It's Monday once again!

Monday's are meeting day for me. We had video showing this morning and the message from the video we watched was that we should learn to forgive others, not so much that we make amends with the one who hurt us but that we will find more peace within our soul. Another thing is, we must strive to reach our dreams and goals in life. And in pursuit of our dreams, we must remember that relationship with others is far more important that gaining the whole fortune of the world.

Financial Turmoil

I have been with the financial industry for the past 20 years of my life and have seen the ups and downs of the Philippine economy and the world. But this time, it is the worst so far. My friends and clients have been complaining of low sales, low investment or negative returns and low bank interest deposit rates and negative stock market returns. All I can say is, for as long as the price of petrol will not go down, things will not change for the better. I believe that many of the big time investors are putting their money on the petrol commodity. That's why its been up and up all the way.

London Vacation

The vacation I had with my family in London was one of the best things that happened in my life. I never dreamed of travelling to London with my family but with God's grace, He made it happen. Time spent with the family are one of the best times spent in my life.

My motto in life has always been "Seek first the kingdom of God and all the rest will follow".
