Cafe World!!!

I've neglected blogging because of the virtual games in facebook like cafe world & farmville...

Cooking in Cafe World – At the beginning of Cafe World your first concern should be to buy some food to prepare. To do this, click on the oven and a menu will pop-up to let you select the type of food you want to cook. Once, you’ve done that you’ll need to prepare the food by continuing to click on the stove.

Choosing food in Cafe World – There are various menu items to select from with each costing you a different amount of money to make. Generally speaking the more a dish costs to make, the greater your profits. However, you also have to consider the time it takes to make that particular dish as well. Some items take much longer to make (i.e. days versus minutes) and can spoil if your don’t serve them when they’re ready.

Cafe points help you level-up – Cafe points are given to you for doing such things as cooking, cleaning, buying items, and helping your Cafe friends. As you acquire more Cafe points you’ll reach new game levels in Cafe World.

Buzz rating – In the upper right hand corner of the Cafe World screen you’ll see a thumbs-up image and a numerical value. That number represents your buzz rating. The buzz rating determines how many customers come to your Cafe. If the value increases, more people come to visit you and you’ll earn more money. If it goes down, so does your customer traffic and potential earnings.

Why neighbors are important – If you click on the “My Neighbors” link at the top of the page you’ll be able to see all your Cafe World neighbors. There you can invite and accept new neighbors to your Cafe. Neighbors are important because they limit what you can do in the game. That is, you need neighbors to work for you as waiters and waitresses at your Cafe. You can also earn more Cafe coins by increasing the number of neighbors you have. Hence, it’s important to continue to invite more Facebook friends to increase the size of your Cafe World neighbors and thus make more money.

Gifting to neighbors – Giving and receiving gifts in Cafe World is beneficial for all parties involved. That is, giving gifts to your Cafe World neighbors often encourages reciprocal gifting. The gifts you receive maybe something you and and many times they are something you can’t afford or obtain yet because of your skill level.

Helping your neighbors – Helping your Cafe World neighbors from time to time encourages them to reciprocate that act too. You can do this by visiting their cafes, trying their daily special, and leaving tips. Doing so increases your Cafe World experience points and your daily bonus.

Select menu items with big profits – When you’re deciding on what food dish to prepare, consider the cost of the dish, the cooking time, how many it serves, and how much profit you can generate from the dish. You can easily compare the profitability of food dishes by subtracting the cost of the dish from the Cafe coins you make (profit) and dividing that number by the cost of the dish. This value is also known as the ROI (return on investment). The larger your ROI, the more profitable it is to make such a food dish. For instance, the spitfire roasted chicken dish takes an entire day to cook, serves 800 people, costs you 600 Cafe coins, and earns you 3200 in sales. So our ROI for the chicken dish is (3200-600)/600 = 4.33 or 433%. In comparison, you can prepare the bacon cheeseburger dish in 5 minutes for 13 people at a cost of 15 Cafe coins and sell it for 52 Cafe coins. In this case our cheeseburger dish produces an ROI of (52-15)/15 = 2.46 or 246%.

Plan food around your schedule – As you may know menu items differ in their time to completion when cooking them. Thus you’ll want to select food items to cook based on how much time you have available to play Cafe World any given day. If you have lots of time to play during the day, you can choose items off the menu that take a short time cook. In contrast, if you have very little time to play during the day, you can begin cooking food dishes that aren’t completely done until you’re available to play again.

Beware of spoiled food – When choosing your food items and planning the cooking around your schedule make sure you don’t forget about them or they will spoil. If your food spoils, you can’t serve it to customers and you lose any potential profits. Moreover, your buzz rating will likely fall given that you don’t have any food to serve and flies will be swarming inside your cafe

Cassy!

Lets Help

With this kind of calamity happening to our country its high time that we join hands in helping our fellow countrymen...my kids are not that affected because they are living in the comforts of our home....but i like them to feel that all of us are affected of this crisis...during news hour at night it is a must for them to watch the news....after dinner i tell them to sit with me and all of us would watch updates on ondoys victims....to open their eyes how other people are affected and how lucky they are...that they are staying in a dry place, wearing clean clothes, eating more that 3 meals a day, playing the computer and watching cartoons and they don't need to stay in evacuations center and wait for relief goods because they are already homeless....its really very tragic for the kids...but i like them to feel how it is to help in their own little way...so i let them help us in packing relief goods to be brought to the ondoy victims....thanks to my brother and sister who are residing at the us who sent money for the goods.May God guide and protect all of us. God Bless the Philippines!

Wake-up call...

What happened to us last September 26, 2009 was mother natures way of awakening all of us....

Global Change

Changes in the global environment (including alterations in climate, land productivity, oceans or other water resources, atmospheric chemistry, and ecological systems) that may alter the capacity of the Earth to susta
in life. (from the Global Change Research Act of 1990)

Climate change will have
consequences for the Earth
system and human lives .

Melting of ice sheets and glaciers, combined with the
thermal expansion of seawater as the oceans warm,
is causing sea level to rise. Seawater is beginning to
move onto low-lying land and to contaminate coastal
fresh water sources and beginning to submerge
coastal facilities and barrier islands. Sea-level rise
increases the risk of damage to homes and buildings
from storm surges such as those that accompany
hurricanes.

Act now to prevent future world hunger

Climate change will drastically reduce wheat and rice production

if nations don't take steps now to prepare.

Solving this problem is doable,

if the world has the will to tackle it.

Parent-daughter bonding

We had a seminar yesterday at Bianca's school and it was a blast....almost all of us parents are having a hard time on how to discipline our grade 5 daughters and the seminar was really what we needed...when we arrived i was surprised that Bianca was one of the usherettes :)

Before starting the seminar...we were asked to write everything that would cause distractions and anything that would make us feel uneasy during the seminar...then we were asked to throw it at the trash bin...and just for the moment give our time and make the most out of the seminar...which really worked :)

Both of us attended the seminar...see Bianca how much we love you

We are having a hard time communicating with our kids so instead of using "You" messages we should use the "I" messages....

example: Bianca please do your assignment.

we should use: Bianca can I see your assignment notebook...

It can really work because the kids would feel that we are involved in the tasks.

Empathy, which literally translates as 'in feeling', is the capability to share and understand another's emotions and feelings. It is often characterized as the ability to "put oneself into another's shoes".

The kids sang for us after the seminar...

Thank you Ms. Amurao for giving this kind of seminar...we hope we can apply everything we learned. Kudos Ma'am!

Surprise party for Kenneth

We were not supposed to celebrate it this way...sef wanted it very simple...but when we saw his grades...94,93,91,90,89, his lowest 81 sibika (if it was 85 he would be among the top students) we were surprised...so we gave him a surprise party...booked his party same day at 7:30am...good that there was still a slot available...we just invited thru text messages ...we just told kenneth that we are going to jollibee for merienda and he can also play...when we arrived at jollibee he was surprised to his cousins...and told me..."mommy pati classmate ko nandito..." then i pulled him and asked him to read the banner "happy birthday kenneth darren" he was amused and i told him surprise! he was so happy and he kissed me. :)! he was so happy and he kissed me :)
