The Day I Became a Biz Kid

Leave a comment

Last year, Victorious Homeschool started a Volt-In class series known as the VEE Boss Business Kids. Everyone had fun learning from it, so it had a repeat this school year.

This series was dedicated to teaching kids simple economics and entrepreneurship. I learned a lot about different topics like different ways to save money, profit and loss, the stock market, loans, and most importantly we learned what are the essential things we needed if we wanted to start a business.

To showcase what we have learned from the VEE Boss Biz Kids Series last year, everyone was invited to make a proposal of a product or service that we would like to do during the Victorious Homeschool Fair. I wanted to have a booth so I began brainstorming for ideas.

At first I thought of selling paper crafts, but then I wanted to sell wallets since we have been learning about money. I also want the buyers to be able to customize their wallets. So, with the help of my mama, I worked on my idea and sent my proposal.

If I wanted to sell during the homeschool fair, I needed to start working to make my idea into a reality. It took a lot of research and time.

First, we had to find the materials we needed. We went on Shopee and Lazada to search for pouches and patches. We needed to find something cheap but still of good quality. When we finalized where to get our supplies, we then had to plan the initial quantity of our items.

One of the hardest part of the business was the costing. We wanted to make sure our product is not too expensive for kids, but we also need to make sure we will profit. We needed to factor all the capital we will need and We also researched the prices of other custom wallets available online to help us figure out the cost. We had to edit and adjust our prices several times from the original cost proposal we submitted.

Bringing the Idea to Life

When we learned that my business proposal was approved for the homeschool fair, we started to buy the inventory we needed. We also planned and prepared the packaging.

We also made the marketing materials we needed. We even made a stop-motion “commercial” for PitakaKKu.

“Let’s Volt In! The Homeschool Fair”

During the fair we were early because we needed to set-up our booth. My Lola Nonie even came to help and support me with my business.

I felt excited when we made our first sale.

Our first customer was Jerson!

When I see somebody loving the custom wallet they’ve made, I feel extremely happy. I feel glad that they’ve enjoyed the experience of making a PitakaKKu, and I earned money because my idea was successful.

My mama had to man our booth while I was having fun with my schoolmates during the 2025 Let’s Volt-In Homeschool Fair.

I loved all the creative and fun wallet designs that were made and bought from our booth. PitakaKKu earned a profit and we still have inventory left behind that we can use some other time.

I’m happy to experience being an entrepreneur that day and learn about building a business in the VEE Boss Business Kids Volt-In. It feels great to earn money and see a your customers enjoy your products. It’s a win-win! So yeah, if you have a passion project now, maybe you can think of how it can become a business.

We didn’t get to sign-up for a booth for the upcoming Victorious Homeschool Fair this year, but I’m excited to support the new business that my schoolmates have prepared. It’s open to everybody so feel free to drop by!

Anyways, seeya all next time!

My 3D Modeling Journey

Leave a comment
I posed my Minecraft character in Blockbench. He is holding a scythe I designed.

For the past few months, I’ve been practicing a modeling software known as Blockbench. It’s a software that can be used to make assets for Blender and Minecraft mods. I have also been learning Blender so I can render my models properly.

I found out about Blockbench through TerasHD and ArtsByKev, YouTube channels that features Minecraft challenges. They both make custom bosses for Minecraft using Blockbench and MCreator (I think).

Since then, I’ve been watching and reading different tutorials on how to use Blockbench. I think it is extremely easy to learn and I recommend trying it if you’re just starting 3D modeling.

Here are some more models I made:

This is one of my first models. I call it the Ally Golem.

I recently discovery how to make MC-styled weapons, and I couldn’t resist making a scythe. It’s so cool!

A more recent model I just posed. This is a character I made based on Mr’ Ant-Tenna from Deltarune.

Remember practice makes perfect.

When I was learning Blender it was hard at first. But after watching some tutorials, it became so much easier than before. My next goal is to animate my characters in Blender.

I feel glad that I am finally showing my models to the world.
This was fun, See you next time!

Buwan ng Wika

Leave a comment

Noong Sabado, nagpunta kami sa “PINOY AKO!”, ang pagdiriwang ng Buwan ng Wika at Kasaysayan ng Victorious Homeschool.

Sobrang saya ng event! Nakipagusap ako sa mga kaibigan ko at naglaro kami ng mga traditional Filipino games tulad ng “Ten-Twenty”, “Patintero” at “Bato Bato Pik”.

Akin ding ibinida ang tradisyunal na sining ng pagta-tato. Kilala ito bilang “batok” sa Norte o “patik” sa Visayas. Pinili ko ang mga disenyong mula sa Visayas dahil mula doon ang aking tatay.

Ang mga tato ay simbolo ng katapangan at kagitingan ng mga sinaunang Pilipino. Ipinapakita din nito ang mga kultura ng mga tribo at lugar katulad ng mga simbolo para sa hangin, agos at paghahabi. May mga disenyo din na simbolo ng proteksyon laban sa masasamang elemento.

Sa aking kamiseta ay makikita ang salitang PILIPINAS na nakasulat gamit ang tradisyunal na paraan ng pagsulat ng mga Pilipino – ang baybayin.

