The Yuppie Guide to Conquering the Universe:...

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...

How I Discovered Internet Marketing

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...

Stories in 150 words or less: random thoughts

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...

*UPDATED* Yuppie Fangirlism: Back from hiatus...

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. Now, back to regular programming. I found it really painful and irritating to wait for scans of chapters 60, 61, 61.5, 62 and...

In this episode of the Yuppie Guide, we’ll discuss something that most yuppies consider going into for extra income.

Yuppie Replay: StarCraft

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...

Love According to Disney

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...

Yuppie Replay: Rom-Coms and the Classics

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...

Stories in 140 words or less: status messages

I remember that super flash fiction activity we had back in the hell hole, the 50-word story (Note: If the title of the activity wasn't self-explanatory for you, you can see mine and Rica's submissions for the said activity here and here.], and I realized that most of the people I know do it on a daily...

The Yuppie Guide to Conquering the Universe:...

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...

The Yuppie Guide to Conquering the Universe

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...
