The Fullerton Hotel Singapore

We owe ourselves a break every once in a while. Our mind and body needs badly needs it especially after working so hard. We can either go to a spa resort to unwind and have a relaxing massage, watch a movie with our family, friends or love ones, play a computer game online, go to the beach or if you have more than enough, enjoy a long vacation abroad such as Singapore.

Singapore is one of the best places to visit in the South East Asia. My best friend have been here once with her husband and son to celebrate her son's fourth birthday. She highly recommended The Fullerton Hotel Singapore because of their superb customer service and world class accommodation. She was also impressed with amazing architectural design. In fact, this luxurious hotel just recently received an award from The Asia Pacific Hotel Awards for Best Hotel Architecture (2013) and Travel + Leisure India’s Best Awards for Best Heritage Hotel (World Category) (2013). They have also earned a four star rating from Forbes Travel Guide 2013. They have earned numerous awards prior to these as well.

This grandiose hotel which shines at night because of the beautiful architectural lights and lanterns is located in 1 Fullerton Square Singapore, 0491786733, 8388. This hotel is used to be known as the Fullerton Building after the name of Robert Fullerton, the first Governor of the Straits Settlements. What's interesting about this 400-room-and-suite hotel is that this used to be the General Post Office and The Singapore Club and the Chamber of Commerce. Moreover there are other beautiful places surrounding the hotel area where you can visit and take pictures.

There are so many places that I wish I could visit. I wish I have more than enough money. But, while I am saving for my next vacation, I will just enjoy what I have right now.

Animé Geeks

If there is a place I want to be right now, that will be Japan. Also known as the Land of the Rising Sun, Japan is famous for its contribution in the entertainment industry such as animé.I don't know anybody who does not watch animé. Even my mom who is already a senior watches animé. I grew up watching animé and I am sure that the next generation of my family will love animé. 

I remember when we were little, my brother and i would sit in front of our 14 inched black and white television and wait for several hours just to watch our favorite TV animé series at the time which were Astro Boy, Voltes V, The Super Dimension Fortress Macross or Macross, and Candy Candy. Voltes V is still my favorite. Added to my list of favorites are Dragon Ball, Ghost Fighter, Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist, One Piece, Hunter X Hunter And Naruto. However, in spite of my inkling to animé, I have not reached to a point where I would have to wear costumes to impersonate their favorite animé characters yet. However, one of my friends who is also a big fan of animé too specifically Dragon Ball named their first and only child to Gohan who is also first borne son of Son Goku because of his too much attachment to animé. 

Mt. Fuji and other tourist destinations, rich culture, and festivals, I want to visit Japan because of the anime and manga stores. I know that my fellow animé fans will love the stores as well. There is a popular capsule toy vending machines in Akiba known as Akihabara Gachapon Kaikan. You will be amazed with their vast vending machine of animé toys which are illuminated with angle lighting reflector or commercial lighting to attract more customers. You would also love to check out Mandarake, Gojira-ya, Liberty, Liberty, Animate, Akiba Culture Zone, Yodobashiand Cospa Gee Store which also sells other animé items.

Excercise And Good Health

They say that health is wealth. However, it is hard to stay physically and mentally healthy these days. It is either you starve yourself to death or eat low calorie foods to keep your body fit. Then torture yourself by not eating those food that will make you fat and unhealthy such as cakes, ice cream, roasted pork, lasagna, etc. Although according to some experts it is okay to eat these type of food as long as you keep it to a moderation. But it really takes a herculean effort to stop your self from wanting for more. 

Drink plenty of water before eating sounds like a good advice to stop yourself from eating more. But it is easier said than done. I know because I used to say that. Regular exercise will keep you physically and mentally fit too. I used to say that as well. It is because exercise is no problem to me. I go to work on foot since my office was only a walking distance. Doing that now is not possible which is probably the reason why my body had expanded by ten pounds and still gaining. I used to weigh 100 pounds before. I know that an extra ten pounds is still okay but the fact that there are a lot of diet breaking food out there is what worries me and the lack of regular exercise. I also tried several diet plans but nothing seem to work for me. Enrolling in a gym class such as Gold's Gym in 360 Hampton Drive, Venice, California is the best option.

Gold's Gym, The Mecca Of Bodybuilding. Just by the name of it promises a positive outcome in achieving the body you want. The place which is heralded with outdoor gooseneck lights is equipped with the latest work out equipment. It is also well maintained and the staff are also wonderful. One of the best things about this gym is that they had also allotted a huge space outdoors for free weights and stretching. This is definitely the best place to go to if you want to be physically and mentally healthy.

The Keys To Success

 

 

In order to raise good children we need to provide them the basic necessities such as food, shelter and clothing. As parents or parent it is also our duty to send them to a good school, provide them financial and emotional security, shower them with tons of love and guide them as they grow older. Perhaps every responsible parents or parent has his or her own checklist in good parenting. Since every child is unique they should be treated uniquely as well. But the outcome is still the same and that is to bring up good, responsible, successful and loving children. 

The same thing goes if you are running a business. Any businessman who wants their business venture to be successful follow the same objective. They provide everything necessary for the success of their products or businesses. They conduct research and other marketing strategies such as advertising and promotions to keep their business afloat. They also provide security by adding alarm systems, closed-circuit television cameras or CCTV cameras, commercial lighting fixtures and security guards. You are not only securing your business but you are also helping your community. Business owners should also guide their employees and ensure that they are well-paid, have a good working condition and are treated well. 

However their are also times that in spite of our hard work we still encounter some drawbacks. But then again everybody fails. Rome is not built in a day. It takes a lot of patience and perseverance in order to be successful. Successful businessmen like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates faced several rejections before. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs were nobodies before their names were written in Forbes list of the world's wealthiest people. As what the late and former Prime MinisterWinston Churchill said, “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.”

Advertise Good

Creativity alone is not enough in attracting customers to your store. It also takes wit, planning, research and strategy. Competition is tough and companies will only hire the best advertising agency and those advertisers who can influence the nation. In my previous blog I mentioned something about how advertising agencies use the power of media to hypnotize us into buying the products their company is promoting. I also mentioned about some ads which creates an environmental impact and raises social awareness. One of these advertising agencies which aims in creating the world a better place through advertising is Barkley. 

Barkley which is location in 1740 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri, 64108 is an award winning independent advertising agency which believes in a philosophy making the world a better place by adding something good to it. They believe that good is a strategy and thoughtful and use good in their advertisements. They are among the few advertising agencies which does not focus in "hypnotizing" the public to buying alone but in creating happiness as well. We need advertisers like them considering how some advertisers will do anything, even disregarding values. Let's face it. Some advertisements we saw on television, flyers, outdoor wall mounted banner bracket, billboards or online can be too disturbing, racist, sexist, malicious, promotes violence or warfare, and not fit to be watched by minors. We do not need these type of advertisements showing up anywhere on our television screens, computer monitors or the streets. Bear in mind that as advertisers you have a responsibility to world. Whatever you promote influences us especially the impressionable minds of the younger generations.

Advertisements do not need to be dirty. Business owners who wants their companies or products promoted do need bad advertisements. Perhaps they will receive attention from the public but for how long? In order for a business to grow or flourish they need advertisements or promotions which will uplift not just their company but the morale of their employees. I may not be an expert in the business world but for sure I would buy products from companies who promotes good values.
