I don’t think we have a methadone detox rehab treatment center here in our country. I haven’t really seen or heard a lot about rehab centers in our place. Unlike in the US and other countries where they have lots of rehab centers, we only have a few here and most are not really widely known. I only hear them when a local celebrity is said to be admitted into rehab but it’s not that often. They also don’t give out any of the names of these centers unlike when Hollywood celebrities check into rehab.
Food Network makes me want to be a chef.
I wanted to be a chef when I was younger but the tuition fee is expensive. So I took Business Management instead since I was able to get partial scholarship back then. These days my desire to be one has resurfaced because of all the cooking shows on cable tv, especially Food Network. I know Banquet Chef Jobs can be difficult but I’m really interested in going for it. I’m leaning more on pastry work so I’m saving up for a 14-months program I’m interested in.
Business thoughts.
It’s hard to find new products and business ideas these days. It seems like the same types of products are being sold everywhere that it’s hard to find a good product to target. Back in college, our professors talked about catering to different market segments by anticipating their needs and pursuing those. People basically buy things they need and if you anticipate it well, you’ll be able to create lucrative products.
These days many companies target the baby boomers and the older generation because they make up a big market. For example, if you go around stores, you’ll see many urinary incontinence products because it answers a need. There are also more health product shops, spas and fitness gyms because as people age, they start looking for healthy options and lifestyles. If I had the funding, one of the concept stores I’d like to have would be a wellness fitness spa and store. It would be a single storey center with areas for wellness services, fitness services and an organic grocery shop.
RVs in the Philippines
I haven’t seen much RVs here in our country. I’ve only seen them on TV when a celebrity buys one because it usually makes it into the showbiz segment of local news. They’re quite expensive with all the taxes and duties added to the price, so only a handful of people can really afford them. I think Jolina Magdangal and Kris Aquino have them. At least that’s what I remember seeing in the news.
Since there aren’t much RVs I don’t think we have companies that offer rv towing here. Maybe if RVs get cheaper, families would start buying them. I prefer that over a van since we’re 7 in the family. It’s hard to go on long trips on the vans here because we have to make lots of bathroom stops and it’s not easy finding one, especially clean ones.
WordPress changes.
Wow. I just updated some of my blogs and the new WordPress dashboard is pretty and tidy! I’m a little OC so finally seeing a clean dashboard is a breath of fresh air. 
I really like that the Posts & Pages are on separate places now. Or where they always seperated? I seem to remember clicking the post or pages accidentally when I need the other. xD I’m also very happy to see how streamlined the new dashboard is. I prefer this sleek and compact version which maximizes the space available. The older ones took a lot of space and I needed to do quite a bit of scrolling.
I haven’t been playing around with WordPress for a while so I think I’ll spend some more time with it this weekend.
