"That's personal."
Corny, I know. And its not even a joke. Care to guess why its personal? No? Because it's a mess! So messy, I've hit mid-life crisis and have nothing to my name (ok, that's an exaggeration, like I said, it's personal). Certainly not for lack of knowledge, I've read dozens of books about it, and while I can't exactly teach a course on it, I can easily pretend that I do (or so I claim, I don't really have proof.) So when I came across Carlo Ople's blog about a free personal and practical finance forum, I wasn't sure if I wanted to go.
Of course being the loser that I am, I didn't really have plans last Saturday, so I went. And boy was I glad I did. J. Randell Tiongson was cool, he was funny and witty, he seemed nice and warm, and he had a way of presenting finance in such a basic and simple way that made you want to listen and pay attention.
Oh yeah, and I forgot, one more reason why it was cool! Free food!
Sorry, I messed up this photo, but it was really good. Thanks to Quick Plate which was Mia's, Randell's wife, catering company.

I had a great time there! He was really good at explaining stuff to finance dummies (i.e. me), and the food was excellent.
Great event! Love the food!
I'm glad that I've met a lot of bloggers. This is my first time to be in a bloggers' event. This will be very memorable. ^^
Cheers!
