Feeds

I bungled my Feedburner. I was afraid I did something wrong to it because for a few days, it was showing a 0 number of feed subscribers when before that happened, I have around 62. Thank goodness, I found the culprit already. It was a plugin I installed and well, it played havoc to my feeds. Basta, you better check the plugin first before you install it. And be careful with all those buttons that you will click. You just never know when an error will occur.

Where to park your car

You know how most people find it hard to find a parking spot when they badly need one. I experienced that already. Several of my friends are experiencing the same thing. The city is already filled with skyscrapers and other types of structures. I think most of the owners of these structures forgo the need for a spacious parking lot. What’s irritating is that, most houses and offices are also scarcely equipped with parking spaces.

If you are having a hard time looking for a parking space at your place of work, or at home, or at a place you frequent, I suggest you go look for Garages for rent. There are a lot of these places listed at Parklet.co.uk from which you can choose from. Get a garage that is nearest the place you frequent. Or nearest your place of work. This way, you won’t have to worry about where to park, especially when you are in a hurry and parking your car is the only thing holding you up. Or there are days when you can be late for work just because you can’t park your car. Happened to a lot of people already and it can happen to you. Go now and get a garage for rent at Parklet.co.uk now.

Weekend plans

I don’t intend to go out this weekend. I just want to be able to relax and read. Been reading regularly again. I bought the 3 Twilight books (Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse) even though I already read the books through my ebook reader. I also bought a Julia Quinn book, a Reader’s Digest special edition, 4 interesting books that will hopefully bring my muse back hehe and a cute little notepad

That will surely keep me busy this whole weekend. How about you? Going out or doing something special this weekend?

Whatever, here’s hoping a great weekend for everyone!

Double your money

Do you have any intentions of doubling your money? How about investing it in something that will surely increase in value over time? Like silver perhaps. I know of some people who invests their money in precious metals. How about silver then? If you are worried that you might buy fake silver, then I suggest you seek the help of the experts. You can purchase silver coins or ingot from the Monex Deposit Company, the company known for helping people find legitimate gold, silver and other precious metals. They have been in this business for over 30 years now so more or less, they know how to spot a fake versus an original silver. Go and visit them at Monex.com and know more about their expertise.

Food Friday: Sisig

I love Sisig! Whenever we go to Gerry’s Grill or Dencio’s, expect a sizzling plate of sisig to be ordered. According to Wikipedia…

Sisig is a Kapampangan term which means “to snack on something sour”. Sisig as is popularly known today is actually sizzling sisig, a Philippine dish made from parts of pig’s head, liver and usually seasoned with kalamansi and chili peppers.

I actually didn’t know that Sisig is a Kapampangan term. Well, figures anyway. Kapampangans are the best when it comes to food.

Happy Friday everyone and have a great weekend!

Providing for the family

I worry a lot. It may be the paranoid in me but there are days when I worry I will not be able to provide for my family. You see, I work at home. And you know how it is when your income depends on how hard you work. There are times when even working hard could result to lower income. I know there are payday loans that I can avail of should my budget fall short. Still, I cannot help but worry at times. Anyway, I know that no matter how worried I get, I will still do everything I can in my power to work hard and bring food to the table.

The risk of lending money

There are times when the person you least expect to betray you happens to be the very person who will do it to you. Get my drift? Well, a friend of mine did that to me. It was almost a year ago when he talked to me, asking to borrow money. I normally don’t allow this but since he was a very close friend of mine, I lent him some. Well, I should have just told him to go and apply for a cash advance rather than lend him the money myself. It will be a year by end-June and I haven’t heard from him since. I was hurt, to say the least. But well, I took the risk and I just have to suffer the consequence.

I suggest that instead of borrowing money from family or friends, there is a cash advance facility available for a person. Impersonal yet very helpful. Try that first before anything else.

Affordable healthcare insurance

These days, getting sick would mean shelling out a lot of money. I should know. With two deaths in the family caused by sickness, financing a hospitalization is something that I never wanted to go into again. That’s why a health insurance is a must now for us. My brother and my mom had none so we really shouldered everything. I am sure you know how costly cancer treatments are.

So if you want to be prepared just in case you suffer from a sickness, I suggest you get Health Insurance Quotes right away and choose the healthcare insurance for you. At BlindCntr.org, you will be asked to enter your zip code and from there, you will be connected to healthcare insurance agents in your area. Study and compare multiple offers. Know what would be the best coverage for you. Let BlindCntr.org help you prepare for the future.

Great tax news!

For all my Filipino blogger-friends who are working as a corporate rat here in the Philippines, well, I have some good news for you. Ready?

There will be no more tax deductions for minimum wage earners! Let us thank Mar Roxas for authoring Republic Act 9504. Yey!!!

The law was signed today declaring that for every minimum wage earner here in the Philippines, there will be no more tax deduction in your salaries. Now that is a big help for so many Filipinos earning minimum wage right now. Remember, when a tax law, ruling, regulation is changed within the year, it will become effective for the whole year. It means that for those people who are deducted with tax from their January to June 15th salaries, you can get a refund come December. For minimum wage earners only, okay?

Now, for those who are earning more than the minimum wage, there is a good news for you as well. The personal tax exemptions for single (Php20,000), head of the family (Php25,000) and married individuals (Php32,000) are now fixed to Php50,000! And an additional exemption for qualified dependents has been increased to Php25,000 per dependent from the previous Php8,000 per dependent.

To top it off, the senator added that all holiday, night differential, hazard, and overtime pay would also be tax-exempt.

Sweet!

That will reduce tax deductions by a significant amount. Expect tax refunds or lower tax deductions come November and December of this year people!

When I was still working as a corporate rat, my tax deduction could pay two assistants already. It was that painful to look at when I get my payslip. With this change in the tax table, I might be lured back to work as a corporate rat… Might is the operative word there hehe… If I will not go to work on Mondays, well, that will be a greater pull

*More information on the new tax bill here.

Republic Act 9504

Rumors are everywhere about the tax bill GMA will be signing into law It is the Republic Act 9504 or the tax bill that will exempt minimum wage earners from being taxed. This will be a big help for us Filipinos. There are so many minimum wage earners here in the country. The factory workers for one. You know how big in number they are. This bill, authored by Senator Mar Roxas, will save some money for the minimum wage earners. That money that would have been deducted as tax can now go to food and other basic necessities of a family. Let’s wait and see if it will really be signed into law today.
