For some people money is power, and for them money is everything. Money makes the world go round. If you try to take away money from people, what do you think will happen? It’s like taking away lives because as of now it’s hard to live without money, in any walks of life and in every move you need money, money and money, that’s the power of money. Money can make you alive and money can also kill you. Money can make you happy and it can also make you sad. Just like me, when I have plenty of money, I’m very generous and I have a lot of friends, I’m willing to spend bigger amount for our gigs and treat them everywhere just to make them happy. Time runs very fast, so as money comes to me. I never realized that, how quicker money comes, the quicker money goes. As days go by my relationship with my friends are beginning to dissolve because for them it’s not the same Corlito that has a lot of money before that they knew. That is what money can do, it can affect everything especially relationships. That experienced, for me was a day of infamy, it’s like a crime for me, not spending my money wisely.
I can’t imagine what happened to me now… Where are my friends now? A lot of my friends changed, but there are few who remained and to you guys I thank you very much for being here and to all your support and words of encouragement that I can regain what is being lost. You are my true friends dudes!
In this world, its not only money that matters. It is God, the most important! We should not always be worry about money, don’t be dependent on it. War of money in this world is not permanent because time will come when we will not be needing money to live.
Don’t abuse money, use it wisely!
Do you know that cost of tuition fee doubles every five years?
As always said, education is the key to success. It is the best legacy that parents can give to their children, but why is it education too expensive nowadays? Schools that offering a quality education does really offer a “quality ” education? Are parents, still paying the right cost for tuition fee?
There were many questions that parents need to answer in choosing the right school for their kids. Many factors are need to be considered in which the biggest factor is the tuition fee. Is it still affordable for a quality education that we want? Which do you prefer a private or a public school? Parents send their children to school in order to learn and be educated. Public schools are offering free tuition fee for elementary and high school level and some are offering a scholarship or a lower tuition fee in college level. How about in private schools? Parents who have enough budget prefer to send their children into a private school, they are willing to pay higher tuition fees for exchange of what they believe “quality education”.
Kids would not stop growing and as they grow, parents will be meeting a lot of expenses, primarily education expenses and the tuition fee represents only 1/3 of the total education expenses the rest is on miscellaneous expense such as books, uniforms, school requirements and daily allowances.
Due to inflation rate, maybe the reason for tuition fee increase in private schools, which are not controllable by the government is that to offer an increase for teacher’s salary, in order for them to motivate and do their teaching job effectively so that they can give a quality education for the students. Sad to think that many of our good teachers as of now are applying to work abroad as a domestic helper or a care giver because of not having enough salary to sustain their family needs. They prefer to do that instead of practicing their profession in exchange of higher salary. Another reason maybe, why they should increase tuition fees is for school facilities improvement especially their laboratories. And lastly, maybe for the school to make more profit. Huh!
In the Philippines 1 out of 4 is out of school youth, not everybody can afford to have a quality education or even just to go to school and learn how to read and write. So, what do you think will happen if most of Filipinos were not educated? Are we still going to succeed? Many are hoping that government could do something about it ( tuition fee increase ) and school administrators should be considerate in increasing the cost of tuition fee because everybody wants a quality education, but not everybody can afford it!
A certain amount of anxiety is to be expected when endure great stress. But at least some of this concern may be allayed if we bear in mind these word of Jesus: “Stop being anxious about your souls as to what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your bodies as to what you will wear…..Keep on, then, seeking first the kingdom and (God’s) righteousness, and all these other things will be added to you.” (Matt. 6:25, 33, 34) It is proper to make effort to solve a problem. After we have done what we can, however, worry cannot take the place of prayer. (Ps. 37:5) Paul wrote: “Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving let your petition be made known to God; and the peace of God that excel all though will guard your heart and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” -Phil. 4:6,7. w07 7/15 3:15,16
Running a business is not an easy task, it requires a lot of knowledge, experience, patience determination and perseverance. It is easy to open a business but a tough job to handle and maintain its profitability.
We have a family business, my parents managed it for more than a two decades, they managed it , since they were still young and capable in handling it. It is a manufacturing business. We are into ” Bagoong ” making.
I also experienced managing my own business. I started doing a business when I was 20 years old. It was an ART business, doing some T-shirt printing, streamers, even charcoal and oil painting. I started the business with only small capital and because I enjoy and love doing that business, it became profitable my capital grew because of many customers having some repeat orders. I also ventured with my two good friends Stephen and Freddie who were also a good artists. As years pass by, we separated ways, I went into an entertainment business, Stephen entered into the world of computer, and Freddie, was into a Photo studio business.
