i wish many more filipinos will ‘group’ together
and make open flea markets in their respective communities a ‘new’ family week end fun entrepreneurhips ‘affairs’ making extra money while having fun socializing..a deal hard to beat
extra unwanted plants trees flowers bushes any unwanted but quality furnitures family personnal or gift items like candles pictures frames shopping bags even hair piece like pins stc.why cut discard throw give them away if you can make some extra money by signing up city hall permits to create run your own decent community flea tent markets for a fee after accepted invitations by friends relatives to start having fun activities like flea markets but your own lol
thousands of pesos incomes is easy money for quality items in an open flea markets
paris in france is ‘world’ famous in open flea markets most french people spent their week ends ‘visiting outdoor ‘flea markets coz some flea markets offers outdoors caffee tea hot chocolates croissants with marmalade & butter to have a good time watching flea markets buyers
believe it or not most europeans ‘love’ affairs are spent in outdoors of flea markets lol!
yup! european millionnaires {bored ones} are having the time of their life socializing while experiencing fun filled ‘free’ open markets
elegant casual boutiques like jewelry dress shops candy specialties wood carvers painters art designers put up nice tents in week end flea markets just to get rid of their left over sale or marked items
we’re planning to put up later a mini outdoor flea markets caffee’s & pastries also rental-sign in magazines & books
to customers
kami ho HALO-HALO lang at kakanin lol
our baguio relatives should go looking for new open flea markets but in quezon city or rizal for less expensive rental rates than makati city coz their hand weaving materials techniques must be discovered it’s tragic that their unique artistic techniques are hidden to the rest of the world
ang kailangan ho namin ay stalls na nag re-rent ng mga disenteng large tents folding chairs kasi kung mayroon eh di mag titinda din kaming lahat ng relatives ko lol
ang hanap naman namin eh yung mga filipino made designs na puppeteer flea market shows para sa mga bata
manicure pedicure hair cuts make up appointments sastre eh di dapat yung mga calling ‘business’ cards nila eh naka display din dapat sa open flea markets pag week ends para ‘customers’ would know where to go call text
man lang if ‘services’ ay kailangan pag closed o walang open flea markets
landscaping gardening o lot care takers kami pwede rin mag rent kami dyan ng stalls sa makati city velasquez park open flea markets sayang open lang pag saturdays ‘bitin’ ang business renders business sellings
i will buy cut flowers at mga high end sampaguita garlands in ‘bulks’ for weddings anniversaries welcoming parties business openings floral decors from dyan sa mga ‘bagsakan’ ng goods from baguio laguna o davao flowers dyan sa may gilid ng quiapo tulay o balintawak divisoria will rent stalls to sell them again dyan sa salcedo street open flea market at display ko na rin yung calling cards nitong new family flowers idea business namin saturday lang sana naman mayor-governor every friday & sundays din please!
in switzerland germany austria luxembourg most vegetables fruit vendors prefers week end open flea markets even part time professional employees who plants buys & sells them again make s a lot of money than most stores shops owners why? because flea market stall rents are way cheaper than shop-boutique rents
wala ho akong talent o experience man lang sa negosyo kaya subokan ko chiken pork barbeques at fruit juices & shakes na lang muna sa flea market sa amin sa quezon city kung mayroon
pakakantahin at pasasayawin alternate ko na lang muna isa isa ang mga anak ko sa open flea market kasi baka madiskubre pa yung mga talent nila sa planned rented stalls namin mura lang rent daw kaysa sa malls o shops rentals yung calling cards they can call for speacial ‘performances’ for extra fees syempre business eh
wow! sa colored chalks drawings sa sahig ng flea market o sa semento ng mga brother & sisters ko may mag donate kaya if we place a box for art ‘appreciations’ fees daw tulad sa mga european like italy’s florence mga painters daw doon hinahagisan ng mga donations coz happy sa art nila ang mga bypassers lol eh di sa papers din just in case they want to take the pieces home
hhmmm..salcedo street velasquez park flea market ano kaya kung mag rent din ako ng stall pero for PSYCHIC o CARDS PALM READINGS
