Loud and Raw

It has been less than half a year since my scooter, a Honda Dio Limited Benetton Edition started and been used. Because of my disappointing experience with the police who sued me for not wearing a helmet, I lost the will to ever drive my scooter again. I left it on our garage without even touching it (but I used to sit there while smoking my cigar). Then there came a time when Im so eager to use it but the engine just won’t start, I kept on guessing what the problem is. Maybe the oil tank dried up, the battery dried as well or some unexplainable factor that I do not know.

Last night while I was out drinking with some friends, brothers in community, Carlo suggested that we will fix my Dio the next day. Then there came this day while the sun reached at its highest I have decided to read New Moon then an hour later Carlo rang our doorbell and asked me if he can check my dio. I gathered the required tools for the operation of my Dio then we started tearing it apart. Luckily he managed to point where the problem is. The spark plug was busted, the gasoline expired, the battery ran low. ( I am right all along with the last two problems). He bought the Plug with my money, cleaned my gas tank and refuel it with his reserve, install it again on the Dio then kick started it. Finally! it fired up after a very very long time.

We’ve ran a series of road test and came up with another problem, the brakes, the fanbelt, the headlight are not in a so good condition as if my Dio had been in a very bad accident. After everything is put back to normal, pertaining to the parts and the body kit he asked me to bring it to a nearby shop as soon as I can so that it will be followed up with a professional aid. I paid him the gas that he transferred to my tank then a little extra for his work. I am glad that my scooter is not just a junk after all, a little tweaking shouyld make it in better shape and once everything else is done I will sell it and maybe buy a new one. It is all thanks to my friends who patiently repaired my time devastated Dio. Thanks bro!

“Retailing in Challenging Times” was the 17^th national retailers conference’s theme. The three day exhibit was held on Crowne Plaza Hotel Foyer in Ortigas. The event’s aim was to gather companies that provide products and services as a retailer. Our group went there last August 14, 2008 and we are surprised by the number of decent looking people around us as we set foot on the exhibition hall. The first thing that we have noticed are the booths around us, some high-end LCD that says “Welcome” which reminds us that this is not an ordinary exhibition hall. JR Acosta said that the display contains names, products and services in which we are not very familiar of. Though we noticed that popularly big companies like PLDT, Globe Telecom, and Philips occupied a much larger room than of having a smaller booth, The first stalls that we’ve seen contains the companies who provides the top of the line supplies of software and hardware, barcodes, fire security, anti shoplifting security, real estate developers, complex radios, in store radios, licensing, uniform manufacturing and many more. As we walk past the exhibition we gathered pamphlets and we came across a newspaper called iFranchise. Juan De Guzman said that this magazine will be helpful for us because it contains recent news about franchising and importantly, locally.

Jules Barlis jumped in excitement as we see more people around us, decent looking, well-dressed, properly groomed individuals who look like corporation owners walking around the hall. De los Santos also stated that when he asked one man from a booth about how this works, the man said that displaying their company’s name and the products and services they offer somewhat opens new opportunities and a wider audience. Logronio agreed to the statement with an idea on his mind that he shared with every one of us. He said that companies inside the exhibition hall should feel blessed for they share each one’s honor of attending this year’s exhibit, they must be proud he added.

Golo also stated that what he has seen inside the exhibit was new to his eyes, in fact for all of us it is amazement. Robles stated that the exhibit was supposed to knock people off their feet upon seeing the products behind a company. To sum up everything, we learned a lot in a way that we understand some important elements in retailing from there. There are many products and services in which are intended to be used particularly by retailers, franchisers and store owners in which retailers become the consumer of some other supplier or retailing company. They benefit from each other so as the regular consumers around them.

After the midterm was over, the next big thing to do is to wait for the grades to come out. Grades come in parts, just like Harley parts, it is sorted and should be properly computed to make it sure that all things will go smoothly. As for me, my grades went well and I can’t believe that I am talking about college here. Perhaps, I am just happy so don’t blame me.
