I guess it is part of the culture.. There are also a lot of Filipinos who are undecided on what course they are going to take after high-school... But I just wanted to add that there are some students that in the middle of their course they could embrace their course because they see the beauty of the course or any other reasons... I wanted to add some more but I have a class now... This one is a great article… actually I’m a fourth year student taking computer science right now.. I guess it is part of the culture..

Maybe you have some supernatural hearing powers. But for some (like my pops), they can't understand it. My point is that one does not need to understand the lyrics to enjoy music (whatever genre the music belongs to). Sure, for you. Maybe you have some supernatural hearing powers.

We share the same sentiments! If I become president, the first thing that I'll do is declare war on Spain! The Filipino people, in general, are suffering from a nationwide disease: inferiority complex. For 333 years (and some more years after that), people from other lands came to our country and enslaved us. It's time to redeem our pride; change our name and declare war on Spain. EPIC blog post!

]]> Comment on Fighting Inflation with Investment or Why I Decided to Invest or My Financial Enlightenment by Kit http://blog.ianuy.com/2010/08/02/fighting-inflation-with-investment-or-why-i-decided-to-invest-or-my-financial-enlightenment/comment-page-1/#comment-1394 Kit Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:00:43 +0000 http://blog.ianuy.com/?p=872#comment-1394 Ian, Kit here from SLC :). It's good to know that more and more working-class salary earners are getting better at financial literacy. Even OFWs today, as compared to the past, are making it a point to actually come home for good and enjoy their passive income. One sad observation, though, is that I think there is still a significant number of our local high-earners (e.g. call-center agents) who do not know this yet. I hope I'm not pre-empting your next post :), but yeah, it has to start somewhere. My mindset for starting out is to save some liquidity for a rainy day (or even a modest self-reward splurge day) in an accessible instrument (e.g. savings bank account). Eventually that account will exceed a threshold where you think you've got some "spill-over" that you don't need. That spill-over can then be used to start a medium-risk, medium-liquidity, medium-return instrument, such as a mutual fund. Over time, you'll get more spill-overs regularly, thanks to disciplined regular saving. Then you'll want to engage in higher-risk, higher-return investments, such as stocks. There, my two centavos :) Ian, Kit here from SLC :) . It's good to know that more and more working-class salary earners are getting better at financial literacy.
