6. New business ideas <tea.coffee shops with photostudio>

        Nowadays, coffee shops or TEA shops are very popular hangout places for friends who want or needs to catch up on each other or simply for those who want to have a lone time reading their favorite book or playing their favorite video game. Moreover, this has also been the new place where family gathers after a very sumptuous lunch or dinner.

        On the other hand, with the advent of digital technology, smart phones and its applications, we can see a lot of people in social networking sites posting their favorite pictures taken anywhere they may be. From the first shot taken in the morning up to the last photo before bed time, you see how people became very much into photography.

        Looking at this, I am thinking of putting up a business incorporating both ideas. A concept of coffee shop with digital studio that is open for customers to have their photos taken at any time. Yes, smart phones, SLR cameras, digital cameras can do the trick but photos taken in a professional studio with proper lights and settings is something very much worth keeping.

        Since both ideas are very popular to the youth, why not put them together to satisfy both of their wants, a very delicious cup of hot or iced coffee enjoyed with the company of their friends in a professional studio where memories can be captured and treasured for years to come.
This shop will have professional baristas to create their favorite coffee or tea and at the same time professional photographers to capture the moments worth remembering. The shop will look like an industrial warehouse with different backdrops or for digital effect the popular green cloth. Customers can just simply enjoy their coffee on a couch or at the same time have their photos taken with the company of their family and friends with a theme of their choice. Isn’t it amazing?4



11. What pisses you off at the school? What must be done?

        What pisses me off at AGSB particularly in the Dela Costa campus is that students are not allowed to stay in the classroom before their usual 6PM class because it is locked up and apparently, the employees authorize to open the classroom will come from the main Rockwell campus.

        There came a time that I, together with my group mates need to set up the room for our report. We prepared everything at home and have agreed to meet up in the campus at around 4PM only to find out that our classroom will not be opened 15 minutes before 6PM. We have requested if we can be accommodated since we need to set up something for our report, but we were informed that the authorize representatives with the keys to the classroom will be coming from Rockwell and will not be arriving anytime soon. To avoid frustration and take away our focus in our report, we just agreed to stay in the hallway as we prepare everything in order to set it up as fast as we could once the door has been opened.

        What should be done with this is that the keys should at least be left in Dela Costa campus to accommodate instances wherein students need to prepare or set up something for their report or presentation. Moreover, they should at least assign the job of classroom safekeeping to employees in Dela Costa and not those in Rockwell, or if this may be the case, at least allow these employees to come in Dela Costa as early as 3PM to ensure that students will be accommodated as necessary.

        Good thing is that our group is an all star cast and still was able to put up a very well presented report. <we can request the SG to open earlier say 5) 3
