I was on National radio today

louievill.....Do you have your bracelet copyrighted? Hope so. We wouldn't want anyone to steal your idea.

hi yoyo, the idea of making bracelets from parachute cords is not a new or original idea and lots and lots of people are making it already especially in the U.S. so no need to have it patented. I think the Philippines is rather late in grasping the idea of the importance of having a strong rope at your disposal but at the same time be fashionable.

Hatley my friend, those parachute cords have been with us since WWII and they had been used by preppers around the world not excluding California where everybody seems to be preparing for " the big one". As far as the Philippines is concerned, I would agree that it's really a new gadget and concept and so far is known only to quite a few, besides thinking of being famous, ahemhaha.... think it's becoming just like a personal crusade for me to make Filipinos aware and at the same time serves as a vent for my latent and dormant artistic talents.

yep if I had not been reluctant to share the time and date of the program in advance then I may have given a more in depth insight of the product especially for Filipinos. I posted in Sulit ( the same one that caught their attention) but I cannot give a link since i would be violating Mylot Guidelines, so it's good you just make your own search there as to it's merits and limitations

@louievill It wasn't a scam for me and yes I speak Italian enough to get by. Ciao!

You were interviewed? So it's not a scam? So you speak both Italian and English.

I was only nervous at first but it became very relaxing and pleasant as it went on, thanks to the hosts who really made me feel at home. I was small time local politician when i was in my early 30's so i'm a little bit used to public speaking but not on radio.

hi belle. actually paracord survival bracelets are not your ordinary bracelet that are made just for fashion or accessory, they are fashionable and are very pretty indeed but in times of emergency, they could be unraveled into a strong cord that has a breaking point of 550lbs or 250kg. it's new in our country but has long been popular around the world especially for preppers (like me)

hi louievill. sure, i'll send you a pm in a bit. been offline these past week or so. just busy doing other things. again, grats on the recognition you got about this. it is a well-deserved one indeed. cheers and happy mylotting!!!

yes please do send me a pm so we can discuss it more in detail, business or whatever and at the same time not break ruleslol[/em]

hi, sorry to hear that my friend, so was your dad was a regular in the USAFFE ( United States Armed Forces in the Far East) or in some irregular guerilla force? I'm sure you did a good job with your diction as most educated Filipinos are expected to do ( unlike in money game shows LOL!) So what happened? It's a pity that lots of my friends missed my convincing angelic voiceif I may carry my own bench myself LOL! Seriously Eileen, my experience was a bit pleasant, I was expecting these guys to be really witty so after I got all the butterflies from my tummy I just sort of programmed my self to match them without sounding arrogant. Here are some excerpts: I was explaining about my rapid deploy bracelet that was not as beautiful but more practical, compared to my single and double cobra weave, I said "I carry the Rapid in my bag while I wear the beautiful bracelets in my wrist that you can even wear in the bar" when the main anchor blurted out " Mr Louie, how many girls have you convinced with your bracelet?" so I answered " sssh.. my wife is listening to your program" so everybody started laughing. If you noticed on my picture, I am wearing a pace counter or ranger beads necklace that military, rangers, bounty hunters etc... wore long before there was satellite global positioning, I explained that it had beautiful plastic " skull beads" similar to what special forces wear and I created a lock made from upcycled bullet shell casing buttons, when one of the anchors suddenly blurted " can you use real human sculls?"LOL! so I answered back " the Predator did that already in the movie" ( the movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger) I think that was when the radio program ended.

hi friend, it's finished already yesterday ( Saturday), it was like a live interview con question and answer that ran from 8:15am to around 9:00 am in "Radyo Ratsada", wish I could attend the conference if schedule and time affords me. You will have to pay me cause my rate just went up (just kidding)Seriously, just look for me in Sulit if you want to get to read my informative article con advert that caught their attention.

Ah this is how it looks like, there are numerous colors and combinations available and possible and this is just and example. It's already in use around the world but it seems that we Filipinos are rather late, the experience in the radio station was different though cause I did not expect my simple effort would reach that far.

It helped me a lot to sell a lot of what i make and find people who would like to resell with my whole sale price. Steel? oh one thing i do is buy steel scraps, yes steel helps industries so that is very respectful job

as i said i cannot post a link since i would be violating Mylot guideline rules of promoting but my items are on our local site sulit so just make a search and find me there and more important the merits of the product that may be of some help to our people especially to a natural calamity prone country like the Philippines. Your location may not be of any hindrance. it's a major station that also owns Philippine daily inquirer and I think channel 5, I seldom or never listen to am stations but this experience would make me have a change of mind, they have live streaming, so some of my friends saw me on their pc http://www.dziq.am/home/ I also started a discussion about paracord bracelets prior to the radio stint that unfortunately only got 1 response

thank you and welcome to Mylot

yep, I really hope so, well it's just a side line and something i really enjoy doing while earning a little. I hope the bright future would be for all of us Filipinos, have a change from our " bahala na " (come what may) attitude to an attitude of readiness and preparedness to challenges that may come our way.
