Panda Exrpess: An Express to Happiness

Guest post written by my buddy Bernardo Graham

I set my home security alarm ( home security 101)

Panda Express has been in my city for around seven to eight years. Ever since they were established, they were a favorite in my family. Panda Express offers Asian food, made fresh, with fresh and natural ingredients, including rice, chicken, beef, etc.

My favorite dish is the orange chicken bar-none. This chicken is just chicken breast chunks with an orange glaze, with some spices, but is so good to your taste buds and satisfying to your stomach. It is always warm, in temperature and spice, along with the orange flavor, making it seem as if it is a delicacy. My family is not the only ones that absolutely love the orange chicken, it is a restaurant favorite. Panda Express offers different foods occasionally as well, usually different kinds of meats, such as sweet and sour pork, or other spicy chickens. Orange chicken is always in the menu though.

The atmosphere is just homey. The service is always exceptional and friendly. The price is surprisingly low, considering the amount of food is served and they type of food.

Over all, I like Panda Express because of the delicious food. Its price is right and the service is always fast and courteous.

Learn to accept the reality of life

That's right. Learn to accept the reality of life wherever you are. Speaking of job opportunities nowadays, even of you have the ability and you are qualified for the job you applied for, if you have no connections, it is really hard to be hired. I have seen a lot of unqualified people for the job they are in but because they have connections, the were able to get the job. It is very aggravating and frustrating to see this happening but what can we do?

A lot of people said, " you have to do volunteer work in order to market your ability". Wow!! that is easier said than done. With the gas price keep on increasing almost everyday, how many people would drive 10-15 miles to do volunteer work? Maybe there are some but hey!! is it fair? Well, others will just do it just to know gain experience and to have reference if somebody will hire them in the future.

It is indeed frustrating. It happened to me many times already that I applied for the job that I know I am qualified for that certain position because I have a degree while the work doesn't ask for any degree but I wasn't hired for the reason I am not sure what. Well, I know it is not good to question them why? but I did it. Well, sounds embarrassing to me, but hey!! I have to speak up.
They told me different reasons. The other said, I am over qualified for the job, some said we want to hire you in another position which is (very impossible to be created) and right then, I said to myself, if we have no connections, even if we are qualified, no body would hire us.

I am just wishing that someday they will be the one to ask me when they see that I can do things that others ( specially those they hired in place of me) can not do. Hey!! I know I have special skills that can benefit their organization. I know that what I have, others don't have. So someday, they will realize that they need my service. LOL JUST A WISH.

Home Security is a must wherever you live

Gone are the days when you can just leave your windows and doors open during hot summer days while you are doing something inside your house or maybe when you are at your back yard but now no more. We have to lock our doors all the time for our safety.

You can read in the news everyday about burglars breaking in houses and crimes are everywhere. I'm just glad that in the place where I am living now, the environment is safe but still I won't leave the door unlock specially if I am alone in the house. Hubby always tell me to lock the front and back doors and don't open the door to strangers. It is just funny because I won't open the door even to the Fed-ex or USPS people. Well, it's better to be safe than sorry.

I am thinking that in America, it is safer to live than in other countries because you can't hear about rebels and other bad elements knocking your doors asking for support. But I was mistaken because in big cities all forms of crimes and burglary are present everywhere. This is why it is always important to prevent the chance to become a victim. In our present economic situation, burglars and criminals are very smart to find their way and for this reason it would be helpful if there is security alarm in our homes so that we can be warned of possible dangers then immediate action can be done to arrest the culprit.

I would spend whatever the cost for security alarm so that I can be at peace knowing that my property and loved ones are protected whole year round.
