Old Vespa scooters transformed into sleek swivel chairs

Nothing spices up a boring meeting in a conference room like sitting on this beautiful chair by Barcelona design firm Bel & Bel. Called the Scooter Chair, the furniture is crafted out of recycled '80s Vespas. Every numbered piece includes a certificate of authenticity and comes with a reclining feature, functioning taillights, and a hydraulic piston that lets you adjust the height.

More than 200 of these limited edition chairs have been sold worldwide, and if you're interested in getting one, prepare your wallets because they're really expensive. Virgin Hotel has its own model priced at $22K.

I wanted to be a pilot, or a shipmaster, like Captain Nemo. And then in my second year of college, I decided I wanted to be in public relations. After graduation, I applied to seven PR firms in Manila and got seven rejection emails. The job seemed perfect. The interviews went smooth. I was optimistic. But, they hired someone else. Being rejected after a job application can seriously break your self confidence and morale. I was devastated when I got turned down too many times, and I became depressed, angry and quite difficult to live with. However, I realized that wallowing in misery and regret will never help. So I took a step back, analyzed my job search strategy and determined my flaws. Have you been rejected recently? Cheer up! Just because someone says no today doesn't mean it'...
