Live BELOW Your Means.....

I don't know how to start.

All I can say is when you don't have money to pay for rent, don't even think of getting your own place. Save for the future and hope to save enough to invest on your own property or condo or house. There's no point in working your butt off to be able to pay a rent you can barely afford just so you can boast to others that you've broken free from your folks.

I'd rather live with my parents, get my own room, my bank account intact, my wallet fat with cash, able to buy things I want, go out & spend when I want to, than to have my own place dying with hunger, not knowing where the hell to get money for the damn rent, utilities, and building dues.

Shop for necessities ONLY! Yeah, yeah..... Girls were born to shop. But seriously, how many shoes, strands of FAKE pearls, handbags, all kinds of bags, make up, bottles of perfume, does one need in a lifetime? Certainly not that much.

I guess other people would rather look good (even if in reality, they look like a walking overly-trimmed christmas tree), than have a disposable income, or food on their tables.

I say invest on key pieces. Classic styles, quality shoes, bags, and REAL jewelry that'll last you longer than the current clothing or accessory trends. How long are you going to wear that generic-looking antiqued dangling earring anyway? Don't your ears hurt? Doesn't your neck get itchy because of all those 'trendy' fake necklaces you wear?

Yes, you can treat yourself OCCASIONALLY to luxuries but only if you absolutely deserve a treat.

Stop buying coffee at Starbucks! Seriously, what's the difference between the coffee in the office pantry and the coffee you buy outside? They taste the same to me! You think hanging out and being seen in Starbucks will make you look trendy and sophisticated? Take another look! You're just like everyone else! Generic, boring, and hooked up on overpriced caffeine.

In case you didn't know, caffeine is bad for you. Just like your nicotine addiction which also makes you stink.

Why do you need braces? Nothing's wrong with your teeth. They look perfectly fine. Then again, I'm not an orthodontist.

Did you know that contraption in your mouth doesn't make you look cool? It's a corrective device! Like wearing back braces or leg braces to correct whatever's crooked in your body. So why fix it when it isn't crooked? You want crooked teeth to go with those braces? Come on over, I'll punch you.... It'll give you good reason to visit an orthodontist and spend good money on braces and whatever dental surgery needed after I'm done bashing your face.

As much as possible, pay with cash. A credit card should only be used for emergencies! Owning a credit card doesn't make you seem rich. It makes you look like you don't have money to pay for that coffee you're buying or that faux leather bag you've been eyeing for months. Besides, the interest itself is ridiculously high, in case you haven't been reading your statements, that alone should stop you from using them plastics!

Oh, one last thing. Stop acting like you're born with a silver spoon in your mouth. It's not amusing. You're making a complete fool out of yourself, it makes people want to stick a big wooden spoon from Baguio up your flat butt.

So again, live below your means, or you'll die a sad, sorry miser.

Dyslexic Heart

Paul Westerberg

You're shooting glances and they're so hard to read
I misconstrue what you mean
Slip me a napkin, and now that's a start
Is this your name or a doctor's eye chart?

I try to comprehend you, I got a dyslexic heart.
I ain't dying to offend you, I got a dyslexic heart.

Thanks for the book, now my table is steady
It's a library or a bar
Between the covers I judge you as ready
Half-angel, half-tart

I try to comprehend you, I got a dyslexic heart.
I ain't dying to offend you, I got a dyslexic heart.

Do I read you correctly? You need me directly
Help me with this part
Do I date you do I hate you do I got a dyslexic heart?

You keep swayin'
What are you sayin'?
Think about stayin'
Are you just playin', making passes
Well my heart could use some glasses....

Are you stayin'?
What are you savin'?
Or are you swayin'?
Just playing, making passes
Well my heart could use some glasses...

I try to comprehend you, I got a dyslexic heart
Do I read you correctly? I need you directly.
Help me with this part.
Do I love you do I hate you, I got a dyslexic heart

First Car Blues.....

Sheesh..... I never realized owning a car is like taking care of a baby! Maintenance and accessories aren't cheap! Huhuhuhu!

Dancing In The Dark

Bruce Springsteen

I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man I´m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby I could use just a little help
-Chorus-
You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man I ain't getting nowhere just living
In a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby I just know that there is
-Chorus-
You sit around getting older
There's a joke here somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulder
Come on baby the laugh's on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write
This book
I need a love reaction
Come on now baby gimme just one look
You can't start a fire sitting 'round crying
Over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
You can't start a fire worrying about
Your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just dancing in the dark...

Fun For Me

Portishead & Moloko

I dreamt that I was dreaming
I was wired to a clock
Tickled by the minute hand
Tick tock tick tick tock
I dream I'm on a train
And it is making music
I don't remember getting on
Clickity click clickity click
I dreamt that I was very tall
I was bigger than king kong
I heard the bells the bells
Are ringing a ding dong a ding dong
I dream that I am sitting
In the devil's company
He gave a solemn promise
Fe fi fo fun for me
I dreamt that I was chasing
The monster out of me
I caught him in the corner
Ha ha hee hee hee hee
I dream I'm in a tunnel
Between here and now
Scooby doobie
Where would you be?
Bow wow wow wow
I dream I'm at a crossroads
No place left to go
I look in each direction
Eenie meanie miny mo
I dream that I am spying
It's you i'm looking at
There's a knocking at the window
A rin tin tin tin a rin tin tin
I dream I am an ostrich
Head deep in the sand
There is a rhythm that's a playing
Fantastic elastic band
I dreamt that the bogeyman went down on Mr. Spock
Sugar was a flowing
Sock it to 'em sock
I dreamt I saw a moo cow
Jump across the moon
Just a flight of fantasy
zoom zoom zoom
I dreamt I met a spaceman
He took me to his ship
You know he cut my hair off
Snip snip snip
I dreamt that I was sleeping
Asleep for heaven's sake
The dream that I was dreaming
It caused me to awake
fe fi fo fun for me fun for me
fe fi fo fun for me fun for me
I dreamt I was way up I was standing on the top
With the feeling I was falling
bop beep bop
I dreamt that I was jumping in a circus through a hoop
Someone shut the lights off
shoo-be-doop
I dreamt that I was fast
I was never shutting up
I was going in a hurry
I was giddy-up giddy-up
I dream I'm in the park
I'm standing in the nudey
I'm getting what I wanted
tootie fruity tootie fruity
Fe fi fo fun for me fun for me
Fe fi fo fun for me fun for me
I dreamt that I was dreaming I was wired to a clock
Tickled by the minute hand
Tock tick tock
I dream I'm on a train
And it is making music
I don't remember getting on
Clickity click
I dreamt that I was very tall bigger than king kong
I heard the bells are ringing
a ring ding dong
I dream I am an ostrich deep in the sand
Rhythm that's a playing elastic band
Elastic band
Elastic band
Fe fi fo fun for me fun for me
Fe fi fo fun for me fun for me
Fe fi fo fun for me fun for me
Fe fi fo fun for me fun for me
Fe fi fo fun for me fun for me
Fe fi fo fun for me fun for me
Fe fi fo fun for me fun for me
