More research on Vending Machine Business


I have blogged 2 days ago about my desire to start a vending business. Why I prefer this business? Because I believe that these days almost anything can be sold through a vending machine like Soft-drinks in can, gum, candies, hot or cold coffee, tetra packed juice, cigarettes, toiletries. In the U.S. even hot dogs and pizzas are sold through a vending machine. Most of the bigger cities in the country have this ATM , not Automatic Teller Machine but Automatic "Tubig" ( water) Machine. With your P1 , you can quench your thirst through this ATM. Isn't it great!

Also, it’s one business which is you are the boss . You decide on which vending machine to buy, where to place and what to sell. It has no overhead cost like manpower, water or electricity. It is a legitimate businesses that require you to put in very little time and effort. All you need are the vending machines , the products and the strategic place to put up the machine.


I visited Planet Antares Scam, a site that helps interested investor not to get scammed in the vending business. Planet Antares is site is full of helpful tips and news to make you aware of what to look out for in the vending machine business. I goggled more information regarding the business and thank God I was redirected to VENDIscuss forum site . I spent hours reading through the posts from members representing 20 different countries in the whole world. The site will offer full length vending ebooks and other tools such as cost projection spread sheets and income statements. It’s a vending community where vital information on how to succeed in the business are shared. I have lots of questions in my mind as I read their posts. I hope to visit their Vending Chat room one of these days. For now, I will concentrate more on looking for strategic areas where to put up the vending machines.

Calling Entertainment Regulatory Board -Electronic Casino is already in CDO


The recently concluded Kagay-an Festival was a successful one. Congratulations to the City Government of Cagayan de Oro, the Kagay-an Festival Organizers , the NGO’s and the business sectors for making the one week celebration a peaceful, orderly and memorable to all.

I have witnessed last week the first “HAT” ( Kalo ) parade and contest . Wow! I enjoyed watching those girls, gays and guys parading their hand crafted hats . Some made from recycled and indigenous materials. Sad to say that I was not able to see the Golden Float Parade showcasing the winners of the Miss Cagayan Beauty Pageant. We sleep late the night before thus we were not able to wake up early to watch the parade. Anyway, thanks to the local TV network for streaming it live .



There were various fun activities in the city. The two largest TV Networks in the country stage also live entertainment showcasing their networks stars. There were various sports ( shooting, motorcross, adminton, marathon and basketball ) , Dance ( Folkloric, Hip-hop and ballet ) and singing competitions. Our city is famous for it’s white river rafting . A friend told me that their were various fun activities at the river and at Macahambus cave.

The biggest attraction we had was the Carnival at Lim Ket Kai Mall. At first, I snubbed it thinking that it was the same carnival as last year but when we arrived at the place, I was impressed. Why? Because their rides were the same as that in Star City Manila. They have roller coater, Ferris Wheel and “Anchor is away”. Their were also magic shows that delighted children and young adults. Even the best online casino games were played during the city fiesta. We went to Ice Castle in Rosario Arcade, Lim Ket Kai Mall to taste their famous Banana Split, we have a hard time looking for parking space since people were crowding at the adjacent establishment . I was surprise to see an Electronic Casino Café … I asked the guard why people were rushing inside and he said that it’s the schedule of the best online casino games. I peeped through the glass and I saw people playing the best online casino games and other slots machine inside. I wondered if the City’s Entertainment Regulatory Board is already aware of this best online casino games. They should check this out since I saw some minors inside the establishment.

Business Card for CCMN Taipe


Registration for Cell Church Mission Network Youth Congress 2010 is already open! My hubby and I are very much excited to attend the gathering of almost 500 delegates from 25 countries aroundthe world. This time it will be held in Taipe, Taiwan on November 6- 15,2010. My hubby is planning to let his core group attend the conference too!

As early as now, we are planning to prepare everything like the online registration, airfare ticket , LCD Presentation and other personal stuff. I guess spiritual business cards will be necessary because the last time my hubby attended the gathering, some of the delegates asked for it. CCMN encourages participants to make friends, form accountability groups, create a network with the other delegates and partnership in mission.

I better go now and start searching online for business card templates and designs. I have tried businessCards24.com before, I hope the price is still the same $9.95 for 500 pcs full color business cards. Can you suggest other site offering cheaper price?

Hassle-free Business!


A friend who is successful businessman once told us that nobody will get wealthy or rich by being an employer for the rest of his life… unless of course if the person will engage into some “monkey business” or corruption . There are countless of books and videos on how to be successful financially. If you goggle the topic you will be redirected to hundred thousands of links. Who doesn’t want to be rich anyway!


The best way to get financial stability is to engage into business. Money begets money… what if I do not have enough finances to start a business? Then search online for business that doesn’t require big amount of investment. How about a vending machine? I recently visited Planet Antares, a vending machiine information website and found out some Business Tips on how lucrative a vending machine business is. It is a legitimate businesses that require you to put in very little time and effort. No overhead and contingency cost to pay. You are the Boss. You will be the one who decides on which vending machine to buy. You will be the one who decides as to where the vending machine will be placed. You will decide as to what your vending machine will sell.


