The homework of my son has tickled my mind and so, I decided to write something about it. But, at the same time, a short conversation with a friend who was telling me about a dilemma that he is experiencing with work. This is not to offend anyone, but, I guess, this should be a realization, especially those who are in the corporate world. We know that the English language is internationally recognized. And that is why we have 12 years of learning (because of the K to 12 educational system now) the language. From the basics during grade school until high school and advanced English skills in College. So, why do we need to learn the language when we are also taught to be patriotic? It is not turning away from your country if you are learning the  English language because knowing how to read, write, and speak the English language allows you to explore the world right in your hands. Imagine what a waste it can be if we don’t know how to understand English, then the P...

How are you doing with your Christmas shopping so far? For sure, most moms have started making their list as early as June and take advantage of all the tiangee and bazaars that are scattered all over Metro Manila to find the best deals. Just like any smart mom, looking into the tiniest details has become sort of a habit mainly because money is not as easy as plucking fruits from their trees. Therefore, we want to make sure that everything that we buy is worth every cent that we spend. When doing your Christmas Shopping list, what comes on the first spot? Is it the gifts that you would buy for your family and friends? The food that you will be preparing for the Noche Buena? Or the Christmas decorations to have the real feel of Christmas. Actually, I have never been as vigilant as listing all the possible expenses come Christmas. But since we have been experiencing an increase in prices here and there, any smart mom should be prepared for the holiday expenses. Hold on ...

Our life has never been the same ever since technology has greatly improved over the years. Indeed, it has unloaded us of so much work from our daily lives, yet we still seem to come home each night so much tired than ever. So, what could be stressing us? Studies have found that stress is a cause of various diseases . So, sometimes, you just get surprised having a heart condition,  asthma, depression, or diabetes even if none of your relatives ever had it. It is likely caused by the stress that we deal with every single day. What are these stresses and how can we avoid them? Or can we avoid them at all? From the time we open our eyes in the morning, we may already feel tired simply because of not having enough sleep. But, being a parent, most especially mothers, we need to wake up at least at 5:00 am so we can prepare the food of our children before they head to school. Stress in the morning adds up when we failed to prepare the uniform that the children w...

There are various options on how you can earn money outside your monthly salary as an employee. There are people who want to secure their future, particularly ensuring that their children will be able to have a good education and to have a little more to use as capital for a business. However, not everyone may have the right knowledge on how or where to begin. Putting up a business may seem to be the easiest way to start building funds, however, there are also some people who would consider investing their money on something else, like buying shares of stocks. While there are great opportunities out there to increase your financial threshold through stocks, horrific stories about people being scammed by others may be brought about by not having full knowledge of how stocks really work. There may be no such thing as easy money, but if you know where to place your money correctly, then you are sure that you get more than what you have invested in. What are stocks?...

In this world where there is an ambiguous level of satisfaction and perfection, it has come to a point where some individuals no longer know how to live their lives normally and peacefully. It is like they always need someone else’s opinion regarding how they look. Just take for example how young teenage girls would start planning their major nose job or breast enhancement. They would rather look like a life-size barbie than come out just the way they are. Seeing beauty has become superficial. Both male and female have developed some form of vanity that looking at how they are now is like looking at fashion magazines. While we may see it as very neat and pleasing to the eyes, none of them may no longer be themselves as they try to portray a role to make people believe who they are. Perfection, in a sense, has been the ultimate goal – perfect hair, perfect skin, perfect body….. The need to become a model-like figure continuously escalates as the young generation are...

Whether you are an entrepreneur or an employee, the ultimate goal is to be able to have positive results by the end of the day. It may, however, not as easy to achieve without having to grasp everything all at the same time and still be able to deliver the things that are expected from you. In an office, you can easily spot those people who are just too busy always. They seem to be well-organized with the things that they need to do in a day. While some would be struggling and would probably be asking other co-workers how to do their job. Frustrating, isn’t it? Highly productive people create a timeline of everything that they have to do within the day, week, or month. They wouldn’t want to miss anything and that they would want to have enough time to think things through if he gives the right amount of time for each task. Very ideal, right? How I wish all employees would have this kind of mindset so that they can get so many things done in just a short time, but still p...
