Filipino Working Mom: The Most Convenient Business So Far!

These past few months, I'd been wondering how to raise my income and which business with a very low capital (not more than Php 5,000) without affecting my full-time home based job. But then I looked and looked over again for some small business ideas which turned out to very inconvenient for me. 

I was really about to give up, until one of my friends introduced SUCCESS200 to us. After hearing the marketing plan without any skepticism and doubts... I joined in. 

Why did I join? 

I'm a home based working mom with the salary of 15,000 a month, with a husband who earns 8,000 or less a month who goes in the emergency room once/twice year. I have a 3 year-old son who goes to school that costs 16,000.  I ended up in debt of my boss (who is really kind and generous) and not earning anything more. And I'm getting my salary in advanced. I realized, even if I work hard or minimize my expenses which is very very impossible to do for someone who has a family of her own. I can't sacrifice my son's education or needs, only because I want the best for him. 

When my friend introduced SUCCESS 200 to me, I didn't doubt it. I knew it right then that this is the perfect business opportunity for me... and I was right. I'd been in many networking companies before so I know how MLM works. You need to work hard to recruit more people who would join the company and to work for you. You may sell the products if you don't want to invite or refer people, but it won't give you a higher income unless you can sell bulk of products regularly, which I can never do due to my full-time job. 

What is SUCCESS 200? 

It's a company that sells food supplements. AGARICA (co-owner) the manufacturer of healthy products founded it in 2010 as a direct selling company. In a few years, their sales weren't constant, so in 2015 they decided to include networking in the business and made a partnership with our company that's now named as Success 200. 

How to join? 

All you have to do is to buy one bottle of any of their products for only Php 1,800 and you'll get an account on the networking board whether you like it or not.

Your name will be in Level 1 (bottom) of the table and your aim is to move up to Level 4 to be able to exit from the board and get Php 10,000!!! When you've successfully done it, you'll be placed into the 2nd Board which has the same system, but no more re-purchasing of the product or recruiting new members. All you have to do is to wait for the people to exit from board 1 for you to level up and exit from board 2 to get your Php 9,000! And it goes on to board 3, 4, and 5. Then go back to Board 2 that's why we call it UNLIMITED 9K. 

Do I need to invite a lot of people to exit? 

NO!!!

We don't push the members to invite and refer if they don't really have the potential to do so; however, for you to withdraw your Php 10,000 you need 1 direct referral only! If you still can't still get any referrals, then you have to re-purchase our membership and it'll be considered as your direct referral.

But I bet, when you reach level 3, you'll initiate to invite people so you can reach Level 4 as soon as possible. (Which happens to almost every member.)   

I'm busy!

I totally understand your situation. Full-time worker with kids and other personal stuffs going on. Then this is really the best opportunity for you. In my case, I just let my friend who invited me to transact all my referrals to the office instead of me. Which is totally fine with her. Many of Success 200 members focus on this business to the point of quitting their full-time jobs. They're the ones who send membership pays directly to the office, so that busy members won't need to go to the office anymore. Unlike in some other networking companies, you should be the one to go to the office to purchase or get your pay-out once you've exited. If you want a hassle free transactions, everything can be done online. But if you don't trust your up-lines well enough, you may directly come to the office to transact your membership.

I don't want to re-purchase. 

It's okay! We won't have any choice but to sell your account to someone else. You can get you Php 1,800 back. 

Why do you invite if it's not mandatory? 

We invite people to share how good the product is plus the stress-free business opportunity that awaits everybody. And also, if we invite more people, the table will move up quickly to give every member to exit as soon as possible. We help each other to move up. Even if we've already got the 10k we still help our downlines. Why? Because we won't be able to exit from the 2nd Board if the 1st board will stop moving. 

Is it 100% Legit??? 

Yes, it is! 

It's 100% Legit like other networking companies out there who are also legit. But we cannot stop the scam issues in networking business (what's new?) there's always a scam issue. If you want to earn more, you have to work hard, but in SUCCESS 200 if you want to earn more, then you have to wait if your don't want to work hard. Because other people will work for you to move up if you can't do it yourself. 

