Filipino Millennials' plight and adventures
Credit card fraud is common in the country and there are many ways for thieves to hijack your cards. Unfortunately, there are no accurate ways to know if your card has been hacked, not until the bank statement arrives.
Sometimes, if you are not careful you won’t even notice that your card has already been used by someone without your authorization. And the next thing you know, you are already paying a huge amount of money for something you did not buy. [Read more…]
If you have so much bills to pay and children to put in school, saving money would be your number one priority. That means you do not buy new clothes until your old ones are so thin they break apart easily, or you don’t buy expensive food and rely on tuyo, instant noodles, bagoong and other cheap Filipino food to calm your stomach.

All the sleepless nights thinking about where in the world you would get money for tuition fees and such. It is tiring, to be honest.

Hey Jon! Errrr…. Mr. Espiritu… Wait, Sir Jon. Yeah that’s it. You have been teaching for what? Six years? Wow, that is kinda long mate! Now you are trying to earn your teaching license, slowly but surely. Well, I just want to tell you that you are doing a great job teaching young minds. I admire you for being a parent to your two kids and 150 plus more kids. That is one helluva job Sir Jon. I cannot even imagine myself taking care of a single toddler more so a hundred fifty of them. I admire you for your tenacity to encourage those kids. I like the fact that you go the distance in reminding them to go to class and I love your way of thinking that all of them will achieve something in the future. That was your mantra ever since you started teaching, right? Your kids and students are lucky to have you mate. [Read more…]
Remember the days when your school field trips include a visit to the National Planetarium in Luneta? Well, that was years ago and you have probably forgot about this iconic building.
