Poverty
Posted By Junelle on October 15th, 2008
Philippines is one of the poorest country in the world even though before, when Magellan discovered it, we were so rich that even slaves wear golds.
As Magellan stated it, you could see gold everywhere in the Philippines. Sad to say that now, you could barely find one.
I know there are people who have more than enough money. If only they could share it to those in need, we would have a better world to live in.
I just wish money has no value!
Losing Friends
Posted By Junelle on October 6th, 2008
Recently, I have not been in touch with my friend in real life, but I am actively communicating with the one’s on virtual world.
Whenever a friend asks me to go out, to watch a movie or do something, I reject it saying “I am too busy” to give them of their request. Yes, I am indeed super busy now and bonding with my family is enough for me. After all, if I want to discuss things, my friends online (some are my X’s and friends in real life but just communicating online) are there.
I want to share a certain situation in which I find DISTURBING!
A friend owes me money since the time of her wedding (that was December 2007). I have nothing to give at that time, so I asked my parents if they could lend money for her. So they did, after all she has been my friend since high school and she is really dear to me.
Recently, she asked me if I could lend her some more because she needs it. Still unpaid of her previous debts, but she was asking for more. Again, I could have given her, if I have the money, yet I myself is sunked in with all the debts I have (specially on the credit cards).
Two days ago, I read on her blog that she was asking for help for some people to be able to help her friend – financially. My reaction was – WTF! She can’t even pay me her debts, yet she is helping out other people? I can’t help but comment on her blog.
Then she replied stating that a friend was in critical condition and that needed some money for the hospital. Then she further explains that this friend is someone who referred her to the business that she is running now, and that even though she won’t earn anything from the things she is selling, she would give it out just to repay her debt to this friend in need.
OKAY! Reality check, her husband is working in a call center and earning a bit above average income, have a tuition fee for a private school to cover, she have this business of buy and sell and they have debts.
I remember an article I have read about debts, this was before I had credit card, but at first I didn’t belive this, until I was drowned with debts I had for my credit card. The article has one message to say, “It is ALWAYS bad to spend money that is not rightfully or trully yours.”
In my case, I have no problem since I would only be imprisoned if I could not pay my debts. On my friends case, she owes money to her friends, and still asking money from some? What kind of life she is living? Debt life?
For someone who is in the same situation as my friend, this I would suggest for you:
- If you have friends in critical condition and that needed money for the hospital. PRAY for them! Money could not save a life, it could only pay the bills (I have mentioned this to my friend as well).
- Pay your debts first, before you give to others. After all, it is pretty awkward to give if you don’t have some extra. You are not being fair to those whom you owe money to.
- Owe money to someone – one at a time. Pay first to someone you owe money to, before you ask for it again or ask someone else for it.
Also, my friend mentioned that I should not comment on her blog about personal things, because she is building a reputation on her online business and that blog is not for her personal use but for business.
Well, now it is business to ask for help for a friend in need in the hospital, as she has posted it on her blog. As I could see it, its not purely business if you state it that way.
But anyway, this has already been a long post … even I would not read this kind of long post 
Good Luck to my so-called friend and to her business. May she be successful in it so that she could pay her debts and eventually be debt free.
To know more about my expenses, I pay for the following:
- Php 7,000 for the lot I bought at Jaro / month for 10 years
- Php 25,000 for my HSBC credit card – it has reached my limit. I KNOW! I am paying at least Php 1,000 for this every month just to keep it running.
- Php 25,000 for my Citibank credit card – it has reached my limit. YES AGAIN! I have closed this one, and paying at least Php 4,000 / month for 2 years.
- Php 999 / month for Smart Bro
- Php 799 / month for Smart Bro Plug-it
- Php 800 / month for my Globe Handyphone Plan
- 2 children to take care of: medicines, milk, diapers, toys
- Php 3,000 / month for insurance for 5 years
Somehow, I have manage to survive with these. I also pay the bills for our landline and car fuel if I have an extra.
I have debt of Php 10,000 from my Mom for my daughter’s 4th birthday, and I still owe her that much since I freakn lost the money that could have been my payment for her.
SO FOR THOSE WHO WANTED TO HELP ME OUT WITH THIS EXPENSES I HAVE. I WOULD SURELY ACCEPT YOUR OFFER. THANK YOU!
My Father had my MacBook Fixed
Posted By Junelle on October 2nd, 2008
I don’t know if I will ever use my MacBook again, but my dad got it fixed and had upgraded it to 150GB.
Maybe, I will be using it on my photo editing since I have a lot of plans on my photo’s.
Soon, there will be changes on my blogs. I will be re-doing most of it, freshen the content and design … etc.
Good Luck to me
My Vote is for Batang Yagit
Posted By Junelle on September 20th, 2008
Usually when I see a Batang Yagit on the streets asking for money, I don’t give them any. Simply because I was taught that if I will feed them that way, they will grow up to be a sucker, and not a doer. I always believe that everything you wanted could be achieved with a hard work.
A Batang Yagit was nominated for the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards and is asking for a vote.
Now, why I am giving my vote to this Batang Yagit online?
- His campaign to vote for him has reached me.
- I think he worked hard enough to earn votes.
- I think he is persuasive.
- I like the design of his blog.
- I like his logo.
Now, to thank the sponsor for the Philippine Blog Awards 2008.

Bloggers Review
Posted By Junelle on June 19th, 2008
A lot of bloggers are now called Pro bloggers because they earn from their blogs. It is indeed a good advertising outlet if you have a blog and you have a lot of visitors. A good writer could convince a lot of people to visit or try a product. Action speaks louder than words, but through words, people know the experiences of some people and learn from it.
I have been blogging for about 3 years now, and it has been my outlet to express my depression, happiness or just anything meaningful that happens to my life. Now, I am earning a bit from my blog because of the reviews I made.
One way to earn money is http://www.bloggersreview.com in where you get paid for a post you make for them. If you are an advertiser, you also get to advertise on budget with Bloggers Review.
It has been very helpful for many people and companies. So why don’t you try it yourself?
Good Luck!

Proud to be Recognized
Posted By Junelle on March 25th, 2008
This is what we look like most of the time. Sit in front of the laptop, play or surf the net with a very slow connection from Smart Bro Plugit.
Little to my knowledge that the informations I have submitted at MoneySense magazine was posted in this months issue. I am so proud that I have been given such recognition. Thanks to my friend Glady who posted an article that lead me to buy the said magazine. Well Glady is so proud as well, because Bacolod is the top 1 and all informations written there are all hers. While, Iloilo is on the top 5 and it was Marcos from Explore Iloilo and I who combined forces to share how proud we are of the land in where we grew up. To tell you, Glady is from Iloilo too, she just moved to Bacolod 4 years ago.
All I could say about things happening now: It PAYS to be a BLOGGER!
