How To Delete A User Id or Username in Yahoo

So, I accidentally typed my password in the login page in Yahoo and now I want to delete it because it's showing up when you try to log in. I tried deleting cache & history in my Chrome browser and nothing helped. Then I figured it out. Hope this helps someone out there who is in panic mode right now coz you logged in a shared computer like me, lol! If it does, be sure to hit any ad you see on my blog, it sends a cent or two to my account --- and you're welcome! :-) Follow these steps: 1) Highlight the username or id you want to remove. Do not click it. Just hover your mouse over it until it is highlighted.
2) Once it's highlighted, simply hit "Shift+Delete" on your keyboard. That's it. *wink* THE END. Haha!

Planning An Affordable Wedding in Muntinlupa

Yes, I finally got hitched to my wonderful partner/bf/bodyguard for 7 years, Bryan. I had my wedding at St Peregrine Church, Tunasan, Muntinlupa on June 4, 2016. I'm writing about the details to help future brides & grooms who want to hear feedback about suppliers around the area and get tips on how to have a stylish wedding on a budget.





First, the AVP. I just want to show you our AVP (Audio-Visual Presentation) and growing-up pictures and I'm also blogging about it for safe-keeping by uploading it online. The AVP is something I did and which you can also do on your own (or have a family member do it for you) as it costs about Php 5,000 average to make one (so Php 15,000 worth was saved doing this for the three AVP's). You can download Movie Maker or Sony Vegas to create your own wedding AVP for free. I used Sony Vegas (trial) and if you aren't bothered by the Sony logo that appears in the video, (which is just really tiny), then you could easily save 15k here which you can use to spend on other things.

This is our Love Story captured in videos and photos.


And these are our growing up pictures AVP:






Church: St Peregrine de Laziosi, Tunasan, Muntinlupa.

            This church is beautiful inside with fire trees outside, but it's not air-conditioned. There are big fans though everywhere. You have the option to have the mass in either Tagalog or English. I just didn't like that they would publish your full address, mother's name and other sensitive information on their website. Perhaps they can remove your contact details and just stick to your name and partial address (not the exact address with unit number ) as these are sensitive information which can be used against you by web criminals.
Fee: Php 15,000
           You can pay a reservation fee of 2,500 and the remaining must be paid within a month before the wedding date. This includes the pre-cana seminar fee, flowers (I didn't take this as I chose my own flower supplier), candles, ostia, wine & choir.
Choir: Bryan Minstrels.
           They're very good! While I was walking down the aisle, I thought it was an mp3, but the guests said it was someone from the choir singing beautifully. I don't remember the song though... but I give them 5 stars!
Pre-Cana Seminar: It was just one Saturday. It was fine, but there was one facilitator (an old lady) who came across as a bit disrespectful or a bit rude to the couples . I'm trying my best to be as nice in this review as possible so I won't go into details so as not to ruin anyone's day :-).
Family Planning Seminar: The facilitators are good and respectful. It's informative even for couples who already have a child/children like us.
The staff/manangs: You have to understand they don't get paid for this, they are church volunteers, so kudos to them. I would just appreciate it if they just waited at least 2 minutes for my other entourage so they can join. Their car was just right behind mine and my neice, Kylie cried because it's her first time to be a flower girl and didn't get to march. It was our bad, because we were 5 minutes late and they VERY STRICT on time, they don't care about your wedding day sentiments, so be very early.

            I got a discounted price because I attended the wedding fair at SM Aura. So for Php 20,000 this includes the whole church set up, entourage & bride's bouquet, flower for the car (though the bridal car already has it's own flowers), boutonnieres, fans with flowers for the ninangs, flower baskets (with petals) and headdresses for the flower girls (but we have our own flower headdresses) and flower wand for my little daughter as she was the one who walked me down the aisle. The bridal bouquet could be prettier if they had my request for my favorite flowers hydrangeas, but I'm not complaining as they made up in other areas like in the church styling. Everyone was impressed by how they made the church really beautiful.
             They were on time, their staff were nice and friendly. They know how to satisfy a customer. No wonder they always win in wedding fairs. Just look at how they made my wedding beautiful with cherry blossoms:

