[Press Release] Family Finances Workshop (Sept. 20, 2014)

Image
If we only had to look out for ourselves in this world, then managing our money would be easy, but the truth is we don’t. We all live in a household – some with their parents, some with their own families and other live with both. With our limited resources and endless needs, it is important that families learn to work together in order to ensure a bright and secure financial future. It takes a certain amount of planning and a lot of cooperation from the rest of the family. So where do we start? Sign up for Ready to Be Rich: Family Finances and learn how manage and balance your family’s budget today! This workshop is for: • Couples who are finding it hard to budget their income to sustain the needs of their family. • Breadwinners who are taking care of their parents, or involved in elder care at home. • Single parents who are finding it hard to achieve work-life balance. • Newlyweds who would like to know how to become financially independent from their parents. • ...

Setting Up for a Party

It's a tiring task prepping for a birthday party, or any kind of party specially when you do it your own. I love to party, but I wanted to do it with my personal touch. I prepare all the foods, decors and everything. But when it comes to huge party preparations, I asked for some help from my relatives and friends. When the number of guests exceeds 20, it's time for me to do the renting out of tables and chairs. Good thing is that when you rent out, they already provide sets of table cloth for the table. I just hope that they have this kind of cloth,  a spandex fitted stretch tablecloth  to look more elegant despite the simplicity.

Palawan’s Chaolong now available in Quezon City.

Image
A Long time ago, Puerto Princesa City became a sanctuary for Vietnamese people who sail away through seas from their homeland to avoid the unbearable war, some of it landed in the shore land of Palawan to its capital. It became their shelter for many years, and in return they introduce to the Palawenyos their famous cuisine, the French Bread Sandwich and the Chaolong. In early 90’sit became a huge cottage industry in the City that no major intersection you can’t find a Chaolong house. Chao-long has its two variety, the Pork (Buto-Buto) noodles and Beef Stew that is commercially available.  It is fascinating because of its ingredients that most Filipinos find it uncommon for noodles, like the rice strands noodles, monggo sprouts, carrots, eucalyptos leaves, and its unique soup and seasonings. Chaolong somehow became a staple food for Palawenyo’s and a relief after hard drinking session. There are attempts in the past to some businessman to bring Chaolong in Manila, but du...

3 Ways to Maintain a Happy, Long-Lasting Marriage

Image
Wise words from a wise man. Jeff Bridges has been married to his wife Susan for nearly four decades, all while working in an industry known for its failed marriages: Hollywood. So it makes sense that Thursday, while doing a Reddit Ask Me Anything, the Academy Award winner was questioned about his secret to marital success. "I read that you've been married to your wife since 1977. To what do you  attribute the success of your marriage in an industry notoriously hard on relationships?" the redditor asked. In response, Bridges revealed three ways to maintain a happy, long-lasting marriage. 1. Loving someone means supporting them. "This industry is tough on relationships. I've always thought that my wife should have a credit up alongside mine, because I couldn't do what I do without her support. And like the questioner asked, or said, we've been married since 1977, we knew each other for 2 years before that, so she's been able to do all these fil...
