The Rich Man Who Can Never Afford Common Sense

Last night was a tough night for me. Ceasar was having some problems with someone that his landlady owed some money to. I admit it was his fault that his rent piled up.

He was religiously saving money so that he can move to a new place in June. He has been working so hard the whole summer just so he could make the change before classes start.

I can't believe that this person is calling him names for not being able to pay him. Of course, Ceasar was to blame but that doesn't mean he has every right to call him manloloko. I was just listening for a while because I want to understand the situation. I really don't usually interfere with Ceasar's concerns because mainly, he doesn't allow me to unless he feels he needs my advice. But the man went overboard by repeating the same words over and over again and I just couldn't handle it. I spoke up. I usually don't talk back to elders but this man really asked for it. The problem with him is that Ceasar was being honest with him that he doesn't have the money last night to pay them his dues. But he finds it unacceptable. He said that Ceasar should be honest. Now what the hell does he think Ceasar was doing then? Lying to his teeth?!!

I mean, the man may be rich but he certainly lacks common sense. Arrgh!!! Shoot. I'm still shaking with anger just thinking about what happened last night. I'm just so angry last night that I told the man to shut the fu*k up. I don't care how he sees me as a person but I am certain that the way I see him that night is not good and will never change unless he makes me. (As if I care!) Everytime he opened his mouth, he continues to contradicts himself. I'm not really like this, but I'm pretty sensitive when it comes to Ceasar because I know what he was going through these days. That man doesn't know half of what's going on, so I guess he doesn't really UNDERSTAND (because he kept on saying that.. naiintindihan ko naman kayo eh, kaya nga tumagal yung bayarin na to. The point is sino bang may gusto na may utang siya lalo na sa taong maanghang magsalita? The house is like hell, the owner and that man don't care about what is happening with the tenants. Fu*k them!!! I swear this will not happen again, to me or to Ceasar or to anyone that I care about. I will definitely show them that we will not trade our dignity and integrity for P5000. Hey I know it's a lot of money these days but I don't want to make my world smaller and my dignity worthless just for that. UUuugh, some people just lack common sense.

In the end, I lend Ceasar P2000 so that we can get him off our backs, even for a while. Haay, sa katapusan naman ulit.

**next time, always set your priorities straight.

Artist: Daughtry


I'm staring out into the night
And trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love
can feel but they dont live the cost of fame
In pain it feels a different kind of pain
I'm going home to the place where I belong
where your love has always been enough for me
I'm running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
The miles are getting longer it seems
The closer I get to you.... babe
And I've always been the best man and friend for you
To love and make true and I dont know why
You always seem to give me another try
I'm going home
To the place where I belong
Where your love has always been good enough for me
I'm running from you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
Be careful what you wish for
cause you just might get it all
you just might get it all and then some you dont want
be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
I'm going home to the place where I belong
Where your love has always been enough for me
And I'm running from.. you know I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me'
But these places and these faces are getting old
But these places and these faces are getting old
I'm going home
I'm going home

I liked this Mojofly hit the first time I heard it. It talks about accepting things as they are, moving on and being strong. It teaches us to look ahead than indulge in misery and blame.

Kumusta na
Nandyan ka pa ba
Wala na yatang ibang magagawa
Kundi tumawa

Nandyan pa ba
Mga ala-ala
Ang tanging bagay na naiwan
Sa 'ting dalawa

Wag nang paikutin ang isa't isa
Lahat ng bagay ay malinaw na
Di na rin kailangan pagpilitan pa
Di mo na kinakailangan pang magsalita

Nakita ko ng lahat ito
Pinahihiwatig ng mata mo
Salamat na lamang sayo
Ohhhhhhh

Nakita ko ng lahat ito
Pinahihiwatig ng mata mo
Salamat na lamang sayo
Ohhhhhhh

Kumusta na
Nandyan ka pa ba
Wala na yatang ibang magagawa
Kundi tumawa

Nandyan pa ba
Mga ala-ala
Ang tanging bagay na naiwan
Sa 'ting dalawa

Wag nang paikutin ang isa't isa
Lahat ng bagay ay malinaw na
Di na rin kailangang pagpilitan pa
Di mo na kinakailangan pang magsalita

Nakita ko ng lahat ito
Pinahihiwatig ng mata mo
Salamat na lamang sayo
Ohhhhhhh

Nakita ko ng lahat ito
Pinahihiwatig ng mata mo
Salamat na lamang sa'yo
Ohhhhhhh

Mata mo, mata mo, mata mo, mata mo...........

Bette Davis' Eyes

I heard this song while on my way to visit my English professor. The jeepney had good speakers so this was first time to actually hear all the details of the song. I like the beat, the effects, and the voice (husky but sultry).

Bette Davis' Eyes

She's precocious
and she knows just
what it takes to make a pro blush
She's got Greta Garbo's stand-off sighs
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll let you take her home
It whets her appetite
She'll lay you on her throne
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll take a tumble on you
Roll you like you were dice
Until you come up blue
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you
When she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious
and she knows just what it takes
to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

And she'll tease you
She'll unease you
all the better just to please you
She's precocious
and she knows just
what it takes to make a pro blush
All the boys think she's a spy
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She will tease you
She'll unease you
Just to please you
She's got Bette Davis eyes

She'll expose you
When she snows you
She knows you
She's got Bette Davis eyes

SUNDO...

I.
Kay tagal kong sinusuyod ang buong mundo
Para hanapin, para hanapin ka
Nilibot ang distrito ng iyong lumbay
Pupulutin, pupulutin ka

Refrain:
Sinusundo kita,
Sinusundo

Chorus:
Asahan mong mula ngayon pag-ibig ko’y sayo
Asahan mong mula ngayon pag-ibig ko’y sayo

Sa akin mo isabit ang iyong lumbay
Di kukulangin ang ibibigay
Isuko ang kaba tuluyan kang bumitaw
Ika’y manalig
Manalig ka..

Refrain:
Sinusundo kita
Sinusundo

Chorus:
Asahan mong mula ngayon pag-ibig ko’y sayo
Asahan mong mula ngayon pag-ibig ko’y sayo

Handa na sa liwanag mo
Sinuyod ang buong mundo
Maghihintay sayo’ng sundo
