Target: More Time and Jobs

Happy New Year to all!

I need to always keep moving forward and probably target more jobs this year.

I really wanted to go back writing softwares again but unfortunately, I want to develop and learn more in several designs that is related to human interactions with computers.

For sure, I will always give time writing tips in my blog.

With things getting more complicated each day, I need to work harder and harder to save more money for future software development.

Although by writing softwares, I can make money but it isn’t enough because my expenses are getting higher each day even if I’m working 30-31 days per month.

The great thing is, writing software is really related to my small computer shop business. Lots of personal things happening but I always make sure that I’m still into software development targeted to mobile and PCs.

I tried to recover my files from my hard disk but unfortunately I failed. Months of writing codes was thrown away… :))

Too bad.

Anyway, when the right time comes, I have more money and its easy now to maintain everything in my business.

I’ll focus more time in writing softwares – of course – with my team.

Brilliant team. Someday. Hopefully.

Computer World

These past few weeks I’ve seen so many things differently.

Believe it or not

• Two children that I never seen before can’t use any computer because the computer hangs after a few minutes even if you’ll removed explorer.exe as its shell.

I can have lots of customers but we must have some form of limitation or standard because each of them has different lives.

Example

• One customer punches his brother because of too much gaming.
• Computer viruses is very much related to real world viruses like common flu and sore eyes. These computer viruses serves an indication or warning to these kind of problems.
• Some families and business uses my system to actually solve their problems and attract more customers.
• Having fun is good and some people are using computers during their pass time.

Choosing the right thing is one of the best choices that serve as basic thing to prevent some problems to occur again and again.

There is nothing to lie in my writings… only a life to live.

If there’s a need for me to not tell the truth, therefore it means that there is a very important reason behind.

We live in the world that we are connected together. Learning to understand is the basic and standard way for us to live together. My job now is to keep myself moving and leaving behind all personal things.

Have a great day every one!

Tough Times brings out the Best Ideas

Real life situation and personal problems generates great ideas if everybody will just dream anything.

Last year after I resigned from my work, I was so down that I don’t even know how the hell I can get back on my feet and get going again.

But I did not stop moving.

I let go on my personal problems and did not listen to all people around me, fighting with all my strength for recovery.

Personal things can get you stock where you are and who you are.

• Last year, I was so down that my debt is unimaginable that it seems impossible for me to get back in my feet for two years.
• I was contacting the only person that I can trust and help me but It did not helps.
• I was losing my property and realized that It was a big mistake investing for housing projects.
• I was left alone in the middle of nowhere that I don’t even know how to walk.

Amazingly, I did not stop learning, saving money as long as I can and learning how the *system* works.

This site is the beginning of my first attempt to make money and generate ideas: http://windowsforus.com

After several months of learning how the system works….

Ideas came to me…

Now, I was able to make money researching for users interactions to computers for a very small investments.

Starting capital: Zero

For now the income only covers the expenses e.g. rent and salary of first two employees and I was able to move in to my new office located at #18 _______ here at Naga City, Philippines.

Work Work Work… This is my new office. The place is very cheap and good place to write softwares.

Starting this month, I’m going to develop software again and hopefully, next year I will get clients and start a very small IT company.

If possible, I’ll try to develop more of my skills but unfortunately, it will take time again.

I noticed that people doesn’t care anymore. They don’t even know how the system was developed.

If it works, its ok. If they are happy then great.

Of course,”no man is an island”. I’d like to thank everybody and other companies that still help me to distribute my softwares every single day.

Again, Thank you so much… :)

I learned so many things in just few months.

Today, I feel very tired and stressed at work that I wanted now to give time writing softwares and publishing tips.

I did not win in the Nokia competition, It’s ok. Because of project, I was able to generate new idea and business in studying the users interactions.

I’ll start tomorrow.. :)

Learning Times

Probably many of you already knew what happened in Quirino (ki-ri-no) Grandstand at Metro Manila, Philippines.

It was a sad and frustrating incident where eight Hong Kong Nationals died in the incident.

You can read more about the hostage crisis here.

Facing the Truth

I did not grew up in the Philippine capital - Manila so, I also consider myself as one of the tourist even if I stayed their three to four years after my graduation.

These are several things that I noticed if I’m going to compare Philippines from other Countries which I visited like Malaysia, Singapore and Japan.

Manila, Philippines

• While on the road, drivers are always in a hurry. It’s like riding in a roller coaster every single day.
• Standards are not being followed for Houses, Small buildings, etc…. and because of this, the city are not designed in a large manner. There are plenty of ugly portion of the city.
• Undisciplined people
• Too many people and almost all places in Metro Manila are over crowded.
• Dangerous streets except Makati, Fort Bonifacio, Ortigas and other well developed areas.
• Cost of living - high and salary - low.
• Squatter Areas - Many people are still trying to stay in the city where they have small chance of getting a good life.
• Garbage problems and polluted rivers
• Heavy Traffic everyday
• It’s like people are now immune with problems and they don’t want to face the truth that Philippines is already left behind by other countries in Asia in terms of Infrastructure, Technology and Military capabilities.
• There is no unified system that makes the entire city easy to navigate

For most of the people I know - having family or personal things comes first. Work is only rank second. (This may have advantages and not true to all people)

Advantages in working and staying at Metro Manila

• Great work experience and the competition are strong in different skill levels
• Students has advantages in resources for learning that you cannot find in other places in the country e.g. Books and trainings
• Malls Malls Malls - Amazing giant supermalls around the city
• Plenty of Restaurants from cheap to very expensive
• Foods and other things that you need everyday are cheap.

