Billionaire

Listening to music is one of my favorite thing. I am writing this because of a song I discovered and listened to it over and over again. When it was on its peak played over the radio I did not notice, but when it was sung on Glee Season 2's first episode, I kinda liked it. I'm talking about Travie McCoy and Bruno Mars' 'Billionaire'. The lyrics by Travie McCoy somehow allows everyone to dream BIG. Once in my teen years I imagined myself with my favorite movie stars and at that time I wanted to become rich, funny but its true...:-)



Billionaire

[Bruno Mars]
I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

[Chorus]
Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I’m a billionaire


[Travis "Travie" McCoy]
Yeah I would have a show like Oprah
I would be the host of, everyday Christmas
Give Travie a wish list
I’d probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
And adopt a bunch of babies that ain’t never had sh-t
Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this
And last but not least grant somebody their last wish
Its been a couple months since I’ve single so
You can call me Travie Claus minus the Ho Ho
Get it, hehe, I’d probably visit where Katrina hit
And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
Yeah can’t forget about me stupid
Everywhere I go Imma have my own theme music


[Chorus]

Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I’m a billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh for when I’m a Billionaire
Oh oooh oh oooh for when I’m a Billionaire

[Travis "Travie" McCoy]
I’ll be playing basketball with the President
Dunking on his delegates
Then I’ll compliment him on his political etiquette
Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twentys (?) completely separate
And yeah I’ll be in a whole new tax bracket
We in recession but let me take a crack at it
I’ll probably take whatevers left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
Eating good sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet
And put it in the air and sing

[Bruno Mars]
I wanna be a billionaire so fricking bad
Buy all of the things I never had
Uh, I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen
[Chorus]
I wanna be a billionaire so frickin bad!

Dogs are truly man's bestfriend


My busy schedule restricted me to see and take care of Potpot (my minnie pincher/shitzu dog). Since living alone isn't fun at all. My cousin gave Potpot to me. It is certainly true that having a pet would really flush away stress. My daily routine with her includes walking, feeding, and playing. I really had enjoyed being with my Potpot.

I do a lot of things for me to earn for a living. And I feel guilt every time I think of Potpot left alone in the house. No one is left to feed her. So, I have decided to return her to my cousin so that she will be properly taken care of.
Every weekend or if I have a vacant time, I pay her a visit. She's still the same sweet and playful Potpot. Though I seldom see her, I am at peace knowing that she's happy in her new home.

Living a healthy lifestyle

I am more conscious with the food that I eat. Just recently, I have had cough and colds and looked really pale because I was anemic. Taking medications and vitamins would really cost a lot. I realized that, I must do something to regain my strength and good physique before its too late. This morning I do some stretching and running around the house, drink a lot of water to replace the sweat that came up of my body. For breakfast, I prepared a healthy meal, porridge with malunggay leaves (Moringa oleifera Lam) with boiled egg and fish.



It's good to start the day right. To live healthy, we need to think,decide and act. Living healthy doesn't need an expensive food, supplement and equipments. Remember that the best things in life are free. So instead of buying, we can plant vegetables and fruit in our backyards. So if you want to live healthy, you decide and begin the action

Wanna be Stress Free? Try Gardening!

Gardening is one of the best things I do after a stressful day of work. By simply looking at the flower's variety of colors already makes my day. I grew up in an environment where everyone loves to grow plants, orchids (Vanda) especially. Though orchids needs a lot of nurturing, when its flower buds start to show, it gives fulfillment. Based on my personal experience, I've listed the benefits I've gained from nurturing plants.
  • It makes you forget your problems.
  • It gives a healthy and clean surroundings. 
  • Greens can give a good eye-sight.
  • You can also earn by selling.
  •  Fulfillment.
Everyone can do gardening or planting. There are a lot of plants to choose.

Take a peek at the orchids I've personally nurtured.

The wonders of Chocolate Hills, Bohol

"I've got the chance to visit one of the eight wonders of the world, Chocolate Hills."

The plan was to just go to Bohol and visit a friend's relative. Never did we think of going elsewhere. Excited, for it was my first time to visit the province. The fare is just fair enough for a chance of a lifetime. Two hours of cruising to reach Tubigon is not enough to enjoy the calmness of the sea. I saw a lot of beautiful islands, I wish I have a photographer's camera to take the details of each island.

When we arrive at the Tubigon pier, Sheila (friend), decided to tour us around Chocolate Hills and Sagbayan Peak. I got more thrilled, as we rode in that tricycle I've only seen in that place. 



It took us more than an hour before we finally reached Carmen, where the famous Chocolate Hills is located. Amazing views of nature God has uniquely created.


My camera isn't really of high quality but I'm lucky enough to have seen the wonders of Chocolate Hills.













The sun was in his mightiest, but I had a bottle of water and a sarong to cover.









 
I jumped for joy!















Next destination:  Sagbayan Peak, in Sagbayan Bohol.






Enough steps to make you ask for another bottle of water.









In Sagbayan Peak, there are few hills, a theme park and water park for kids to enjoy.












Of course, I didn't miss the opportunity to see the Tarsiers.
