asal - lechon sharing app

there are ride sharing apps like uber and grab. i will create a lechon sharing app called "asal" using ruby on rails.

the reason why i join a golf tournament is because it's the only time i can economically eat mind blowing lechon (aside from christmas/new year and on rare occassions whenever i get invited to a party). i wish i could economically eat mind blowing lechon twice a month. i can economically eat lechon any day in the mall but for some reason it's not mind blowing. i would rather eat lechon kawali sold in karenderias or pungko pungkos. i don't know why. maybe the lechons in the malls and restaurants undergo freezing and they just reheated or microwaved it. i do know that once a mind blowing lechon has been chopped, the magic starts to dissipate and the quality deteriorates rapidly. after 1 hour it is no longer mind blowing. 

so i will create a lechon sharing app. the first step is to file a patent. this is the the link to the draft of the patent: https://drive.google.com/file/d/17e1lj2Jad-hSqB_umlvi8-2nfnWKQ8zB/view?usp=sharing . the background and description of the patent is also the specification/design of the app.

i learned that a newly born piglet cost around P3.5k. that means the profit margin of a single lechon is very thin and most of the money goes to the breeder. i know a lot of friends who are in the piggery business but none of them are breeders. maybe breeding pigs is too complicated for most people. 

i also learned that the biggest problem with piggeries is disease or flu epidemics. if you read my article - https://ian-crystal.blogspot.com/2018/08/i-just-won-a-billion-dollars.html, i suffer from chronic soar throat and flu since childhood. i discovered that putting a tiny chunk of raw garlic in my mouth whenever symptoms start prevents me from getting full blown soar throat and flu. when i have time, i will test if pigs will still eat their feeds if i mix some raw garlic in it. if it works, i will contact my college roommate dr. meo sanches who is the #1 swine expert in the country and ask him to test if garlic can also prevent a pig from getting a flu. maybe if there is an outbreak in one of his client's farms he can put the population in garlic therapy and see what happens. or even insert uninfected pigs in the population while putting them in garlic therapy and see if it prevents them from getting infected. who knows my roommate will win a nobel peace prize. this will have a domino effect on the health of the world because less antibiotics means people will have healthier gut microbiome which means more serotonin for happiness and energy which means higher enthusiasm to work which means more self esteem which means less drug abuse which means less crime and so on and so forth.
