now, with the emergence of online eyeglass shopping, we can get fashionable eyeglasses at reasonable prices. Among the many online eyeglass stores, Firmoo, which combines fashion and economy, is undoubtedly the most outstanding one.

As we all know, we usually have to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of glasses at brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores. Yet, you can get the same pair of glasses from online eyeglass stores at a fraction of the price. For this reason, buying glasses online is, so to speak, quite an economical way to get eyeglasses. Among the numerous online optical stores, Firmoo is the most economic one. Customers can usually get their beloved glasses at a price that is up to 90% lower than that in brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores. Furthermore, new customers can even get their first pair for FREE there. Some people may doubt the quality, safety, durability, etc. of eyeglasses purchased online, but there is no need to worry when purchasing from Firmoo. Firstly, all glasses provided by Firmoo are carefully manufactured by skilled workers and are strictly inspected by professional opticians before shipment, thus ensuring the quality and safety of glasses; secondly, Firmoo has developed a try-on tool for customers to try their beloved eyeglasses on so as to see how they look on them; thirdly, Firmoo has a customer service team that has always been committed to offering their valued customers the best service; lastly, all glasses available at Firmoo are provided by their affiliated factory, which is why they can offer eyeglasses at such a low price.

"We have dozens of affiliated eyeglasses factories which enable us to provide our customers with the most affordable eyeglasses around because there are no middlemen in between. Meanwhile, we have devoted ourselves to providing our valued customers with fashionable and aesthetic eyeglasses," said Patrick Li, Firmoo's CEO.

Compared with purchasing eyeglasses at brick-and-mortar eyeglass stores, purchasing eyeglasses online is not only more economical but also enables customers to select from more fashion elements. This is due to Firmoo meticulously picking several hundred classic styles from thousands of eyeglass models.

Firmoo CEO Patrick Li also added, "Our team has selected hundreds of classical and fashionable styles in order to save time for our customers when they are picking eyeglasses."

So what do online eyeglass stores bring to us? We believe the answer is fashion and frugality.

KIPLING's 25th Anniversary Celebration

Many people have fallen in love with Kipling and I can simply answer now why Kipling bags are well loved all over the world, it's because their bags are very stylish and gorgeous. I became an instant fan of Kipling when I attended their 25th anniversary celebration that showcased Kipling's biggest bag collection held at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium last March 30, 2012. Kipling is touted as the best women's casual brand in the world.


At the start of the event, a dance number with Tote bags was presented by a group of young people. Oh these bags are very colorful and functional too, you can either use this as a Tote Bag or a Hip Hop Backpack.

The executives behind the success of Kipling!

Kipling presented its Spring/Summer 2012 collection, which included bags from the Basic, Basic Travel, Sweet Me, My Valentine, Vintage, Gorilla Girlz, City, City Business, 25 Years, Back to School, and Working Life line. Each collection is perfectly designed to adapt to the lifestyles of today’s discerning women travelers who want no less than quality, functionality and style in their travel pieces.

A highlight of the event was a fashion show that underscored the new collection's brilliantly-colored Kipling Bags.

Celebrities and bag enthusiasts were spotted at the event.

The gorgeous Andi Manzano hosted the event.

Regarded as one of Belgium’s most iconic fashion pieces, Kipling was inspired by a number of renowned factors that give it its distinct edge. "With a monkey discovered in Asia, an innovative nylon treatment from Europe, a bold attitude inspired by America and the name of an indisputable British legend, Kipling is without a doubt one of Belgium's most successful fashion exports," says Isabel Van den Broeck, marketing and communication director worldwide for Kipling.

"From new stores in Asia to the beaches of Brazil, we continue to create lifestyle essentials to brighten women's every moment, from working days to bright nights and special gatherings to chance encounters. Design at Kipling has stayed hectic and eclectic - and we wouldn't have it any other way," adds Van den Broeck.

Kipling is available online at zalora.com.ph and at SM Mall of Asia, SM North EDSA The Block, SM Megamall, SM Bacolod, SM Iloilo, SM Davao, SM Cebu, Robinsons Place Ermita, Rustan’s Alabang Town Center, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Rustan’s Gateway, Rustan’s Makati, Landmark Makati and TriNoma.
