Caloocan City "Kalokohan in the City"

I've spent my college years in Caloocan City since Engineering Majors only start in that campus. I really hate what I'm hearing right now in radio stations and news papers. Its not surprising that Andres Bonifacion would probably go down his monument that fronts the dilapidated Gotesco Grand Central Mall because of the problems surrounding the debate on who owns the commercial complex that stands on the former land of Cecilio Apostol Elementary school.

The lease of the 22,685 square meter lot o June 14, 1983 has been sold on September 19, 2008 after the courts allowed it. But then the City Government never forgot about the taxes the establishment owns that amounts to almost 723 Million in the last 23 years. This is the real property tax that was not settled but both parties are crying foul because apparently the Go family was being asked for money by the incumbent Mayor Echiverri. It's a huge mess and just thinking about how old the mall is makes it doubly furious. Who owns it now? They are all saying its their own but once the City Government already "sherrifed" this property there will be huge fights from stall owners, the Go Family and the forces from the local government. Something big will erupt soon in the north and a lot of people will lose their businesses and jobs. I hope someone takes action soon from the national government.

I have my memories in Caloocan, I just wouldn't like these people to put blood on the floor once the city government takes action.

Spend Wisely!

I'm managing my own money now and to keep myself in check I always keep it a point that I only spend beyond my means. Nowadays it is so hard to keep up with our daily expenses and we often forget to pay our bills until the last minute which would make our lives more hard until we get our next pay check. I know how it feels to over spend because I probably am one of the guys who spend too much on clothes, shoes and parties. I go out almost every week and dish out a couple of thousand bucks cash and a few swipes of the card. It's a good thing I know how to handle it because unlike other people, I have self control.

I've got a word of advice though for young single guys like me. If you can't pay for it anymore and you have tons of credit cards, I suggest you make your life a little bit easier by debt consolidation. Taking your financial problems into one bank can get your interest rates on a better scale. At least you are going to be charged once for your credit card debt. There are a lot of banks who would appreciate this and financial advisers would strongly recommend it. If you are in a situation where you cannot find debt consolidation loans anymore, make sure you strike a deal with the credit card provider with the lowest interest so your payment schemes would be easier on your budget. It pains to see some people are not handling their finances well when it is just simple. If you save a lot, spend within your limits and only purchase what's necessary then you wouldn't have problems with money. If you've got a better idea, let me know!

Hybrid Car Day!

The hybrid cars are making a huge waves in the auto industry. I haven't driven one so the actual mechanics on how it works is mind boggling for me. I saw one in TV when I watched The Girls of the Playboy Mansion... yeah I know what your thinkin... hey I just watched promise!

The car actually runs on gas but when you stop in a corner or slow down, it automatically switches into electric and the car seems to halt but in reality its really just going the mile with electricity instead. This is really a great answer to the oil needs of most countries and if this goes with the Filipino water cars, I bet you its going to be more efficient. I was really at awe on how it 't works, how in the world didn't anybody think about this before? Anyway its very very good that more models are coming out from Japanese, American and German manufacturers.

And think about the grand prix outfits holly, kendra and the girls would wear if they show up in those cars in style! Hahaha.... I know lotsa drivers are going to be excited!

Stressful Day at Work..

I'm still sick but I manage to go to office even if I have colds and a lil cough. Its verging into a flu... I just hope it doesn't get worse. Maybe next time I'll try and have a vacation instead of pulling myself to work each day because I always gunned for the perfect attendance. Yeah, I haven't had an absence in like 5 years would you believe that?

Well now its more weirder because I am obliged not to even take my leave credits because that would be also taken against the perfect attendance marks and would disqualify the incentives for that. Oh well, maybe sometime soon my planned Euro, US/Australian trip would materialize. Hey, my cousin even wants to hire me in Brisbane (I think) because of their IT thingy there. I'll take a look and try that out... nothing bad in that right?

Plans for the future? Well I don't want to plan now, I am patiently just waiting for things to fall into place. Maybe in the next few months if they all become true then why not... I just have to make sure I do a good job in what I'm doin today... I'm living my life with no regrets that's for sure.
