MetisEtrade held the Happy Trading Hours December 2013 Finals at their head office in Fort Bonifacio Global City. The defending top trader, Gabriel Vergara (5.27% gains), was able to keep his title, securing him a spot for the finals on October 2014.

Happy Trading Hours is a weekly financial event conceptualized to cater for trading enthusiasts. HTH happens every Friday, during the hours when the financial market moves the most. This infotainment (information with entertainment) is a combination of a seminar and a demo competition - to educate the basics of volatile forex trading.

The 13 teams that participated can only trade Gold, USDJPY, EURUSD, and GBPUSD where each member of the team can trade at least 3 times with only one instrument out of the four. Team Gabriel was only ahead by $1 against his closest competitor, Mariestelle who finished second. Mariestelle was the best trader in trading Gold (25.4%) while Team Louie Ngo excelled in trading the British Pound (9.82%) and the Euro (7.93%). Team Gabriel dominated in trading the Yen (3.24%).

Filipinos are truly creative....even in naming their children.

Last December, when the University of the Philippines released their UP College Admission Test (UPCAT) results, we saw one name that was quite odd and thought it was some sort of clerical error. Later we found out that it was confirmed correct as per Facebook post of Sincerely Yours 98 herself.

Yes! You've read it right! Sincerely Yours 98 it is! Truly for short!

Sincerely Yours 98 Pascual or Sincerely Pascual on her Facebook page is actually the third among three siblings with very unusual names given to them by their parents. Their father was the one responsible in giving the "yummy" food names to them composed of his kuya names Macaroni 85 and her ate Spaghetti 88.

We all know how the saying goes right? ‘Magasawa ka kapag may trabaho ka na!’ or simply put, get a job then get married. But in reality, this isn’t the exact case.

Here in the Philippines, we all know for a fact that the numbers of jobless people are far greater than those with proper jobs who earn enough for their families. Now, let’s start with that thought; A large number of jobless people are married and have a lot of kids. Just the thought of providing for a large family with around P500 worth of everyday budget isn’t enough. That alone could say that we should get a career first, or get a decent paying job, before ever thinking of marriage. A blunter way of saying it is ‘Make yourself useful and productive before claiming your girlfriend/boyfriend in the altar’. Kinda harsh in my opinion, but that’s how some would put it. Of course, there are even more reasons to this.

Let’s look at a futuristic sense, shall we?
