These Days

The past few months, I was on a roll with my reading.  I was getting through at least one book per week.  Unfortunately, that's not been the case lately because I’ve been very busy.  The last book I finished reading last week was The Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker. I’ve read a lot of financial freedom books and I initially thought this one would be a like the others in terms of topic (some are) but this stands out for me because it’s straightforward, has practical applications for each chapter and has affirmations that you can say and act out.  Yup, act out.  It might sound and seem corny initially but Eker vouches that it works and he has testimonials to support it. I am always for learning so I am looking to apply a few of Eker’s ideas.  Let’s see how it goes...

I needed to get an NBI Clearance and like all government-related tasks that I have to do, I checked online.  I found that there's an office in Imus which was good because I don't have to make the trip to Manila.  I posted a question in Facebook, if other people have tried it and what I should do.  The replies were disheartening.  They suggest that I should go before 6AM and be prepared to wait until lunch to receive the clearance.  :(  One said I could do it in the afternoon and get it in 30 minutes but we have another appointment so we decided to get it from Manila instead. We left the house around 8AM, but traffic in SLEX Alabang area was punishing!  We were stuck in the area for more than 40 minutes.  The rest of the way was slow-moving.  We were at NBI Taft around 11AM but were told that the clearance application is done in Carriedo.  But guess what, some of the guys in the counter called out to us and offered that it can be done rush, through them, for P550.  I know it&#
