Is There a Blockbuster Tomorrow for Tomorrowland?

"You've got simultaneous epidemics of obesity and starvation, explain that one. Bees butterflies start to disappear, the glaciers melt, the algae blooms. All around you the coal mine canaries are dropping dead and you won't take the hint! In every moment there's a possibility of a better future, but you people won't believe it. And because you won't believe it you won't do what is necessary to make it a reality." - Nix of Tomorrowland

What exactly are we doing to better our future? Are we still inspired and hopeful of a paradise-like tomorrow, or have we fallen into accepting our doomed fate of a polluted, crime-infested, politically-aggravated and trampled upon future where only the strongest survives?

Tomorrowland, a Disney movie based on one of the theme parks in Disneyland, gives us a glimpse of a probable future, but also gives us hope of changing it. Just like how the Terminators travelled back in time to change the future. The robotic beings of Tomorrowland are sent back to put the future in its rightful place. By enticing some of the humans that still aspires of a better future to continue with their dreams and put them into reality.

The New York Times says it's a Box Office disappointment saying "“Tomorrowland” is a major misfire for Disney’s live-action movie division, which, with films like “Maleficent” and “Cinderella,” had finally managed to move beyond flops like “The Lone Ranger.” Lackluster “Tomorrowland” ticket sales came despite an aggressive two-year marketing campaign that included a Super Bowl commercial, trailers on “The Avengers: Age of Ultron” and exhibitions at Disney theme parks."

Global Eco-Link Development Corporation: Now Open for Business Partnerships

Wazzup Pilipinas!

There is no denying that businesses are booming as we see a lot of businesses investing in the Philippines as well as entrepreneurs that are all daring to join the challenging world of running their own businesses as opposed to working as an employee. Though there is greater assurance with a monthly paycheck, I guess no one ever became rich unless they become their own bosses. The secret to success has always been running your own businesses eventhough there are some that fail in the beginning. The winners would always be the ones who stood up after their fall.

Joining the bandwagon of visionaries is the owner of a newly constructed seven (7) storey modern design building located at the heart of Sto. Domingo, Sto. Rosario street near the corner of McArthur Highway of Angeles City, Pampanga. It currently has a resto bar and an al fresco dining and function area called Alta Pampanga Resto Bar and Café at its multi-purpose roofdeck, but the rest of the building is open for rent or lease to whoever wishes to establish their offices in its more than 1,200 square meters of commercial spaces.

The owner toured us around the building, called Global Eco-Link Development Corporation, or GELDC for short, so we can have an idea of the many possibilities that awaits for those interested to do business in Angeles, Pampanga. The building aims to provide world-class business offices/ commercial spaces and urban development to partners and entrepreneurs. coupled with the most affordable rates and the best deals. In an effort to uphold the quality of life of every business entrepreneur, it offers partnership opportunities for even small-scale businesses and local-based industries.
