Museo Pambata Tour

Philippine Culture and History is one of my favorite subject when I was in high school. I've noticed that most of the children nowadays are not familiar with our history and most of the kids we know barely speaks Tagalog. It made me sad that my kids also didn't know some words in Tagalog because their previous school taught them only in English. Its a great thing that I was now in charge of their education.To give them an idea I bring them to my favorite place which is Manila.

I remember when I was a child, we used to go to Rizal Park, Manila Zoo and Fort Santiago. As a child those memories were unforgettable to me because the place was full of story to tell. To be able to educate them better of our history we went to Museo Pambata located in Roxas Boulevard There they were able to see some old stuffs we used to have at home when we were little like the old type writer, telephone, flat iron, baro't saya, bakya, sewing machine and a lot more. My seven year old daughter was fascinated with the old things she saw at the museum. She appreciates those old stuff which I think is rare for most kids in this generation.

This was the Binondo Church found in China Town near Carriedo Station. We normally roam around here whenever we craved authentic Chinese cuisines. Manila has a lot of old but authentic restaurants as well.

The old meat store that can only be found now on wet markets but kids don't normally get to experience these because supermarkets already replaced these traditional way of selling, And most of the time when we shop we don't normally bring them to wet market anymore instead we bring them to airconditioned supermarkets like Landers and S&R which is way too different from these stores which is normally manage by an individual.

This place is a must try for everyone. I really recommend this place like I've said before you can actually experience what is it like to live in the old days. What do I mean by that? In the old days our great grand parents and grand parents were able to support their family and bring their kids to a decent school by selling meat, vegetables and fruits at the market, running their own tailor shop, farming, a sari sari store or neighborhood sun dry store and more. There we also found a very interesting way of how people from the old days treat illnesses by using herbal plants as a substitute which I think is very popular nowadays.

Selling on Shopee

Today's blog is all about online selling on shopee. It was May 2016 when i first started my account with shopee selling my laundry bags. During that time shopee was not yet that popular in the Philippines. Luckily I was able to benefit from it. I actually saw it when a friend of mine from facebook sells her own line of nursing dresses. So I also began creating my own account and started posting different items that I could sell.

My first month was not bad but I actually had orders. Then I remember the shoppe rider who collects from my house told me " Oh this is your first time using the app, You will have more orders coming soon justy like the other sellers" So I just continued to do my thing like the usual. I began designing  different kinds of laundry bags design, tote bags and then t shirts.

It was Summer of 2017 when a well known brand of t shirt was so popular that made me think to make an inspired shirt and put some patches and different accessories which I personally make that I almost sold 100pcs or more shirts. I was always busy making shirt and designing for my store. I was being recognized and LBC was almost everyday collecting parcels from my home.

So now lets talk about how to sell on shopee.First of all you need to create your own accont input your store name, address, contact number and also your bank account details. After that you may now start posting your products to sell on the app.

You may want to buy and sell different products according to your preference. In my case I started selling my own laundry bags, tote and then I began on putting more products like branded detergent soap, chocolates, branded bags and so on. Once an order arrive you will have 2-3 days to complete the orders. Then you simply have to book or schedule a pick up once your done packaging the item. Once booking has been scheduled a courier rider will come to collect the parcel and you just have to wait for the completion of the delivery. Once delivery has been successful your customer will have to rate your products and you also need to rate the order back to let other seller knows that the customer is a good customer. Once completed your pay out will reflect on your shopee wallet that you can withdraw to your bank account. Typically it takes 1-2 banking days for the payment to appear in your bank account. Shopee is actually giving you 3 free withdrawals each week and if you exceeded you will be charged a 15 pesos transaction fee for the next withdrawals.

Now lets talk about the unsuccessful deliveries. Those unsuccessful deliveries will return back to you or once lost you will still get compensated for the full amount of the item. Some customers will order via cash on delivery then once the item is already there some just ignore it. You can report that to shopee to take action and the customer can no longer use the cash on delivery mode. Once reported the customer will need to pay first via remittance or bank transfer before they can make a purchased again.

One more thing that you should consider is before shipping to make sure that your item is all in good condition otherwise the customer may file a complaint via shopee and asked for a refund. In this case you will have to shoulder the shipping expenses once found that you are actually at fault. To eliminate this make sure to take a clear photo of the item before shipping. I have several complaints when it comes to shipping of fragile goods such as broken glass and mirror and I need to swear to them that it was actually the courier's fault not mine.

I hope you get more info on this blog and if you have any questions just comment below and I will try to answer those question of yours.
