finance genius


Paris…

Will you just be a dream or will I be making you a reality?

Hmnn… honestly, I can make it a reality. It just requires a lot of patience and “eatless” or “laagless” weekends. If I get lucky, I can fund for it in no time through saving up. It’s a viable option. In fact, it’s reachable. I can if I want to.

But… my hands are tight. You see, at this point in time, my priorities are abruptly changed. Kung dati, I take my finances too lightly, like I spend for travels here and there, isang bonus lang yan solve na. Now it’s different. I am taking in charge of a responsibility. Mahirap pala.

Sure, I can spend for travels now more than ever pero iba na. I’ve got immediate obligations na di pwedeng palampasin. Ang weird nga, I always feel insufficient. Like I want to buy this gadget but I end up pulling myself back up because meron pang dapat unahin kesa ganito or ganyan.

Mahirap mag assume ng responsibilidad. It’s not as if I am being selfish pero to put the burden in your shoulders all at the same time, nakamamatay. It adds up to the stress. I don’t want naman to be passive when I know I can do something about it.

Di lang talaga maiwasan na parang ang bigat, mahirap magbudget, mahirap isipin ang bukas kasi someone is counting on you. I just can’t drop everything like a hot potato kasi nga merong umaasa.

I feel sorry for them because when I was younger, I haven’t got major concerns like schooling in general. Kung meron akong concern before, it boils down to my baon. Kulang. Haha

My mum’s a finance genius. I regard her as an intelligent matsing kasi kahit gaano kaliit ang sweldo before, she take notice even up to the last cents. That’s why, growing up, we were taught not to point a goody or two pag nasa mall or tindahan kami, or else, husay pag uwi ng bahay. My mum’s very frugal. Todo. One bar of soap for a month, then there’s 5 of us using that. How? Well, it’s family’s secret. Haha

Now, my time has come to prove myself for this noble cause, I hope to be a finance genius too. Hay sana naman!

So sa ngayon, hay Paris, you’re so near yet so far, set aside ka muna.

Friendship is spelled with END

As much as we want to take old friends with us to the next level, sometimes, it’s better to just leave them as they are. I have always been a very loyal friend. The type to make an enemy of someone who messes up with my friend. I’d like to think that that’s just how I view friendships – worth protecting for. I am usually cool. I don’t take things like everything is such a big deal. I’ve never been that problematic friend with various issues. However, with the recent friendship situation that I am in, I am reconsidering the type of friend I am and exactly the type of friend I have. As a friend, I am slow to process anger. I get annoyed, yes, but most of my friends don’t really get the gravity of what I’m feeling because I don't show it. Normally, I take a step back and process it on my own. But not anymore. I have made a vow to myself. With relationships, romantic or friendship, I would never compromise my own emotions. I refuse to be the absorber. I refuse to be a doormat

Thanksgiving weekend

It’s the thanksgiving weekend! I can't believe I am now part of this celebration being strategically planted here. I love this season. It incites gratefulness. In a world where people become highly entitled to anything, we look deeper within ourselves and realize that it’s not the world’s obligation to give us anything. In fact, and to put it bluntly, the world does not owe us anything. And with this comes the appreciation that you were chosen, you were blessed, you were fortunate to be given the opportunity to receive something. Maybe you did something right or maybe you got lucky? Either way, the fact that not everyone gets the same favor, nudges you to remain grounded and grateful. A few months ago, I met with old friends. I was happy to share my journey here in Canada. As the conversation got deeper, I was asked, “Are you not planning to move to the US?”, I was literally speechless. I was unable to answer. I smiled. It’s not the question that is hard to answer, it is th
