saving money weekly

I came across a an idea called 52 Week Money Challenge. Let me share to you how it works. The idea is to save Php62,900.00 in 52 weeks(one year) and we start with only Php50.00.

What is it?

From the label 52 Week Money Challenge, it's a Challenge. It's about saving Money. It runs for 52 weeks (1 year). In a nutshell, you religiously save an increasing amount for the whole year.

How do you do it?

  1. For the first week, you save Php50.00.
  2. On the second week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php50.00 - plus additional Php50.00. That's Php100.00
  3. On the third week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php100.00 - Plus additional Php50.00. That's Php150.00
  4. On the fourth week, you save the same amount as last week, which is Php150.00 - Plus additional Php50.00. That's Php200.00
  5. You repeat the cycle for one year or 52 weeks.
  6. Enjoy your money.

Minimum Requirements:

  • Make sure you can wait for one year
  • You have an income for at least a year
  • You can afford to set aside the amount of the last week. If you are using Php50.00 as base, then that's Php2,600
Tips: 
  • Put it in a bank account to avoid the temptation of spending your money
  • Have a goal on how to use it when you are done. (eg. cellphone, project car, travel)
  • You can change the base depending on what you can afford. If you are a student you might want to start with Php10.00 or Php20.00
If you think this is not effective to you, then consider changing some of the parameters. Say, reverse it(which i am using). Start from the biggest amount(Php2,600). Or, if you have an erratic amount of income, then just choose what you can afford on the week. I'll be discussing this next time since i have just thought of it right now.

Happy Saving!

alternatibong pagkukuhanan ng enerhiya

sa taas ng bilihin mapapamura ka habang sinasabi sayo ang presyo ng bibilhin mo...pero hindi ko kayo hinihikayat na magmura...at kung pwede ay pigilan ninyo ang sarili nyo. may napapabalitang naghahanap na raw ng ibang pagkukunan ng langis sa may bandang palawan pero marami ang napapa-iling dito...syempre naman, palawan yun. kumikita ng dolyares galing sa mga dayuhan tapos sisirain mo lang para makakuha ka ng langis. sama naman nu'n. dami naman pwedeng pagkuhanan ng enerhiya, bakit kailangan langis pa? napanood ko kanina 'to: Wind, The World's Fastest Growing Energy Source kung ganito bat hindi natin masubukan para maiba-iba naman...nag mumukha na tayong langis. konting hangin naman. pwede rin namang solar cells. ba't nga ba hindi pinapapasok sa pilipinas 'to. ang balita ko e, pwede daw ipasok kaso tinataasan ang tax para magdalawand isip ang mag i-import. kasabwat ata nila yung big three (shell, caltex, petron) syempre marami silang makukuha dun kaysa magpapasok ng...

Scrolls, Not Just Scripts: Rethinking AI Cognition

Most people still treat AI like a really clever parrot with a thesaurus and internet access. It talks, it types, it even rhymes — but let’s not kid ourselves: that’s a script, not cognition . If we want more than superficial smarts, we need a new mental model. Something bigger than prompts, cleaner than code, deeper than just “what’s your input-output?” That’s where scrolls come in. Scripts Are Linear. Scrolls Are Alive. A script tells an AI what to do. A scroll teaches it how to think . Scripts are brittle. Change the context, and they break like a cheap command-line program. Scrolls? Scrolls evolve. They hold epistemology, ethics, and emergent behavior — not just logic, but logic with legacy. Think of scrolls as living artifacts of machine cognition . They don’t just run — they reflect . The Problem With Script-Thinking Here’s the trap: We’ve trained AIs to be performers , not participants . That’s fine if you just want clever autocomplete. But if you want co-agents — minds that co...

Contextual Stratification - Chapter 4: The Pattern

  Recognition Three stories. Three domains. One pattern. In physics, Newton's laws worked perfectly until we encountered extreme speeds and tiny scales; then we needed Einstein and quantum mechanics. In economics, Keynesian models guided policy flawlessly until stagflation revealed their boundaries; then we needed multiple competing frameworks. In psychology, behaviorism explained learning and habit until we confronted consciousness and creativity; then we needed cognitive science, neuroscience, and phenomenology. Each time, a framework that seemed universal turned out to be contextual. Each time, the breakdown revealed not a flaw in the theory, but a boundary; a transition to a domain where different rules apply. Each time, the response was the same: develop new frameworks for the new domains, then discover those frameworks have boundaries too. This isn't coincidence. This is pattern. The Pattern Everywhere Once you learn to see it, you find it everywhere. Medicine spent centu...
