Restaurant Maintenance

I remember news about a restaurant coming up in flames in a recognized mall a few months ago. It happened on a weekday, during lunch hour so there were a lot of guests, mostly employees on their lunch break, that were hurt. Initial investigation showed that it was due to a faulty gas tank that leaked.

Since then, public safety laws on commercial establishments have been strictly enforced, especially in restaurants and school. In fact there is a law that was enforced in 1996 called the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992. Commercial Kitchen Vent Cleaning was specifically mentioned in Paragraph 22.

The cleaning of kitchen ventilators, extractor fans and ductwork cleaning should be done in regular intervals with records on reports logged in and kept. This is important as majority of commercial kitchen fires start in the ductwork and can be prevented by regular and professional cleaning of kitchen vents.

Hygienic Maintenance Limited (HML) is a company founded by Roy Munford, Barry King and Steve Scott seventeen years ago. Their company specializes in the assessing, cleaning and monitoring of ducted air systems and specifically related air products. They are proud most of their workforce as most of their employees have been with them since the beginning, giving them more experience, work-wise.

Mobile Wallpapers

I am not much of a cellular phone addict. I need one to carry my day to day communication needs, but I don’t have the need to dress the phone up nor have the need to always have the latest model once it is released. One thing I am fond of though is having the pictures of my kids as wallpapers for my phone. I know most would prefer cars, or movies or celebrities – you can go to Mozoot for that and take your pick among the plenty of wallpapers for mobile phones. Mozoot is where you need to go when you need to get high-quality mobile phone wallpapers.

Water Lines

With the recent devastating effects of typhoons left and right (there have been three super typhoons that hit Luzon in a span of one month alone), water plumbing and tubings are in badly need of repair. It has been found out the E.coli, a gastrointestinal bacteria, is present in water supplied to most cities. The waste water parts should replace those defective tubings!

Pinoy Cooking: RSM Lutong Bahay

RSM Lutong Bahay RSM Lutong Bahay

It was our first time to eat at RSM Lutong Bahay along Tagaytay Hiway last week and it didn’t disappoint. I will blog about their food next time (silly hungry me was not able to take pictures – but at least I was still smart enough to get a copy of their menu) and my review on it.

I love the cozy atmosphere of the place and the view downstairs. The kids we brought along had fun running under foggy skies.

I especially liked their quaint wooden decorations. I wonder if they get their wooden blinds from Wooden Blinds Direct.  They used the Roman Blinds on one section of the restaurant and it lent a privacy to the room. Their clearance wood shutters run from only 25pounds!

Losing the Belly Fat

 

I am a big woman and admittedly, obese. I am tall for my size so I can somehow my built to an extent, if only my huge pot belly isn’t sticking it out. I get mistaken for a pregnant woman all the time! People advise me that the only way to lose the belly is to steer clear from sugar and carbs (refined ones) so I don’t get bloated that much.

Here is what Jen Mueller, Certified Personal Trainer and Nicole Nichols, Certified Fitness Instructor has to say:

There is no way to target weight loss to a specific area of the body because your body decides where it wants to put on weight and where it wants to take it off. The midsection is a common "problem" area for many people.

The best way to lose fat is through cardiovascular exercise. It is important to do a variety of abdominal exercises (including crunches) to keep your core strong, but until that excess fat is gone, you will not see the muscle definition. So if you’re not doing cardio, crunches are not going to help get the six-pack you’ve been hoping for. Regular cardio exercise at a level that’s challenging for you is your best bet.

A Big Celebration is in Order!

I need to send out a huge congratulations for Generational Equity for bagging 11 nominations in the The M&A Advisor awards which will be held on December 14 in New York City.

Congratulations to the other nominees as well!
