Sometimes ignoring the simple rules can be costly to us.  I am sure that at one point or another in your life, you are hassled by challenges or issues that are the result only of ignoring simple rules and trivial dogmas known as common sense. If you are a scholar for example and you failed to be conscious about your behaviour in your school despite making all the grade requirements, it can cost you your precious free tuition fee privilege and much more. If you are driving a car, you know that a...

Are you really old to pass the CPA exams? Are you one of those plagued by this question “Can I Still Take the CPA Review and Pass the CPA Exams after 20/10/5 Years from college?”.  If you are, then read on.  If not, read as well so you know what you are up to if you delay taking the CPA board exams after college. This is one of the most sensitive questions I have ever encountered with the group of people at www.PinoyCPA.com.  I received this PM many times in different variation. “Do...

Eyeballing with PinoyCPA.com Officers Yesterday, I had an opportunity to meet and Eyeball a bunch of young guys and gals who are the Officers of PinoyCPA.com at Lutong Macao at Megamall. They are the Blue, Green and Pink people in the forums (except those in the Middle East like Insekto, Clever and Urajimaru. Pawnedking begged off for this event). It was an exciting experience for me because for almost a year of talking to these guys via the forum and chat, yesterday is the only time I met them....

Before I became a CPA, this question lingers in my mind – How did those CPAs already done it – knowing how hard it is to pass the CPA exams.

It has been a while since I last logged here.  I did not realized that there are people now following me on this site.  It is both good and bad.  It’s good for one because more people will know whenever I update the blog.  Bad because I have been too busy with PinoyCPA.com and have a hard time udpating this blog.  I will try hard from now on.  I will have to post new insights and ideas here. Anyway, as you will know I frequent the CPA forum PinoyCPA.com.  I have been busy taking care...

Yesterday the result of the CPA Board Exams is released to the public. When I looked at the list, I can’t help but remember how exciting (I am trembling) to flip the pages of the newspaper to find my name there. It was one of the most joyful moments in my life especially when talking to my parents about it on the phone. I recalled shouting in the middle of the street “CPA na ko! CPA na ko! Yahoo!” like crazy and people and bystanders are laughing at me. I remember how that single...
