Saving and Investing: Michael Fischer makes the complex, simpler

I was surfing through youtube the other day and came across the savingandinvesting channel of Michael Fischer.  A former Goldman and Sachs man,  Michael has made financial literacy his personal advocacy and seeks to demystify various financial concepts for the man on the street. 

He writes: 
“This subject is not about greed, short-cuts, opinions or speculation – it is about being informed, and about being rewarded for participating in our financial system in order to provide better lives for ourselves and others that we care about.”

Don’t Worry… Be Happy

In this time and age where money can buy anything and virtually everything, why is it so darn hard to be happy?  I’ve moved countries/houses/jobs in my quest for that elusive feeling.   Many others have embarked on similar journeys.  One of my favorite blogs is Gretchen Rubin’s Happiness Project.  Her bi-weekly tip is like a sniff of freshly brewed coffee after a long and grueling meeting with a difficult client.

Imagini whips up my VisualDNA

imagini.gifI came across Imagini,  a website which claims to be a completely new way of connecting people.  You take a test to choose photographic images which are the most appealing to you personally.  Imagini then calculates your VisualDNA  and hooks you up with like-minded users.  

There is also another visual test to explore your wishes which I personally found to be more useful.  I tend to verbalize my dreams…  likes and dislikes.  This was the first time I expressed myself through pictures.   It created quite an impact for me to see the images of my innermost desires (greasy burger).

Directory Manila: Maps for the Directionally Challenged

I am still amazed at the rate in which the names of our streets change. It seems as if whoever’s waiting in the wings of pwoer is just itching to name a street/highway/airport after his/her mother/father/lolo/lola etc. Every 3 years, you can be sure that at least one street name that you know will be revised. And you wonder why we are always late and confused.It’s an exercise in futility to buy a map guide. Thank goodness for the internet. I came across Directory Manila, a godsend for those, like me, who are abysmal with directions. The maps are even color-coded. =) As an added bonus, the commercial and directory give the yellow pages a run for its money.
