Mamsuy's Home Made Spanish Style Sardines

This Spanish Style Sardines mini business started early 2006. This used to be our family recipe only passed on from my grandfather. A lot of our friends and relatives would normally finish up all these when we serve them on family occasions. Later that year, we were having a hard time with cash and had to decide to come up with something to earn from. So we, my mom - Susan "Mamsuy" Lim, decided we go on and do the mini business. She would do the cooking and my sister Jeri Mae Lim and I would do the delivering and advertising. Friends and relatives would buy from us which really helped us a lot. The business stopped around 2008, when our cooker died and couldn't fund for a new one. It was just the other day that Mamsuy finally got the funding to buy a cooker, so we started it again.

This is Home Made, Hot & Spicy, and of course, delicious. Grab one now and let us know what you think. :)

Lyn's Puto Delight

Lyn's Puto Delight was formally started November of 2008. It originally was Chad Chester Uy's family recipe only. A lot of friends has been asking them to open up a puto (steamed rice cake) business since almost all of their friends loves and requests for them on almost any occasion or even just the ordinary days that they crave for it. Friends then grew shy to ask even more, so they asked them to cook for them and pay for it. When Chad got married to Rosalyn L. Uy, they decided to continue and open the planned biz.

You can grab and taste these puto at Cham's 24 Hour Convenience Store Carmen, Macasandig, and Xavier branches. Or you can order thru text/call: 0923 915 8923 and look for Chad.

Tatak Environmentalist - One Shirt One Tree Project

1st Rafting Adventures and Papa Ardie's Concepz in cooperation with Hot106.3FM and The Bar presented Tatak Environmentalist - One Shirt.One Tree Project. For P250.00 worth of shirt you buy, you get to plant a tree. Last August 22, 2009 was the launching of the project which was held at Only in Cagayan (OIC) Bar and Grill parking lot. Among the events highlights were the video presentation on the environmental issues and the calamity that hit Cagayan de Oro City last January 2009 and the performances of local bands and dancers. CDOBloggers supported this project.

Where and when it all started...

These all happened last 8/19/2009 - We were all so caught up with the preparations for the MBS3 that we failed to notice that we still didn't have much advertisements to local radio stations to invite Kagay-anon bloggers.

Since I knew a few DJ's personally, I had to do something. I asked Papa Ardie of Hot106.3FM to give us a time slot and we'd document his event in exchange so he agreed. I relayed the good news to the fellow core group and true enough, our CDOBloggers President ChiQ Montes with Edward Ragpalla II was interviewed regarding the MBS3 event and had the chance to invite the Kagay-anon listeners tuning in the station.

Taza Coffee at around 12noon.

After the interview is where all the stress started. In exchange for that interview and continuous plugging, I would have to make an AVP for their event Tatak Environmentalist, One Shirt One Tree Project that was due in 2 days. I had no other way but to dose myself of brewed coffee and had gone back smoking. Edu, also known as Magman, was there for moral support. (thanks bai, if wala pako ka thank you). He documented that day, from that morning til evening. He too was stressed with me that he finished his cigarette pack in less than 2hrs. LOL. While I was working, he took photos of Rosario Strip.

Taza Coffee at around 9pm

I guess that's about all it. So Magman, we now have an official date and place of where and when we started back smoking. LOLZ

Pik-Cup

Young Entrepreneurs Vincent "Inting" L. Uy and Francis Merrill "Kirk" E. Escalante thought of having their own business for their future. Since both of them have the common hobby of eating, they thought of something affordable and convenient for all ages and thus PiK-Cup was born.

They started with just delivering to Metrobank where Inting's older sister is working. But as time flew, they both lacked the inspiration to continue and Kirk had to go back to school. They eventually slowed down and stopped for about a year. This is when Inting's mommy Victoria L. Uy stepped in the picture to revive what was started, cause she saw the potential of the business.

Pik-Cup now has a stall at Xavier University Canteen. You can also have the Pik-Cup's delivered if ordered by bulk. So far, Pik-Cup has only 4 options to choose from: Pork Asado, Sisig, Chicken Stew, and Corned Tuna. ALL FOR 35PHP PER CUP ONLY!

For more information visit their stall at XU Canteen or call/text:
