Most people change over time, some for the worse and some for the better. How a person changes depends on his or her decision. But I also believe that the circumstances that happen in one’s life is a big factor on affecting that change. For example, I’ve been out of the corporate world for ten [...]

The Philippines goes on holiday today for Labor Day, that special date when we all celebrate the contribution of workers to our economy and society. I honestly believe that without them, our country will fall down to its knees – that’s why I’d like to say thank you to all of them for helping our [...]

The year is about to close and as we all look back to the year that was, I’m now here to give you my list of failures for 2012. Why share something so “negative”? On the contrary, I believe it is actually a very positive experience. By summarizing the things that I’ve failed to accomplish, [...]

Problems are part of life and come in many forms. They can be small and trivial such as not knowing what movie to watch this weekend (yes, that’s a problem); or big and serious such as losing your job.

Last week, I wrote about the five things you should think about during the Lenten break. Among those five things, I was specially curious on what others thought about the last question.

Last week, January 26th, I attended the 2nd Lenddo meetup over at Jack’s Loft in Eastwood, Libis. It was my first time to meet the people of the Lenddo community, and I’m glad that I did. I’ve never been with a group before who are as hungry for financial knowledge as those I’ve met that [...]

This long weekend, in my opinion, is the real start of the Christmas season in the country. Christmas decors are already up almost everywhere, specially in malls. People don’t protest anymore when they hear Christmas songs on the radio. And of course, Christmas bazaars are now happening all around the metro. In fact yesterday, Friday, [...]

Early this month, I was invited to attend a Bloggers Plant Tour of Gardenia Philippines in LIIP Mamplasan, Biñan, Laguna. Remembering how I’ve always enjoyed “field trips” back in elementary, I did not hesitate to confirm my attendance to the event. I’m glad I did because I was not disappointed. I felt like a kid [...]
