Commonly mispronounced Luxury Brands♥

source: Google

Well, I am also guilty of this a few years back, but I researched to educate myself on how to pronounce these famous luxury brands.  As the saying goes: "Iba na ang may alam."  Honestly, some of the pronunciation will shock you.  You can also search the right pronunciation on YouTube. 

It's better to learn how to pronounce these brands properly. So when you are in a conversation with someone you will never go wrong.

How to organize important documents♥

source: Google

If your important documents are scattered all over your cabinet or drawer, maybe this is the right time to develop a proper filing system.

What are the important documents are we talking about?  These are your birth certificates, school records, bank records and etc.

What are the things you need?

• Sticky notes or index tabs
• Document binder or clear book
• Sticker label or Label maker
• Bond paper
• Expandable plastic envelope

What to do?  First determine your goal.  Decide on how you want your documents be organized.  When I started organizing my documents I allotted a separate clear book for each set of documents.  Put a label for each clear book : 

1. Important personal documents (Birth and Baptismal Certificates, Photo copies of Identification cards,  SSS, Philhealth, National ID, TIN ID and etc;  
2. School and Office/Work records (Report cards, Class cards, Work contracts, Certificates, Awards and etc.)
3. Bank Records : Bank certificates, Investment documents (Time deposits, UITF Investments and etc), Loan documents, if any and etc; 
4. Real Property documents: Land title, Certificate of Registration and other documents for your vehicle and all other pertaining to real properties;  
5. Medical records 

Once you have sorted all your documents by type.  Arrange them on your clear book, it's best to put a sticky notes or index tabs on the clear book pages for easy location of the files.

Place your clear books in an expandable plastic envelope or big plastic containers or fire proof documents bag/filing cabinet - it depends on how you want your documents be kept.

Make sure you have a separate clear book for you, your spouse and each of your children - that is if you are married.  :)

 

At first you will think this is an easy task, well I tell you sorting and organizing will take some time. (*wink!)  But it's quite an achievement once you have accomplished this project.

Here is an extra tip: you can also keep a Digitized copy of each of your documents on your computer for an easy peasy location of your documents.  

 

Hope this helps...  If you have other organizing tips... share it with me on the comments section below.

Being Single...♥

Many people thought that you are lonely if you are single or you are not in a romantic relationship.  I don't know why this is a big deal to some people.  Yes, I am single.  But I could look straight into their eyes and say "I am not lonely."  

I am not a man hater, choosy... maybe it's my destiny.  Who would wish to grow old alone?  As a child, I also dreamt of walking down the aisle wearing a wedding dress.  But what will you do if that's your fate.  I never questioned God..  Honestly, I also hoped and prayed for that... but every time I meet someone.. I always pray to God, if he is or the not the one, give me a sign or enlighten me - so I could make a right decision.  I believe that God has always guided me in all the decisions I made.  And I don't regret it.  I have a lot of learnings and I am thankful for it.

There are times I wished that I have someone... especially when I am not feeling well or too stressed at work and I need someone to talk to.  Or when I am happy and I want to share my achievements to someone... Believe it or not, I talked to Jesus or Mama Mary.  It feels like talking to your best friend.. and afterwards I feel a lot better.

I believe that this is a part of God's plan.  I have embraced and accepted it.  Acceptance is the key... And if I crossed paths with someone --- thank you. If not it's totally fine.

I enjoyed the freedom of being single... I'm independent.  I make my own decisions, goals and of course I am accountable with my choices and actions.  

So don't pity us if we don't have our happily ever after.  Real talk : Not all married people are happy.    Not all relationships is a bed of roses.  Don't tell us that "Sayang ka", "When will you get married?" , "You should have kids because no one will take care of you when you get old."  Based from my experience, not all children look after  or take care of  their old parents.   

Be sensitive to someone's feelings...  Remember single people are also human (so don't question and judge)  Please respect one's choice and destiny...  Everyone has their own story.  Even if your intentions are good, but sometimes you make us feel worthless.  I still believe that if you are destined to meet someone... you can find him in the most unexpected place and situation.  So don't look for love for us... because I know in the right time --- Love will find us!♥
