- Had experience as a fund manager for my family's investments
- Attended Money Management seminars
- Have interests in putting up an online business, as well as traditional businesses and franchising business.
- Sports? I love basketball and table tennis. I play a little volleyball sometimes. However, for a change, my honey and I are gonna try running this month. See you at the Century Tuna Superbods 2010 fun run. If you still consider pro-wrestling a sport, then it should be here on my list, too.
- TV Shows? How I Met Your Mother. Accidentally On Purpose. The Big Bang Theory. Two and a Half Men. Chuck. Heroes. Life Unexpected. Better Off Ted. Leverage. The Vampire Diaries. Fringe. 10 Things I Hate About You. Warehouse 13. FlashForward. Glee. Monday Night Raw. Friday Night SmackDown!. PBA games, NBA games. Lots more.
- Other Hobbies? I play the guitar whenever possible. I'm a lefty but I use a guitar for right-handed peeps. That's probably why I'm not as good as I hoped to be. Fantasy Basketball has caught my fancy as of late. And of course, the usual surfing, facebooking, etc.
- Why I blog? It all boils down to three things.
- Learn & Earn - I want to learn the good stuff that are not taught at school. And hopefully, I could translate the new knowledge into some form of passive income streams (both online and offline)
- Make A Difference - I want to make a difference in people's financial lives. I want to be the one whom they could thank because in some little way, I helped them get their finances straight.
- Financial Freedom - I want to have a journal of my journey to financial freedom. So what better than to have it online, right? And yes, everyone is welcome to join the ride. =)
