Ternate Beach Resort - Cavite, Philippines

Oh boy, it seems like I am always playing catch up ha ha!

Ternate Beach Resort

A few weeks ago, I took my girls to Ternate Cavite to check out this beach resort. Before checking out this local beach, we headed to Arlene's sisters "Mother/Law" and celebrated her 85th birthday, WOW!!! She was so cute =)

Anyways, sorry for not posting on a regular! I've been slammed with video projects, but it's been super fun and challenging. I promise to try to post more =)

Ways I Earn Income - How Much Do I Make?

I always get a lot of questions about what I do, and the easiest thing to tell people is that I am an Entrepreneur.

With that comes questions about how I make money.

Firstly, this post is not about bragging or making myself look good. "I'm No Rockefeller" =) Just ask any of my friends or people who know me, and they will tell you that money is the LAST THING of importance to me. So why become an Entrepreneur you ask? Well, because I love to create experiences with my life and if I can make enough to support my family, travel, and give back to the community through charity projects, I'm happy with that. At the time is the post, I am happy to say that I give back more than half of what I make.

So let's get into the why you may be reading this post, how many ways do I earn? As an entrepreneur, it's about creating multiple streams of income. Not every stream will make you millions! Some gigs may be just enough to help you buy groceries or put a tank of gas in your car, and some may bless you enough to pay for amazing vacations and maybe your kids college tuition! If you're lucky, you may have a stream that even pays residuals.

Here are some ways that I earn and a ball park figure on what I can potentially make:

1.  Youtube - I currently have 3 channels, but only one channel is earning google paychecks every month or two. I can make about $100-500+ per month. My main channel. Family Channel

2.  Stock Video Footage - I have a small digital library that I've been working on and I am working with a platform that distributes my work to about 5 stock imagery websites. I can make up to $100 per video clip sold.

3.  Video Production (Videographer) - I have a small video media production outfit where I create videos for extreme sports, weddings, restaurants, corporations, small businesses, entrepreneurs, and just about anyone who needs a video. I can earn up to $2,000+ per video project.

4.  Fiverr - This is a freelance website where I host some of my video projects. This is still new to me and I can earn $5-$100 per video gig. My Fiverr Gigs

5.  Patreon - This is for people who support my OCRTUBE media project where I film obstacle course racing events to benefit charities around the world. I can earn $1-$500 per patron. This isn't really an income as 100% of the donations get funneled back into the project to do good in the world. Become a Patron.

6.  Cryptocurrency - I am a crypto enthusiast and still learning and having fun with it. I can earn 1-1000% commissions per crypto trade, and $50 per referral affiliate commissions. Contact me about how I trade crypto.

7.  Social Media Fitness Influencer - I work with a California based health and fitness company and share my organic active lifestyle through my networks. I can currently earn up to $2,000+ per week. Contact me to learn how to become a Fitness Influencer

8.  Blog - I have a general blog where I have affiliate links. My blog is about health/fitness, travel, family, and entrepreneurship, pretty much the story of my life as it happens. I can earn pennies to thousands per year via google ads and affiliate commissions. My Blog

UPCOMING PROJECTS:
-  Restaurant/Cafe
- Gaming Internet Cafe
- Airbnb Experiences, I once managed my family's airbnb business. I may delve into experiences soon.

So this gives you an idea of what I do on the daily basis and how I juggle work and family life. Now I cannot give you an exact number of how much i really make and that would not be something that I would share anyways, but from this, you can get an idea of how much I hustle day in and day out just to ensure and build a better future for my family.

If you have any questions, or if you are interested in any of these side hustles, feel free to message me and I can help you to the best of my ability. I love to see people succeed in life, so if you are looking for something more, maybe I can help share what I've learned and we can make a better life together! =). 

6 Weeks of THE WORK - A New Workout Program from Celebrity Trainer Amoila Cesar

Are you ready for Beachbody's Newest Workout Program?

6 Weeks of THE WORK was developed by Celebrity Strength and Conditioning Coach Amoila Cesar, his story on how he got started into health and fitness is pretty inspiring. The company Beachbody, my business affiliate partner is so amazing at choosing the BEST trainers in the world. Everyone has a story, check out Amoila Cesars story:

I just found out that this new workout program is AVAILABLE NOW though what's called VIP Early Access. This basically means that it is available through purchase of a Digital Challenge Pack. If you are already a Beachbody on Demand member, it would cost you an VIP EARLY ACCESS fee of about $37.46 USD. The program "6 Weeks of THE WORK" will make its debut on Beachbody on Demand (to the non-early access members) on April 2020. If you are not worried about getting access to the workout program now, you can always wait until April 2020 when it finally gets added to the member library on Beachbody on Demand.

The BEST Way to get started with THE WORK

I will be starting the program in a few weeks and will be getting the VIP Early Access because my ass needs to work LOL. I've been currently doing sporadic workouts on Beachbody on Demand, and not any sort of workout structure, which I feel I need at this point. With all the traveling and projects that I've been doing, it's been an issue for me to stay on track, so having a strict program to follow with someone who really pushes you should do me the trick! 

