My Cup of Tee

Image
+ Updated my iPad to iOs7.2. There's something off with the whole thing though. I don't want vivid, super contrasted icons. Can I adjust the brightness and contrast? I like the minimalist feel though. + Okay, it's official. I am getting into grad school! Tomorrow's the first day of class. I hope I can still do the things that I need to do -- online jobs + offline jobs. I guess I have to give up the daily blog and just blog here. =/ + Finally found my cup of tees -- Culture Tees! I was supposed to buy 3 and get Php100 discount, but the boyf was there, a consistent hindrance to my shopping sprees. He told me to wait for my GCs (worth Php3000 which I won on a Globe Blog Post Contest). He made sense so I agreed. + He also bought a Beverly Hills Polo Club Shirt which looks good on him. He saw it first, but I still claimed that it was my choice.  via + And tonight  at this wee hour in the morning I leave you a quote, a happy quote f

10 Life Lessons I Learned From Surfing for the First Time

Image
So, last epic weekend, I went to Baler to surf and go home the next day to catch some discs (Frisbee Tourney). I have been longing to surf for quite some time now. Actually, it was since Blue Crush 2 . After watching it, I sort of fell in love with the surfing lifestyle. After that, I pinned pictures of surfers, seeming to be breathing in the salty breeze which was in reality, just the air between me and my laptop. I even landed this web content writing job for an online surf store. Yes, I wanted to try it out so bad. So last Saturday, I did and it was divine. A fellow traveler was even wearing her contact lenses while she surfed. Her friends were alarmed when they knew, but nothing bad happened. I suggest you take off eyeglasses or contact lenses when you go surfing just to be sure. :) I realized surfing is pretty much like life. Why, you ask. Here's why. To get a grip, waxing is sort of necessary. If you have a new board or if your board is slippery and all, you need t

From $5 to $50, A message to All Filipino Freelancers

Image
Out of desperation and the quest for a better life, I have worked on ways on how to increase my earnings on my writings. But, I failed. I am close on giving up on my dream when the I stumbled into this video. Aaah, the benefits of subscribing to great people. I should suggest benefitof.net  to do an article on this one, eh? If you're a freelancer and you're looking for ways on how to increase your $5 per article or per hour into $50 per article and per hour, then this video was made for you. Thoughts: ★  I thank God for creating selfless people like Celine . Teaching her fellow Filipino freelancers on how to get the pay the we deserve. Magagaling naman talaga ang mga Pinoy ah and we can compete worldwide. ★  After 11 jobs and time squeezing, I don't think I earn the pay that I deserve. Baha. And I am not even finished yet. And I have to buy boardshorts later.  ★  I think it's time for me to level up in my oDesk charge. ★  I think it's ver

To the Financial Advisors Congress, Off We Go

Image
The best things in life are free, but our necessities are not. Moreover, some necessities are impossible to achieve given our current income (and fellow workers') trend or lifestyle, except if some were born rich or have sidelines and businesses. Now, how can you buy your very own Altima or Accord   if you can't save up for just a flat screen TV set? As for me, I have just decided to control my finances, while exploring ways of how to invest my money, how to increase my cash flow (not necessarily income) and how to help others in the process. :) The point of this whole blog post is just my announcement of attending the Financial Advisors Congress this coming October! The Financial Advisors Congress is a one-day conference for wealth managers, financial planners, private bankers, trust officers, securities brokers, insurance brokers, investment solicitors and other professionals who give financial advice and sell financial products.  Attending the conference woul

On the Quality of Your Life: Be Contented or Strive for More?

Image
Unconsciously, all people will choose to be on a pedestal rather than on the floor when it comes to life. I know you want the best quality   of life that you can possibly give yourself, your family and your friends. It is human instinct. I know you agree. See, I have seen modern, revolutionary religious speakers like Bo Sanchez who have the same vision that I have: earn more in order to help more . To live a life abundant of faith, love, humility and yes, finances . They know that money is not their god, but they know that money can help them in serving other people. They know very well that Jesus is in control of our lives, that He will help us in our daily needs -- that is only if we do something by ourselves and not just patiently wait inside our houses. Good things come to those who wait (my previous mantra). But, the best things come to those who DO.  We are not supposed to do nothing but expect something.  Blessings wouldn't come pouring out on you if you don
