How Do You Measure A Year in the Life?

Five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets
In midnights, in cups of coffee
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife
In five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes
How do you measure, a year in the life?
How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love

Seasons of love (love)

“Seasons Of Love” by Rent cast from the album Rent: Original Broadway Cast Recording
Composed by Jonathan Larson

I just love listening to this song. Aside from my just plain liking sentimental tunes, this song points out a universal truth – we can measure our lives by different metrics. But, the most important measure still seems to be how we have touched lives and how we have shown love to the people who matter most to us.

Our love for them and our desire to show this, drives us in everything we do. This is the reason why I actually got my first insurance policy. I work hard and it’s important to me that my loved ones will be cared for, regardless whether I’m still here or gone.

August, being my most active month of the year as an entrepreneur and traveler, has pushed my life insurance needs to the forefront.

Problem is, I don’t have the time to meet with financial advisors or insurance agents nor do I want the hassle of discussing and reading all those quotations. Neither do I have the time to go to an insurance office (especially with all the rain during this season!).

Tadah! Thank you #Google! A search in the net showed me #AXAion! The search showed that it’s the Philippine’s first online insurance store where buying a life, health, savings and/or education plan seems to be as easy as 1-2-3!

I decided to try it out. I started with a Visit to: www.axaion.com.ph. There, I found a selection of plans: Savings, Academic, Life and Health eXentials. Finding out how much money I had to put in and grow in these plans was so easy.

Answering the online application form and keying in payment information in the PesoPay (payment gateway) page was a piece of cake. I can’t believe that the whole transaction was paperless from start to finish! There was absolutely no need to print, scan, email or visit a branch! But I did get a quick call from a customer service representative at AXA Philippines. The rep courteously verified my application and some of the things I mentioned in my application

AXA iON is the answer to all of us busy bees who want to get financial products but can’t seem to find the time to get a quotation, apply and pay for this basic financial essential! Easy, convenient, safe and accessible to all!

I think I will get my health and savings plan online again ☺
