Drummin' The Day

He wouldn't take off his glowing mask lol

Bumi is playing the drum to some unfamiliar song. Nice song, maybe titled Serendipity. I'll look it up on 4shared later. Not too fast, just the right rhytm for Bumi practicing his 123 beat. He insisted on using his spidey mask btw.

Young Enterpreneurs: The Beginning

While I was browsing just now, researching for ideas to encourage my youngsters' enterpreneurship, I found this one article about 4 persons who started their businesses early in their lives. One particular person is only a kid of eight when she started her own hair product. Najeela is eight this year on August. And that's why this article in BBC News interests me. I can tell that my girl loves selling stuff and especially loves getting money out of it. Even at 5 in kindergarten she would offer her teachers products from my Oriflame Catalogue. It always amuses me how she seems to be really impatient of my reservation about my way of doing business. She would say, "Do you quit your Oriflame?" or "Are you still selling Oriflame" if I don't give her catalogues to be shown off.

So what does that show me. It's not impossible for them, the kids, to have a will, or dream of getting money from selling stuff they want to sell. It's not like the 90s anymore where all you can think of is that once you get that higher education, you'd be engineer, policeman, doctor, etc. In essence, we grew up longing to be an employee somewhere out there. Now, it's reall a differrent world. Especially for us, my hubby and me, who comes from a family of employees, whether private sector or governmental. Kids these days seriously are considering getting money from selling! It's just a matter of what to sell that needs to be clarified. One day, my girl wanted to sell her used underwear because they are already too small. We don't want that, right? Thus, this is where ideas, brainstorming, and research kick in. 

Pasta Frenzy by Li'l Papuans (Patent Pending)

It's been 2 weeks since we started our PASTA FRENZY days, and she seems still excited about it. Meaning, not yet bored about it. Me? I'm just the mom who cooks. Super glad to have incoming orders for my little daughter's brand new company. She's doing the promotion, the distribution of tester cups. So where do we go from here, then? That's what I'm going to find out. School is ok. Once it held a business day, but not yet to be accounted for. I want business to be in the lesson plan if it were up to me. But it's not. So, I'll go do that research let you know 

Post Manado Flash Flood

Lapangan Sparta Tikala, Manado. Before - After

Almost 3 weeks after the flash flood in Manado and the city is still sea of brown with dust from dried mud in the air. In every breath I take, I can almost feel the thick dirty air. When we took a drive down town, I had never seen so many people queuing at the pharmacies. I deeply wish for a speedy recovery for this city, the society... to stand back up and learn from what happened.
