Okay, so I’m having trouble maintaining a regular posting schedule for this blog. What with all the work that being a teacher entails, and even more importantly, how much time doing a masteral thesis actually eats up. All the same, I will try a bit harder to put in a post once in a while. Starting now!
I recently replaced my cellphone, a Motorola Razr v3i, with a Nokia 6500 Slide. The Razr has served me well all throughout college (undergrad) and I thought it was time to finally get a new one. So for my Pick-of-the-Week I give you, the Nokia 6500 Slide. Tadaa!

For my 2nd Pick-of-the-Week post, I’m picking the Creative Zen (Portable Media Player)
My Creative Zen (4gb)
Ok, so maybe everyone who has an iPod (in any of its various flavors), or at least anyone who has tried them out a bit, would say that it’s the best portable media player out in the market. Well I have to agree. There’s no doubt that in terms of sound-quality, user-friendliness, and overall fashion-sense, it’s clearly the best right now and probably for a long time to come.
There are however some other players out there that have something to offer those brave enough (broke enough), willing to have a go at anything but an iPod.

This post is a continuation of my previous post about stock trading.
As I’ve mentioned on Part I, I started experimenting on stock trading just a few weeks ago. I had absolutely no prior knowledge about stocks, or any kind of formal investment for that matter. Everything I know, I learned from the web and from this one-time free seminar conducted by CitisecOnline. My primary motivation isn’t really to make a lot of money (that would be great though), but to learn how the system works. Considering the minuscule amount of money I’ve invested, I don’t think there really is much to gain besides experience.
The plan is very simple:
“Learn as much as you can without losing too much, and by the time you do have enough money to get serious, you’ve already learned enough not to lose a lot”.

I got this idea from The RubeTube (kudos to Punzki). Since the AFC is a relatively new blog, I thought it would be great to start a post series as soon as possible. Besides giving this blog some structure, it also motivates me to post regularly. In this case, at least once a week.

introduction, pick of the week
It’s simply amazing how easy it is today to start trading stocks in the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) and how very little money it takes to start investing. Just a month ago I had absolutely zero knowledge about the stock market. Except maybe for the fact that a lot of people make money on it and even more people end up losing their shirts. Through a series of serendipitous events (or maybe just a series of coincidences, depending on how you look at it), I found myself learning more and more about stock trading. Now, I’m sitting on top of a few stocks in my portfolio and writing a little about how I started.