Although the business is not as profitable as other business but for sure, it’s one that never go into a loss. Today almost anything can be sold through a vending machine like Soft-drink cans, gum, candies, hot coffee, cold coffee, cigarettes, toiletries and even hot-dogs and pizzas. I have been to a holiday ar Boracay Beach Resort and I was amazed finding vending machines along the strips of the shores and at the Malls. Look around you vending machines are all-over … in hospitals, schools, gymnasiums and parks.


I hope I can find a local distributor here in our city. I have many place in mind like the International School where my mother-in-law is the principal, a public High School where my mom teaches before ,our city sports center, our divisoria parks , our public market. As I am writing this post my mind is wandering wild on where to install the vending machines. What do you think fellow bloggers in CDO? Is this feasible?

Online Slots in Lim Ket Kai



Thank God for the Holiday! Last Friday started the Kagay- an Festival or the Cagayan de Oro City Fiesta Celebration. It was celebrated with major activities such as the Festival Run and Kalo Parade, Kahimunan Regional Trade Fair, Folkloric and PE Rhythmic Dance Competition, Halad sa Lambagohan Golden Mile Fluvial Show, Golden Float Competition and the Cagayan de Oro Beauty Pageant. Various sports, beauty, sing and dance competition and even bingo and online slots were done in barangays. The two largest TV Networks in the country stage also a live entertainment showcasing their networks stars. You can truly feel the festivity in every street corners... as they are crowded with people and vehicles.

The blogger in me can not stop taking pictures, the following are just samples of my photo shots.




Last night we went to the biggest mall in the city. It was only then that I have learned that their is already an electronic casino in Lim ket Kai Mall ( it is beside Ice Castle) . My hubby was curious and we went inside. We saw lots of computers and people were playing online slots. The place looks like an internet cafe , the difference is that instead of playing online games or surfing the net, the people their are playing online slots or online casino games. I was tempted to ask the in-charge how the online slots computers work but the place was crowded and so noisy that my hubby stopped me. Thank God there were no minors inside the establishment. A big notice outside the door was posted prohibiting 18 yrs. old below to enter their premises.

Last week I saw also a Bingo Boutique at Cruz Taal Street. A group of young professionals where ushered by a security guard as they went in.. Once again, I am curious what’s inside the establishment . Are they using the conventional Bingo Card ? Or it is digital this time. I guess the city is already flooded with these game of luck. I hope this will be properly regulated with the Games and Amusement regulatory board of the City. Minors and students should be strictly allowed in this place. Five years ago, the City’s problem was the sprouting of the Internet Cafe which promoted pornography . Thank God, it was stopped. I hope and pray these establishment will not bring problem again to the community. What do you think of this?

Air-condition or Electric Fans?

" Can our Air conditioning units sustain the 600 people who will be attending our church’s 24th Anniversary thanksgiving celebration ?" This was the concern raised by the logistic and physical arrangement committee. We have 4 existing 6 tonnage air-condition in the church and I guess these are enough considering that the celebration will start thee o’clock in the afternoon.

Anyway, I have started gathering quotations from various suppliers in case the committee will decide to purchase one unit. Whew! The price is really big. As for me, I’ll go for buying 4 units of electric fans instead of buying new air condition unit.

Do I look Rich and Wealthy?

Two weeks ago I went to the bank to deposit a small amount of money on my bank account. While waiting for my number to be called , the bank manager approached me and offered a car loan. He then, called the Honda Dealers to discuss the terms with me. I was amused with the scenario and just told them to set another appointment since my hubby was not with me.

In another bank, twomonths ago, the manager offered a pre-approved credit card for me . The credit limit was so big that I was afraid to accept it.

I dress simply and do not wear extravagant jewelries. Why am I offered these things? Am I going to be a millionaire someday? What do you think?

No Proper Accounting = Bankruptcy


Proper Accounting and Inventory is essential in each business, whether it’s a multi-national corporations or just a simple personal direct selling business. I worked before in the biggest construction company in our region for almost 6 years and I have witnessed its bankruptcy . Their biggest mistake was their was no proper accounting of assets and liabilities. Because it was a family business, they were very lenient with regards to expenses . They have no Asset Labels on their construction equipments, tools and fixtures. Worst! Their was no inventory at year end.

It was too late that they realized that they were already buried with loans and that their assets could no longer compensate with their liabilities

How's your Car this Rainy Season?


Rainy Season is here to stay for long… I guess this will last until the end of the month of February next year. Wow! Rainy season here in our place is quite that long and we have to bear the occasional flooding of streets due to heavy downpour that may last as much as an hour or two. Since we have to get our kids from school in the afternoon, we oftentimes experience the headache of heavy traffic plus the heavy rain. Passing through the main road then to their school, we would go through a lower portion of the road that’s always flooded. It really worries me sometimes knowing that it would affect the car’s engine if I’m not careful.

