This was a project in one of our TQM subject. We had to go Laguna to visit the plant site and know what are the processes and functions of the firm. Also had a plant tour inside and it's free, the staff are accommodating that makes it a whole fun experience. I encourage everyone to visit their office although it's in Laguna. See more pictures inside.

Here are a list of things that I'm wishing for to have this Christmas. Hopefully, one of my wishes will be fulfilled.^^
A brand new pair of converse chuck taylors. This sneakers are for ages, they look really cool.
Last December 2, I was going home after school. It was around 8 in the evening somehow I gazed upon the sky and look I saw a smiley in the sky. The two stars forming the eyes and the shape of the moon clinching up the smile. It was really cool to see this once in a lifetime event, unfortunately I wasn't able to get pictures of it since I was in Divisoria and scared that my cellphone will be snatched. Well, the next day It was featured in the inquirer magazine. Amazing!From the inquirerMANILA, Philippines—Now showing in the Philippine night sky: A smiling face formed by the rare alignment of planets Venus and Jupiter and directly below it, the crescent moon.
Jose Pepe Mendoza, of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), told the Philippine Daily Inquirer Tuesday that Venus had aligned with Jupiter to form the right and left eyes respectively, while the moon, on its first phase, had formed a happy mouth.
Mendoza said there was a similar “planetary conjunction” of the same planets in February “but only in the morning sky ... It is pretty rare to see this in the evening sky.”
He explained that the moon was “waxing crescent into its first quarter” together with Venus and Jupiter against the background of the constellation Sagittarius.
The conjunction can be viewed, Mendoza said, in the country’s south-western horizon.
No smileys in US, Europe
The smiling face can also be seen in Australia. However, the sky show in the United States and Europe will have Jupiter, Venus and the moon in a frown, a survey of news reports on the Web showed.
Mendoza said the unusual alignment will be visible until January next year. Astronomers are in for another heavenly treat, he added, because on Dec. 13, there will be a meteor shower.
Is a smiley in the heavens a good or bad omen?
Good luck?
“There are people who believe that the smiling face would bring good luck. Or good results in whatever one undertakes,” Mendoza said.
However, he could not say if the alignment would be good for the country’s political situation.
According to an astrologer, Resti Santiago, the alignment bodes well for President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo in forming alliances and partnerships—a fortuitous coincidence, as her allies are marshalling moves to amend the Constitution allegedly to extend her term.
Her good luck, however, could be short-lived, he warned.Turbulence next week
Basing his analysis on the astrological chart of the President, Santiago said: “Her chart shows that these days, there will be some luck for her in forming partnerships and alliances. This good luck has been activated by the recent alignment of three heavenly bodies ... but next week will be a turbulent time because the sun and Mars will form a negative alignment with Saturn and Uranus.”
Nonetheless, Santiago said, the “smiling face” will bring good luck since Venus and Jupiter are considered lucky planets.
Also in luck are those born in the signs of Taurus, Capricorn and Virgo, he said.
