The blinding neon bulbs on the signage located at the stairway of Music Museum reminds me of New York!

The ’70s inspiration reflects last year’s emergence of fresh OPM acts and the return to original compositions. That’s why MYX Channel head Andre Allan Alvarez wants to continue the channel’s legacy, as he aims to jumpstart and support Original Pilipino Music’s new Golden Age.

 

It can be recalled that the ’70s was the Golden Age of OPM. The MYX Music Awards brings back the colorful era with a series of offerings that every music lover will enjoy.

He added that every music and artist — be it rock, pop, R&B, etc. — has its/his own potential of getting known worldwide.

“As a music channel, MYX takes pride in letting artists perform no matter which network or station they belong to. So long as you’re a performer or a musician, MYX welcomes you, regardless of network affiliation,” Alvarez said.

I really enjoyed people watching at Myx Music Awards 2012!

Relik Tapas Bar and Lounge

We felt so lucky that we were one of the lucky ones that were chosen to dine in at the famous Relik Tapas Bar and Lounge at the Fort.

I first heard about Relik last year when Ping Lacsons' son Jeric posted a picture of Angel Locsin and Phil Younghusband attending a halloween party at Relik Tapas Bar and Lounge on his tweeter account.

The rustic feel is undeniable when you enter the door of Relik. An old "baul" is smack right there at the entrance.

Relik's brick walls and dim lights relaxes me.

 

This cool vintage fan adds character to the warm ambiance of the place.

I so love this wall light.

 

 
Antique pieces such as Antique pieces, such as old radios, old-school turntables and old manual typewriters, are strewn all over the place.

 

The place is very cozy.

 

 An old manual typewriter memorabilia.

Even the toilet's door has its own character.

 

My new found friends.

 

Baked Australian Brie  I so love  this! I swear you'll drool when you taste this!

This is one of the best Paella I've ever tasted. Relik don't use kasubha they use genuine ingredients only.

Yummy Beef Salpicao

Pork Sisig

 The food was sumptuous. A must try!

Time Deposits vs. Regular Savings Account

Money doesn't grow on trees, so it's wise to know the best ways to make it earn.

One investment option to earn interest is through a time deposit also known as term deposits. Generally they have:

•   fixed term for several months or year/s
•   the minimum amount is dependent on your bank. 
•   Generally, the amount cannot be withdrawn until due date, but most banks allow for early termination with penalty. 
•   The longer the term the better the yield for your money.

Banks are generally the one who accepts time deposit. By leaving your money to the bank you are actually lending your money to the bank. When you lend to somebody, you want to make sure that you will be repaid. The safety of your deposit is dependent on the bank that you choose. Choose a reputable bank with a good operating history. The Philippine Deposit Insurance Corporation or PDIC insure up to Php 500,000 deposits per account. Make sure you keep your documents in a safe place.


A time deposit definitely earns higher than a savings deposit because a savings deposit hardly earns anything. If you are young, you can keep a part of your money in time deposit but you must also learn about the other options available that can give you a better yield than a time deposit. If you are senior and retired, it is best to keep your savings in a safe investment and a time deposit from a reputable bank.

The type of investment you should choose is dependent on your personal financial situation. You should make your Personal Statement of Assets and Liabilities, similar to the SALN that everybody is now talking about because of the Corona Impeachment Trial that is going on. When you have your Statement of Assets and Liabilities, you can have a better understanding of your objectives for your investment. 

Some questions you should answer are:

• How old are you? 
• How much do you have now? 
• What are your objectives for your investment? 
• What period of time do you think you have before you need the money? 

You should always prepare for your retirement with a specific plan. One formula you should remember is: The higher the interest, the higher the risk and vice versa.
