 The SSS going digital is one of the best things that has happened there in the last few years. They also made it easy to get an estimated amount of the retirement pension one might get by the time they become eligible by age 60 or 65 years old.  Above is the screenshot from the official SSS website as of February 2021 - this is the SSS Retirement Benefit Estimator . It is really helpful. Here is the direct link:  https://www.sss.gov.ph/sss/portlets/retirementestimator/retirementEstimator1.jsp Visit the link, input the required fields, fill the captcha, and submit - super quick and easy to use.

New year's eve dinner... Braised chicken quarters with pineapple ala hamonado 😋 NYE dessert... Silvanas "gems" by Sweet EsCakes. I bought this from a neighbor. Different flavors sya like green=matcha, violet=ube, white=coconut, etc. Sarap din 😋

Noche buena 2020. We cooked the shrimp & green beans. I pre-ordered the beef morcon from a neighbor... 👍😋 Cravings satisfied! Christmas day brunch with the leftovers. Sarap padin.

Ugh... Beware sa mga bank scammers! I answered a call without looking at my phone (I normally look first but since I was expecting a call, di ko na natingnan)... She has a soft voice and asked for my name. I said that's me, and she went on to say that she's from BPI and they are offering to waive the annual fee for life for my card (she said the last 3 digits too) and increase my limit pa. She then said she needs to confirm the code or details on my card... Weh what?! On my card daw = RED FLAG! Totoo lang, I was interested dahil waive annual fee nga daw but since wala pa yung replacement ko, di sya natuloy kasi dapat daw activated ang card. Sasabihan nya daw yung department nila tungkol sa delivery at tatawag naman daw sila ulit para sa offer... At this point, nagtataka nako sa sarili ko - why am I still speaking to this person? Kakagat pa talaga ako sa pain nya ha! Afterwards, nakita ko na cellphone number ang gamit nya = RED FLAG nanaman! OMG, scammer pala yung kausap ko!
