From Dawn Till Dusk

It’s Friday today on my side of the planet and am already in a weekend mode. Good thing there’s nothing much to do today, except for some pending paper works for Hubby related to our little growing business. First on my list of to do’s which I have accomplished this far is our monthly billing statements for our clients. Gee, that sure is important and it was what I prioritized or else, our delivery boys will not be salaried tomorrow.

My second task would be to do our BIR papers like SAWT (Statement of Assets and Withholding Taxes) and the Monthly Percentage Tax Return or Form 2551M. Geez, that’s one drawback with a Non-VAT business like ours, you always have to accomplish and file these papers to BIR or else you’ll get penalized. Actually, these papers are really easy to accomplish. It’s only a matter of simulating the income vs. the expenses, then attaching the receipts, and that’s it. Well, that is, if not the lazy me didn’t have the drive to finish thetasks as early as possible. These are those matters that will have a percentage of our hard-earned money going to Mr. Caesar a.ka. BIR, and whenever the end of month nears, it’s just so difficult to accomplish this task.

And since there’s still tomorrow anyway…. Guess what? I temporarily put the BIR papers aside and did something that’s not so urgent. But I swear Hubby would be happy to know this later when he’s home because I’ll claim it’s laziness converted into creativity.

You don’t believe me, don’t you? Oh, well then take a look: Continue Reading »

Last night, I am doing a quick filing of the latest bills and papers we accumulated lately when suddenly I saw some discount coupons attached to Nico’s enrollment documents related to his swimming lessons with BLSS. The coupons consisted of discounts to Big & Small Company’s line of clothing like Spin and Havin’ A Baby. Spin is Big & Small’s line of cool and fun activewear for boys while Havin’ is a great shopping haven for fashionable wannabe expectant Moms.

The discovery of the neglected discount coupons came at the right timing for me because I’ve been really planning to shop the Little Boy his new clothes. Nico’s growing really really fast that the clothes I bought him a few months ago looked as if they shrunk when worn. Heehee.

Anyway, with the coupons, I am expecting to save as much as 10 percent each for my soon-to-be purchases. And since I am going to shop the Little Boy his two new short pants (that would cost around P500 each) plus five polo shirts (worth P350 each), savings I initially computed will be around P275! Not bad right? Considering that the amount I would expect to save, I can readily use it for another purchase. An additional pair of socks maybe? Continue Reading »