Going back into our family Bagoong business, because of mismanagement of my mother, over spending of my father, our family business slowly became insolvent. Many of our customers turned back because they’re complaining about the quality of our product. They were not satisfied to its quality. One big factor that caused our bankruptcy was when my parents got sick. Almost all of our capital went in paying the hospital bills and buying medicines. Many debts are not paid. Interest on loans accumulated, making it hard for us to pay. As their only son,I’m the only one responsible to take charge in handling the business. Unfortunately, the business that I was about to handle was a bankrupt business where in I was about to closed it. But I gave it another try, hoping to regain what is lost. It was not easy for me at the start because I don’t have knowledge in ” Bagoong ” making but because of my determination and willingness to learn, I learned! I focused and hands on that’s why business is doing good now, we gain our lost customers and sales are bigger now. Thanks to our almighty God for giving me strength and hope to continue.
Business is like a wheel, you need to spin it to keep on turning so that it will not be flat and stop turning. It is like a wheel because business is sometimes up and sometimes down.
When I was a child, I used to dream on travelling the whole world and I could say that I still do it at this time of my life. Who does not want to travel anyway? Everyone of us want it. Travelling is one way, or should I say the best way to explore different places, traditions and of course different people. It is the mixture of gaining knowledge and having fun. Having a good travel adventure needs a lot of factors. First, you must have a good choice of place to travel, second, must have the important things to bring and lastly, the best travel agency or transportation. You must know their services and capabilities to take you to your destination safely. It is important for us to first consider our safety because we don’t want anything bad to happen or even to ruin our adventure trip.
Now a days, having a healthy lifestyle is not that easy. Due to our modern technologies, like television, DVDs, cellphones, ipod video games, PSP and personal computers, many are not paying attention in having and maintaining healthy lifestyle. Most of us are indulge in using computers, not only because it’s entertaining but also it’s informative. That is why many people are intend to stay late at night to be in front of the computer chatting or surfing instead of having an adequate sleep. This could really affect our health. An 8 – 10 hours sleep is very recommended in having a healthy lifestyle. Our body works that is why we need to take an adequate rest. Sleeping is the best form of rest where in we can regain energy. Eating the right kinds of food, having a well balance diet, exercise and not smoking are some steps in having a healthy lifestyle.
Although we already knew the simple or basic steps in having a healthy lifestyle,some are still not paying attention in having it. Like me, I thought that I’m physically fit , until one day, I felt something strange, I felt so tired and dizzy I also have pain in my neck, that’s why I asked my wife to accompany me to the nearest hospital to see a doctor and do some laboratory tests. First they got my blood pressure. It was 140 over 100. omg! it was high! A blood test was done to check the level of my cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid, FBS, and CBC. All results were normal except for my cholesterol. I was surprised that my cholesterol level is above normal, meaning its too high at my age, because knowing that I’m not that fat, and I don’t eat too much fatty foods, I like fruits and vegetables and I prefer fish rather than meat, still my cholesterol was high. I thought that I’m a healthy one. My doctor said that my lifestyle before and some hereditary factors are the cause of my high cholesterol level. The fats from the foods that I ate was accumulated for many years. I’m so dejected to hear that.
Although I’m maintaining my healthy lifestyle today, the result of my lifestyle before affects my health now. So, if you really want to stay healthy or be healthy better start it now. It is also important to see your doctor and have a full medical examination at least once a year to be sure that you’re healthy and in perfect shape. Don’t be so sure that you’re healthy even if you don’t feel anything strange. To make sure, seek your doctor’s advice because prevention is better than cure. Be aware and stay healthy!
As a businessman and an artist I must stay fit and healthy to perform all my duties. So I better beat my high cholesterol. I know I can make it so as you dude! Start having a healthy lifestyle.
Have you seen this picture before? Perhaps on my friendster account and on my other website. Before I use this here in my post, someone already grabbed it from my friendster account and post it in his website without my knowing. I was shocked when I saw this picture in his friendster and on other website.
Now I knew that in blogging, everything is possible, grabbing others picture, using other write-ups or videos and posting it on their website using it for their own good without permission from the owner, not knowing by the readers who really owns it, until they’ll found out who’s the real author of it. some bloggers although they grabbed some post, still they acknowledge the author and even published the author’s site….to them I salute!!!!
I’m only new in this blogging industry, still exploring and stepping others right is not my priority, just like my experienced, someone used my name and my photo claiming that he’s my friend and he knows me a lot and believes in me but misspelled my name.. is that a joke? hehehe. omg! I felt bad about that =(
For me, being a responsible blogger, it would be nice to be careful and honest in your every post. Your blog is a reflection of your personality if you’re a true blogger. Sometime in the future, if they’ll be some advertisers who will advertise in this site, I’ll be glad and make sure that a hundred percent original content will be post. So, in return they will be grateful and satisfied.
Blogger be true to yourself!
