Little Sis is back... from Thailand!

Early yesterday morning, we (my brother, sis in-law and I) went to the Centennial Airport to fetch our little sister. She's back from Thailand for a four- week training at Maejo University in Chang Mai. We went to the wrong airport. She was actually at Terminal 3 since they had taken the Cebu Pacific airline. To my dismay, I had to pay 200php because we had to take the metered taxi from Centennial to Terminal 3 and because I didn't want my sister to wait long since her companions already left for CLSU.


So there at Bay 4 Terminal 3 airport my sister waited for us to get her. At first my brother didn't see her. Funny because he walked past her. Anyway, glad my sister is ok even after her bumpy trip. She told me there were plenty of turbulence and her flight was delayed for an hour because it was raining in Bangkok. I can see she was pretty tired because she slept the whole time we're on the bus going back home. And when we got home, she slept some more. I did, too. :)


I got the bag and the bookmarks I asked as pasalubong. Yay! Lots of food and knick knacks. She also received pretty gifts from her new friends in Thailand. Sweet! There were also nice clothes she got while she was there.


It's a few more days before she goes back to school again. It has been a pretty busy but interesting happy summer for her. As for me, I'm thankful to the Lord that my sister is home and is well.

A Hope For A Debt-Free Existence



I recently read a book about how I can manage my finances better. I believe that buying the book is one of my Eureka moments. It's a cheap book, actually a slim pocketbook that I read in just one sitting. It may be so but I learned plenty from it.

The author made it humurous and some of his examples were based in his own experiences. There were 7 strategies that he mentioned in his book and these are: 1) save, 2) give, 3) get out of debt and stop borrowing, 4) live simply, 5) magsipag, magnegosyo, 6)invest and 7) educate yourself. And also what I love about the book are the encouraging words from the Bible.


After reading the book, I made a decision that I'll be consitent on saving money to my bank account every pay day. I have to get out from all the debts I have. I must learn to live simply and continue my little sideline at Avon. In time, I can invest to have my own business -- God's will. I will educate myself more about how to successfully manage my finances. These are what I would like to achieve, not tomorrow but perhaps soon. But I really have to start NOW!

Btw, if you are interested about the book, it's entitled "Ang Pera na Hindi Bitin" and it was written by Eduardo O. Roberto, Jr. I got the book from an OMF bookstore.
I guess this is the one I'm not fond of listening to... I just don't know why.
