3 QUESTION TEST BEFORE YOU TIE THE KNOT W H AT T O E X P E C T B E F O R E G E T T I N G M A R R I E D ? PA RT 2

his is the continuation of my blog for single people to consider before getting married. If you missed my first blog, please check it out here http://on.fb.me/1rwD5aK Have you ever heard the saying, “IF YOU FAIL TO PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL?” B. RESOURCE PROBLEM Does your partner (especially for men) have a regular source of income? It doesn’t matter how much it maybe. Never look at the amount na dapat may savings na 300k, 500k or 1 Million bago kayo magpakasal. Financial responsibility must
be a strong consideration but it’s more important to consider if he’s FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE. What’s the sense if he is financially stable and yet irresponsible in handling money. Stable nga at malaki ang sahod, waldas naman, gastador at mahilig mangutang. Try to observe him when it comes to spending and handling finances before you get married. How does he handle his money? Is he a saver or a spender? Does he think only about the short-term or the long-term? Is he responsible or not? Dahil kung hindi, may possiblity na maghirap kayo in the future. Tignan mo rin anong commitment
ng fiancé mo? Baka pag magasawa na kayo maging issue sa
iyo ang pagtulong niya sa pamilya niya or sa ibang tao financially. Sa madaling salita, walang masama tumulong basta pagusapan ninyong mabuti ang ‘pera’ dahil pag hindi kayo magkasundo ngayon palang na di pa kayo kasal, mas lalo kayong magkakagulo (at baka maging cause pa ng paghihiwalay ninyo) pag mag-asawa na kayo. So these are the financial questions both of you as a potential couple must agree, consider and discuss prior to marriage: 1. How much are you willing to invest in your marriage rather than the wedding? Prepare more for the marriage rather than the wedding day. Wedding day is a one day event, marriage is a life long commitment. Be wise and be practical. Huwag na kayo makipagsabayan sa magagarbong wedding tulad ng mga artista kung hindi ninyo naman kaya. Bongga nga ang kasal nyo, lubog naman sa utang. Start your marriage right by living a debt-free life. One more thing, your wedding is your first financial responsibility, so don’t
expect for your parents’ financial assistance. If they want to give because they want to bless or help you that’s fine, pero huwag ninyong iasa sa kanila ang gastusin ng kasal. Men, take the lead and take charge. 2. How much money are you willing to set aside for the wedding? Kung ang kaya niyo lang ay 100k then plan a wedding that is around the budget. Don’t spend beyond your means. The primary issue when it comes to budgeting your wedding is not kung ano ang gusto mo kundi kung ano ang kaya mo. Kung kaya mo naman na sampung putahe sa handaan, GO! Pero kung dalawa lang ang kaya huwag ng ipilit ang sampu. You don’t have to spend too much to make your wedding day memorable, kahit ‘kasalang-bayan’pa yan, it will still be memorable because that’s your wedding! That’s the day when you would give your vows to love your partner until the end of time. So again, please be wise and be practical. 3. How much are the two of you willing to live on a monthly

basis? 15k, 25k or 50k? The issue again here is not the amount, but how much are you willing and able to live. This is my philosophy when it comes to knowing if you are financially ready: As long as one of you have a steady income and both of you agreed to live within that means then pwede na kayong magpakasal. Kung hihintayin mo pa yung target or ideal amount mo baka maging single for life ka na friend. Here’s the scenario: “Once makaipon na ako ng 300k okay na ako...” Then you realized kulang kaya tataasan mo at gagawing 500k then you’ll realize na parang kulang parin kaya gagawin mong 1 million! Maniwala ka, walang katapusan yan! Lumalaki ang income, lumalaki din ang expenses. Uulitin ko, agree on how much are you willing to set aside for the wedding day and how much are you willing to live on? THINK. REFLECT. APPLY. So let us recap the three question test on finance before you get married: 1. How much are you willing

