Dolce Amore♥

Ciao!  Yes I am one of those who got so addicted in watching Dolce Amore (Sweet Love), and after 7 months it's finally ending on Friday. (Sigh.)  Honestly, I never missed an episode. I am not a LizQuen fan but of all love teams now I love watching them.   Enrique and Liza have already matured as artists - both are no longer "just a pretty face".  Dolce Amore : It's not your ordinary romantic-comedy teleserye does not really focus on boy and girl relationship but also family love.  Forgiving, moving on and choosing LOVE above all. And now my liking in learning the Italian language came back.  Every morning instead of greeting my nephews "good morning" I go - "Buongiorno!"  Learning Italian and Spanish is a dream, when they removed Spanish subject in college before I really felt bad since I wanted to learn it.  Oh well... hope it's not that late for me to do this.  (*wink)  It's easier now... I sincerely thank google translate.

SSS Peso Fund♥

Last year I learned about this SSS Peso Fund over the news, and honestly I am really wanted to know how this SSS Peso Fund works.  P.E.S.O. - stands for Personal Equity and Savings Option: so what's with it?  After I paid up my car loan in 2014, I decided start saving for my retirement (better to start early).  Being employed in the private sector, SSS pension is so small as compared to what government employees get from GSIS.  Based from my experience: my mom was a retired grade school teacher and my dad retired employee/college professor.   My mother was able to get more than a million from GSIS and her monthly pension is about P13,000.00 as compared to my father he got at about P200,000.00 from SSS and P5,000.00 monthly pension.   SSS Peso fund is a voluntary membership fund offered exclusively to SSS qualified members.  What's great about this is that it's tax free!  Instead of putting your money in the bank, interests earned are subject to withholding tax.  A

Fabulousity by Chiq♥ turns 5!

source: google.com I can't imagine that my online boutique is 5 years old.  It was really a childhood dream... and it's an amazing feeling when you have fulfilled one of your life's goals.  As I have said on my previous post about how I started : an initial capitalization of Php500.00, opened a Multiply account - where I sell handmade bracelets and headbands... then Facebook and Instagram.  I would like to thank Papa God for making this possible, my grandparents (Lolo Guiling and Lola Luming) where I got my selling skills, they are my inspiration.  I remember being my Lolo's stockclerk (started when I still in grade school).  And we help them in their little store at the palengke (market).  My parents, siblings and relatives for their support... My clients/customers who became my friends who continue to patronize my products. Thank you all so much!♥ With this I have an on going sale which started last Monday (August 1).   It's BUY 3 and get the
