source: Google In this time of pandemic, one of the solutions that our government could offer is vaccination.  There are a lot of news about the vaccine. I remember at first I have hesitations and choosy with the brand, but as days go by and with the growing number of cases (especially with the surge in India with the new Delta variant) - I realized that I should not be choosy and be open for it.  I still believe that whatever vaccine you will get - it's the one meant for you and you will be protected.   Last June 2, I got my first dose of Sinovac vaccine.  Yes, the controversial China vaccine, I need not elaborate or write about it because I am not a medical expert.  All I know is that it was approved by the Philippines' Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and it's safe for emergency use here in the Philippines.  Honestly, my choice is either Pfizer or Astra Zeneca but when I went to the vaccination site only the Sinovac vaccine is available.

Now here is the part 2 of my bookkeeping tutorials.  I will be discussing the Income and Expense accounts.  Income is the  revenue that a business earns from selling of goods and services.  Increase in Income or Revenue - Credit while decrease in Income is Debit. On the other hand, Expense is a cost of an asset used by a business to produce income.  It is also created not only when cash is paid but also when an asset is used up (in case of depreciation).  Expense is a contra account with debit balance.   Income and Expense are Income Statement accounts.  Income Statement is also known as Profit and Loss statement / Statement of Revenue and Expense, it is a financial statement that reports the company's financial performance or results of operations for over an accounting period. Important Equation: Revenue - Expenses = Net Income / (Net Loss) Example 1: Sold merchandise at P100,000.00, 50% cash and balance on account. Journal entry:  ...

For those who don't really know me, I have been in the corporate world for almost 30 years (in the accounting department).  Now do the math you can easily calculate my age (haha).  Anyway, since a lot of people are into business nowadays, I just want to share something on how to record your transactions.   First, what does "Bookkeeping" mean.. Bookkeeping is the systematic recording of a company's transaction on a regular basis.  There are 5 types of Accounts in Accounting : Assets, Liabilities, Capital, Income and Expense.  Let's start with the three Balance Sheet accounts : Assets, Liabilities and Capital .  Remember this formula : ASSETS - LIABILITIES = CAPITAL ASSETS : are things of value owned by the business.  It includes cash on hand and in bank, properties such as furniture and fixtures, equipment, motor vehicle and goods or services on credit (owed by his customers).  In recording : Increase in Assets - Debit and Decrease in Asset...

I was so excited with this new collection, but unfortunately like the other Hello Kitty x Colourpop collaborations it can't be shipped here in the Philippines because of license issue. :(   Well I guess I just need to wait for some online sellers to carry this collection here.  But I hope soon they will also fix that license issue so I can purchase it directly from Colourpop USA.  I am used to other in their website, because I love C...

I know a lot of people have been sharing this on social media especially in Youtube.  At the moment I have not joined the bandwagon of being a Vlogger (still camera shy.. haha).  I want to share "What's inside my work bag?" - pandemic edition, since May 2020 (when we returned to work last year) these are my everyday essentials. For work I alternately use my Furla Tessa Tote and Prada hobo bag.  What I love about these bags is that I can wear or carry them crossbody.  There is nothing spectacular on the things I have in my bag mostly these are the essential things that I really need and those that are easy to sanitize.  Here are what's inside my work bag: Zip wallet, coin purse & card wallet - For the wallet I chose a wristlet so I can easily carry it around wrist for hands-free shopping.  Both are easy to sanitize, it will not harm the material when you wipe it with wet wipes or spray on - alcohol or disinfectant. Medicine pouch - I chose a two zip me...
