Howdy, financial blogosphere! After several months of reading personal finance blogs of people around the world and a good dash of procrastination, I finally, FINALLY took a shot at it and made one of my own.

I am a 28-year old girl living in Manila, Philippines. As you all know, Philippines is a third world country (as my blog name suggest) or a ‘developing’ country, if you want to be more politically correct about it.

I live with my parents (and my 2 older sisters.  This is VERY normal, believe me.), finished college in 2001, and passed the licensure exams for accountants (which make me a CPA) in October of 2001. Initially I worked for SGV & Co., the Philippine affiliate of Ernst & Young, as an external auditor but got tired of it and resigned just three months after.

Currently I am working as a Supervisor for a company’s group of Financial Analysts, been here for a little over 3 years. Felt burned out several times already and nearly resigned earlier this year but still, here I am! I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, whatever. Bring it on.

This blog will generally contain my finances, thoughts on finances, and life as we know it, THIRD WORLD STYLE!