Kuala-Lumpur, Singapore, Kobe - Japan

• All ugly portion of the city are covered with huge boards and walls
• The city are designed in a large manner (Engineering and Architectural Design)
• Nicely designed High-Speed Trains
• Buildings are scattered
• People are more civilized or disciplined
• Almost no squatters or beggars
• Expensive Transportation except Malaysia
• Less pollution due to small number of cars and people
• Cleanliness in the surroundings are being observed strictly
• Cost of living are very expensive

We have our own individual problems that needs to be solve, anyway, these are some things that I can share.

• It’s not enough that the Philippines will just focus in creating jobs from other countries e.g. Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Overseas Filipino Workers employment. The government needs to help the micro, small and medium-sized businesses to undergo several research and development that will help their business grow in a vast manner. Eliminating anomalies as possible, minimizing the cost and increasing the profits for expansion from local to abroad.
• The government must focus on solving problems directly as fast and efficient as possible.
• Learn how to control the media and people in order to have something unified approach or solution to the problem.
• The government must develop products locally not import technologies from other countries.
• Create branding of products and something unified approach in every system is good for the long term.

Border Problems

Lets tackle some of my childhood memories and make it like the Micro, Small, Medium and Large-scale Business around the world.

I remember when I was in the elementary grades. I used like to roam around the stores (micro-small enterprises) in the home town and It was great.

I’m always amazed with gadgets even if I don’t have money to buy that kind of stuff.

As long as I can see one. It’s ok and It’s fine.

Before, the only people that can afford these gadgets are above average and rich families (Medium and Large-scale Business).

If I can see the future 31 years from now, What will I do?

Of course I’m going to target everything from Micro, small and Medium enterprises and after 5 years, the large scale ones.

yeahhh…. It’s very simple idea but it works and most of the people likes it.

Not just for the rich but for the poor.

However, we are not living in the perfect world.

Some countries will be affected in the long term. For sure.

If I wanted to do business especially with first world countries - for example, I only have $40,000.

Can I do that? the chances are very small because of the BORDER PROBLEMS.

Me, I wanted to visit my uncle in Canada last year but I was denied.

It’s only a social visit. Family visit.

It’s very simple and I was denied.

What if I’m an investor and just trying to learn everything from customs, shipping, Visa and easiness in doing business?

Make it 100,000 investors doing that kind of micro and small enterprise of business.

Is that scary in the long term? of course….

Anyway, this is just my contributory idea and hopefully this helps.

I’m still learning with all my stuff this week.

I’ll get back as soon as I can.

Massive Spending

I was playing with my computer with air conditioning 100% running….

Then suddenly lots of my friends comes by to greet - say hi and what am I doing for the past few weeks.

I was so focus with many things that I became dumb for simple things. But now everything has changed.

We went out, exchange ideas and lots of things came to me for my small home business.

I only bring P20 or equivalent to $0.46 and I said to them, treat me ok!

There are too much to ask.

Several years ago, I’m always collecting Entrepreneur Magazine and now I can use them to generate new ideas.

We visit one store, one computer shop, restaurant and one thing I noticed….

MASSIVE SPENDING

• I think the physics of action and reaction is being applied too much.
• Filipinos love foreign goods (me too).
• There are only few locally manufactured devices that I can think of.
• Openness can be seen anywhere

Anyway, Its been great.

I’m so thankful for some ideas that I generated and I think in the next few days I’m going back publishing tips and updating my softwares.

I’m still waiting for the results at the Nokia Competition so for now, I can’t redistribute the variation of RegDevelop builds for Mobile Phone Automation.

I think its for the best and glad that I learned so many things.

I’ll try to get back as soon as I can!

Geeks Who Love Too Much

There are too much learn.

I learned so many things in my life for just few weeks…. It’s like I was put in an unknown world that I don’t even know how to walk and where will I go.

It was an adventure that started when my life went down and now starting to recover.

I know many obstacles are starting to come. Many people contradicts in my principle in life.

All I want to do is to understand and learn everything.

Love Love Love

Love for your work.

Love of what you are doing.

Love of the things around you.

Love and appreciating all gifts that was given to us.

Love for your friends and family.

My friends abroad ask me, Why are you staying in your place where there is an opportunity for you to work overseas?

When you started from nothing (poor) then your life became better (rich) and goes down.

There are too much to ask.

When I was working with a long term employer, can I do this things?

Can I go to work in anytime that I want?

Do I have freedom for speech?

Even if I’m not getting *enough* money it’s ok.

Even If I became Poor like many others here in the Philippines.

It’s ok.

Why? Because I love my work.

I love what I’m doing. I love everything!

Stay tuned for more variations of Regdevelop.

Again, Ideas will always be apart of innovation…