pumulot ka na lang sa gubat o mga side streets na dry grasses o tuyong mga twigs tapos i glue mo ng mga maliliit na mini floral buds o create tiny dolls-flowers out of dry hays tapos glue mo lang sa circled o square o heart o balloon shape na twigs{dry thin branches}hays as riboons to tie or wrap around the twigs as cover then sell them as home decor party decors o welcome doors sign your only expenses is the glue & stall rent old clothings shoes bags blankets curtains can be recycled into arts for sale
flea market in makati? wow..here comes my ‘vintage’ clothings shoes bags wraped gift boxes soon under a white stall

….filipinos who should have BEEN PROGRESSIVE as first world country DECADES AGO HAD BEEN DEPRIVED of all the advantages info educations awareness knowledges from their own filipinos gifted-talents to advanced to move forward meeting success after success from decades ago BUT did NOT materialized decades earlier instead united states put asia countries south east asia in particular into ‘financial crisis’ in early mid 90’s and chaos thru u.s. chaotic international economic social policies BUT hopefully philippines-filipinos who are victims of american past international economic social political policies for century by using filipinos OWNED WEAKNESSES & COMPLEXES WITHOUT KNOWING IT can move forward as it should meant that way….even if it meant….filipinos in poverties hardships living in the gutters plus the handicappes unemployed under educated citizens CAN NOW CREATE BUILD SMALL BUSINESSES THRU OPEN FLEA MARKETS LIKE THIS ONE IN VELAZQUEZ PARK BUT IN THEIR SMALLER BARANGGAYS….GOOD LUCK SMILING TALENTED VERY CREATIVE HAPPY FILIPINOS lol….
….I MEANT FIL-AMERICANS too besides the philippines WAS CHEATED NOT ONLY DEPRIVED
to advanced to experience earlier success from more than decade ago so filipinos must learned NOW or NEVER majorities who’s incomes are under ten thousand pesos GET OUT! GO! make all these ideas here a filipinos REALITY just imagine while having an income you can also advanced yourself doing what you can learned from others around you in open flea markets like this one in salcedo street besides extra more learning socializing but in your own towns go to TESDA centers to learn to become independent & wealthy but on your pace & places or be a TESDA centers teacher just what ever you hardworking filipinos do mas galingan nyo ang mga projects mula o gawa sa mga kamay para mabili kakagad hindi dahil sa awa pero dahil sa galing ng pag gawa disenyo o linis ng pagkagawa….lol
blogging is good coz others need not steal your ideas coz it is now in the open unlike in america that some dangerous couvert operations could mean actually ‘honestly’ is to ‘steal’ economic ideas ‘intellectual’ property or info or to sabotage one’s ideas even hopes with different pretext coz american way is also making money thru pang iipit access but if you go public blogging then no need to steal coz you publicly speak out unless they already bought-paid for the blogposts and was selling our individual comments behind the bloggers back to big payers like a business as usual stand coz american way of life{making money}in some u.s. govt. activities are questionable too but their style in overall govt.system is your bad & illegal but ONLY if you get caught so honesty that americans desperately needed from others are also in return almost impossible for americans to give yes! double standard so make filipinos aware of this united states double standard policies or some highest ups wait for tragedies to happened freely from old news i saw read hear from the newspapers decades ago in t.v. magazines etc. they cash socially politically or economically in between somehow sad & difficult but it push-drove me to go blogging publicly to released my ‘disgust’ to some unacceptable american govt. policies in powers so i hope my negative remarks in blogging here in our awesome planet of anton rache aidan joshua can make a difference in waking up americans in all colors and all other disturbing mind boggling human ‘behaviours’ of govt.offcials
reasons maybe why i do not like political lives-participations if i can avoid it what i am doing here in OAP blogs is for filipinos to understand that it is not what it is that what you see coz americans are just like all others except they are much more decent looking serious finnesse wearing suit & ties but run real complicated i guess i have to live their way coz some other countries are even way much worsts than our own americans lol
we’ll treat ourselves to flea market like this one in salcedo street next time
flea markets like the ones in paris,france europe must be nice to have in all towns in mindanao visayas & anywhere in luzon
