Love and Health
It took me some time to fill up this space in our FB page. Though pressing, I took my time because I would love to reserve this space to make my audience feel the reason behind our business.
I lost my mom at a tender age of 21. She was only 42 years old. I know some people might lose their parents at an even younger age, or some, much later. But through the years I understood that no one can move forward from losing a loved one. We just live by and drift on. In my case, not just my mom but my aunts as well. And for me, one big factor is good health. You see, we are such a loving family so we always have heart issues. This, on top of being sweet (diabetics), passionate (high blood!), and takes your breath away (asthma attacks). Thus, I learned early on that this is our family history. That may be, I will also end up dying young like them. Frequently visiting family doctors when I grow old and gray if ever I reach that timeline.
Until I experience loving. No, this is not actually a romantic note. Loving yourself is also one form as well as caring for your neighbor. I dream of aging until 100 together with people close to my heart, doing and rocking the world with everything I can share. WTH, God created me for greatness and He showered me gifts that I need to share. I would love to live long - happy, healthy, loving! This started a different approach in my life. I need to be healthy to live this dream. But I cannot be alone when I grow old. I need my friends to be healthy, as well. I need to choose the foods that I will eat so as not to have an ill-effect on my health in the future.
So when I presented my business plan to A-LSE program, a social entrepreneurship program by Ateneo de Manila University, mine was healthy eating. All the healthy goodness that is inconvenient to find in a vending machine, within your reach 24/7! How perfect. This is the brainchild of shoplokalph. As my business mentor said, the key for budding entrepreneurs is to get started and learn how to scale down! Since the vending machine investments present so many hurdles to my business model, I simply removed it. For now.