Pleasant staff, clean, nice car. It was just a white Vios, but they dressed it up and it was pretty cute with a "happily every after" tag at the bumper with our names on it. They were early, and they even had water and snacks inside the car for us. I never got to thank them enough though. I was too stressed that day but the driver and one of their staff just helped me relax a bit in the car. They say you don't really remember what people say to you, but just how they made you feel... and it was just that. I don't remember what they said but they were such nice people who made an effort to personalize the car for us and made my day extra special. Then, they'd send you your pictures via Facebook (unfortunately, I didn't get to see it until months after because it was in my filtered messages). Anyway,  their service is like chicharon on top of your favorite pancit!  Good job guys! Below are the pictures:

              The only thing I regret is not publishing sooner so I can remember all the good things I have to say to them. The owner, Ma'am Gina was so pleasant and calm to talk to. She even purchased some new furniture to complete my theme. The food was delicious and the place, they turned it into something amazing! There were other parts in my wedding that I wish went differently, but this one, oh boy we got this one right! You can see they put a bit of their heart into styling it. I could never thank them enough.
              Only downside I experience was one of their hosts who was rude (it was supposedly part of the whole package). But he was late and also requested to reschedule our meeting twice and used profanity on me. So I asked Ms Gina to take him out of our deal. Thank goodness I forgot his name. If I include him to my rating with Quidos,  it's definitely going down, but I don't think it will be fair because he is just contractor at Quido's and Ms Gina and her team went all out in making sure everything is taken cared of. Anyway, here are some pictures:








Host: Nadine Smith
Fee: Pm me for this as her fees may have changed and is relative to the event
Phone number: I left this out blank, please send her a message at her Facebook page instead

Rating: 5 stars

     Nadine was referred to me by a friend and I booked her on the last minute because I was so disappointed by the host that was supposed to be included in my package with the reception. She was like sent from above and it feels like I've known for so long. She is a warm & vibrant person and it's no wonder her calendar is always full. I'm just very lucky to have a spot in her very busy schedule. Despite this, she would make you feel like you are her only client. She didn't just host it, she planned the whole program! I am very thankful to her coz I didn't have a wedding planner and for her to plan the whole reception program was like half of my worries scraped off my plate.

    Nadine does voice-over for commercials and hosts not just weddings, baby showers, company events among many others. One of the events she hosted was Bossing/Vic Sotto and Pauline Luna's baby shower: http://scenesfromnadine.com/pauleen-luna-baby-shower/





Bridal Gown: Bonaobra Couture
Cost: 9,500 (on sale) + 1500 on the flower pin for the back = Php 11,000

Location: Lower Ground Floor, Stall LGG-08, Phase 5 (Soler Wing) 168 Shopping Mall

     I'm not exactly the type who would obsess on a wedding gown as I don't believe on spending on something I'd only be wearing once. My sister and I went to Divisoria to get one for this. The pin for the flower brooch at the back was missing and didn't notice until I'm at home, but for it's worth, it was beautiful and hides my mommy pouch.

Entourage & Flower Girls Gowns: RG Sebastian

Rating: 4 stars

     I just had the skirts made and let my bridesmaids buy their own blouses of their choice as long as it's white. It's made of blue satin with grey tulle. It turned out pretty nice. The flower girl gowns weren't exactly what I hope it would be, but still it's cute when worn by the flower girls. I give them 4 stars because for it's value, it was rather good, but the customer service sucks. I literally had to chase them to follow up. They don't exactly stick to date agreed and was ready for pick up only within a week before the wedding. It was rather quite stressful. My suggestion is if you would go there and they ask for the date, give them a false date that's about 1 month earlier than your real wedding date.

