Good afternoon! Everybody, I want you to close your eyes now. Palms up. Now imagine yourself holding a lemon. Now slowly squeeze it really hard. Imagine yourself squeezing a lemon. What dyou get? Slimy hands.. Pulps.. And of course the lemon juice! Ok thank you. Now let me ask you a question. What comes to your mind when we say squeeze? Webster defined it as - to press hard on or together; compress. And this time we’re going to talk about squeezing… Squeezing to get more out of everything.

So I will share to you guys 4simple ways. These are just simple things toremember but very useful so lend me your ears for a few minutes. So first, you can squeeze more toothpaste out of a tube. I know we’ve probably all been here before right? Do you know that what seems like an empty tube may still hold up to 13 percent of its contents. To get to the rest, run the tube under hot water for a minute or two. It will soften, enabling you to roll it up tighter to get a few more brushfuls. Then use scissors to cut one side of the tube open lengthwise so you can rub your brush around inside. Easy, isnt?

Second, you can squeeze more clothes into a closet. Who here loves shopping? Clothes? Then you may also have troubles like where will I put my new prada, how will this penshoppe fit here now? There’s no space for my new Louis vuitton? OMG. Haha. But don’t worry.. The key is a technique called double hanging. Remove the rod that’s currently in your closet. It’s typically installed about 60 inches from the floor. Reinstall it at 84 inches. Then attach a second rod at 42 inches. Pants and skirts go on top; shirts and blouses, down below. Also, use special skinny hangers. They can further increase your closet’s capacity. But of course, still, the best way to squeeze more clothes into your closet is to just neatly fold your dailywears, sleepwears, and underwears and organize them accordingly.

Third. I want to let you know that… you can squeeze more refreshment out of a nap. The major thing is to lie flat when you nap. Being propped up—when trying to nap in a comfy chair—prevents you from slipping into the deepest, most restorative stages of sleep because you’re on subconscious guard against falling over. Another lesson is to catnap. Instead of squeezing in one long nap, take two or three short ones; you’ll wake up less groggy. Catnaps are particularly useful during stressful times like exam week when you’re not getting enough rest at night.

So we’ve talk about toothpaste, and closet and sleep. Now for our last one let’s talk about cellphones. When you’re really in an emergency but your battery runs low, don’t panic! You can still power up your cellphone and squeeze more battery out of a dying cell phone battery. Basically, here’s what you can do: Switch to Airplane Mode. Keep it warm. Trivia! Dyou know that cold batteries drain faster. So keep your phone in the warm. Try putting it under your armpits. Hahaha. There’s less chance of losing it there too.
Now, I’ve surveyed some UP students, on what they do when they’re phone’s battery is dying and they need to prolong it’s life.
Switch the phone to silent profile and vibrate function off. The vibrate function uses additional battery power.
Turn the brightness of the display to the lowest setting possible.
Avoid using unnecessary features. If you know it will be a while before your phone’s next charge, don’t use the camera or connect to the Internet. Flash photography can drain your battery especially quickly. Turn off blutooth, wifi, gprs, and infrared capabilities of your cellphone. These will drain your battery very quickly.

Soooo those are the four ways. Dyou remember them? Here… Squeeze more toothpaste out of a tube, more clothes into a closet, more refreshment out of a nap and more power out of a cellphone’s battery. Thereee.
Now I want you to remember this: sometimes we may feel that there’s nothing more left out of anything… But as the old adage goes: When life throws you lemons, make lemonades. Just be optimistic! Keep calm and simply.. squeeeze!
