1. Stay hydrated! The best way to keep cool is to keep a cold drink on hand. Iced tea is a classic summertime drink. Lemonade is also very cooling. Avoid extra-sugary soft drinks. The sugar and caffeine will just make you thirstier and fills you with empty calories. Try Crystal Light on-the-go in a water-bottle if you want some extra flavor.
2. Change your air-conditioning filters once a month. I know, it's a pain, but keeping your AC free from dust, animal fur and other blockages will let it run at optimum efficiency. This will save you money on your electric bill, and keep you cool! Have the AC in your car tuned up as well. This service is available at most local service stations.
3. Dress for the summer sun! Wear light clothing, and try to keep the layers to a minimum. If shorts are unacceptable at the office, try capris. That added bit of exposed skin can really make a difference. If you're a suit-wearer, get a suit that is made in "tropical weight." The tailor will know what this means.
4. Still sweating? Try some tiger-balm! This herbal, mentholyptus-based salve is great for sore muscles, but it also provides a cooling sensation to your skin. Apply a small amount to your skin before slathering it on. Sensitive skin may find it a little too strong. Spray-fans are also popular. These battery-operated fans are affixed to a spray bottle that you fill with water. You can mist your face and neck, and feel a great breeze.
common misconception about job interview technique is that it is somehow freestanding, set apart from experience and knowledge. It’s almost as if job applicants have a fantasy image becoming like the con artist played by Leonardo DiCaprio in “Catch Me If You Can” who was able to walk into a job interview and land positions far above his qualifications. Unfortunately, job interview technique does not work like that. Sure there are aspects of delivery and confidence and charisma that come into place, but they are more like the final coat of paint on the automobile than they are the car itself. At the end of the day, the best interviews will be given by those who know the field, the company and the job best, and who have a solid history of success in that job.
As a result, the best way to improve your job interview technique is to learn as much as you can about the job, the target company and specifically what the company is looking for. Once you know what they are looking for, then your goal should be to make sure that you portray yourself as just that. If you are applying for a job that is more or less similar to the current job you have, then you are lucky. You only need to talk about your current experiences and successes. If you are looking to make a career change, or move forward in your career, you will necessarily be talking about experiences and accomplishments that you may not have. In those cases, you need to look into your background and find similar or analogous experiences and results.
More Job Interview Technique Secrets
Your job interview technique will be to convince the interviewer that your results directly mirror the results that he or she wants from the successful job candidate. This is by no means an impossible sale, but it does require a bit more effort than simply describing achieving those exact results. Luckily for you, many of the experiences and results that companies seek can be gained in many different businesses. Many companies look for someone who can deal with the public, who can sell, who can work with detail, who can take leadership, who can research, communicate, write, and so on and so on. As long as you speak about those results, you should be able to convince the interviewer that you have some valuable skills.
The last part of your job interview technique is to make sure that every other aspect of your job interview is spot on perfect. If your experience is a bit off, you can’t afford to lose points anywhere else. Show up on time, wear appropriate clothing, smile a lot, let the interviewer lead the conversation initially, tell your answers in complete sentences and stories with a beginning, middle and end. After the interview, be sure to get a business card from the person you spoke to. Write a thank you note or letter as soon as you return home and hope for the best.

The province of Romblon is made up of twenty beautiful islands which have been likened to the Mediterranean islands. The island of Romblon is the Philippines’ main source of marble, thus earning the moniker “Marble Country”. However, there’s more to Romblon than marble. Mt. Guiting-guiting on Sibuyan Island with a height of 2,058 meters is considered a challenge to mountain climbers, for example. Romblon also has crystal-clear rivers and waterfalls, and beautiful, as yet unspoiled beaches.

Hamiguitan, “Tinagong Dagat” (HiddenSea), plesiosaur-shaped “DinosaurIsland”, Cape San Agustin where legend has it St. Francis Xavier celebrated his first mass, and beautiful waterfalls and beaches.

After admiring the natural sceneries and venturing into the caves, visitors might also attend the healing festivals or watch locals perform feats that boggle the mind.
Catanduanes
The island of Catanduanes in the Bicol Region is in the Pacific Ocean, and is still virtually untouched by tourists, making it a great vacation getaway for those who want to relax for a while from the rat race. Puraran Beach in the town of Baras on this island is the site of the so-called “Majestic” waves prized by surfers. The island also has as-yet-unspoiled white beaches all along its coastline, as well as diving spots for snorkelers and scuba enthusiasts, and cascading waterfalls farther inland.

Quezon, is a place caught between the mountains and the sea: the Pacific Ocean on the east, and the Sierra Madre Mountains on the west. Remote and isolated from the metropolis, its beauties remain unspoiled, waiting to be discovered. SabangBeach waves are good for surfing, while nearby islets are great for snorkeling.
