The Classic Accounting Textbook

The Classic Accounting Textbook
It has been almost over seven years when I last saw a practical accounting text book by Conrado T. Valix and Jose Peralta.  This textbook has been revised for the nth time for over a decade now. I am gald to have seen one again. I think this book is much of a compilation of review handouts rather than a real "textbook".  I still prefer Wiley IFRS: Practical Implementation Guide and Workbook or other Wiley textbooks for that matter. 

And what's new with the latest edition of this classic accounting textbook? Listen! There's one unfamiliar name on the face of the book and it reads "Christian Aries Valix".  He is the son of the famous Conrad T. Valix. Will Christian Aries continue the legacy of revising the Financial Accounting book? If so, lets expect that this textbook will circulate and fill the bookshelves for the next two or three more decades.

Goodbye Basyang


At exactly 10:00pm of 14 July 2010, Basyang has left the Philippine Area of Responsibility. Basyang's strong winds brought me quite a number of inconveniences today as enumerated below:

1. Disturbed sleep (due to very loud and strong winds)
2. Cold morning shower
3. Wrinkled office polo
4. Scorching heat inside the office
5. Humid temperature inside the mall during dinner
6. Lost cellular signal
7. Lost Internet connection
8. Long flight of staircase (escalators are dead)