Here goes the picture of the flower girl dress and my entourage:

Photographer: Perfect Grey
Cost: Php 25,000
Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/theperfectgrey/
Website: http://www.theperfectgreyphotography.com/
Rating: 5 stars

     Perfect Grey isn't exactly cheap. We only had a cheaper rate because we just booked the basic package without AVP, same-day edit nor pre-nup pictorial. We only went for the pictures and with two photographers. There will be at least 3 of them , one would be the assistant to carry the equipment. The pictures can speak for themselves, they are beautiful. Our photographer was Jasper Jouse and his assistant photographer then, James Valenzuela. They are fun to work with and the shots are lovely. Furthermore, for some wedding photographers, the prints come much later like a month or even longer, but for Perfect Grey they came within a week. I was so surprised! The pictures came in a beautiful wooden box.




    I think Jasper has since started his own photography business. If you would like to check him out, this is his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/josuejasper. The impression Jasper and his team left on me (whether or not they are from Perfect Grey) is that they are a crazy bunch. Can crack a smile on a tensed, shy and stressed out bride. You can see they love what they do, especially Jasper, and he is really good at it.


Videograher: Jayday
Cost: Php 8,500 for the videos + 5,000 for editing

Rating: 4.5 stars

     We didn't have the videos edited so I can't really say how it would turn out, maybe 5 stars if we went with them to see the output. But I'm giving the stars, for price value, professionalism and the quality of the videos I've seen. He also uses unique soundtracks which I love they're kind of cheerful.

Hair & Make Up: Make Up Artistry by Addy Masabio
Cost: Php 13,200 (amount doesn't include the hotel guests who thought that it's free if they asked to have their hair and make up done, but you couldn't decline, it's additional Php 800 per head)

Rating: 5 stars

     I found Addy by joining a make-up artist group in the Philippines via Facebook. I posted my budget range and then I let them send me a bid and portfolio. This way I could get to choose the best and most affordable. Just be aware that some may have a cheaper fee but the service isn't good so best to still do a background check of the reviews of the  ones you shortlisted. Addy was among those 3 of the best, but she wasn't my first choice initially because she was outbid by someone with a lower fee. However, two months before the wedding, when I checked in my initial choice, it turns out she has an appointment with ABS-CBN for a shoot with Bella Padilla. I was happy for her and wouldn't take it against her to take this break that came to her. Good thing, I still have 2 more. The second one, had a bit of an attitude. She was late in replying to my messages and I didn't like her vibe so I just made up an excuse to not book her. Finally, as luck would have it, Addy still has a lot. Please note that she is always fully booked so if you want to book her, you have to do it months in advance.

    Addy has great attitude, a real pro and is on time. Even after the wedding, my guests and entourage are still asking me about her for their events because she was really good at what she does. The way she does her make-up is just right. I attended a wedding once where I was a bridesmaid and I felt I looked like a drag queen but I couldn't complain to lessen the stress of the bride. Totally not the case with Addy, I felt like a beauty queen and all my bridesmaids looked amazing! You can see it in the picture above. I was so grateful to her I made her a youtube video showing how she works:


Below is a breakdown of the hair and make-up fee:

Airbrush Make Up for the  Bride: 4500
5 Bridesmaids @800/head 4000
Flower girls (4) 1400
1 Mother of the Groom 800
1 Ninang & 1 my sister (no hairstyle, make up only) 1000
Retouch at the reception and second hair style: 1000
Make up Trial 500
TOTAL 13200

Inclusions: Hairstyle, Eyebrow grooming and shaping
False eyelash application, grooming for groom if same hotel
Retouch at the reception/second look


Wedding Prep: Crimson Hotel
Cost: Php 23,360 (2 nights each for a 1 bedroom suite and a deluxe room, the 1 bedroom suite has breakfast included). The price here is updated, back in 2016 it was only Php 20,000 with 1 extra bed already included.

Rating: 5 stars

     We only had 2 choices for the hotel, Bellevue Manila or Crimson Hotel. After checking out both hotels, we went with Crimson Hotel. The price is just about the same, but Crimson Hotel is the obvious choice between the two. It's beautiful and contemporary, whereas during the time we went to visit Bellevue Manila, I was disappointed. Their elevators looked old, shaky and cheap. It was also hard to get a ride in the elevator in Bellevue as it's always full. We also got complimentary drinks at Crimson Hotel to the bar, but as with the free breakfast, because of the schedule we didn't get to use our stubs. Perhaps next time on our anniversary?

