10 ways to cut cost

Let's be serious, we are in serious economical disaster. Not in personal ways but nationally, we are pretty screwed so individuals are taking the hit for it. Well here, im gonna give you 10 tips to cut cost.

1) Don't drive: Now that sounds little dramatic but maybe you can drive less. Gas is probably one of the most costly thing we are paying daily basis and it's not like we can tell the gas company to lower the price. Even if we could, they ain't gonna do it. Do drive to work, school, wherever you NEED to be but maybe you can walk to stores and bike to places. Maybe stay home and have fun with your family. Just drive less, don't hope for Gas price to go down; just drive less.

2) Turn off the light: It's simple, turn off the light if you don't need it. When we first moved into the new place, our first 2 month electric bill came out to be $350. I know you think it's ridiculous but we had normal things on like our TV, PC, lights, and Xbox. After that mistake, we decided to monitor our usage and start turning off the lights. we brought the bill down to $100. So turn off the light.

3) Stop eating out: Fast food is part of American life.....but fast food will all add up at the end plus it's gonna make you unhealthy. Cook something at home. You don't know how to? There are millions or recipes online, look it up.

4) Stop buying bottle waters: it's 99 cents a bottle or $2 for expensive water. all that's gonna add up. Why can't you buy Brita and drink filtered water? 

5) Go out less: I do want to see my friends everyday, I want to hang out with them everyday and I want to be there when something happens. But it cost too much these days. You will usually spend about $30 - $50 when you go out. If you can afford it, go ahead, but if you are like me, just go out less. It doesn't kill you to not see your friends for a week. 

6) Do you need all that clothes: This is something I learned while attending college, you really don't need all that clothes. Normally people buy clothes to follow trend, but trend change quicker than stock rate. Buy what you need, are you really that self-conscious that you need to spend thousands of dollars to make you more attractive? Just cover the parts you need to and that it what clothes are for.

7) You can stay in shape without going to the gym: There is a perfectly good school near your house or neighborhood. If you don't have schools around your neighborhood, that means you have lot of open space around you, run.Just run. You will be in shape.

8) Screw Cable: Welcome to 21st century, I don't watch cable anymore, I download it. Thats what you can do. 

9)  Star got your Bucks: I work early in the morning so I know the need of coffee but i can brew my own coffee. Stop buying starbucks

10) Sacrifise: You have to sacrifice whatever that thing that you really enjoy, cut it down to half. I mean like cigarettes, beers, and stuff like that. It's not gonna be easy but all that save money can help with your emergency situations.

These are easy things to follow, you just got to follow it.  Well good luck

    # 7 the gym part..if you can do 150 push-ups no problem..then challenge yourself with the gym otherwise just do body weight work outs:

    1) Good for your joints and muscles.
    2) the strength, shape and look stays with you longer..doesn't turn into fat like what heavy weights does if you stop!
    3) easier on your joints
    4) increases stamina (good for any athletic sport)

Special: My Memory of You(R.I.P Melissa Fagin)

It was 8th grade that I moved to Redmond from Lynnwood. I didn't no anyone but people were nice to greet a foreign kid who still had an accent and weird style. I started to hang around Anthony and one day, I met you with Chris in a weird situation. But you were still funny, you were still gorgeous and you were great person to hang around. Ever since that we all became the 107 st./ block crew. Me with Omar, Phil, Ron, Anthony, and Chris, you with Ashley, Michaela, Moss, Stacy, Rachel; we were friends that were closer than just friends. We formed a family that we promised to be there when others needed help, motivation and support. I remember in 9th grade, I went to your house with Curtis and I think Ron and I remember the look you gave me and later on Curtis told me you liked how I looked . That maybe be take 254 at 9 PM to go back up the education hill to ask you out to be my girl. We dated 1 week but I still remember how me, you, Ron and Ash all walking around Redmond near Junio...

My cellphone history

I had a cell phone ever since I was in 8th grade. Not because my parents were rich and just wanted to spoil their kids, they gave us the phone because they worked all the time and, what do you expect, we wanted it for emergency reasons ;), right? Just like many of you, my first phone was Nokia and we would text, call and play snakes on it. We had to buy ringtones from third party that sounded really nothing like the song. But it was cool and it was new, so I loved it and it served the purpose. Nokia 3390                          But soon after, flip phone era was in. But, nothing really cool was            cool was coming out. It was smaller the better kind of era and it had            to be a flip phone, so I got a Samsung phone that was simple but ok            work with. More games were on it, ringtones became more...

Top 5 Favorite Rappers of PJ

I listen to everything from Rap, Rock, Jazz, Classicial, Blues, Punk, Pop, R&B, Dub Step, EDM and even Folk (No country or Heavy Metal, sorry). But, at the end of the day, my favorite have to be Hip Hop/ Rap. Why? because even though, so many so called music aficionados believe rap isn't really music, rap convey message using slang and code and it really fascinate me of how much creative a person can get. But do not get me wrong; this doesn't mean I like all rappers. If anything, I am more harsh on rappers than a R&B singers. For me, rap got to me creative and unique. Rap got to convey a message that everyone goes through and let the fans relate to the lyrics. Rap shouldn't always be about Money, Cars, Blings and Hoes; I love intelligent rap that actually have a message and meaning. So here is my top 5 rappers. 1) Jay - Z: If you know me, this shouldn't come off as a shock; this guy is my idol. Yes, he does talk about money, cars, blings and hoes; but who does...
