Venturing to Goat Business
0174 days
When I was in highschool I am dreaming of having my own business. Business that is not limited to technology or anything related to my industry. I am employed in a multinational company in Manila doing software development. One of these days I’ll be setting up my own agri farm in Nueva Ecija. Goats are good source of income, and that I venture into goat farming.
I just want to share to you my piece of cake, cake that which I am dreaming of having.
I agree with Doc Marc, housing is the easiest technology to acquire in goatraising. If you have the money, one can immediately construct it.
Aside from good animal husbandry, developing a good forage should also be a priority and this is also requires capital. I hate to admit it that this is one of my mistakes. However I’m now in the process of rectifying this. Don’t forget to get a soil test. It pays off long term to be scientific in developing our forage. Planting grasses (kahit damo ito) is also difficult if the conditions are not met. As advised to us by Doc Emil of CLSU, make it appoint that we germinate 100 seeds everyday and make it a habit, this will sustain us in the long run.
About earning a profit in 2 years, forget it. I already did all permutations of business conditions and opex/capex analysis. If one will build a decent goathouse plus acquire good genetics and invest in forage development, the payback period is in between 3 to 4 years and cash sufficient within 3 years, which means you need to pump in additonal cash to operating expense in the next 2 years to sustain operations. You start to churn profits on the fourth year (best condition) to fifth year (worst condition). Backyard farming is simpler and they immediately earn profits because they are tethered and don’t employ workers (family members are mostly taking care of the animals), So if you’re looking at commercial goat farming, you need to look at a minimum 10 years time horizon.
I’m now in the process of learning the accounting standards used in agriculture. This was brought upon by the increased business activity using plants to produce medicines such as Ascof/Lagundi. I’ll be more than willing to share this.

10 Things Why You Should Date a Bosconian
0222 days
1. Because he has minimal interaction with the opposite sex, he would most likely appreciate the female species more.
2. He wouldn’t act as $%@ky as your regular university guy because he gets less practice in that department.
3. He’d be more gentlemanly because he’s not exposed to the reality that this is no longer expected of him.
4. You’d be his “one and only” because he has no “field” to play in.
5. He won’t be ditching you for a night out with the boys because he’s practically sick of being with the boys.
6. A huge sign that says “Jump. Run. Make Noise. But do not sin.” is the focal point of their gymnasium, so he has got to be nice, at the very least.
7. You won’t have to force him to go to the barbers because longbackers are a no-no in his campus.
8. He lives and breathes mathematics and can therefore do wonders to your algebra average.
9. He’ll always look his best when he’s with you because it’s not everyday that he (or anyone else for that matter) actually cares about his appearance.
10. Finally, he’s taught to do his ordinary duties extraordinarily well, which can’t be a bad thing.

My Life Flooded Journey
0223 days
I wrote it last Thursday, I didn’t have internet connection that time so I postponed my posting.
Who would imagine an hour journey home could be tripled. I guess I had it once, and tonight I doubled it.
Alright, I started my day at work somewhere in Taguig. It is a typical gloomy Thursday morning, lazy getting in the dining hall serving myself what have for morning mess. Not distinct, I arrived late. Almost 8 hours staring at my computer doing some alfresco hacking, decided to go home. Again, not the typical hour of going home. Geez, as I went out of the building I was shook by mild wind as the bits of rain tickling my face. Just to cut off my expenses, I decided to avail the free shuttle service of the company. Commonly, its route is going to Magallanes, down to Ayala. Here’s what? We were stuck on Gate 3 and moved down to Glaxo Smith Kline, on Glaxo a heavy pour of cars, even water is on our shuttle. Without our knowledge, our route going to Ayala (along Pasong Tamo EDSA) is blocked due to flood. Just about a waist high, imagine? What I did is take a different route, thinking whether to still go to Ayala for a cab ride or take the MRT to Ortigas. Just chose to take the MRT it cost less and will lessen my travel time. From that point I saw the time on the booth and tick half past 8. Took us an hour and half to traverse the stretch of Fort Bonifacio-Pasong Tamo. So then I arrived at Ortigas, seeing the crowd from the MRT I decided to get to Robinson Galleria and take a bus, but instead of taking a bus I walked until Tiendesitas. Why? Because there is no bus and a battalion of people are waiting for a bus to pick them up. Together with me walking along Ortigas Ave. are people who cannot wait and try their luck waiting for a bus or even an expensive cab to take them home. To lessen my competitors on Jeepneys, cabs, and even bus, again decided to go SM Hypermart. Luckily after atleast 5 cabs drove infront of me askin’ where am I going, I had one however the cab will just take me to Felix Avenue cor. Karangalan. I opted to get his offer so that I could be able to get home soon. In Karangalan Ave. I took a jeepney going to Binangonan, atlast! I arrived home at exactly 10 past 10.