     Below is a picture of the 1 bedroom suite taken from their website. This is the same room we booked and a picture of the groom in the lobby.
   
   



   

Invitation: Invitation Queen by Paul Reufir and Anne Oria
Cost: Php 2,700 for 30 pcs (3 page each) with laser cut envelope and embossed letters but they sent free 20 pcs as complimentary because they were late in delivering them
Phone number:  0955 658 2850
Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/invitationqueencavite/
Rating: 3 stars





    The invitations were affordable and really beautiful, however, I contacted them 6 months before the wedding and yet they only delivered it 2 weeks before my wedding. It was very stressful following up with them. They were apologetic and gave us extra 20 pieces complimentary (appreciated but unnecessary as we only have 100 guests and the 30 pcs invitation I ordered was more than enough). I gave them a good feedback in their Facebook page despite this. Today, I'm only giving them 3 stars because they also did the same thing to a friend I referred and I was embarrassed because the bride had to go through the same stress I went through. Apparently, even if you order 6 months in advance they would only do it around a month before your wedding. They don't understand that you still have to mail them out and get a response from guests. I do not recommend this supplier.

    As for the give-away and souvenirs, to save some money you can just ask a close family member to shoulder it for you. In our case, we are thankful to my sister-in-law, Ate Nice who bought this for us from Davao.






Desert Table: Phoebecakes
Cost: Php 8,000 (doesn't include the delivery fee, I think only Php 500 at that time)
Phone number:  09178370932
Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/PhoebeBakesCakes/
Rating: 5 stars

     Phoebe is our favorite baker. She's from Quezon City but since she's been doing the cakes for every event or party in our family, there's just no other choice but her. For our wedding though she didn't bake our cake because it was part of the reception package. She makes the best baked goodies and one of a kind cakes! You should check her IG page too: phoebebakescakes. She has always amazed us no matter what the occasion is. You would also love her warm smile. She knows how to take care of her clients.





     So there you go. I have been so busy that this blog had been sitting in my draft for two and a half years! Please note that the price here may have changed since my wedding was in 2016. I still hope though that this helps future brides and grooms who are planning a stylish wedding in Muntinlupa without having to break the million dollar mark. Cheers!

What is a Shoe Rag?

I didn't know what a shoe rag was until my daughter was required to bring one in school. This is like a shoe cover which one puts on one's shoes so that the floor wouldn't get dirty. This is commonly used in classrooms to make cleaning easier. I made one for my little girl today. It was easy to make. Just cut a piece for the sole and another for upper part of the shoe, sew them together. Then cut a hole and put a garter. Decorate however you want. Tada! :)

Goodbye Yumpkin




"It's just a dog, you'll get over it."

But you see, I really don't know.

She's just a dog, but she doesn't question my decisions and how I make them. She doesn't shout at me, doesn't hurt me. Doesn't think I'm a bitch or that I'm stupid. To her, I was wonderful and I didn't have to prove myself to her to gain her love and her trust.

Yumpkin.June 23, 2008 -December 27, 2014




She would patiently wait for me and understood that I also have a human family that needs my time and energy to be taken cared of. She didn't mind it. She'll wait for me and still think I'm the best.

I have not done enough for her for all the love she gave me.

Thank you Yumpkin for the six beautiful years. You made meaning to my life. You can never be replaced.

Top 10 Beautiful Happy Sad Songs

It's Monday and some of you may have the weekend blues. But if you do, at least try to sound happy about it until you really do feel happy! There's scientific evidence about how even pretending to smile causes happy feelings.

Below are my top 10 happy sad songs whose lyrics may quite reflect how you feel on a Monday. You may feel upbeat but if you carefully read between the lines, the topics are quite sad ranging from a broken heart, despondency, apathy and loneliness. Nonetheless, these songs are beautiful and full of imagery which makes some of them a bit poetic. Really lovely, you will love the tune of each one.