FYI, the workout program does have EXPLICIT LANGUAGE but it does offer a clean version. I think I'll be using the explicit version when the kids are not around, sometimes for me (and I can only speak for myself) I need someone to push me and yell at me, it's a motivator for me =).

So for some of you asking about what the program includes, here are some screen shots of what its all about and the different options to get started now.

GET STARTED NOW:

These are options if you are NEW TO BEACHBODY WORKOUTS

Options if you are already a Beachbody on Demand Member

My Recommendation if you're already a BOD member - click here!

Here are some BASIC OPTIONS

Buy the Digital Product only here for only $37.46

(must be a BOD member, not a member? Get a Free Trial here)

THE WORK equipment Add-Ons (get all the equipment you need) - click here!

This is what THE WORK includes:

-  36 Workouts, the workouts are designed to get you stronger, leaner and more agile. The workout is complete with digital components such as: Get Started Guide, Fit Test, Workout Calendar, and Nutrition Guides. 

Equipment needed:

- Dumbbells (light to heavy), I'll be using a sandbag at first because I won't have any dumbbells (just moved into my new place in the Philippines). As always, use what you have and don't make any excuses just because you do not have all the equipment. Pick up some canned goods, a chair or a backpack...be creative and make it work. If you can find something to lift or push, use it! 

- It says you also need resistance loops and strength slides (just work with what you have, but if you can get these, it will make your workouts more effective) Use the equipment add on link above. 

- Chin up bar optional. I would definitely get a chin up bar, there are modifications for this, but the more you use a chin up bar, the more you will get better, and with that you will yield better results! 

This is what I'll be using for the time being =)

Supplements:

Of course supplements are always optional. All I really use is my all natural superfood shake Shakeology, and I occasionally use the recovery drink which is so delicious. Supplements all depend on you, but if you wanted to get my advice, this is what I would recommend:

-  Shakeology (take your pick of flavors, there are vegan options as well) This is my go to only option because it's just like having a meal, a pre workout and post workout. Its very versatile and only made with all natural ingredients from all over the world. Unfortunately it's only available in the USA, UK and Canada at the moment of this post, and that's because of how high quality the ingredients are, it's just difficult to produce in high volume, but I hope to see it become global soon. 

TRY BEFORE YOU COMMIT:

Non Vegan Shakeology Samples

-  Recovery Drink, after doing an intense workout, most people don't realize how many calories and energy is lost, so replenishing this soon after a workout is important. This also helps with of course soreness. Sometimes if I do not have access to the recovery supplement, I drink chocolate milk. It's delicious but just not at all as nutritious as the BB recovery drink. 

-  Pre Workout, I don't use this very often unless I am dreading my workout, and I need a boost. There are days we all feel lazy, and this just gives me a boost to get my workout done. I definitely feel better right after, but that spike really helps on those days I have no motivation, you guys feel me right? =) Don't have this, or can't get it right now, just make a peanut butter and banana sandwich (about an hour prior to your workout), I do this all the time and it helps with getting that little bit of energy I need to pull me through a workout. 

Drinking my Shakeology at Machu Picchu!

LASTLY

I think support and accountability is the key to success with any workout program or regiment. Some people join gyms or attend group fitness classes which are always good options. But these people cannot be with you 24/7, so an online support group which is available 24/7 is the best way to go. I mean you can do both, because let's face it, the more motivation that you have, the better! There's nothing like having a bad day and posting how you feel in an online group, and then within seconds, you have random people messaging you with a million reasons why you need to get off your butt. I guess that is why I became a Coach over 8 years ago, it's because I was able to get some amazing results, and it was all because of the support system, for me, that's the secret of success! There's no magic pill, it's just all about hard work, commitment, and REAL PEOPLE by your side. 

It's all about Fitness, Nutrition and Real People Support - No Short Cuts

Feel free to message me about joining my online accountability groups, I promise that it will help, I know it does for my customers, associates, and myself.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

So I decided to do this workout program because I need to get my butt in gear. I will be 49 years old this year - YIKES!!!, and I'm not getting any younger. I need a HARDCORE push, and this guy Amoila seems like the man for the job. My ideal workout seems to be a cross between P90X, CrossFit, and Running, so this will be right up my alley. If you're looking for an athletic based style workout, than this is for you. Join me, and let's kill it, or be killed together =) 

A TYPICAL DAY Living in Cavite, Philippines

So I've been based here in the Philippines here since January 2019, and although I say that, I can't really say that I live here because I am constantly traveling for work and video projects. But when I am here, I tend to try to relax and focus on my family. Sometimes we get all caught up in wanting to be successful for our families that we simply forget to spend quality time with them.

