THREE LESSONS LEARNT ON CAR ACCIDENT

 

 

I didn’t imagine that I would witness a car accident collision involving me and family members. It happened up close as I was in front of the car and the collision was on the passenger side (my side). My eyes were open and I saw vividly what had happened.

 

FIVE THINGS WE DID IN OUR HONEYMOON IN MALDIVES

 

 

I feel excited on this trip as it is the first time that I will travel with my hubby. Yey! Although we were exhausted after our wedding preparation and celebration, we were able to take a rest during our flight (we were sleeping during the entire flight).

 

Initially, I was a bit hesitant to go to this place as it is quite expensive considering that we have some expenses after our wedding. But my husband convinced me that it is just once in a lifetime experience. So when I am persuaded to pursue it, I booked our hotel using booking.com. We booked our stay in one of the beautiful island of Maldives, Paradise Island Resort. It is about 9.6km away from Velana International Airport (Male) and takes 15-20 minutes by speedboat. With 62 water bungalows and 220 beach bungalows, total 282 rooms all with modern 5 star facilities. The island is 931m in length and 201m width. I recommend this island resort based on my personal experience. The staffs are friendly and accommodating.

I AM OFFICIALLY A “MRS.” :)

 

I can’t believe it but it is true. My civil status is now officially married. I thought that it will remain single for the rest of my life J

 

I never thought that this time will still come. When I was younger I’ve been dreaming about having my own family with my loving husband and wonderful kids etc.… I could still remember the answer of Sushmita Sen (Miss Universe 1994), on the question, “What is the essence of being a woman?” She answered, “Just being a woman is God’s gift that all of us must appreciate. The origin of a child is a mother, and is a woman. She shows a man what sharing, caring and loving is all about. That is the essence of a woman.” I also grew up in a big family and we get along well, so I thought that having a family and children will bring me fulfillment as a woman. I also prayed to God to give me someone that will complement me and be my better half for the rest of my life.

ALL ABOUT CREDIT: TIPS ON HOW TO MINIMIZE/ELIMINATE DEBT

 

 

                Every person I meet, everywhere I go has debt. Even I have loans and credit card bills. Personally, I don’t like debt. I don’t want to owe anything to anyone. But I guess it is a part of our society. But I learned that it is better to minimize my debt or totally eliminate it so that I can gain ownership of my monthly income. It is my choice.

                                                                                                                                                     

Every peso (or Dirham, in case of UAE) that comes into your life is going to build someone else’s wealth. It could be you or someone else (Merchant, Media, Advertisement or Credit).  

 

STOCKS: A LONG TERM INVESTMENT

 

In 2011, I began to invest in the Philippine stock market with the guidance of Bro. Bo Sanchez as my mentor. I was a member of Truly Rich Club since 2010 but I really didn’t concentrate until late 2011. Since I was in abroad, it is advisable for me to open an online account to check my portfolio anytime. Bro. Bo recommended the COL Financial (previously named Citisec Online) so people can invest in the Philippine Stock Market even in abroad and with little amount of investment. I was inspired by the book that Bro. Bo wrote titled, “How my maid invests in the stock market and why you should too.”

 

TUNA PESTO SPAGHETTI

  

Every occasion requires pasta in the menu. Most of the time, we are cooking pasta in spaghetti sauce when there is occasion, but I learned that there are a lot of alternatives for cooking spaghetti that I just have to discover.

I learned this recipe from my friend who cooks it almost every week. When I tasted it the first time, I was hooked by it. I would like to share this with you, especially for people who are always on the go, as it is very easy to make. Hope that you’ll enjoy this as much as I do.

IS PERSONAL LOANS A GOOD DEBT OR A BAD DEBT?

 

When I was in my first year with my employer, I was convinced by my colleague on taking a personal loan who is also taking a loan at that time. She told me about the advantages of taking a loan. She said that she has plans for the money and since the money depreciates over time due to inflation rate it is better to take a loan and use it to finance a business venture or invest it in things that will appreciate its value overtime.
