Is being a Financial Advisor worth it?

Image
The Origin Story of " The Suited Advisor " I remember back in college (UST Eng) we had a class on theology and our professor was teaching us a lesson about how the world easily influences our actions and decisions. She made us form a huge circle inside the classroom while sitting down on our armchairs... how it looked like After forming a circle, she then proceeded to encourage us to throw pieces of paper and candy wrappers in the middle. Everyone started throwing their trash and I pondered a bit while holding out my own trash in hand... I asked myself these questions: 1. “ Gagawin ko ba ito dahil lang sinabi ng iba? ” (Will I do this just because someone told me to?) 2. “ Gagawin ko ba ito dahil lang ginagawa rin ng iba? ” (Will I do this just because other’s are doing it too?) After thinking, I stood up, went towards the middle, and started picking up the garbage that was piling up in the middle. I picked it up one by one. They keep thro

CHAIRMAN’S CUP REGATTA :  Breeding the Next Generation of Filipino Sailors "It's really for the love of the ocean, the love of sailing that's why we're here--and we want to share it with everyone. We wanted to be mainstream because for a long time sailing as an elitist sport but it's not. In fact, it can help the Philippines to really get out of poverty"  - Cedric "Zed" Avecilla, Executive Director of the Subic Sailing Club This was the introduction given to us when we got to the venue which is, to be honest, a strong and powerful one. Because even if the context of his last sentence is a bit bold, it actually has a deep truth to it. Subic Sailing School is their program that aims to teach people especially the out of school youth to learn how to sail and also gives their families livelihood provisions by being boat boys. "Ako'y Pilipino at nasa dugo ko ang pagiging marino" This for me reverberates to the core

OISHI SNACKTACULAR 2019:
A nostalgic and timeless feeling

Image
April 5-7, 2019 SM Clark Oishi has always been close to the hearts of Filipinos. A brand of timeless quality products that has genuine appreciation shown by it's consumers from one generation to another. I've personally grown with it ever since I was a kid. From my baon of Pillows in grade school, personal favorite Ridges in high school, Prawn Crackers during summer vacations, Smart C⁺ during college review, and Marty's Cracklin' on inuman sessions. "Classic" as we deem it because you can never leave out Oishi in every event of our lives. Oishii in Japanese literally means " delicious " I guess that's why they always meet our expectations! So, this year's Snacktacular event by Oishi, although initially was supposed to be held last year around sept 2018, came with much anticipation and excitement. Fan favorites making a comeback from last year were their sections for Snack Shack and Snack Catcher. A new addition however cau

LILY'S VACATION FARMHOUSE #BLOGVACAY Jala-Jala Rizal Jan 7, 2018 Credit to @ramquelbenamie There's always a time in our lives when we need to detoxify and unwind. It's in our nature to go out of town, go on a staycation, or even go by the beach. And in those cases, we are among family and friends oftentimes. Credit to @ramquelbenamie When I was invited to a small gathering of b/vloggers at a farmhouse in Rizal, I honestly didn't know what to expect. It's that uncertainty or the unknown that tingles a sensation within me. To know what would and what can happen makes it all worth the look. (I'm most of the time spontaneous) —Cue Lily’s Vacation Farmhouse— A spacious and tranquil location fit for retreats, Group activities, and just for purely contemplation.  When we got there, we had a lot of time to go around the facilities of the place. They have a full basketball court, you can ride their ATVs and horse, swim by th

Wedding Rush Our Lady of Fatima Parish, Quezon City 12/30/2016 A few weeks back, my brother had his wedding in a sudden and shotgun fashion. Partly because the girl got knocked up (straight to the point bro haha) and they have to settle down before my older brother's wedding this July 2017. Hindi pwede magkasabay-Sukob eh. They initially planned for a civil wedding but was strongly persuaded to have their vows said in front of the church. Take note that all the preparations were made less than a month from the agreed date. Arrived just in time for the wedding, my new dapper clutch perfect for my essentials for the day! Cayle Clutch by ig:@freebeerfriday Had to take some photos on these brick walls of the newly built Our Lady of Fatima Parish. Had my sister pose for shots too! My attitude towards you will always be based on how you treat me. so treat me well ;) One of the millennials today, my little sister. Who would oftentimes say "

Themed The Great Gatsby, we are encouraged to dress up for the formal occasion. So I did without hesitation. People would most often than not, be hesitant, especially on a company event. Mainly because they think no one would care to actually dress up for the part. But not me. Suit & Slacks: Topman Vest: H&M French-cuffed Longsleeves: Marks & Spencer Necktie & Flower Lapel Pin: Knitties Pocketquare: Burberry Pocketwatch: Bijouxdelou Cream Derby Wingtip Brouges: Debonair Manila I honestly think if you're going to an event with a th eme, might as well go all-in.

Raffle prizes are comprised of Supremo 1 Action Cam(5), Asus Powerbank(5), Fujif
