money matters and productivity

managing one's finances is a skill i believe an individual should learn. the world's tough and getting tougher. one of the best defenses to cope with changing times is to be financially responsible - to know how to deal with money. personal finance is one of my favorite topics. i love it not because i've acquired the skill to perfectly manage my finances (or lack thereof, haha!), but because i find the topic relevant and interesting. more importantly, i love it because i need help and is yet to learn, acquire or be financially responsible. if on the outside, i may appear OK to most people, but believe me - i'm like many who struggle with handling finances. while i may not be in deep financial mess as some people, i'd like to hope that i will never be. but as they say, the world is round and nothing these days is predictable. thus, it's best to equip oneself with knowledge on financial or money matters. learning about money matters is very important whether you're single or married. although, for me, it's more valuable if you learn more about it while you are single. after all, money issues is one of the top reasons for divorce/annulment (in the guise of psychological incapacity) and you don't want to head in that direction if you're married. that said, singles and friends, why don't you come to this event on September 15, Saturday:

the event is sponsored by ccf cebu's single's ministry: B1G (Be One with God). the ministry has been having a series of events they aptly call "ONLY THE REAL MATTERS." They previously had topics on Family Matters and Relationship Matters. If I'm not mistaken, this Saturday's Money Matters is their third installment. I've attended the previous events and the messages one learns from the forum is very invaluable - priceless even. to the curious, YES - the topic will be discussed in the context of the bible, but i still believe this is a secular event (everyone is welcome - and NO, no one will be recruiting you to become a Christian during the event). it'll be just an event of pure fun and learning. it's FREE!

on my part, i'm a bit frustrated as the event falls the same day as one of my close college friends' wedding. our other friend based in makati will be flying with her family just for the weekend, and we haven't seen each other in a LONG WHILE!!!!!! my three other friends - the bride included - all live here in cebu (3 of us in mactan even) and due to busy schedules, the wedding is the chance we'll have to gather. so help me GOD, don't make my flu-like symptoms today progress.

but take heart, if you're like me and unable to come, perhaps the plan is for you to attend this event instead:

Date: October 5, 2012
Time: 7 PM - 10 PM
Venue: Pacific Grand Ballroom Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino

Francis Kong is one of the best speakers in the country. B1G Cebu will be bringing him for cebuanos to learn from him. believe me, you will pay top dollar if you attend mr. kong's speaking engagements. but for this october 5 event, you can hear him speak with only a minimum fee of PhP500 (PhP800/PhP1000 comes with light meals). it's truly a sweet bargain!! the talk is best for employees and entrepreneurs alike as he will talk about Maximizing Productivity. incidentally, it's a topic that most bosses harp about, mine included. don, sponsor naman. sabihin mo kay mk attend tayo lahat - hehe....

anyway, i hope you all could attend either events or both.