One thing that I’m concerned too is our exhaust system that may be affected due to prolonged exposure to flood waters. Taking care of our ride is one thing that my hubby does not overlook. He always have our car undergo regular check up, talk to mechanics with exhaust tips to maintain its peak performance. Yes, even if the rain is here, proper maintenance, check up and friendliness always go a long, long way for our car. How about you? How are you going to prepare your car for the rainy season?

What's the Best Plasma TV?


What do you think is the Best Plasma TV? Samsung, Sony, Panasonic or LG? For me Sony are top of the range but their models are quite pricey. I saw one a brand new model at our local mall and guess what? The price is equivalent to two LG of the same size.

How about you? Which do you prefer?

He Who Began a Good Work in You!


It's 2 am, August 21,2010... I am searching for a Mañanita song today for our beloved Bishop when I came across this song which I believe a perfect birthday song for someone who have been serving the Lord almost 3 decades now.


HE WHO BEGAN A GOOD WORK
by :Steve Green

He who began a good work in you
He who began a good work in you
Will be faithful to complete it
He'll be faithful to complete it
He who started a work
Will be faithful to complete it in you

If the struggle you're facing
Is slowly replacing your hope
With despair
Or the process is long
And you're losing your song
In the night
You can be sure that the Lord
Has His hand on you
Safe and secure
He will never abandon you
You are His treasure
And He finds His pleasure in you

He who began a good work in you
He who began a good work in you
Will be faithful to complete it
He'll be faithful to complete it
He who started the work
Will be faithful to complete it in you


HAPPY BIRTHDAY BISHOP BONG UDANG!
We love you!

Weight Loss Speedaholism!


Rushing is human nature and with the technology advancement of our society today it has become an epedemic. The hurried syndrome or ASAP is taking over our our society today. A study from insurance companies show that 92 percent of accidents that occur in the road and in the workplace were results from a hurried attitude or rush.

Everything is in a hurry – a hurried courtship and marriage. We are always racing against that clock that we are trying to hurry up relationships . You find people claiming to have 3,000 friends on facebook and twitter .. the idea friendship is devalued. A Hurried work will results to lots of mistakes ( ex. Me... hurrying my blog articles without proof reading results to numerous errors.)

Don’t you know that a hurried meal is the no. 1 cause of ingestion? Fastfood... Microwave…Instant meals .. based on studies are one of the culprits that cause cancer and other fatal diseases. Even weight loss diets … are done in a hurry. Take time to slow down and enjoy life. Remember Adam Sandler in the movie Click? He was a workaholic man... always on the go. He was obsessed with the destination and thereby lost the art of enjoying the journey.

Wishing for a DLSR Camera!


In preparation to the coming Cell Church Mission Network Youth Congress to be held in Taiwan this November, my hubby and I are saving money for our desired DSLR Camera. I have read various camera reviews online but to be honest I have been puzzled what particular brand of camcorder to choose. I love my GE Digicam but its features like any other compact digital camera are limited. Hubby and I desired a Nikon 300 but it is a little bit expensive.. any other suggestion?

Getting Ready for College Admission Test


Preparing for college entrance exam is not easy.You have to be mentally ,physically and emotional ready. I remember the time I was getting ready for my scholarship exam in college – it was very difficult. I was the youngest among 5 siblings and all my brothers were still in college. We are financially hard-up that my parents could not buy me review materials. I went from one library to another to review .... and went from one friend to another to borrow resource materials. For two weeks, I burned candles till dawn just to make sure I was able to study all the scope of the exam.

Yes! All my hard work paid – off. I was able to pass the scholarship exam at Mindanao State University and Xavier University. I went to MSU because I was accepted as a Full Academic Scholar with allowance for Board and Lodging. I greatly thank God for the knowledge and Wisdom and for the support from my family, I graduated my Bachelor Degree with flying colors.

So to all who are preparing for the CAT 2011 Entrance Exam.... give your best shot! Be prepared for the great challenge ahead!

Looking for No Medical Exam Life Insurance

My mother –in-law immediately applied for it considering that the age coverage of the Life Insurance was up to 65 years old.

Imelda Marcos : Her love affair with Shoes



Have you heard of our ex-first lady Imelda Marcos having more than 3500 pairs of shoes? Above is the picture shown to the public after the Cory Aquino’s administration audited the Marcoses’ quarter in Malacang Palace in 1986. Wow! It’s a perfect example of women's addiction to shoes.

No question! Women love SHOES. Rarely do we find a woman overlooking the show window of a shoe store, especially when there is sale going on. Like today, it’s the mall-wide sale in Shoe Mart Cagayan de Oro City. The mall is jam packed with women rushing in and out the stalls carrying boxes of shoes. Why we love shoes? Because our fashion statement remains incomplete without the perfect pair of shoes.

Me? I have a variety of shoes, from different colors and styles. From flat shoes, high heels, close and open-toes. From working shoes to formal shoes.Thanks to my sister in California who never misses to sent pairs of shoes every Christmas and thanks to my hubby’s consideration every time I am in the mood of buying pairs of shoes.

How about you? How’s your love affair with shoes? How many pairs do you have? I have just counted mine .. I have existing 22 pairs ( after I sold some in our garage sale last summer!).