My Favorite Part of What I Do 

Starting a family here in the Philippines has been wonderful! A lot of times I would rather not plan anything and just spend quality time with my girls at home, and we do this as much as we can =)

A typical day living here is Cavite is pretty laid back unlike living in the city of Manila. Where we live, it's like being in the province. It's definitely a lot slower here, and that's just perfect for us!

I have a lot of friends who are Digital Nomads or have their own online businesses, and I always tell them that living in Southeast Asia is perfect because the cost of living is very low, which enables you to save more, and invest more in your business. I do this quite often where Arlene and I will have our set budget weeks or days, and we try to keep things as minimal as possible. Doing this helps me do more for my business, and helps me organize my finances better.

What Arlene and I use to workout everyday!

(Ask to join my Free Online Health & Fitness Accountability Group)

Here is a quick video of a typical day living here in Cavite, Philippines. It's not quite the same everyday, but it's pretty close. When we are not staying home and budgeting, we're pretty much out exploring, and the Philippines has a ton of places to get lost in!

Enjoy our quick video, and if you ever make it to Southeast Asia or the Philippines specifically, feel free to message me, I'll be happy to show you around! =)

Project Bantu Philippines - An Inspiring Day Filming

On September 14th, 2019, I spent the day in this very disadvantaged community in the city of Manila called San Andres Bukid. A few weeks ago I posted in a facebook group which catered to people who were interested in volunteering in the Philippines, and here is a screen shot of my post:

Volunteer Opportunities - Philippines

Join the Group Page on Facebook

Immediately after my post, I started getting flooded with messages in my inbox, I was so very excited! 

Project Bantu Philippines was among the first organizations to message me. I decided to reply after taking a quick look at their page. I really liked what they were doing with the children so very quickly, we set a date to film one of their classes right in the middle of San Andres Bukid. 

When I film charity based organizations, the one thing that I always look for is if the organizer really cares about the mission, or if they are just in it for the wrong reasons, I've seen this many times unfortunately.

My first impression with Jaime Benedicto was that he had a big heart and was really passionate about his work. Jaime is the Project Director and Founder of Project Bantu Philippines, and he's been changing lives for over 6 years now! I spent a good 5 hours filming and getting inspired by him, and the teens who were actually also teaching the other children who once before, were in their shoes. It was nice to see the progression and the success that was happening in this organization. 

Arlene and Baby Penelope also came along with me for the support, and they had a blast playing with and watching the children. It was a family affair, and something that I want to continue doing as baby Penelope gets older. I hope that she will one day get inspired to help others just like her Daddy =).

So back to Project Bantu =)

Jaime and the organization are currently in the process of trying to build a new center for Project Bantu Philippines. As of now, they are hosting their classes in a community building. If you would like to assist them with this project for opening a new center, or would like to support them in any way, I will include the links below. 

Here is the video that I created for Project Bantu Philippines, it is just my way of giving back to the community. If you are reading this, and you run a non-profit, please feel free to contact me for consideration of my Free Video Production services, I look forward to hearing all about it!

First Time Taking Baby Penelope to Kinder City - Birthday Package Prices

With our baby Penelope's First Birthday just around the corner, we've been looking for places that would be the perfect place to celebrate. I think we found a place =)

The Kinder City at Vista Mall General Trias, Cavite is an indoor playground with all kinds of activities like rock climbing, jumping on trampolines, slides, and more. We were interested in this place because the facility was quite large and very clean! They also have a Kinder Cafe for quick bites, and they even have restrooms inside the play area so that you don't have to leave the facilities like the other smaller indoor playhouses.

Although the birthday packages seems a bit pricey, you actually get a lot more than you think. We inquired about what was included in the 25,000 php price ($500 USD) and this is what is included:

Kinder City Birthday Package:

-  Rate is for 60 people (30 kids and 30 adults)
-  Meals for 60 which included one round of Iced Tea
-  Party room and play area for 3 hours
-  Sound system
-  Printed and online invites
-  Gift bags for all the kids
-  Birthday Cake
-  Gift for the Celebrant

I've included more specific graphic
details below.

Birthday Package Price: 25,000 php ($500 USD)

 What's Included:

Printed and Online Invites

 Kiddie and Adult Menus

 Gift Bags for all kids and Gift for Celebrant

HOW TO SAVE MONEY ON THE KINDER CITY BIRTHDAY PACKAGE:

If you live near a Kinder City, I highly recommend that you purchase what is called a Kinder City Kiddie Passport. The Passport costs about $1500 php ($30 USD) and is good for one year. The passport gives you a 10% discount on all visits, and even gives you a couple free entries, as well as a frequent customer stamp card where you can get more free plays for the kids. And guess what, if you are planning a birthday party, you can use the 10% discount on your party package, so instead of paying 25,000 php, you would pay 22,500 php (about $50 USD in savings).

Now of course if you will not be visiting Kinder City all throughout the year, it probably won't be that good a deal for you, so you might as well just spend the 25,000 and have a great time! 

We purchased the Kinder City Passport about a week ago and took advanta
