Candle Making Business (Mold type)

Candle is not anymore a seasonal business. You could find a variety of design and scent in different stores. Candles are now shaped as cartoon characters, buildings etc. Most candles today that we could find in department store are purely for decorative purpose and some are for aroma theraphy. Here is a simple article about candle making.

Things you need:

(Most are available in Divisoria)

Paraffin wax

Vegetable oil spry / separating medium / releasing agent

Two pan, one small, one big for water bath

Wick

Candle Mold

Measuring cup / beaker

Weighing scale

Laboratory thermometer

Mold sealer / clay

Basic Candle Making

  1. Prepare the water bath. Put water in the larger pan and put the smaller pan inside then heat it. The water should cover half the area of the submerged smaller pot.
  2. Prepare the amount of wax you need. To know the amount of wax you need, put water in the mold. Then, transfer it to a measuring cup / beaker. For every 3.5 ounces of water you need 3 ounces of wax. 1 pound of wax is equivalent to 19-20 ounces of wax. Clean the mold.
  3. Once you have determined the amount chip it into small pieces so it will melt easily. Be sure to add a little extra of wax (5-10%)
  4. Melt the wax. Be sure that you know the melting point of the wax and flashpoint.

Flashpoint is the temperature on which it would be combustible. You can look at the packaging for the flashpoint and melting point. Use the thermometer to monitor the temperature. Continue reading “Candle Making Business (Mold type)”

Ms. Janina San Miguel – Bb. Pilipinas winner

[youtube cvI0rPDV5XY]

Well, many are condemning her because of her wrong grammar/ wrong english but the question is – is correct grammar / good english a must for a beauty pageant? She joined a beauty pageant not a grammar contest. Although, in beauty contest you need brains but it doesn’t equate that if you have poor grammar you are already “bobo” .

I posted this topic in the social issue because this is a social problem. We look at people who could speak fluently in english so high and mighty! Guest, what! It is a possibility that it is the only area that person is good at. It show how colonial mentality we are.

Personally, i cannot connect her answer to the question but maybe the judges have seen the true beauty and intelligence of Ms. Janina San Miguel.


Naruto Shippuuden Video

Naruto Shippuuden is the continuation of the TV series Naruto.The story is 2 1/2-3 years after the last Naruto TV series. They are older and slightly more mature now. But still the main goal of Naruto is the same, to save Sasuke / Saske from Orochimaru. The story also focuses on the Akatsuki, a group of ninja who want to use the power of the Kyuubi (tailed demon). Naruto is a Jinchuurki (person that have a kyuubi sealed in their body) because of this the Akatsuki is after him.

Merck to pay $650 Million Dollar as settlement.

Merck will pay the US government the sum of $650 million dollar as a settlement for allegedly failing to pay proper rebates for Medicaid and giving medical providers illegal remuneration to promote their product.

Gee, i hope this is applicable here in the Philippines. Although there is a generic law and also there is a proposed cheaper medical bill, this bill does not have enough teeth to outlaw the practice of Pharmaceutical company to give incentives to medical practitioner’s who promotes their product not base on the effectiveness but on the rebates he/she earns. I’m not saying that they are all like this but there are some who do this.
