My dad has been selling usual wholesale products specifically refreshments like mineral water, softdrinks, C2, and even beers on our lodging business. He buys them at a local grocery store and sells them for our customers, which is another great way of family income. When I was young, I always see him making ice bags and would ask him, “Why are making a lot of ice bags full of water?” He would answer, “This is for you.” Being a kid, I never knew what he meant, until I stepped into the real world. I understood well enough that he uses the money he makes from those ice bags and refreshments for my daily allowances. Yes. DAILY allowances. And to think I was still asking for a raise. Pathetic of me. It made me realize how much I didn’t value money when I was young…

Now that I’m a mom, I’ll be doing this soon when the new food business does push through, selling foods and drinks to everyone for my baby Julie’s allowances as well when she starts school, although I must say this is not yet sure since up to now, we haven’t found a suitable place for the business. I really want one soon! I want to have my own business and start being the boss of my own work.
