Reasons to be Healthy

Proper diet, regular exercise, stress-free environment, healthy food... the list goes on about having a healthy lifestyle. Here are Boiling Fry Cook's top reasons why to become healthy:

1. TO AVOID INJURY & DISEASE

Having a healthy lifestyle makes your body strong, thus the chances of  having illness because of weak body is lower. When you take good care of your body, it becomes more flexible, & the muscles & bones becomes stronger preventing the risks of illnesses associated with ageing.

2. TO HAVE MORE ENERGY

To be energetic means being active in your everyday living, & being active makes you feel literally younger & more alive. Not only does it feel good but if you have more energy, you can do more.

 3. TO LIVE LONGER & ENJOY OLD AGE

Try to see arriving at an old age as a privilege not everyone can have. If you could be able to dance in your old days, that would feel awesome, really. Your kids and grandkids, if any, will be happy to be with you, we know this when we were kids. Well not all but mostly.

4.  TO SAVE MONEY

Not only you save cash for spending for medicine, but the time & effort in doing so. Regular check ups are good, but try to prefer prevention as something better than cure.

5. TO LOOK & FEEL GOOD

If you start your move to being healthy, you will feel good right away. Feeling good about yourself starts from the inside, and eventually it will show on the outside after some time. You will notice more clothes fit you well, your confidence build up. And if it does, your personality begins to shine that when you enter a room, people may & will recognise your presence as if you are a superstar.

6.  TO DO WHAT YOU WANT or NEEDED TO DO

To be healthy physically means you are capable of doing just anything. It means better mobility, faster reaction, balance, endurance, increased mental capacity, better sex!

How to tell a scam online supplier

Contact the sales-person of the company and tell him/her about the problem.

 In a week, you will receive responses like :

"i have to ask my boss"

"i was on leave"

"i was on vacation"

"i will ask the manufacturing"

"my boss is on trip now"

"i will ask technicians"

"i was away from the company"

"i was sick"

That's normal. They do everything to buy them time or to make you feel annoying asking them for the same problem every day, or ... to make you forget it (if the amount is small)

Chinese companies are sending you 1,000 messages pressing you to pay them and 0-1 after payment.

If no reply at all, or if they are hiding from you more than 7 days, then ... the nightmare  now begins !

Send emails every day !!!

Don't give up, and ask for a CLEAR and FAST SOLUTION about your problem.

Don't accept solutions like :

... i will make a better price on your next order

or

... i will refund your money in the future.

If they are still hiding (no reply) announce to them that your company assumes that no reply for one week means a scam case 

How to verify Chinese Supplier

How to verify a Chinese Supplier from the internet

How to verify the Chinese company online?
1.Google

Search for CompanyName fraud scam on Google. 

Search also on Alibaba-forums

http://resources.alibaba.com

2. Alibaba.com

Check the address.
The company address can tell you if a supplier is a factory or a trading company. 99% of factories are located either in rural areas or in the development zone, so if their addresses have village, Town, Development Zone, these are all good signs. However, if it says building in the address only, then they are trading companies. 
http://www.yp.net.cn/schinese/

Check the phone number.
Check country and geographic codes. The first part means the country and the second part means the area-code. For example : 0086-755-99999999 , 0086 means China, 755 means Shenzhen.
Check here the phone-number http://www.numberingplans.com//?page=analysis&sub=phonenr 
Avoid companies providing ONLY mobile phones.
Numbers beginning with the prefix +4470 or +4487 are forwarding numbers that are rarely used by legitimate companies and not used by Chinese either
Pick up your phone and call the business phone and ask for the sales-person you are talking with (use very slow-clear-simple English) 
Some companies use same the phone number and fax number. I would suggest buyers stay away from them, as they are not even willing to set up 2 lines, one for telephone and one for fax. In extreme case, some “companies” only use mobile phone as contact information, no landline, no fax. In both cases, you often find the “companies” are not companies at all, but individuals. 

3. Check if they have a bank account.
Ask them, or look at the PI, if they have a bank account in case to make your payment via Bank.
Only legal companies can have a bank account.

4. Email address
A serious company uses their internal email boxes, belonging to their site.  
Check if the CompanyName is after the @ symbol. 
If the email address is like sales09@companyName.com then it is normal.
If they use free mailboxes like : Anny13@hotmail.com or companyName@gmail.com then you probably are talking with a very small company.

5. Whois search
If they have their own website , search some details for it :
www.dnsstuff.com
or any other domain-whois site. Most of times the owners details are masked. but you can be informed about geographical location at least.

6. Offshore / Shell Hong Kong Companies
 When you see Hong Kong companies on Alibaba, with contact information in Shenzhen or Guangdong province (the address is in Shenzhen and/or the phone number start with 0755, not 852) then be cautious.

The reason for people in southern China to set up companies in Hongkong mainly are: 1) Hongkong is tax heaven so many companies set up companies in Hongkong to avoid tax; 2) Hongkong have loose company registration regulation compared with mainland China so it is easy for many individual to set up a shell company there. The cost for setting up an offshore company in Hongkong is around RMB10000.

The danger for dealing with an offshore/shell company in Hongkong is that they don’t have a physical presence there in Hongkong, in that case, if any dispute arises from the transaction, you will have nobody/entity to make remedy against in Hongkong, meanwhile you are also not protected in mainland China as you are dealing with a company in Hongkong.
You can search for this company on http://www.icris.cr.gov.hk/csci/

• you (or your inspector or your Chinese friend) can visit them in their office or factory
• they have any ISO / CE / TUV / CSA / UL or other certificate to support their quality claims.
• they can send you a scan of company's business license Pretend that your boss needs this documents even for small orders.

Legal companies in China have to register with the Chinese government authorities and obtain a unique company registration number.

Life is not fair

Life is not fair. It never is, and never will be. It's just the way it is.
No matter how hard you try, even if you didn't try, you will always fall no matter how high you have reached or how far you've come or have become. It is all in a loop, in a circle that never ends.
When everything seems fine, something will come up; expect something will happen. The one that gives you joy will be your downfall, whatever it is that makes you happy.
You will be devastated, shattered and broken. You will eventually fall from grace.
Still tormented for the being that you are, you will still find courage in the midst of it all. This little courage is not strong enough to push through. But only so just to get by, just to survive, just to say that you're still alive but deep inside you are dying.
You are wondering when or where this nightmare will end. It doesn't end.
You begin to channel your attention to your non existent fantasy world where you are the hero who saves the damsel in distress. This fantasy world where life is fair; where life doesn't challenge you to your very extent & limitations; where life won't treat you so bad. Where suffering is only meant for the wicked, and joy is bestowed upon you on an ordinary day. where you can be happy for just a while.

(sigh) .......................thinking endlessly..........
deep breaths......

You feel sorry for yourself now... And you tell yourself that success is not measured by what you achieve but by how happy and contented you are with the life you chose to live. You begin to believe it doesn't exist. Back to the reality, the truth that always haunts you

Life is not fair. It never is, and never will be. It's just the way it is..
