Back in the ancient times, we all know that people used to barter goods in the absence of a currency that will enable them to purchase what they need. But since gold bars are very heavy, what people did was to leave it in churches as they say, and was then issued a piece of paper giving an account of how much gold was stored by that person. Sounds like banking, eh? Read more…

I guess I’m just plain hormonal right now, thus, I’m feeling lonesome. Or perhaps I’m just tired and sleepy and mostly out of sorts and I’m confusing that with feeling lonely. Best not to talk right now when I myself am having a hard time figuring out what I’m feeling, what I want to do with my life and what I want for myself.
Let me just leave you with an equally lonely song.

The Philippine Social Security System is currently allowing employers to pay off delinquent loans of their employees until June 30, 2011. What it does is it allows employees to pay off just the principal without the add on rate for the penalties. If you previously applied for a loan and are not sure if it has been completely paid off especially if you transferred to another company, it would be best to check. It is crucial that payment is made otherwise, you might encounter problems later on when it comes to claiming your social security benefits. You can either check it online or proceed to the nearest SSS office in your place of residence or work and check. You can also check if your employer is remitting your contributions in a timely manner.
Again, if you have loans with SSS in the past, check if it has been completely paid out, you might be surprised to find out how much it ballooned to had your employer or previous employer failed to zero out the balance when they were all the while taking off the amount in your monthly pay check.

Our house is a bungalow 2 bedroom house with 2 toilet and bath, a typical choice for starting families. We’re actually renting the place from a relative. Yesterday, I saw a friend’s house through her Facebook albums and it was just really inspiring how she transformed their house into a really cozy abode from a simple bungalow house. Then, I thought of suddenly embarking on a house makeover project. I guess not this year, but perhaps next year. We have to finish up paying all our liabilities for now and start building our savings. There are a lot of things that I wanted to design, like a contemporary sofa, a book shelf, side tables, kitchen cabinet and so the list goes on. That is why it would be wise to put it off for now, and better break it down to smaller, achievable plans. Dang, I’m still talking about SMART goals even if I’m talking about things to do at home. Anyway, for now, I’ll just have to do with reading through back issues of Real Living magazines.