Hope Floats I want to tell you a story about a man I know… a window washer in Los Angeles. Nothing special about him … just going about his life, living from day to day. Vague plans. Few dreams. And if he had any aspirations, he never spoke of them. The window washer lived his life ignoring the questions of the future. They just weren’t that important to him, so he believed nothing. But the (accident) came… and this man faced certain death. Many of us think that when divine intervention happens, it’s something big. But it can also be a small thing that seems so inconsequential in the moment, that turns out to be the turning point for your entire life. Big or small, what if that moment affected everyone, everywhere at the exact same time? What would that mean to you? Where would you look for answers? The answer is never about just one person. None of us are in this alone. Each one of us is unique. But we are being stitched together to form a tapestry, something larger that can’t be understood until we step back to see the whole thing. At some point, we all wake up, and then we have to choose. Do we walk in hope, believing that what God is doing is good, or do we stumble around, resigning ourselves to chaos? The window washer saw a path through the chaos, and he saw the good in what he was shown. That window washer is me. -- FlashForward (2010)

Daily HOROSCOPE
ARIES (March 21 – April 19) - Things aren’t quite going your way today -- but that’s okay! Every now and then, you need to go through some down time in order to let your subconscious mind process all your victories. TAURUS (April 20 – May 20) - Life isn’t a popularity contest -- or is it? Today it might feel as if you’re being judged on how much joy you’re bringing to friends, family and those around you. It’s time to really engage! GEMINI (May 21 – June 21) - This is not a good time for speedy action -- you’ve got to make sure that you’re dealing with life as it really is, even if it’s slower than you’d like. You are sure to improve your situation by going slowly.
CANCER (June 22 – July 22) - Your instincts are really strong and primal today -- and they are sure to guide you in the right direction if you pay attention. Things are getting weird, but you can cope better than almost anyone else. LEO (July 23 – August 22) - A minor squabble could turn into something much bigger and weirder -- when ego gets involved, all bets are off. Things should settle down by tonight, but you may have to make the first apology.

into a formidable Presidential Security Group (PSG) member was awe-inspiring. Thus, the whole community was devastated with the news because the guy left behind two very young sons. Not too long ago, the guy whom I idolized in such films as Jack and Jumanji also committed suicide. A couple of years before that, funny guy Owen Wilson also attempted suicide. Therefore, it is not a guarantee that comedians are not spared from this grim stuff. It’s not just about depression. The PSG guy forgot that he had two kids and was driven by jealousy.

Fresh Gospel of the day: Luke12:5459(October28, 2014-Tuesday) Luke 13:10-17-And He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And there was a woman who for eighteen years had had a sickness caused by a spirit; and she was bent double, and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said to her, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.” And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made erect again and began glorifying God. But the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, “There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day.” But the Lord answered him and said, “You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him? “And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should

she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day? Do you have illness? This was the status of this woman who came to Synagogue to find comfort and healing of her pains and sufferings. This means that in time of disasters and misfortunes in life, let us come to God without hesitation. Take note, illness was the hindrance of the woman to meet Jesus Christ: Printing paid by: Neneth - Bobong Balino- Dr. Edith, PhDTony Jordan - CDO.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22) - You just can’t seem to get comfortable today -- but that’s a good thing! Your energy is better spent on moving than on staying put, and restlessness may be just what you need this time. LIBRA (September 23 – October 22) - You’ve got your own needs -- who doesn’t? Still, you need to balance them against those around you, and it may be really hard to come to a decision about who gets what you’ve got to offer. SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21) - Self-confidence ebbs and flows within you -- but right now, it’s peaking. See if you can make the most of this situation and get that perk or new toy you’ve been wanting. Anything can happen! SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21) - Your subconscious mind is more in control than usual -- which can be both fun and a little off-putting. If things start to get too weird for you, just make sure that you’re staying grounded. CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19) - Your sense of hope and possibility renews itself completely today, thanks to one small gesture or message that comes your way fairly early. It’s a good time to commit yourself to a new plan.