WE ARE NOT AN INVESTMENT COMPANY!

Past Life Regression: What did I get from it?

Yesterday, I got very curious of knowing what my Past Life was. I surfed the internet for methods to know about my past life, so I came across this video which I thought might be very helpful for me.

At first, I thought it was pretty scary, so I didn't want to do it alone. I waited until bedtime, so my husband will be on my side while I was listening to the audio. The first instruction the narrator said, was to find a quiet place to sit down and use headset for better understanding of the instructions. But I chose to lie down with three pillows under my nape so my head was tilted and it was very relaxing. I put on my earphones and started to listen to the instructions given. The music was quite creepy, maybe because I hate that type of music or probably it's my first time to meditate.

As I closed my eyes and listened, I imagined the things that the audio asked me to picture out. Unlike my dreams, the pictures in my head were still vague. I concentrated more as my body relaxed even more. It was a good feeling, suddenly. On the first place I imagined in my past life, the cloud took me into a very big continent, it was big. So I thought it might be in Asia. I don't exactly know the shape of the continent, but as I tried to think harder, it was not a continent, but a geographical structure of  a country. China. The cloud dropped me off in front of a big house... Kind of this one, but much smaller and only has one roof.

I was looking around the neighborhood, but seems like an empty space. I entered the house and found an altar like this (much longer). But I could only see an incense and some figurines that I didn't really see clearly.

The audio instructed me to find my bedroom, so I saw a door that's slightly open. I found a queen-sized bed like this one. Same color, but like I said it's still vague. 

 Then I looked for the calendar, the year was 1857 or 1587 I'm not so sure, but I saw these numbers. Tuesday in March. I found a mirror and looked at myself, (funny thing I saw a glimpse of Sadako in the mirror, I probably got distracted by the music.) I couldn't see my face well, but I think my hair and my dress are somehow like in this picture. But my hair was all pulled up. And the dress was plain red with black thick and long fabric on shoulder down to the end of the dress. 

The cloud took me to my work place. But it I couldn't sense that I was actually working there, it's more of a hobby place for me. It was a garden with a lake and a bridge. Under a tree, there's an easel. 

  

Then, I was brought back to my home where my parents were waiting for me. I saw two people and thought they were my parents. The man didn't look at me. He looked sad, though. My mother looked me in the eyes with such love and worry. Next stop, I was taken to the most tragic part of my life. I went to a dark room with 4 guards and the man that I saw as my father. A man was tied on the wall sitting and beaten up by the guards. The man looked at me and his eyes were very expressive. His hair was shoulder length and wavy. Then I was brought to the most wonderful event in my life. It was a hill with very green grasses and a cherry blossom tree. There is a small lake in front of a big rock under the tree. I saw a couple, the man was sing while lying on the lady's lap. Her back was leaning on the rock. They were eating a fruit. It was a red fruit. They both look very happy. Then, the male's face looked familiar. He was the one got beaten by the guards in back in the house. He was wearing this type of clothing and the lady was wearing a very simple plain pink dress (much simpler than the picture)   

My last stop was a reunion of the people close to me. In the gathering hall, all people were standing and looking at me, the people that I've seen familiar were my 3 best friends and my husband and my present mother. My present mother dressed like a concierge from a palace. My husband, same face looked like this, but in royal blue. 

Finally, the cloud brought me back to the very beginning and I opened my eyes. 

If anybody has tried past life regression, kindly let me know your experience. In my case, I do believe in reincarnation, because there are few documentaries that had proven that theory. Children in different countries had been documented for claiming that they were reincarnated. I am planning to do this again, maybe next time, I'll have more vivid pictures of my past life. 

