Time check: 2:48 AM

Done with my work today. I just finished some workloads, which led me to work overtime a bit. I'm so tired after working and attending three meetings 😂. I'll see them again tomorrow. What motivates me to work is the salary. 😂

BIR stresses me out, lol. I'm qualified for the 8%, but they said I'm only eligible to update it for the next taxable year. Anyway, I computed my possible annual taxes since they assigned me to the graduated tax, and I guess I should just take it for now. But if you compute it in the long term, it's cheaper to pay if we choose the 8% option. I just need to complete my errands for today, where I'll manage my financial obligations. If I didn't have plans to travel overseas, I wouldn't even plan to register with BIR.

This day, I'm getting stressed about my BIR registration. I availed of the 8% OSD since it's better for freelancers who don't have many business expenses. However, I saw 2551Q - QUARTERLY PERCENTAGE TAX RETURN after checking my Certificate of Registration. Fortunately, ChatGPT and Gemini noticed these problems, and I hope they can still be fixed. It might be a registration issue, and I'm glad to say that I already spotted this problem early. I'm just complying since I want to apply for a visa soon and travel internationally without further problems. If you will asl me, I didn't want to stay in the Philippines any longer. At least I can experience the convenience that we deserve by flying outside of this country.
