BIR's EFPS - Advantage or not?

The world is revolving through business integration and paperless communication. Well, Philippines is trying very hard to keep up with the fast-phased technology around the globe. But how are we doing so far?

Let us start with the Government's mission to enhance their tax system.

Believe me, I am typing in this very moment while waiting for the Bureau of Internal Revenue Electronic Filing and Payment System or the most renowned EFPS to load.

Yes, it is a shame to see co-taxpayers struggle with the electronic technology of the tax office since they cannot see any improvements from the last three years.

The most horror story we ever get from this: GATEWAY TIME-OUT.

Hoping for a favorable action from the government before April 15 hits. This resentment of mine isn't a personal point of view. It's OUR point of view. Our mission to comply doesn't seem to align with your so-called innovative enhancement in the tax system.

Eat Pizza, Be Healthy.

In Nickky Faustine P. de Guzman's write-up in Business World Weekender,  it says that drinking wine and eating pizza can be healthy. Who will say no to pizza? That oozing melted cheese with meat overload on top of freshly-baked dough!

Here is the post.

REJOICE, lazy bones! While this might actually be too good to be true, it seems that science says you can be healthy while eating pasta and pizza. And while you’re at it, you can drink wine and burn the fat gained during the holiday binge. It seems that the perennial New Year resolution “I want to get fit” might finally come true, yes? At least according to viral posts going around on the Web. But before ordering a box of pizza or a bottle of alcohol, there is some fine print to be read under the good news. READ MORE>>

How Safe is Your Drinking Water?

I don't care if this website is just promoting its brand and products,  but this specific post from PureIt (THINGS TO CHECK ON YOUR REFILLED WATER BOTTLE) is a must-read. Yes, you know your water is safe, but is your container?



Water refilling stations are becoming a common fixture in almost every community, especially in the metro. About 60% of households in the Philippines get their water from these refilling stations, according to surveys.

If we look at it based on each refilling station’s purification process, their water is safe enough. Reverse osmosis, distillation, activated carbon filters, ozone generators, and other technical terms give us the re-assurance that the water is safe.

But no matter how advanced the technology is, we can never be sure of water safety. READ MORE...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What?! It's 2016 already? Do I have any entry for December? Writing a blog post probably slipped out of my mind due to the holiday season. Wuhoo!

Okay. Let's do some updating.

First, I got a new work. My tenure with my ex-employer lasted until Dec. 22. And today is my 2nd day with my new work. I have a lot of vacant days for the holidays and well, I spent it wisely. I have my own time with my daughter and she is lovely as usual.

Second, I have a new year's resolution! I will abide my husband in every possible way! I am usually hard-headed and egoistic. There are many decision-makings this past year that, well, I prevail. But most of them are not working or inefficient, or you can say, epic fail. So this time, I told my husband, that in every decision I have to make, I will ask his opinion and will take it to consideration -  all the effin' time!!! He told me women are emotional, and men are making decisions based on logic. Proven and tested, logical way is indeed better that emotional way, believe me!

Third, I spend my first Christmas in Laguna! Yey! That's my husband's province. We ate a lot of food! As in a lot! And we gave Athena her present - a new hard-bound book! She loves to flip it. I don't know if she was able to appreciate the book itself (it's about Aesop's fables). But hey, she likes seeing the hare, peacock, tortoise, the horse, and the mouse. Very colorful!

Fourth, we had our Christmas party in Bulacan with my Clan. It was awesome! They loved my games - Kantaririt and the one with the paper plates and you'll draw on it while it is in your head. Anyway, I've also gave my godchildren some Human Nature Products for kids and babies. I'm sure they will love the chocolate and gummy berry scent of kiddie soaps and the powder scent of baby wash! :) (Contact me for orders. Thanks!)

Sorry I don't have any pictures to post. I'm kinda tinatamad. But I got them all in my phone. So, yeah, pag sinipag, I'll post them. Or, pag sinipag pa more, I'm gonna make a photo album/ photobook out of it!


I guess that's all of it! I just want to say Happy New Year! More money, great career and more travel to you all!!!

But the best of all, I wish you peace of mind, contentment, humility, and more love coming from your family as you rock this 2016!!!!
