Lottery Winner

For the past few weeks, the lottery here in our country hit an awesome high of P 741M or $16M (assuming exchange rate is $1 = P45). A lot of Filipinos tried their luck to get the grand prize. Bettors range from unemployed to even lawyers. It is inevitable for them not to bet since this kind of money can change one's life.

For those who are not familiar with the Philippines, our standard of living is quite low and many foreigners would want to retire here in our country. We have nice tourist destinations that are accessible and relatively cheap.

Anyway, now that it is back to zero, people for sure will wait for it to balloon up again. I wonder what will the winner do with the money? Hope that it is for something good...

Different Vision

Having a partner in business is not easy. I think I was really a mistake being business partner with someone who doesn't have the foresight to see the bigger picture and a close mind who see everything only their way.

I must be blinded when I entered into business with someone like that. I like to create a system to increase efficiency and to lessen possible lost on the business, but when your partner is stubborn, then it is a sign.

I value my friends but when it comes to business, we deal with it as business. If my friend will buy something from my business, I make sure to ask and supply the necessary documents to protect not just my client's interest, but my own as well. Mixing friendship and business is a great sign that the business will fall soon.

My boiling point is that when my partner consider our business as a part time project only where my partner can get money once "a project" comes in. I do not share the same vision for I want to grow this into a bigger business.

My only option now is to get what is mine and leave my partner alone with the business. Claiming to be good in sales is just one part of the equation. The business know-how is equally important.

I am changing strategy and will start to go another way. Start another company with visionary people.

On Loving - Haunted by the Past

Last evening when I got home, I checked my Facebook and saw some messages from an unknown user. She shared some information regarding my past relationship. Funny is that all those information are useless since I got over my past months ago. However, looking at those data, there seems to be some accuracy with the data she gave me.

In any case, I am in a great state now and nothing can change the past. It may hurt a bit, but it was the past. Hope I got those information earlier. Also, I do not know if those information are true.

I have moved on and I cannot change the past.
