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!

Artificial Intelligence Does Not Understand

Artificial Intelligence does not understand, at least not in the way humans mean the word understanding. This is not a criticism of AI’s capability, but a clarification of context. The confusion arises because we collapse multiple meanings of “understanding” into a single, unexamined concept. When AI performs well in language, reasoning, or problem-solving tasks, we intuitively project human comprehension onto it. But this projection ignores a critical distinction: understanding is not a monolith, but is stratified across contexts. Without contextual stratification, discussions about AI intelligence, alignment, and consciousness become incoherent. We argue past each other, using the same word while referring to fundamentally different phenomena.

Disguising as Equality: A Critique of the Societal Phenomenon We Call Empowerment

  Introduction What if the empowerment movements sweeping the globe aren’t about equality at all? What if they’re merely disguising a chaotic redistribution of power—one that leaves societies fractured, roles meaningless, and traditions discarded? Modern empowerment often dismantles meaningful roles under the pretense of equality, framing success as a zero-sum game: for one group to gain, another must lose. But societies like the Philippines show us an alternative: honoring roles through recognition, celebration, and ritual —without tearing down the structures that give life meaning. The Illusion of Empowerment as Equality Empowerment movements—feminism, LGBTQ+ rights, racial justice—often frame their goals as "equality." Yet, their methods frequently demand role reversals, erase traditions, and force conformity, creating new hierarchies rather than balance. For example, women encouraged to "lean in" to corporate roles often face burnout because the system wasn...

'nak ng...sa tagal ko ng naka-online sa internet, ba't ngayon ko pa naisipang gumawa nito? di ko naman kailangan. isa lang po ang sagot jan... WALA ako magawa. "as in". sinubukan kong kumain, matulog, manood ng t.v., mag-istrol sa hanep kong box-type pero ganun pa rin. WALA ako magawa. "as in". pero ngayon susubukan kong gumawa ng blog at tignan ko kung tatagal. try kong ilista nangyayari sakin, sa asawa't anak ko. sama ko na rin mga kaibigan, kamag-anak, at ibang kakilala. dadagdagan ko pa ng mga ginagawa, pinupuntahan, kinakain at iniinom namin. sa madaling sabi "everything under the sun" basta tungkol sa'kin.
