Fixed Income Team Christmas Party

Last night was our dearest Team Christmas Party held in just one of the conference rooms in the office. It was my first Christmas with them and I did enjoy. Even if some of us were still not timed out from work, we still managed to celebrate the party with a blast.
Thank God there were no client queries to interrupt us in the middle of entertainment. We were like kids again that night. We all played games competitively as if it would add a portion to our salaries as a reward. I didn't win though.
We also have varieties of food that we're perfect to everyone. There's pizza, spaghetti, sausages, sushi and a lot more.

It's another treasure moments to cherish...

It feels so good to feel the spirit of Christmas!

Save VS Spend

There are only few days more till we say Hello to a Prosperous 2010.These holiday events are a lot of fun. We are all busy wrapping gifts, getting new clothes to wear, planning of reunions, renting a place for parties, and a lot more.
Unfortunately this holiday season can also end up costing us a lot if we aren’t careful.
Saving Money is good especially for the rainy days but it's really easier to be said than done. But there are a lot of ways on how we could help ourselves to save a little extra.
* Set Limit. - If we want to shop for something, consider having a limit on how much money we are willing to spend for a certain thing. Sometimes, we are just carried away with our unstoppable desires and we end up getting much more than what we really need.
* Selling our Old Stuff - Just look around the corner and we'll surely find something that still in good condition yet we don't need anymore. We could get money from selling it in a lesser price and use the money to buy something we need.
*Compare prices- Whenever we are in the groceries, shopping malls, or even doing online purchases, we all have the privileges to compare prices with the same products yet much cheaper from the other. But remember not to forget about the quality of products. And also keep in mind that not all expensive products are better than the cheaper one. Sometimes, it's just the brand.
*Don't take Magazines Voucher for granted. - We sometimes take for granted those friendly little coupon attached to magazine or other reading materials that would give us discounts in buying certain products. It’s time to watch out for coupons.
*Dress for Less - We all love to be fashionably attractive with the means of our attires. We tend to buy new clothes just for the sake of going to the flow. And we care less for the money we spend just to look good. But in order to save money, there are the means of Mix and Matches of Clothes.
We could re-use some accessories, clothes and even shoes for a different look. Just be creative in doing so. And you'll end up as if you're all brand new.
*Learn to say NO - With all the parties and gatherings around, we never say NO for it. There's nothing wrong in saying NO sometime especially if it would shed big amount of money. Yes, parties are good to mingle socially, but if it is done very often, our poor pockets will suffer too.

These are just some of the ways to SAVE money. Always remember, whatever we do today is what future will brings.

Brittany Murphy's death

I was shocked upon hearing the news that Brittany Murphy died at the age of 32.I used to watch her in 8 mile co-starred with Eminem when she had a very noticeably acting from there. She was also starred in Just Married Movie with Ashton Kuthcer.According to the readings, the sudden death of the actress appeared to be natural and there were no suspicious circumstances in her death.

Murphy grew up in New Jersey but born in Atlanta on Nov 10 1977 and was later moved to Los Angeles to fulfill her dreams.

A post for my BLOGGER friends.It's for all of you.

I've recovered almost all the URLs under my blogroll and see to it to drop on all my friend's pages whenever I'm online whether just for a visit or to drop EC. I've met a lot of gals and buddies through the art of blogging. I always enjoy reading almost every post my friends do, just for me to get to know every single one of them even just through their writings. How I wish i could possibly meet them personally and express my gratitude for helping me throughout the process when I was a newbie, I'm still a newbie though. Every time I asked for exlinks and get responded with a YES, it feels so good knowing I'll be having another friend. And every time my site is being included in another blogroll and when someone signed up for my follow list, I feel so overwhelmed and again, grateful! It would mean another friend who'll visit my page and check on updates. We all want opportunities online to make easy money and we're all grateful to advertisers for giving us those, but just a while ago, it occurred to me that more than anything else is important in this world, and that when you're having great friends, building good relationship towards people and above all, letting all your friends you're grateful to have them.
And I’m telling you, I'm grateful to have good friends around me, and really grateful to my blogger friends. We may not totally know each other, we may be beyond reach, but sharing moments through our own pages brought us all together to build our circle of friends.

I'm grateful to all of you guys for starting a friendship here over the net.
It feels so good whenever we dropped by and say hi to each other.

So let's all keep on doing our rounds and be grateful to everyone.

You could re-post it too if you feel grateful to your friends and to share LOVE.
**I'm tagging everyone especially my friends."

Never Pick up Strangers (The Hitcher)

I remember watching this film and it really made my day.It's about a young couple who hit the road for a trip when suddenly it turned to be an aspalling journey. Starring Zachary Knighton as (Jim Halsey) and Sophia Bush as (Grace Andrews).And from watching this film, I came to realized this ' Never pick up Strangers'.There are lot of cruel people in the world and sometimes you get to encounter them on the road. It's either you'll have a sweet travel or a very dangerous one.
Anyway,if you're looking for some suspense this cold season,The Hitcher is one of the best options to consider.

I'm really grateful to you friends!! See you in my list this December!

I wish I have more time.

I was speaking with a friend when finally I realized I haven't done shopping for Christmas because of work. My weekend will be roughly busy with other things to do, so it's clear enough that I would probably be on the rash a few days left before Christmas. How I wish I could just pull back time, so I could have been much better in time management. Oh well, we cannot turn back time. And speaking of time, I'm really running out of time to buy an exchange gift for our Christmas party this Monday.
The budget as required is now lower than 500 pesos. A Christmas wish list was created for us not to get so much hassle which is totally good since it would help us save time and effort in picking a gift.
Well, I might skip my lunch tomorrow to buy the gift...


till then,

Never been so lucky with raffles!!!

Have you had a great weekend??
Well, my Saturday night was happily spent in the year end event Christmas Party of the company I'm working with. We had a blast and really enjoyed the night with the variety of foods catered by Via Mare and the ever prestigious raffles, I didn't win though, I ended up being one of those loser when it comes to raffles, never been so lucky with that ever since. But it still heart breaking to know that I missed to get the big time raffles, and so were my friends.
I'd like to emphasize what the big time raffles include?

2 Sony Home Theater with multisystem 32” LCD High Definition TV
4 Acer Aspire One mini-laptops
4 Panasonic 32” LCD High Definition TV
4 Nintendo Wii US version
6 Sony PlayStation Portable Slim 3000
6 Flip Video Cameras
100 pieces SM Gift Checks worth P500

Oh boy, these are pretty damn good! Who wouldn't want to take home one of these junks? I’m calling it junks now since I didn't get any of those..hahaha..( I sound frustrated and devastated now)
Well, just to forget about the junks, I made sure to enjoy the night with my friends.

We were all carried away to the dance floor and just let our frustrations slipped away for awhile.

It was again another frustrating yet memorable good time of the year of my life that I was able to share with my good friends; at least memories are not being raffled.
