Last time, we discussed the basics of building a small business to augment your retirement fund. To recap, we discussed the requirements for starting a biz: time, capital, research, and balls. I assume that I didn’t have to say that like getting a part-time gig, you’ll also need to put in work into any business venture. Now for this income-boosting episode, we’ll discuss another law of commerce: the Laws of Economics. I know, I know. I’ve been throwing all these important-sounding laws around. Here are the two reasons why learning the laws of Economics are important: you’d need to keep ...
In this episode of the Yuppie Guide, we’ll discuss something that most yuppies consider going into for extra income. There are several ways with which to go about setting up a small business and there are several kinds of small businesses you can try out. That said, we’ll limit each option to 500 words and post it in parts so you don’t have to contend with ginormous walls of text. First things first; what is a small business?
Ever since Blizzard announced that they will be developing the long, long awaited sequel to StarCraft, I’ve sworn to replay the original game and the expansion, Brood War to refresh my memory. I just finished the replay and I was blown away again. It’s been a while since I first finished the real-time strategy game, and it’s also been a while since I last wrote about video games so please bear with this fangirl. Anyway, on to the replay.
I’ll admit, I thought I was all set for Valentine’s Day with the Rom-Com and Classics post but as random brain farts don’t usually follow a schedule, I’ll write this down now so my brain can get over what my friend Lei calls Barfintimes Day. Despite popular belief, Valentine’s Day isn’t only for lovers; it’s for singles too. It’s that time of the year when the phrase “singled out” takes a whole new different meaning. Attached friends look upon you with pity, and whatever you say can and will be taken against you and translated as bitterness. People like me ...
In light of the coming Hallmark-inspired non-holiday, I’ve busted out several sappy DVDs for a special singleton Valentine movie marathon. For the purposes of this marathon, I’ve decided to divide my viewing equally between the Rom-Com movies (romantic comedies) and the Classics. Arguably, the Rom-Com movies I have lined up can also be considered classics in their own right, but let’s not get into semantics.
Here’s the first part of the Yuppie Guide, the series where you’ll see your extra income options and weigh them accordingly. By this time, you should know that it takes real work to get from Point A (where you are right now) to Point B (where you want to be, preferably retired by 50) and there is some amount of risk with each option. For the first option we have, there is minimal risk and the only capital you’ll need is time and effort. It’s part-time work, people.
The title says it all and I know, I know, it’s incredibly ambitious. As yuppies (young underpaid professionals) it takes a certain amount of ambition to get to where you ultimately want to be. I’m sure most of you are wondering what “conquering the universe” means, and we’ll explore that in this series of articles. You see, I’ve interviewed a couple of young NOT-underpaid professionals and I’ve learned a thing or two about their world domination plans.
In the past four or so years, I’ve learned the importance of keywords. With keywords, you can get indexed in Google, thereby be found more often and grab the attention of readers. After years of practice, I’ve found that the only keyword that will get my friends really excited (no, not “Sony is dead”) is a four-letter word: Lobo.
We went to Alay ng Puso and I didn't pick up a single toddler and treated him like he was my pamangkin or cousin. Or as someone who'd infallibly affect my life in some way. Alay ng Puso Kids' Conference

It has become a habit for me and Rio to jot down random thoughts that show either how cool our thought processes can be or just how lame we really are underneath our well-guarded facades (Usually, it’s the latter.). The Overlord has permitted joined us in this week’s compilation of random thoughts and weird conversations with the self and more preferably, with another person. So, here goes…
Looking back on the past summer makes us excited about what fun Summer 2010 holds for all of us.
Well, as much as I’d like to say that the reason for us not being able to update earlier was because we’ve been terribly busy, I’d have to admit that I was being lazy. An incredible indolence had possessed me and as of this writing, it’s still clinging persistently onto my back. I haven’t been half as productive as I was during the first week and if you’ve ever tried risking anything in your life before, you’d know the feeling I’m about to describe. It’s the uneasy sloshing in the stomach that you can’t throw up, the solidifying trepidation in your bones you can’t shake off that comes only when you first glimpse Failure rearing its ugly head in the horizon before you.
So far, I’ve given a brief introduction of what internet marketing is so feel free to check out what I’ve talked about before. This time, I’ll be giving you some basic pointers that will help you on your journey towards earning income online through internet marketing. But before that, I need to warn you that this isn’t going to be a walk in the park. If you think that earning money online is as easy as pushing a button and waiting for the money to come then you are seriously mistaken. It will take hard work, focus and consistent action to be successful with internet marketing. There’s no such thing as an overnight millionaire although some courses or products will let you believe so.

Here are the two reasons why learning the laws of Economics are important: you’d need to keep them in mind while you’re choosing the kind of small business you want to go into; and while you’re in the process of pricing your products.
I’ve been constantly searching for a way to earn money online since I discovered the Internet. At first, I was logging on to the Internet for school research. Somehow, I stumbled upon information that tells me I can work online. The offer was tempting, all I have to do is to pay a certain fee and then start doing simple typing assignments. I will get paid in dollars and that time, the dollar exchange rate was starting to sky rocket. The best thing is that I get to set my own schedule and I can work full time at home. It’s everyone’s dream to be able to stay at home and work, you don’t have to worry about traffic or getting up early anymore. So I got hooked to the offer, I signed up and logged in to the site.
Thoughts are pretty much like falling stars; they occur almost always randomly, they are there then they aren’t, and most people think there is some measure of wonder in them. The fleetingness of random thoughts is where its magic holds, I think, and for that reason Rica and I have resolved to record some of our random thoughts. It may be so we can alleviate some of the boredom (meaning we’re attempting to convince ourselves that our lives are not boring in our heads at least), so we can put some seemingly pointless thoughts in order to find some sort of pattern in our mental processes, or maybe it’s so we can try to invent a sort of magic for ourselves. At any rate, we’ve collected our random thoughts for the week (the ones we could catch) and posted them here.
For those who haven’t seen scanlations of chapter 63 of La Corda D’oro (Kiniro no Corda), you shouldn’t read this post. This is my spoiler alert. You have been warned.
