house design hunt

we've been busy for the past few days about looking for a house to rent on july. we've decided to rent again, buy a separate lot and build a house on that lot. we're hoping for a 500sqm lot around tagaytay. we've got an agent, we're studying loan possibilities and we might take a trip to the location next week.

now what we need is a design for the house. i'm not an architect but i know how it works. i just need some inspiration. so, i ended up looking for designs in the web. google gave me design-house.com. looking at their catalog seemed to impress me and my wife. particularly this design.

here's the link

the lot is not situated near the beach so might not be an option for us. but, designs like this inspire me. so, if you're looking for a design too and ended up in this blog, try visiting their website at http://design-house.com/

envelope budgeting

i've always had a hard time saving up for the rainy days. i'm always stuck in the part where i have no idea where the money is going to. and believe me, i hate that part. so i scoured the net to look for ways how to solve this eff-ing problem and googled(i wonder if this verb is already an entry in the dictionary) budgeting . then i thought, why don't i just check its wikipedia entry . unfortunately, all information inside that entry were on a macro-scale of the word itself. and fortunately, except the "see also" part. there lies the phrase envelope system . although there's just a small info about it, the description how the system works gives enough overview on how it works basically: enough to make me save. "Typically, the person will write the name and average cost per month of a bill on the front of an envelope. Then, either once a month or when the person gets paid, he or she will put the amount for that bill in cash on the envelope. When the bi...

Understanding Large Language Models (LLMs) Using First-Principles Thinking

Instead of memorizing AI jargon, let’s break down Large Language Models (LLMs) from first principles —starting with the most fundamental questions and building up from there. Step 1: What is Intelligence? Before we talk about AI, let’s define intelligence at the most basic level: Intelligence is the ability to understand, learn, and generate meaningful responses based on patterns. Humans do this by processing language, recognizing patterns, and forming logical connections. Now, let’s apply this to machines. Step 2: Can Machines Imitate Intelligence? If intelligence is about recognizing patterns and generating responses, then in theory, a machine can simulate intelligence by: Storing and processing vast amounts of text. Finding statistical patterns in language. Predicting what comes next based on probability. This leads us to the core function of LLMs : They don’t think like humans, but they generate human-like text by learning from data. Step 3: How Do LLMs Wor...

reversed 52 week money challenge

It's highly suggested that you read 52 Week Money Challenge first before proceeding with the article. If you are still reading then I'll assume you know most about it already. Let's continue... So you can wait for one year? Very good. And you think that you'll have continuous income for a year? Even better. You can afford to set aside Php2,600.00? Cool! You think that the challenge will not work for you?(for some reason) Then try this one for size Start from the biggest amount and work your way in reverse. So, if you are using Php50.00 for your start week, then you start with Php2,600.00. e.g. as follows 1st week - Php2,600.00 2nd week - Php2,550.00 3rd week - Php2,500.00 4th week - Php2,450.00 etc... etc... Hence, it's call Reversed 52 Week Money Challenge. Since it's the same challenge, but in reverse. What is so different about it? I just feel that I won't finish the challenge with the normal way of doing it. I felt tha...
