Filing My Income Tax Return

I hope everyone did their obligation already to our country..filling and paying the Income Tax before due date. Officially, the deadline was April 15, 2012 but this date falls on Sunday, so it was extended until April 16, 2012.

Filing after the due date, will just add your amount of payment because of penalties and surcharge imposed. And take note guys..the penalty is very high, almost half of your total payment. So its best to apply earlier to avoid rush in the office and most of all to avoid PENALTIES.


Its a bit complicated in filing the income tax but after you thoroughly study the flow of the application in the office, it turns out quite simple. They have a new form which it requires the tax payer to fill up all the necessary information and if possible not to leave blanks. The complexity started with the new form because of the changes made in filing. Though its still similar to the old one, they just revised and make it more specific.

In my case, I even pay after deduction of my tax withheld. This was due to my company's policy that only 2% to be deducted from my monthly salary and I cannot list my 3 children as my dependent because they were already listed in my partner's tax. So, this year I opted to pay by installment for I was out of budget already. Probably I will pay my 2nd payment by last week of June due to deadline for the 2nd quarter will be on July 15, 2012.

So, do your obligation guys this is our way to help our country. Do not think about corruption in the government, because for not paying your tax is a form of corruption too.

Celebrating Easter Sunday

I was contemplating if I will share our weekend celebration of Easter Sunday because its quite late already to post. But here I am now sharing our escapades last sunday.

Basked by the idea to go swimming, so we hurriedly prepared the things needed for swimming that morning like swimsuit for my daughter and trunks for my boys.And of course, sunblock for our skin protection. But, before that, we solemnly attended the Easter Sunday Mass, to celebrate the day that Jesus Christ Risen from the dead.

My kids were jumping for joy when we were heading to our fave beach the 4M's beach. They love water and they love swimming. They often murmur to go the beach or pool.

Though the place is undeveloped, but water, is definitely good for swimming and you can even stay under the trees while in the water. Unfortunately it was low tide that time, so the kids were just enjoying playing in the sand, digging, lying and having fun collecting sea creatures.

They were amazed by this star fish.

How about you, how did you spend the Easter Holiday?

Sumptuous Lunch @ Sarangani Highland

Actually every time we had a family celebration, we spent it here, enjoying great foods in Sarangani Highland. I made a review of the Place and everytime we came here the place is improving a lot. Infact, expansion is going on and more surprises waiting to attract more visitors
Most of our food served were fish and vegetables, a healthy delicious lunch. Since my kids adore sweet taste sauce, we tried the Glan Humba, their version of adobong baboy.

Of course, steamed lapu-lapu was also very delicious. The mango shakes were served first and we cant stopped the kids drink before food served. I paid alsmost P2,200 including my tip to the waiter. The price was a bit higher than other restaurant here but because of the relaxing place, my rate is 4 stars..
