Anyway, congrats to both of you! Happy parenting soon! :P

5 Ways To Get Hired - Job Interview Guide
Financial Crisis or not, we all need to work. Sometimes, all we have is just one chance -- not more, maybe less. Do you know the difference between successful person and others? What sets them apart is how they respond to these life experiences.
Top 5 Ways to Pass Your Dream Job Interview
Your phone rings and... surprise! You’ve just been invited for a job interview -- a job you wanted to have and the company you want to work with. What should you do? You’ve never been in an interview before or always screw up on interviews.
Nevertheless, here are some ways to pass that interview...
• Be Punctual. Arrive 15-20 minutes earlier on the said schedule. Allow sufficient time so that you won’t arrive looking stressed or flustered. But if circumstances ‘beyond your control’ prevent you from getting to an interview on time, always ensure to notify the recruiter/employer. An apology should be extended.
• Relax. This is the best suggestion I can give before an interview. Easier said than done, right? Try to take a deep breath and recall all your accomplishments: the education, training and experiences you have. Accomplishments are also applicable on fresh graduates, experiences during your thesis or internship will do.
• Be prepared. Always bring an extra copy of your resume and make sure you know what position you’re applying for. We all know that companies have different job vacancies, I’m sure you don’t want to be in a situation where the recruiter ask you “what position are you applying for?” then you say “ uhmm.. I can’t remember”. Moreover make sure to have an in-depth research about the company, on what they do and their vision/ mission.
• Be Honest. Most job interviewers can distinguish a false answer. Instead of lying, try to focus on your strengths. Interviewers don’t look for a perfect employee but the best person suitable for the position and what you can contribute to their organization. If you are a fresh graduate, you have to assure your prospect employer that you are trainable, and that you have the drive to learn new things.
• Limit your questions. After the interview, most job interviewers may ask you if you have questions or clarifications. Make sure to limit your questions regarding the scope of the job. You may ask them to further discuss the nature of the job or what would be the next step after the interview. If you have question regarding the compensation, I suggest you to postpone this question until your second interview.
Lastly thank the interviewer then end it with as smile and handshake. Make the interviewer feel that you mean business.
Do’s and Don’t during the interview
• Do ask your friends to conduct an interview with you. This may help you feel less nervous and confident during the interview.
• Do get enough sleep. It’s better to have good state of mind during the interview.
• Do give straight to the point answers. Don’t include non-related answers. If you’re being asked on what is/are your contributions in project A don’t include your contribution in project B.
• Do bring necessary things only.
• Do keep your resume on a folder or envelope to avoid it to be crumpled.
• Do make yourself look professional and impressive for your interview. Long-sleeved polo, neck-tie and slacks for men while polo and slacks/ skirt for the ladies.
• Don’t wear printed polo and neck tie. (e.g. floral, cartoon character)
• Don’t tap your feet.
• Don’t answer calls during the interview. Better to put it on silent mode.
• Don’t over accessorize yourself. It is ok to express your freedom but remember, you are not going to a party.

Hidden meanings behind 8 famous logos
Logo is a shortcut for the word logotype, which is a recognizable graphic design element, representing an organization or product.
Some logos can be a fail and some are amazing. Nobody would like to be categorized in the fail department of course. For most start-up companies without one yet, I am sure that you are doing extensive research on what your logo will mean to your company and also know how it will appear from another persons point of view.
Here are some examples you can draw inspiration on while conceptualizing your own logo:
1. Carrefour
Others who aren't familiar with this might see this as just two arrows pointing on different directions. If you try and find the letter "C", you will be surprised that there is indeed a letter "C" in the logo. I personally admit that I've never seen the letter C before and just thought that this was just another company logo.
2. FedEx
Most people already know this but, it's still worth mentioning here since this blog is about logos. For the benefit of those who doesn't know, concentrate your attention on the letters "E" and "x". The white space those 2 letters create, form an arrow pointing to the right side. This signifies forward or moving forward and this is what their comapny does.
3. Amazon
Another creative logo. Amazon is an online retailer that sells books, video games, toys, music, video recordings and more. They sell almost everything. The logo has this arrow pointing from A to Z. This signifies that they sell everything from A to Z. This also appears as a smiley for those who aren't familiar with it. I am not sure though if their service is with a smile because I've never transacted with them before.
4. Unilever
Who would've thought that this "U" shaped logo would still have a meaning behind it. Actually, it is over it. Over the "U"that is! Each icon within it represents an aspect of their business. To know more about it, let this website explain the details to you > http://www.unilever.com/ourcompany/aboutunilever/introducingunilever/ourlogo/
5. Toblerone
You might say that it's just the Swiss Alps beside the Toblerone writing but, take a closer look. There is a polar bear in what seems to be just a mountain. Since toblerone originated in Berns, switzerland (also known as city of bears), they hid a polar bear in the logo in which for most people, appears to be just a mountain or the swiss alps.
6. Mcdonald's
M = Mcdonald's. According to him, the "M" is that of a woman's chest. On a psychological point of view, if i'm not mistaken, it provides us of a "feeding and nurturing" impression.
7. Jollibee
A Filipino version of Mcdonald's. A burger with huge patties (Jollibee's cheeks). A subconscious message that their burgers are big ... or something like that.
8. Victoria Court (Motel)
Looking at the woman in the logo, One can form a typical shape of a sperm (head and tail) with the head of the woman and her finger/hand as a tail.
