Study finds creative people less honest than more pedestrian thinkers

Korean choir sings "Bayan Ko" - Pilipinas
(13Dec2011 by baylander editor)
It's really amazing to see foreigners singing one of Philippines' patriotic songs just like the one below. Performed by a Korean choir, the "Bayan Ko" song is originally written by José Corazón de Jesús in 1929, and set to music by Constancio de Guzman. The song was written as a protest during the American occupation, now it is common in protest rallies and demonstrations.
Well, whatever it is, the message is powerful enough to ponder, "love of country".

Why spend so much?
(12Dec2011 by: oriental baylander)
Christmas is just days away. Let this humble representation share a simple reminder, not just for Christmas perse but throughout the year. Although simple and easy to understand, many of us have yet to internalize its essence. And sometimes putting into practice is impractical for others. Well, let us think of our future as much as we think of the present.
The image you can see here speaks for itself. Lavish spending will further put our finances and our nation into the brink of financial downfall.
To improve our finances and have a better life, I encourage myself^I^ and you to consider three simple steps:
1. Begin eliminating debts. Spending less than we earn frees up the money we need to make larger payments on debts. Remember that only the debtor that is responsible in paying debts, NOT friends, relatives or other people.
2. Begin to save. Build up some cash in your own savings account, this is also for emergency and retirement purposes.
3. Free yourself from stress. No debt, no stress. You are more confident to think of your future plans. Be thrifty.