Maligayang Buwan ng Wika at Kasaysayan sa lahat!

Happy Birthday to my Dada Markku

1 Comment

Today is my Dada’s Birthday! I love being with my Dada a lot.

Five on His Birthday
Here are 5 things I enjoy doing with my Dad.

  1. Talking about things, like movies, Lego and recent news. I like hearing his opinions and hearing facts about the topic we are talking about, I have fun when we have a conversation .
  2. Having fun in a place like Heroes Headquarters. I felt happy when we played together in a foam cube pit, ziplined and more.
  3. Going to Kape Apolings, the cafe of tito Adam. When we are there Dada gets to speak with his friends and drink coffee. It makes me feel glad when Dada is happy 😊.
  4. Playing games together during free time. Some of our favorite games are Commandos and Hotshot Racing. Its great to play with him
  5. Spending time together somewhere with the fam like the mall, when we gather somewhere then it is a chance for bonding time for both me and Dada with Mama and Mari.

A message to Dada:

Dada if you are reading this then thank you for taking care of me for the last decade, and don’t forget I will always love you.

“It is very blurry cause it is 20×15”

Above is meant to be a Bday cake.

Happy Birthday Dada 🥳

Goals for The New Year

Leave a comment

Happy New Year!

Looking over the past year, I can say that lots of things have been accomplished this year. Even though I haven’t posted much on this site, next year I will try to post more often here.

After saying what I thought of this year I will say a list of things I want to try doing next year 😁

1. “Try Cooking”

Cooking is an interesting thing to try because it takes up a lot of time.
Example: Mastering a single dish or have lots of trial and error making your own dish. In the end cooking is pretty fun.

2. “Use The Drawing Pad I Got This Christmas”

From all the presents I got this Christmas one stood out from the others. That one present was a Drawing Pad. It was dream come true because how I was animating was with a stylus directly on my tablet with on flipaclip. But with the drawing pad and my computer could help me make better animations.

3. “Use 24 Fps”

If you don’t know, Fps is frames per second. I normally animate on 10 to 8 Fps which makes it more choppy. But with 24 Fps and the drawing pad and with time I can make smoother animations

4. “Keep A Journal”

Writing in a journal is good because of many reasons. Listing, writing, cases and “The Casual Nostalgia Trip” yeah. This is one of the simple things. Another thing to do is post more often.

5. “Start A Youtube Channel”

Starting a Youtube Channel needs a lot of planning to do, but I’ve always had the feeling that I wanted to start one. Since I just got a drawing pad I feel like I should make the channel’s content animations and stop motion just like Haminations and Jaiden Animations.

That is basically the top five things from the long list of what I want to do [NOT FROM WORST TO BEST]. Time passes by so fast so you have to cherish each moment. Also HAPPY NEW YEAR!

P. S Jaiden Animations and Haminations don’t do stop motion but nevermind

Hobbies

Learning how to solve a “Rubik’s cube”

1 Comment

The “Rubik’s cube” has been something I have been interested in for a long time. I always thought that I would never be able to do it, because the first few times I tried it was too hard for me.

I didn’t play the Rubik’s for a while, until this year when my Dada started to teach me. He taught me some algorithms. At first, it was pretty tricky. I kept turning the wrong turns and confusing myself by not focusing. But when I kept practicing and persisted I started getting better and better, until I could solve the cube on my own.

music from –> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NcPvmk4vfo

Never gonna give you up Never gonna let you down
Never give up trying to solve you.

When I first saw the Rubik’s cube I thought ” Okay this is gonna be quick and easy.” but back then I had no idea that the Rubik’s cube was a lot more complicated than I thought. When I was trying to learn the algorithms I thought that I would never know how to solve the Rubik’s. But I learned to never give up. You always have to know that when you try something new you aren’t the best at it yet — so, just keep trying.

” The Rubik’s is not impossible, just keep practicing”

The Bulul

Leave a comment

The Bulul, is a Filipino artifact that was used by the farmers of the village. Historic documents say that the Bulul was a Filipino rice god and if the farmers did certain chants and rituals the Bulul would give a great harvest. Some Bulul were put in museums and some became souvenirs for tourists. I learned about the Bulul in the book, “A Lolong Time Ago” by “Halo-Halo Histories”, it is a great book I recommend it.

“I made a Bulul myself out of clay and I realized, I forgot to give him ears, oh well”

This is my Bulul made out of clay, yes I did not make ears for him. It was very fun making him. My Bulul was made for the art subject. I used air-dry clay, a plastic bottle for structure and a plastic container for the bowl. The reason I made this guy was for a late Buwan Ng Wika project and for fun and art.

This is a fun project that you can try yourself. I recycled stuff made out of plastic for the Bulul to have structure. The Bululs I saw on the internet had their eyes in a squinting way most of the time. So I recreated that with diagonal line eyes, the nose gave me some problems but then I had the idea of sculpting the nose from the face. I made the Bulul smooth by rubbing the sides with a wet pencil. Don’t forget to have a place mat so the clay won’t touch the the table.
