CGA DO MORE CONTEST

For those planning to enroll in the CGA program in Ontario, they have an ongoing contest right now. It is called "The Win More Contest".  Basically, you just have to register your email address and you already have a ticket.  And if you can refer others, you will get another ticket once they join.  This contest is drawn monthly and has one $2,500 and one $750 scholarship prizes.  If you can help me out, just send me your email address so that I can refer you! =)

CGA Assessment Part 1

After landing last July 30, we never really intended to pursue any accounting designation.  We figured that we don't have the funds and it is very time consuming.  However, things changed after a few weeks.  The more we meet people, the more interested we were in getting an accounting designation.  Now the question is, what designation should we pursue?  We looked over the internet on the post and cons on each designation and ultimately, we chose the CGA (Certified General Accountant).  Why CGA you ask?  Listed below are the reasons:

1.  We were able to get a free CGA Assessment from an organization.  (More on that organization in future post).
2.  The same organization that offered the free assessment will also subsidize part of our first enrollment fee.
3.  I really liked the balance of their program.
4.  They have an ongoing raffle for a 2,500 scholarship.
5.  I got a lot of exceptions.

Okay, the last two items really sealed the deal.  =)

Things I Will Miss 3


It's been four months now since I landed and I somehow remembered an old photo taken from my mobile phone before we left.  This is one of my last KFC meals in Manila.  Up to now, I wish Canadian KFC branches will do the same.
