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.

THE LITTLE BY LITTLE DISCIPLINE OF SAVING

 

 





When I started to work as an OFW, I already made an inventory of my salary. I planned on putting aside some percentage for my family, for my expenses and for my savings.

That is how I lived my life. Most of my income went in supporting my parents and the rest I saved it to finance my goals.

During the first few months, I didn’t have much to save because I am still paying for some debt I made before I come in the UAE. But later on, I had enough to save.

CONDOMINIUM: A GOOD OR BAD INVESTMENT?

 

In 2010, my brother has invited us to attend an event related to real estate investment for condominiums. I was hesitant to come as I am not really convinced on condominium investment, for me, I’d rather go for conventional real estate such as house and lot or lot only. But I went with them anyway.

 

The presentation was in a nice hotel and food and beverage is being provided. I enjoyed the presentation made by DMCI Homes International and almost convince that I should invest on it.

 

During the question and answer portion, one guest commented that it was a good location, near schools, hospitals and the LRT station. She said that her daughter is renting an apartment at a certain price with her two friends and cost her Php10,000.00.

 

FIVE THINGS TO EXPLORE IN KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA

               

It’s another exciting trip again we had in Malaysia.

 

As usual, we booked our hotel using booking.com. We booked our stay in Hotel Transit, 45 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur International Airport. It was a nice hotel and it is close to KLCC, Chinatown, Bukit Bintang, LRT stations and Pudu Sentral UTC (KL’s main bus station). I recommend this hotel based on my personal experience.

EXPERIENCING MORONG, BATAAN WITH WHOLE FAMILY

 

This trip was unplanned. When I say unplanned, we just talked about it over but didn’t pay much attention about it and what exact place we will go.

 

We don’t know how to get there, but there was an App that my sister is using called “WAZE” which was quite accurate and very helpful. She uses it most of the time when she travels in uncertain places. This is the first time that she will drive for longer time and in an unknown road.  And praise God for His guidance and help of this App we were able to come to the place we were looking for.
