How to become a Millionaire

I stumbled upon this article in Yahoo and I found myself drawn to read up on how to be a millionaire (a million pound millionaire = Php 72M). http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-be-a-millionaire.html While having a lot of money used to be my goal, Yes, money can buy us a lot of things that we see in TV and movies and read about in books but lately I have come to realize that no amount of money can buy back time.

Yes, I realize this quite late but then it is never too late to know your priorities.

Loosing my dad coupled and facing the reality of death made me realize that what is important is not the amount of money you have made, but the relationships you've built with the important people in your life. My time with my Dad was so short, there are days when I miss just having someone there who loves me unconditionally and is willing to listen to however small or petty my problem or story might be.

So my plan is to create moments that matter. Work is just work - it will never end - but birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, those just happen once a year. I am not anti-work, just anti making work the center of your life because at the end of your life, it is not work that will be there with you, but your family.

The best comment I've seen by far for the article would be from Churchill:
"I've met millionaires. They reach old age and realise they missed out on life. They have cried when realising they never saw their children grow up. Money is bits of paper or numbers on a computer. Life is real and time can never be recaptured. Ask yourself what is worth more, Money? Time? Life? I have enough to live on and do not ask for more. I have food and warmth and a roof over my head. I see my children every day. I'm much better off than a millionaire and even better of than a celebrity because I can live in the real world. Do not be media driven, nor money orinentated. The drivers off this, feed off this mass distraction and make their wealth.
Let them have it if material things matter more.
The best things in life really are free!"


Agree!


Live positively,
D

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Mo Twister, Narnia and Bitch Smile

December 3, 2010 Today we got a surprise visit from Mo Twister and Rhian Ramos. Noj had business meeting with him and he toured them around the office. We managed to get a quick picture with him before they left. Kevin with Rhian Ramos. He's quite red from all the attention he's getting. Group picture with Mo. My height: 5' 3 1/2". Outfit post: black cardigan from f21 rompers from landmark chain belt from Mango tights from Samsung Fashion shoes from Rubi We also got free tickets for Narnia tonight. It was okay. The best part about the movie is that I got to see snow again(The movie was in 3D). We arrived quite late and I missed the first 10 minutes but my brother told me nothing much happened. I did miss a few great 3D effects. Ended the night with dinner at Recipes with Noj, April, Finj, Em, Rommel and Donna. Where Donna once again practiced her "bitch smile" aka Heart Evangelista smile. Hipstamatic pictures using Em's Iphone. Drool! I want one but it co...
