Things I Wish I Knew When I was in My Teens

1. We are all vain and most problems begin there

We all have that need to feel important, to feel needed, wanted and valued. When someone pays attention to us, regardless who that someone is, we fulfill that need and we cling on to that person who fulfills that need for us. We often mistake this for love. Dumb.

2. Your metabolism will slow down

So establish physical habits that will help you lose weight when you reach your 30s like a sport or outdoor activities and start establishing a diet that will help your body rely on natural foods over processed ones.

3. That trendy look you have now will cause you lots of embarassment in your 30s

So stop following the effin' trend. Seriously, at some point, someone in your family will bring those photos out and cause you your self-respect. So, for the love of god, stop following effin' trend. No trend is artistic enough the pepetual desire of fashion brands to sell new clothing.

4. At least one member of that boyband is gay

Enough said.

5. Some embarrassing things are bound to happen

monthly period stain someone you are gossipping about will hear you talking about her you will get unintentionally insulted by your crush get caught cheating by your teacher fail to answer a really easy questiony your friends will see your childhood photos your friends will meet your parents

6. Just do it

While you don't have bills to pay and not worrying about your children's milk and tuition fees, do that thing you want to do now. If you want to audition to some movie part or enter that writing contest or study photography or practic soccer, do it. Just do it. There will never be a perfect time for anything but there will always be a wrong time for something. So do it now, while you can.

7. Stupid vs Mistakes

There are mistakes and there are earth-shattering stupidity. Kissing that guy is a mistake, having sex without contraception is stupidity. Staying up late on a school night is a mistake. Flanking Algebra is a stupidity. Sneaking out is a mistake. Being photographed naked while you are passed out after sneaking out of home is stupidity.

8. The world will turn upside down

Those people you laugh at, at least 50 percent of them will end up employing thousands if not millions of people. Most likely, you will be employed by one of them. SO be nice and never understimate anyone.

Jabbawockeez, Ben Chung and America's Best Dance Crew

America's Best Dance Crew is back after 5 years of absence and it inspired to make a come back to my unfortunately abandoned blog. I am not a dancer. Although I can certainly move to the groove I am far from being graceful. It is, however, ABDC that inspired my appreciation of hiphop as a dance. Season 8 brings together the past champions from almost every season including Super Cr3w, Quest Crew, Elektrolytes, I Am Me, And We Are Heroes. Kinjaz is the 6th group composed of different choreographers in the industry including a Jabbawockeez, Ben Chung. From a marketing perspective, there is no better way to bring back a TV show but to pull in marketing aces they have in every season. After all, most, if not all, of these groups have developed a loyal following brought about by their success after their ABDC stint. There are a few, however, who are not as successful but that is a marketing tool in itself. This season is a restart both for ABDC and to many of the crews a...

Do You Wish You Are Younger?

"Why weren't I born in the 90s?" I was with a friend for over 6 hours yesterday and we did talk about a whole lot of things but that was the thing I remember the most. She was talking about this hot guy who was in his mid-20s and she is in her mid 30s. She can't help but envy those college student who has a "chance" with the guy. Let me get something clear. This hot guy she was talking about is an international celebrity. Not that you can't dream big, look at Katie Holmes. There is also David Beckham who declared he was going to marry Posh Spice when he was still unknown. Then there's Carolyn Bessett who told her friend she will marry JFK Jr. someday.  As bad of an example as it may be, the truth is that there is still some sort of standards when it comes to dreaming big in this sense.

How I Earn $500 a Month Online Without Selling Anything

By -
I found a new way to make money online, Admailr, they put text-based ads on your newsletters and other publication. That’s how I pumped my monthly online earnings to $500 a month. Five hundred dollars a month is not much. There are others who do online marketing full time and earn more than $20,000. I’ll get there. I know I will but considering I started only this year, I’d say the $500 monthly is acceptable.  Unlike others, I am honest about the fact that it’s a lot of work. Since I quit my 8-5, one of the things I explored is making money online. I’ve tried different ways to make money. In fact, I continue to try different ways. Someday, I want to be able to drop all my clients and just rely on writing and other ways to make money. Now, I make just enough money for grocery and to afford eating out once or twice a week. Nope, not enough to pay other bills or send my sister to school, just enough for my food. Click here for New Writing Opportunities for 2013.