The Best Affordable Getaway in Calatagan Batangas: Casa Astillero Beach Resort

A month ago, we were planning to go to the beach on May 24th 2014 Saturday. But a lot of problems that were getting in the way while we were planning out. I initiated to look for affordable beaches on the internet, although I knew for a fact that it would be difficult to find one. Summer season was the worst time for searching a spot to hang. Despite all the hindrances and fully booked venues, we managed to get a space at Casa Astillero Beach Resort. Me and 5 other friends went there and had a great and exciting  experience.

It's quite small, but they will be expanding in the future. For now, they really have a small space. Everything in the place should be reserved like,  activities, amenities, and foods. They allow foods and drinks inside with no corkage fee. You may cook at the resort too. They have a stove which everybody can use.

Here are the pictures of Casa Astillero Beach Resort.

Transportation Budget Breakdown:

From Pasay, Van to Calatagan - Php 180.00
Calatagan Tricycle to Casa Astillero Beach- Php 40.00 each. 
(Tricycle will ask you to pay 4 persons 40.00 each if only 1-3 people will ride. The maximum people in the tricycle is 4.)

Being Creative for My Niece's and Nephew's 7th Birthday

I just thought of blogging about posters that I made for my niece's and nephew's 7th birthday party this April and in May.  Although, I'm not so confident about my creations; I wish someone could at least tell me the truth regarding my designs. I use Adobe Photoshop
CS5. But, one thing's for sure, I am not an expert on the said program. It's more of a hobby to me. I have created a few invitation cards too that you may check on my Pinterest. Anyhow, here they are:

FROZEN THEME POSTER

BATMAN THEME INVITATION

I love making my own designs for family and friends. I feel more satisfied than asking or paying someone to make it. I could choose the photos to use and would definitely not rush the projects. I hope you'd like it!

Lunar New Year (Seollal): Lunch at Masil Korean Charcoal Grill Restaurant

Located at Home Depot in Julia Vargas Ortigas. Me and my co-teachers in Talk to Me English had a lunch date on the 30th of January 2014 (Thursday) and I would like to share some photos of us and the food.

photo by: Masil Charcoal Restaurant

 We ordered Masil Set 1 and you may click the photo to enlarge it, so you could see what's in this set. 

Here is the photo of us taken by one of the waiters.

Waitress grilling Galbi. She's quite accommodating.

The side dishes. They can be refilled once. So make sure to finish them so you could avail the free refill.

  

Here are the foods from Set 1

Galbi, started grilling.

Things we need for samgyeopsal.

Denjangchige, great for hangover and not great when eaten warm.

Galbi jim, one of our favorites, beef  with potato and sweet sauce. I highly recommend it.

All in all

I really loved the service here, it's quick and the crews are very accommodating, one of the best Korean Restaurants that I'd been to. The place is cozy and relaxing. The ambiance itself makes the food more appetizing. The price is a little expensive; however, it's worth it. I would gladly be back to try other cuisines on their menu. Looking forward to coming back for more of this in the future!

Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks Without Exercise

           It's really easy to gain weight, why? Because it's fun to eat luscious foods. On the other hand, losing weight is one of the most difficult goal in life. Before I give you the tips, I'd like to share my story. Before I got pregnant, I used to weigh 130 lbs. I know that I was quite over weight, but it wasn't hard for me to lose weight. I had a cesarean delivery with my baby. After a few months, I shed a little weight. 173 was the lightest I got. In two years, I weighed 175, 178, 180 to 185 lbs, that's the time when I thought, I had to do something about it. All diet methods didn't work for me, pills, exercise, dancing, calorie count and etc... I just kept on gaining weight. As a home-based working mom, I sit for long hours and work day till night, so I can't find time to exercise. If we're on the same both, these tips might help you. If it worked for me, it will probably work for you as well.

1. DISCIPLINE AND MOTIVATION

Why would you like to lose weight? In my case, I have a lovely little boy and a very handsome husband. I don't want others to think that I'm just a nanny when we go out for a family day. I have to look better. I also want to see my child grow up, finish school and have his own family in the future. Motivation and discipline are the keys to achieve any goals. Find the things that would keep you working hard and focus on that.



