#barre3challenge

Yay! It finally started last week, I have waited for the challenge to begin since I signed up. I'm in love with Barre3 and the wonders it does for my body. I have been doing ten minute exercises in the morning and when I have the time I opt for the 30-40 min workouts. So the challenge is to try one of their recipes every week and do one ten minute exercise and 4 -hour long exercises. During the first week I felt like..... DYING! hahah I was in pain after the first day. Well, honestly I didn't do much exercising during the holidays and I paid for it. =P It's a good kind of pain though. You know their exercises work because you feel it in every inch of your body. And this is one of the reasons why I'm never going back to the gym. Barre3 is more effective, it targets every part of your body. Believe me, I never thought I had muscles in some parts of my body until I started taking Barre3 seriously. To be honest I didn't get to do the 4- hour long exercises for the f...

We're looking forward to this year with all our goals and plans. My hubby and I were able to sit down and talk about our goals for this year and we're very hopeful that most of them will transpire by the end of the year. It will be a very busy 2016 with all the trips and business expansions scheduled for us. And we feel that 2016 will pass by so quickly. We don't have any new year's resolutions because it's just not for us. We have goals instead. As for my personal goals... we'll I think I will focus more on my health and diet. I've signed up for the Barre3 challenge. I have a different post for that and will soon update if I'm able to move from all the muscle pains I have after doing the exercises. =D Those are my kind of pain. As for the kids, the goal for this year is to teach them the value of money. I bought them a wallet and I started giving them coins everyday for them to save  up and use when they want something. They also started making kidd...

Setting Up Your Business in the Philippines 2

There are 3 business forms that you need to decide on.  Single Proprietorship, Partnership and Corporation. The taxation, finances, decision making and business model greatly depends on the type of business you pick.  Here’s a small jist of the forms of businesses just to give you an idea of what they are: Single or Sole Proprietorship: This type is owned by a single owner. The gains and liabilities, operations and decision making is all on the owner. Taxes are also shouldered by the owner himself.  It is the simplest form to set up. Partnership: As the name connotes, there are two or more owners sharing control of the business. It may be equally divided or otherwise as stated by their agreement. Just like the first type of business the taxes are also shouldered by the owners meaning they are taxed on their individual rates. Corporation: There are no limits to the number of owners of a corporation. The owners of the corporation are ...
