Set inside the fictitious Seattle [...]

I often get emails from readers asking me for business and financial advise, some of them I have already shared with you through my Reader Mail section.

During these times, I am reminded that investing in knowledge and financial literacy is something that [...]

I recently traveled to Bacolod City to attend the 2009 MassKara Festival.
I stayed there for almost a week to witness one of the country’s most renowned celebrations.
I’ve always known Bacolod as the City of Smiles, something I learned from my college dorm mates.
And back then up until last week, I thought that it was just [...]

A friend of mine gave me yesterday a brochure from the Bank of the Philippine Islands. It’s a marketing flyer about the different BPI Investment Funds.

Last February 22nd, I attended the Mensa Day at Fully Booked, Bonifacio High Street in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.

McDonald’s recently launched a television ad that really got people talking. It’s simply titled “First Love“, but is more popularly known as the “McDo Huling El Bimbo Commercial” along with other similar titles.
