What's the IN business for this year?

(Photo courtesy of campusaccess.com)
Let's face it! The Philippine economy and the world financial status aren't that good right now. There are a lot of jobs being cut-off, the economy in every country is in recession, dollar markets are not that good anymore, and companies are shutting down here and there. So, what's next? Come to think of it, we all have our poverty deadline, right?

In these times of struggling economy, quitting your job isn't a good idea, really. But having another job or business is a good thing. It can help your financial status more stable, and perhaps, more secure in the long run. A lot of feng shui experts say, especially when new year comes, that the start of the year is always a good start to have your own business. I do agree in some parts, because a new year signifies a new start, and starting your own business gives a positive vibration.

Juan Luna House, Ilocos Norte Trip!

The Ilocos Trip series saga that I had last year is still incomplete. What is traveling to Ilocos Region without ever visiting Ilocos Norte? If you are reading all of my Ilocos Tour Trip experience (all of them can be found here...) I only tackled Ilocos Sur. So for today, let us now go further north where the sun is hotter but beautiful places and sceneries are up for grabs — the Ilocos Norte!

And for our first feature of the Ilocos Norte, I present to you the house of a great Filipino painter, Juan Luna (yeah.. the statue is him!). Take a glimpse of Juan Luna's house in this one-of-a-kind picture trail tour of the Ilocos Norte! I hope you'll enjoy all of the pictures that I had taken! Hehehe...

New categories on TYC presented! Yay!

This post is just a reminder to everyone that I have included three more categories here on my blog as I promised. Hehehe. So, aside from the usual 8 categories, there are now 11 of them to choose from. The additional three categories are just a re-categorized past articles, but of course, there will be some new entries to follow in the coming days of the year. Hehehe. Rest assured, I will be putting interesting blog articles. The description of the new categories are as follows:

Presenting the new categories on TYC!

• HEALTHY LIVING. I usually find it too awkward to discuss on being healthy because, I, myself has a problem on this. But because I am trying to have a healthy lifestyle, I will focus this particular category on things like health news, or some tips on losing some weight. Yeah. Most probably. I am trying to involve myself to lose some. Hahaha.

• MONEY MATTERS. You want money? Guess what? Me too! So, together, maybe we cant focus on making some. Hehehe. In this category, making money online, logical means of making money, practical ways on saving up and everything about money, are just some of the topics that will be discussed under here. But of course, money isn't about everything! It is just a medium. Naks!

• WEB WATCHING. And so, this is the category place that you will go to here on TYC if you want to read about the coolest websites in town! Yep! This category focuses on websites that I already featured in the past and soon I will be featuring some more! Hahaha... There are a lot of websites out there that needs to be recognized, and the only way for them to be recognized is for someone who can feature them on their blog or websites, just like mine. lols.

Aside from the three new categories, I re-categorized some of my entries as well. You can find some of them having 2-3 categories under its title. Isn't that a great move? Hehehe... It's now easier to browse the different categories and the previous articles that I have written. I wanted a random article generator for my blog to feature some of my best read and past blog articles. But because I cannot create one sooner (I hope I can make a program on that!), putting up some new categories is the best I can think of right now! Enjoy browsing!

On being vegetarian, vegetarianism and ecosystem!

Last week, one of my supervisors here in our office received a mail from PETA. It was a couple of photos showing young actress Yasmien Kurdi encouraging everyone to go vegetarian by not eating chicken and other meat. One of the photos was showing Kurdi inside a chicken cage implying "try to relate to who is on your plate".

Incidentally, yesterday, I was browsing my twitter page when I found a message by jehzlau sharing a link on Yasmien Kurdi's going vegetarian photos. Now this gave me an indication or a trigger to write something on this vegetarianism thingie, so that people would know what my insights or side on this topic. By the way, Yasmien Kurdi is a young star in the Philippines if you may want to know.

How to secure your internet banking transactions?

A few days ago, BPI Magazine, the official newsletter of BPI Express Online, sent me an email about how to secure your internet banking transactions. As you may want to know, I am subscribed to their online newsletter to inform me on the latest happenings on their website and whatever perks and freebies awaits me. In this way, I am aware on everything about the Bank of Philippine Islands (BPI). Below is the email that was sent to me and it is worthy of information dissemination. But before that, a little information on internet banking tansactions.

You don't even have to worry about traffic and long queues when paying! It is really a convenient way to pay without the hassle.
