Reminder: Old Peso Bills Demonetized By 2017
The end for year 2016 is fast approaching and with less than
15 days to go, 2017 will be a fresh new year to start with. And speaking of
fresh start, I am reminding everyone that next year, our old Peso Bills which were launched more than 25 years ago will have
no more value by 2017. Yes, this
information is not new you might say, however, being familiar with humanity’s weaknesses,
we easily tend to forget. 😉
By 2017, the Old Banknote Series have no more monetary value. |
Last 2015, it was announced by the Central Bank of the
Philippines that starting January 2016, the old series of banknotes launched in
1985 will no longer be used for day-to-day transactions. By 2016, these old
bills can only be exchanged in commercial banks for new generation of banknotes
which was launched last 2010.
With that said, better check your alkansyas or piggy banks for you might have kept some old peso
bills. You might want to exchange them before the New Year arrives. Else, it
won’t have any monetary value by January 1.

Yahoo Discovered New Information Theft! Encourages Its Users to Change Passwords Immediately!
Earlier this afternoon I received a very important email coming
from Yahoo. I am currently using a
yahoo email address for most of my personal accounts and so I took some
precautions before opening it. The email turned out to be an authentic email coming from Yahoo. If
you have an email account in Yahoo, then you might want to check this very
important notice.

Based on the said email, Yahoo is informing its users that they
have found out (with the help of forensic experts) that more than 1 billion yahoo user
accounts data were stolen by hackers. This cyber attack actually even happened
last August 2013. Yahoo has said
that this security breach is distinct from what the company has disclosed last
September 22, 2016.
According to Yahoo, information such as names, email
addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth, hashed passwords (using MD5) and
some encrypted or unencrypted security questions and answers were stolen. The
company then is encouraging its users to:
- Immediately change passwords, security questions and answers. This includes any other accounts (emails other than Yahoo) on which the same or similar information were used.
- Always review all accounts for suspicious activity.
- Be cautious of any unsolicited communications that may ask for personal information or may refer a web page asking for personal information.
- Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from suspicious emails.
Yahoo is also encouraging the use of a Yahoo Account Key, which is a simple authentication tool that
eliminates the need to use a password on Yahoo altogether.
For more information about this issue and to know Yahoo’s security
resources, you may visit Yahoo Security Issues FAQs page in https://yahoo.com/security-update.

Announcement: Malacañang Declares December 26 and January 2 as Special Non-Working Holidays!
The office of the President of the Philippines has declared earlier today Proclamation No. 117 which makes December 26, 2016 and January 2, 2017 to be Special Non-Working holidays. It is well known that the year 2016 has the shortest number of holidays due to most holidays in December falling on the weekends.
According to the said Proclamation, having a longer weekend will promote domestic tourism opportunities in the country and at the same time, will also enable employers to plan appropriate work schedules. This effective planning will increase every company's productivity while at the same time gives more joy to its employees. 😊
This is a good news worth sharing. 😊

Lazada's Grand Christmas Sale this December 12!
Christmas is
fast approaching today and everyone is getting ready to meet and spend the
holidays with their loved ones. This time of the season, it is very common for
most shopping malls and even online shopping sites to offer discounts to their
valued customers. Just recently, I received an email from Lazada (an online
shopping site) that they are having a big SALE
this coming December 12. So, if you’re
planning to buy some Christmas gifts to your loved ones, then you may be
interested to check and shop at Lazada this 12th day of December.
Just visit http://www.lazada.com.ph on
that day. J
Now (to a
more serious matter), although this offer may sound good and very enticing, I
do like to point out that having material gifts this Christmas season is good
(meaning, God has blessed you materially). However,
I could offer you guys a much greater gift this Christmas. Not in a form of
material possession (since this website is not earning significantlyJ) but in a form of
spiritual guidance. Yep, that is to understand the REAL meaning of Christmas! J
To put it
simply, there is a reason why we celebrate Christmas! I will be telling you
this in my succeeding articles about why we celebrate Christmas and what is
Christmas all about in the first place. I’ll be sharing to you the meaning behind
this great celebration. Hope to see you guys again. Until then, have a blessed
CHRISTmas! J

How to Purchase in Lazada Without a Credit Card?
One of the fast growing company today in Southeast Asia is Lazada Group. If you are a person who normally purchase online, then you are very familiar on how this company operates. When you are looking for something and you can't find it elsewhere in your local shopping malls, then you might want to check your item in Lazada's website.
In Lazada, you can almost shop just about anything. The good thing about Lazada is that you usually get to pay for your purchased item only when it arrives in your doorsteps. This is one of its advantages: Cash-On-Delivery. You don't usually get to purchase it online through a credit card.
However, there are some cases where your item of choice cannot be paid in COD. These items are normally purchased abroad. For example, this:
