Oh, being a grown-up in this crazy world can be such a headache sometimes!  After I graduated college, I slowly transitioned into the real world.  It was an amazing experience!  For the first time in my life, I got to earn my own money!  Not only that, I get to decide for myself now: what job I take, what food I eat, what time I go home… Being TOTALLY independent is amazing!
Slowly, reality bit me inch by inch.  Bills arrived monthly and I know if I don’t organize my expenses, I would be in a whole lot of trouble.  My mom would always say “Every little penny counts!”  “You cannot make whole a hundred peso without this 50 cent!” 
 

 
I am very thankful for my mom’s wise financial advices.  My mom is […]

It’s Christmas once again. That time of the year when everyone is abuzz with the shopping frenzy as early as August.
Here are a few Christmas gift ideas you can get for your friends or family  They are already packaged nicely so you don’t have to worry about making it look pretty.
Holiday gift-giving has a long tradition filled with noble intentions that sometimes leave shoppers more harassed than cheerful. Aside from worrying what to give who, whether the recipients will like the gift or not; people have to contend with their budgets while taking into account to pick gifts that show both love, affection and appreciation for the people that we care for.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. Be it family and close friends, colleagues and bosses, […]

Lately, I’ve been so frustrated at Manila traffic. I just went home to Bacolod a couple of months back to witness a very busy festival (Masskara), and yet driving there amidst the number of tourists and the lively festivities didn’t let me get caught in heavy traffic.
Coming back to Manila, I experienced the worst traffic situation ever. It’s already the holiday season and I’m expecting it to get worse.
I’ve been ranting on Twitter and Facebook saying I couldn’t take this traffic anymore. I go to work and it just hurts my eyes and I get constant headaches. It is very uncomfortable. We need a better solution. I came up with ideas about passing a bill to the Senate (if ever I get elected as […]

New Yoshinoya Comes to Glorietta 1

Posted: December 3rd, 2012 | No Comments »

Yoshinoya is one of the few fast food Japanese restaurants that I keep coming back to because of their best-value beef bowl or gyudon. And recently, the restaurant has decided to rebrand themselves and bring to Filipinos something new yet familiar with the opening of their latest branch at the second level of Glorietta 1. […]

I used to have a secret blog. It was taken down because the website hosting it shut down. I write there whenever I need to tell a secret. People can read it, but my identity is cloaked. No one will know it’s me.
Now that it’s gone. I just don’t know what to do!
Maybe I’ll create another secret blog.
How about you? Do you have a secret? A secret blog?
