INTERIEW!

I Interviewed the CEO/Owner of The Guanzon Group of Companies Mr. Joseph Lo. And asked him questions about how the company developed. How has it been handled and it started.

These are the following questions i asked and his answers:

1.Q:First i asked him about his business. On how did he started it?

A:I took over the hardware store of my Dad after school. From there I converted it into a network of motorcycle store and car dealerships.

2.Q:What made you go into this kind of Business?

A: My dad actually sells all sort of things in his hardware stores. Bicycle, Fishing supplies electrical items etc. I decided to narrow my focus by concentrating on motorcycle only. because i believe motorcycle business is very complex. It attracts less competitor. Looking back, it was a correct decision.

3.Q:What are some benefits of owning your own business and running it?

A:Unlike employment you control from the top and you get the biggest share of the business success. But of course you take most of the risk as well.

4.Q:What specific goals have you established for your career?

A: Goals are set every now and then. Sometimes you achieve it sometimes you don't. Whats important is to be able to stand the challenge of time.

5.Q: The last question is about what if someone wanted to own a business like yours what recommendations or advices would you like to give especially for those who are taking up business courses?

A: Well all the comfort and luxuries your enjoying now are paid for by your parents. One day you will be the one paying these bills. Schools teaches you the science of making money.Your grades is your score board. it gauges the amount you have learned, but more importantly it measures your ability to deal with obligations and responsibilities. For you to make it well in business as well as all the important things in life, the key is your attitude toward these two.

Lavender Watermelon Shake

My Mom and Dad just got home from Italy last week. So they stayed in Manila for two days. I told them  that we were asked to do a drink review in our English class. So we took our lunch at California Pizza Kitchen or also know as CPK. It is aBAr and restaurant place in Trinoma. I ordered a glass of Lavender watermelon shake with syrup on the side. I loved how they presented the drink, with a lavender flower on top. Its just a simple drink but i liked it. I love its uniqueness and besides It tasted a lot better that the usual same plain watermelon shake. It time for a new one. Explore your taste buds.

The Lavender watermelon shake has a flowery taste mixed with the sweet watermelon juice. The price was just right; it only cost about a hundred and fifteen pesos , yet it was Good. Also the waiters were nice and approachable. The tables are setted well, the chairs are comfortable and the comfort room is clean. They also have a wide range variety of drinks to choose from. A lot of different drinks were also good but the one I tried is the Best!I had a great experience of course I spent that whole day hanging out with my Family.

Special Turkey Recipe

Having Turkey every christmas is sort of a tradition for us. Well every christmas we serve turkey stuffed with corn muffin as a filling with gravy and cranberry sauce on the side. It was always prepared by my dad and me. It started when I was in 5th grade, someone gave us turkey for Christmas. All all of a sudden my aunts and uncles start suggesting that we should have Turkeys every Christmas. So everybody agreed on it. So my dad started experimenting on it stuffing muffins, adding vegetables and of course making our own gravy sauce.

Well the recipe isn't that really hard , so i think a lot of people can try it. and after those not so hard work it came out perfect. It taste really good. You can feel the tenderness and juiciness of the meat. Our christmas will also not be completed without these following food : ham, spaghetti or Pancit ( We always have noodles in special occasions like christmas because it signifies Long life, Its like a belief to Chinese people) We also have wines and even hot chocolate prepared by my grand mother.

I learned a lot of cooking with my dad. He teaches me how to bake, fry etc. I am always his little assistant. Little by little I got inspired by cooking, so by the time I grew much older I'll be preparing turkeys for Christmas. Every Christmas is a FEAST. So turkeys is a must!

"Texas in a Bun"

Paseo uno resataurant in Mandarin Oriental is a place you must visit. It is located across salcedo village along makati avenue near Bel-air village. The food is truly awesome, especially when it comes to burgers. Mandarin oriental Manila Texas burger in a sweet corn bun, beef glazed barbecue sauce topped with bacon, guacamole, fired onion cucumber and cheedar chesse. This is a must try burger. The way it looks at the menu looks the same as it is in actual. Its kind of pricy, it costs 600 peses, but it is worth trying. The service is excellent, staff are friendly and attentive. I love its ambeice it is very refreshing. Its guaranteed a five star hotel and restaurant. i really enjoyed the food its SUPERB! It is the best value for your money. This is simply the best. So far the first burger I ever liked. So for you burger lovers i recommend this place.The best food and full service.

"Social Networking"

A social network focuses on building and reflecting of social networks or social relation among people who share interest or activities. Social network services are web based and provide means for user to interact over internet such as email, instant messaging etc.

A lot of people chooses internet as a social networking for much easier work like for example you need to send an mail.just log-o n to your computer and send it through e-mail, instead of going to the post office this is a much easier way to send mail. Socializing with others requires less physical effort. instead of having a meeting with this person face to face, people use video conferencing or instant messaging that can contact the person right away. But the negative possibility effects of this is loosing your social skills in the real world.

So for myself social networking isn't really that bad for us because it makes things easier to do. But on the other hand is we must lessen this things and must control ourselves, because people nowadays are getting lazy and addicted to social networking sites like Twitter, Facebook ,Myspace and Yahoo messenger. Be aware that this sites can also be harmful.

"Coke means Happiness"

"COKE" they used quotations and sign languages to attract people, like how other people got influenced on what they are seeing in the television. What I love about this commercial is how the people portray their roles in this said commercial. First thing that would hit people is the meaning of "COKE"like what they have said in the commercial open coke,open Happiness.

The message that I get from these commercial, I know would be different perspective in life. Others will say like what i'll just drink coke and i'll be happy. But for me its different , I really don't get it that ways either. but I felt i can reflect myself form this particular commercial, like the family bonding,friendship,love and Happiness we have in coke. I also like the way they enhance the product into different types. Like in the past there is only one type of coke, But now look how big it is and on how they widen their horizon. The company now is even bigger and all over the world.

 Maybe in the near future I wouldn't doubt it that coke would be the biggest company in the world.

McDonald McSavers

McDonald McSavers meal shows that you must eat McDonald to save more money and eat cheap. In this commercial, there is a guy that is practically forcing other people to eat at McDonalds. He persaudes other people to eat at that certain restaurant.

This commercial appeals to me because it is very entertaining to a lot of people. It is like there was this 80's guy dancing like crazy.

People got amazed and entertained with the guy dancing and with food that is a lot cheaper than others. Like us Filipinos we like eating cheaper foods so we can save more money for our other expenses..

It is effective because wherever places I go theres always a Mcdonlad, so it was the first thing tat came up to my mind.

But i'm not saying that if you buy McDonalds every single day you can save you a lot of money.Of course not you are still spending money and besides Its still a fast food so its better not eating a lot.

It is affective to me because every time I see this commercial I laugh!.Even my cousin are entertained watching it.They sometimes even copy it.

What i learned about this commercial is how to save money and at the same time it is a much better food than Junk foods.