2. CHANGES AND ALTERNATIVES

You have to be ready for the changes and accept them. What are the things that I've changed? coffee to tea rice to corn potato chips to real potatoes unlimited beer to 3 bottles fried foods to grilled and roasted Ice cream to yogurt White bread to Whole wheat They are just a portion of foods that I've changed. Changing your eating habits will change everything. You will loose weight rapidly. You won't need to give up any meals. All you got to do is to find a healthier alternative. For instance, I used to eat 2pcs fried chicken in fast foods with rice, but now, I looked for fast foods that serve roasted or grilled chicken and order 1 pc. One of my favorites is Kenny Rogers Roasters. They serve a well balanced meal. I eat the side dishes first then the chicken. I just give the rice to my friend.

3. EATING HABITS

I used to eat as when I got hungry. I eat like every 3 hours a day. Which is by the way, we must follow. However, I used to eat high calorie foods like burgers or street foods. Now, I make sure to eat only fruits in snack time 1-2 bananas are enough. Do not starve yourself. It would make you crave for more food. Do not deprive yourself. Eat the things you like but in small portions. Have a cheat day, but do not over eat. Cheat day doesn't mean that you can eat a lot. It only means that you may eat the foods you like without over eating them. Don't get too excited on cheat days.

4. WATER AND TEA

Water is necessary for diet. It would make you full faster so you could eat less. Make sure to drink at least 1-2 glasses of water before meal time. Tea has a lot of anti- oxidants and it helps burn calories, especially green tea. Make sure to drink this 3 times a day an hour or two every after meals.

5. MYTH

Eating a full breakfast. No, no, no! Food intake should depend on the person's lifestyle. There are many things to consider before eating full meals. First, does your job require a lot of physical work? Or do you just sit in the office for 8 hours? You have to measure the food base on your daily activities. I am a home-based working mom, and I don't use a lot of energy, so I don't eat more than 1300 calories a day. The average calories that a person should take is upto 2000 calories but it still depends on your daily habits. '

6. LAXATIVE

Laxatives help me a lot. The best laxative that I've tried so far is, "Biguerlai". Laxatives are convenient and beneficial if you use them properly. Do not take laxatives everyday, it would make your body depend on it and you may get constipation when you don't take it anymore. The proper way to use them is to take them once every other day before bed time. I set a schedule like Monday-Wednesday-Friday and Sunday. When dieting, you eat less than your normal meals, this will make your bowl movement slower and sometimes not going to the toilet to release the excess foods that our body should excrete. Laxative helps us in that area.

7. VEGGIES

Although many people don't like veggies, they like salad. If you're one of those people, pick at least 3-4 veggies that you're capable of eating and include them on your regular meals. Weather you like it or not, veggies are the healthiest foods on Earth.

8. BE POSITIVE

A stress free person is the healthiest. Think about happiness and the things that enjoy you much. Dieting should include happy and positive thoughts. 9. COOK Cook for yourself. Don't let your mom or grandma ruin your diet. Cooking your own food gives you an assurance how healthy your food is. You have the control over the oil, spices and other ingredients. You know exactly what's in your food. What I do, I prepare my meals for 2 days and just re-heat when I need them.

Baby Modeling: My Baby's First Exposure!

Last night (May 28th 2013), I got a call from the talent and modeling agency. They asked me to go to a commercial shoot for Mitsubishi Mirage. It was in Antipolo City and I'm from Taytay, Rizal. So, I grabbed the opportunity. Here are some of the pictures with the staff and models. 

  

 Cleon's role was a Fall Back (when the lead didn't perform well, he will be the replacement) anyhow, he would get the talent fee even if he won't participate. The lead did great from the beginning, so the producer informed ud, that we could leave. On our way to Antipolo Bayan, they called us to go back, because the director needs to shoot Cleon. I wouldn't say it was unfortunate for him not to get the lead role and just shot his body and hands on the steering wheel, I'm still very thankful that he had a participation and we met great people on the set.
