We have been in business for five solid years! Hoooray! But to be honest, it’s not that easy achieving this…
I have been using my car for almost five years now and it breaks my heart when a sudden car feature malfunction occurs. I was so sad when I learned that my lighter socket didn’t worked when I tried to put the cellphone mobile charger in it. Last Christmas, my sister gave me a car kit. This includes a car ashtray and a car cellphone charger. I always complain that I can’t charge in my car because it has no USB port install in it but I never thought of buying one which can be inserted in the car lighter socket. lol. Until now, I’m still not sure why I didn’t buy one for myself which is very unlikely. I always find a solution when a problem arises but this time, for being a cheapskate is the reason why I didn’t buy one for myself.
Five years ago, we have decided to put up a small food cart business. We were just trying it out with our extra money from our monthly salary from our full time jobs. Little did we know, its not that simple to run a business no matter how big or small it is. What a simple food cart business from the product of our experimentation and gamble turned out to be a stable cash cow that provides us monthly income. But before we get to this stage, we encountered lots of challenges and problems any small neighborhood business owner could ever imagine. Here’s our story.
I am a thirty year old corporate slave working 40 hours a week. With a more than decent and regular monthly salary from a reputable company, I managed to set aside portion of it for a long time. It’s been 10 years of working and saving and the last time I checked, my savings are already in six digits. Looking at the monthly interest earned given by my bank, I was a little bit of disappointed. My bank offers a very, very low 1.5% per annum (gross of withholding taxes) which is unacceptable for me. My husband convinced me to venture in a small business where I can put my idle money sleeping at my bank account. To cut the story short, we gambled our money in a small business.
This is an incredible story about how I got to removed the “Encumbered” status from my Car’s Certificate of Registration (CR). After four (4) long years, finally, I paid my car loan to its last single cent. Imagine the happiness that I’m feeling right now while I’m writing this article?

I really love doing out of towns especially during weekends. Though I’m not much of a backpack traveler, I still loved it. And since I loved travelling, I was assigned the task to look for a venue for our quarterly team building. The event will take place in one of the private resorts in Pansol Laguna. After one hour drive from Makati, finally, we’ve arrived at the heart of Pansol, Laguna where resorts are scattered everywhere. Looking for a Resort in Pansol Laguna is a little hard especially if it’s your first time to this kind of task. We spent three hours looking for a nice resort in Pansol Laguna considering our budget. We left Pansol Laguna at around 5.30PM and I was speeding away to get my hands to my laptop to write what we’ve learned while looking for a resort in Pansol Laguna.
