During our recent High School reunion, we missed the presence of Jimmy L and Sandy S. both very popular figure in our campus.  A startling news circulated among the group that the duo are in hot water because the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) is running after them and a  tax evasion case was already filed against them.   They are business partners of a  big cargo forwarding and export-import company and apparently they are also “partners” in crime.  The BIR is determined to send tax evaders to jail that has been cheating the government, resulting to massive revenue losses.   Unfair to us who religiously pay our taxes which a law abiding citizen of the country ought to be.  And really it disheartened us knowing there are a lot of  people who are tax cheaters and our friends happened to be among them.

Why do we have to pay taxes?  Paying taxes are what lets our country be as healthy as is and it help fund the government.   Simply put, because it is the LAW!   And if you don’t want to pay, then go to other countries where taxes law is  non-existent.  Since we are law abiding citizens, we see to it that we pay our taxes on time and in the event that we failed to do so, we avail of income tax extension form that would help us get extra time to finish filing our taxes minus the hassles and guilt.

Only if we could only get hold of the two,  they have to hear the good news that there are available Tax Preparation Software that will guide them through all the way to a guaranteed maximum refund and companies such as Turbo tax is a sure help for personal and business taxes.

So, what they did was an unacceptable act and we their batchmates are hunting them too!

Good morning everyone although it is not so good morning for me!   A very close friend succumbed to heart attack just last night and it was only early morning today that I’ve learned about it.  I can only offer prayers for the repose of her soul and her untimely demise definitely is a sore loss for the family.  Technology connected me to her only daughter Sarah because it is physically impossible for me to go to her mother’s wake.  I wanted so much to give the little girl a hug and  know she being a strong willed and a brave girl would find comfort with the thought that her mom was safely home to her Creator.  No more pain.. no more sufferings.. There is peace.. goodbye my friend…

Oh well.. life has to go on.   Good morning everyone!

Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes!  I always find that plus sized woman are beautiful and my idol in that category is my cousin Libby who is a  full bodied woman and her size  does not deter her for wearing fashionable and stylish clothes.  She is a smart dresser and knowledgeable on how to choose the right type, cut, color, fabric and  length to compliment her body type.   That is why, I believe her when she said that she loves herself more and is enjoying her “curvaceous” figure.  I hope that Libby has not totally given up hope that one day she will lose weight but because I haven’t seen on her any effort to lose a few pounds, I thinks she is already resigned to the fact that she will be heavy all her life.  I’ve seen how she struggled with her weight from a very young age to date and as we grow up together I’ve been her loyal and patient shopping buddy and  I shared in all her shopping woes.  Every time we shop for a dress, her insecurity about her weight discourages us to shop around because of the startling fact that the maternity section will be our final destination.  So you see,   there is no use for us to go for long walks and hop for one shop to the other, because we have realized that we were just wasting time to find big sizes .  Lol… those were the days!

But in this modern time,  full figured women will no longer worry because they rest with the thought that the market is teeming with stores of plus size clothing for women.   My cousin Libby swears that since she order her dresses online, there are no more nightmarish experiences when it comes to shopping for her size and dressing up with chic and fashionable dresses.

Excitedly, she announced that she is going to be a plus sized bride soon to a man who finds her very sexy inside and out.   Indeed, my cousin is fat and proud!
