But a wedding with this kind of budget shouldn't be so bad. Since our wedding is still a few years away, we're banking on medium to long term investments such as Mutual Funds and UITFs to fund our dream wedding. The initial plan is to invest a yet-to-be-determined amount every month into a diversified portfolio of equity and balanced mutual funds.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003c/td\u003e\u003c/tr\u003e\u003c/tbody\u003e\u003c/table\u003eThere you have it, you now know our financial goals.

I figured maybe I could share how a dream's deadline kinda messed up my financial goals for this year, but somehow I feel grateful that it did. So what the hell am I talking about?\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eWell, ever since I started blogging, I made it a point to have a goal or purpose for what I do. That way, I am able to see how I achieved a certain goal, or how I came up short. Let me refer to those goals as \"dreams\". Most of the time I set those goals but did not have a concrete action plan, much less a deadline. And of course, you all know what happens to those dreams; they remain to be just f'n dreams. Last year, I set an ambitious goal of saving Php100,000 as my emergency fund. During the first 5 months of the year, I thought I was on track. And I was, until I got a call from my aunt asking me to attend this open house at Newport City. And so Jersy and I attended the open house, which served a delicious lunch buffet. Full stomachs and a few hours later, we got ourselves a brand new condo unit. So much for the emergency fund, we're gonna be having a place we can call ours. No more renting. No more landlords.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eThe bottom line is: reading Sir Randell's article made me realize that dreams really have deadlines. And although buying a home meant postponing my other \"dream\", it's all worth it.\u003cbr /\u003e\u003cbr /\u003eAnd now, back to the drawing boards, and regroup on how to make the other dreams a reality...\u003cdiv class\u003d\"blogger-post-footer\"\u003e\u003cimg width\u003d'1' height\u003d'1' src\u003d'https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2546418816938277083-4826830214020195910?l\u003dwww.richardsonchan.com' alt\u003d'' /\u003e\u003c/div\u003e"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.richardsonchan.com/feeds/4826830214020195910/comments/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID\u003d2546418816938277083\u0026postID\u003d4826830214020195910\u0026isPopup\u003dtrue","title":"2 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2546418816938277083/posts/default/4826830214020195910"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2546418816938277083/posts/default/4826830214020195910"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http://www.richardsonchan.com/2009/12/on-dreams-and-deadlines.html","title":"On Dreams and Deadlines"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"SoNn"},"uri":{"$t":"http://www.blogger.com/profile/10624033502763818282"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$extendedProperty":{"xmlns$gd":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005","name":"OpenSocialUserId","value":"12494864676236524486"}}],"thr$total":{"$t":"2"}},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2546418816938277083.post-1311202667344272634"},"published":{"$t":"2009-09-21T22:35:00.000+08:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2009-12-05T13:42:52.697+08:00"},"category":[{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Technology"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Snow Leopard"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Sun Broadband"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Internet Sharing"},{"scheme":"http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#","term":"Huawei E220"}],"title":{"type":"text","$t":"Internet Sharing On Snow Leopard"},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"Finally, after almost 5 days of tweaking and configuring, only to fail, I was able make Internet Sharing work on Snow Leopard 10.6.1.
