Killing Time

Yesterday was a day well spent.  It enough of that.  Hopefully the next weekend will be the same. In any case, I'm going to be writing about new investment learning after tomorrow because I'm going to be meeting up with my friend's mom.

Meanwhile I am thinking that my fool proof expenses stoplight should be along the lines of, "it should be less than 10% of the money that I deposited".  So if I want to spend something, and if it's less than 10% of what I deposited, then I guess I can spend on it.

And then I was thinking, it's going to be hard. I actually have my budget for extra expenses. It's mostly for when I have to buy Alex something for school which almost, always happens. It's like she always has something to buy, and if I don't budget for that then I'm dead.

So expenses wise, I'm pretty much safe. I could cover for a certain amount each time I spend the weekend out. I also have budget for extra expenses and then I have a set amount that goes into my savings account.  Now I have to admit I have a little bit of a draw back because of the money I owe ate Christy.  That money should have been paid by the end this year, but to no avail.  That's because of the expenses I incurred is Christmas. I took my mom and daughter out for a movie, I bought cake for the household, not to mention I spent a total of almost 3500 on gifts!!! And for only four children!

Unbelievable! It's a trap! It's a trap I tell you.  If I don't have that money, I wouldn't even think about spending that money. But because I KNOW I have money, i felt that it was okay. So now, I should prevent myself from spending any money. So here's the deal. I'm supposed to do some really important things like follow up the TV I won. That's for extra money so that I can dump that onto my bank account.  It's just irritating me that it's taking too long for e company to fork over the TV! Geez I you didn't want us to have the TV why did you even bother to raffle the damn thing off? It's totally hurting you credibility as a company.

The Real Challenges in Life

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Cynthia Maipid < cmaipid@gmail.com > Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2012 18:30:33 +0800 Subject: The Real Challenges in Life To: cmaipi.ondgo@blogspot.com I learned in a retreat that I attended that the Christian Life is not a life of fun and games. It is not a bed of roses. It is a battlefield. Man, is that ever true. This I know. I am currently encountering several battles. The biggest right now is my husband. My husband is Christian. He is what you call a backslider. See, I'm Catholic. I don't know what approach to take in helping get back to God. But I was told that prayers work wonders. I haven't been praying properly, I admit. And now is the time that I must learn to do that. I am afraid of that the time will come that my husband and my daughters will not be saved. And so I need to pray for them. I vowed to attend church every sunday and even that is becoming a struggle. I must think of a new way to fix my schedule in such a way ...

Talk About a Million Stress

It's so tiring what they're doing to us. The company offered to let most of the agents go on the promise of paying them a voluntary retirement package.  That's all nice for the agents because whether they take it or not, they will still receive it when the company says they can go. But for the team leads, it's a different story. To begin with, only 8 team leads can avail of the package.  Anyone else who wants to go can go by resigning.  It's so painful because they dropped the bomb on us by saying that whoever wants to avail of the package may avail of the package, and they're not going to limit it just because we've gone over the required number of people. The next day, they tell us, no we can't let everyone go. We can only afford to make 8 stay.  Well, right now, I'm the eighth. And the more painful part? Someone who needs it more than I do ( i need it, too, and she needs it just as much, if not more)  won't be able to get it. Tal...

Because I Can

Well, yes, I'm not blogging because I have something to say, actually I'm just blogging because I can do so. Anyway, I got up today pretty hungry. Considering we had lunch at Tramway. The food was awesome, but I was able to have only 2 courses. Next time I go, I'm going to make sure I get a dose of everything! Oh, and I'll be wearing a big shirt! You know, for emergency purposes. I'm still pretty sleepy right now but Tyrese woke me up, saying that she was hungry. So I had to go and cook some rice. Which by the way I realized that she did not wake me up for food originally. She woke me up because she pooped. well, i'm just waiting for the rice to cook so I can eat cause I'm hungry, too.
