No Spartan Beast race today on account of the potential typhoon, which meant I stayed in the Fort BGC and resumed life as usual -- early morning client, worked on Empowered and then killed it at weight training.
6:00am Wake up
6:45am PT client training
8:30am Breakfast
10:00am Errands at Market Market (the mall)
1:30pm Laundry and work on Empowered Clubhouse financials
6:00pm Weight training: leg day!!!
8:45pm Mexican Independence Day party at Hacienda
10:30pm Light groceries
11:00pm Arrive back at home... and pretty much crash shortly there after.

With no Spartan race, I assumed my day would be pretty chill but it was kind of opposite. I spent a good chunk of my day working on my financials for Empowered, trying to play with the numbers to see how the Poblacion location would work and how the BGC would compare to it.
It's a big chunk of money, regardless of what location I go with.
I talked to a friend about it and she commented about "how cheap things are in the Philippines". I was annoyed at her comment. The so-called "cheap prices" of the Philippines aren't cheap when you compare what we're all making here, the general public that is. Sure, it's cheap for Canadians in Canada, Americans in America, but I'm a Canadian in the Philippines, making pesos and no Canadian dollars.
Let me give you an example...
In Canada, my PT client pays $70Cdn for an hour of one-to-one boxing coaching. That's 2,800Php.
In the Philippines, that same client only has to pay $12.50Cdn, 500Php.
And before you drop your jaw at the realization of the price difference, I should note here that the average person in the Philippines only actually makes 500Php a day, so the fact that I make that in one hour of coaching, ya, now you can drop your jaw.
