Air21: Online Sellers Business Partner


If your're an online seller, one of the things you must consider is which courier to entrust your shipment.
Now that's not something we must be serious about coz failure of shipping sabotage
our reputation which loosely based on trust from people and customer who barely know us and we might eventually lose clients and damage our business and business name if we take it lightly.

Since I started online selling, I go with Air21 services.  I specifically liked their Door to Door Sulight Packages which fits most of my shipment that weight around 1.50 to 4 Kilos.

Compare to small couriers we have around now, Air21 is still a bit pricey but considering the reliability of it, 
I still prefer their service. I learned in the process that most clients, specially those who are excited with their purchases and provincial transaction are not really much concern if they pay a bit higher as long as we could be trustworthy as well, deliver them what they pay for. 

I dropped them at my favorite Mail n More branch in Tiendesitas, Pasig and if the attendant tell me it will be a day or two days shipment, I am confident to inform my buyers that their shipment are on the way with that exact time frame. No worries, I could relax and I like it very much. 

I basically like the text service that I and my clients received informing us when shipment will be deliver and on my end, if the shipment was already received by my clients. Again, I am after punctuality, reliability and speed transaction. I have a regular work and busy doing other stuffs and I hate services that consumes my precious time. 

Visit their website, www.air21.com.ph and check the Sulight Packages that might suit your needs; http://www.air21.com.ph/main/sulight.php

Like what I wrote in my collage photos above, enjoy what matter's most in life like fun, activities, pursuing passion, work, family, friends and me-moments because Air21 will guarantee they will take good care of our shipments the way we care for our businesses.

Kudos to Air21, Online Sellers Business Partner.

Ear Accessory Turned Necklace Pendant


The pendant in this necklace is actually an ear accessory. Its just it doesn't perfectly fit my ear and so I have to do something to make it useful.
The antique-color of the metal and the intricacy of the rose and leaves detail makes it perfect
as pendant. 
I used a necklace chain with the same color and voila, I have a new vintage-inspired necklace.

Nail Polish as Clothes Marker


If you are living in a shared apartment or room with people not your relatives, you must experience what its like to lose your personal property such as clothes hangers in your closet when someone simply took it or used it for their laundry.

Here's how to retrieve your stuff just in case you need it for yourself and avoid discussions when
the other person think it is theirs.

Mark at the top portion of the clothes hangers if you think you will be using it too for white clothes. I have mine at the bottom coz I don't want the marker too visible. 


Materials/Procedures:
1. Clothes hangers
2. Nail polish or paint
3. Marked  the clothes hanger with your choice of color of nail polish. Let it dry. This will be your marker in them.
4. When you need to retrieve them, tell them you place all your stuff with the same mark. Show the rest as a proof.

Impromptu Sea Shells Bracelet


I made this sea shell bracelet in Dampalitan Island from the shells abundant in the beach.
My initial plan was to make a kite from the twigs in the area,but I bought crepe papers instead of japanese paper and so my dream kite flying wasn't successful and thought of making a bracelet instead. 
I got bored from waiting for the rest of the guys to return for they checked the other side of the island where a pond raising shrimps was located.
When they returned, I already had a new accessory for next day adventure to Borawan Island. Cool!

From this experience, I learned that dried shells away from the sea water are easier to poke hole in it but breaks easily while those still in the water are harder to poke hole but less fragile. I recommended the latter.

Materials/Procedures:
1. Gather shells, thread, knife and rock.
2. Poke hole in the shells.
3. Cut enough thread and place shell alternately.
4. Make an adjustable knot.