1) BE OKAY  (Ingrid Michaelson)

I just want to be okay, be okay, be okay
I just want to be okay today
I just want to be okay, be okay, be okay
I just want to be okay today

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today

[Chorus]
Open me up and you will see
I'm a gallery of broken hearts
I'm beyond repair, let me be
And give me back my broken parts

I just want to know today, know today, know today
I just want to know something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be okay

[Chorus]

Just give me back my pieces
Just give them back to me please
Just give me back my pieces
And let me hold my broken parts

I just want to be okay, be okay, be okay
I just want to be okay today
I just want to be okay, be okay, be okay
I just want to be okay today

I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today
I just want to feel something today
I just want to know today, know today, know today
Know that maybe I will be okay
Know that maybe I will be okay
Know that maybe I will be okay
Songwriters: INGRID MICHAELSON

2)  MAMA MIA (Abba)



I been cheated by you since you know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn?
I don't know how but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything 

[Chorus]
Mamma mia, here I go again
My my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My my, just how much I've missed you?

Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go 
I've been angry and sad about things that you do
I can't count all the times that I've told you "we're through"
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that strong
Just one look and I can hear a bell ring
One more look and I forget everything 

[Chorus]

Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
"Bye bye, leave me now or never"
Mamma mia, it's a game we play
"Bye bye" doesn't mean forever 

[Chorus]

Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My my, I could never let you go

3) BUILD ME UP BUTTERCUP (The Foundations)

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

"I'll be over at ten", you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then (bah-dah-dah)
I went to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know (bah-dah-dah)
Although you're untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so

(Hey, hey, hey!) Baby, baby, try to find
(Hey, hey, hey!) A little time and I'll make you mine
(Hey, hey, hey!) I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo

Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

I-I-I need you-oo-oo more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart

4) GET ME AWAY FROM HERE I'M DYING (Belle and Sebastian)
Ooh! Get me away from here I'm dying 
Play me a song to set me free 
Nobody writes them like they used to 
So it may as well be me 

Here on my own now after hours 
Here on my own now on a bus 
Think of it this way 
You could either be successful or be us 

With our winning smiles, and us 
With our catchy tunes and words 
Now we're photogenic 
You know, we don't stand a chance 

Oh, I'll settle down with some old story 
About a boy who's just like me 
Thought there was love in everything and everyone 
You're so naive! 

They always reach a sorry ending 
They always get it in the end 
Still it was worth it as 
I turned the pages solemnly, and then 

With a winning smile, the poor boy 
With naivety succeeds 
At the final moment, I cried 
I always cry at endings 
I always cry at endings 

Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all 
From where I'm sitting, rain 
Falling against the lonely tenement 
Has set my mind to wander 

Into the windows of my lovers 
They never know unless I write 
This is no declaration 
I just thought I'd let you know goodbye 

Said the hero in the story 
"It is mightier than swords 
I could kill you sure 
But I could only make you cry with these words" 
Cry with these words, cry with these words, cry with these words 

Oh get me away, I'm dying 
Get me away, I'm dying 
Get me away, I'm dying 
Get me away, I'm dying 
Oh I'm dying 
Oh I'm dying 
Oh I'm dying 

5) I'LL NEVER FALL IN LOVE AGAIN (Dionne Warwick)
What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

What do you get when you kiss a girl
You get enough germs to catch pneumonia
After you do, she'll never phone you
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Don't tell me what it's all about
'Cause I've been there and I'm glad I'm out
Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you give your heart
You get it all broken up and battered
That's what you get, a heart that's shattered
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

Out of those chains those chains that bind you
That is why I'm here to remind you

What do you get when you fall in love?
You only get lies and pain and sorrow
So for at least until tomorrow
I'll never fall in love again
I'll never fall in love again

I'll never fall in love again

6) YELLOW LEMON TREE (Dionne Warwick)
Fool's Garden - Lemon Tree 

I'm sitting here in the boring room 
It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon 
I'm wasting my time 
I got nothing to do 
I'm hanging around 
I'm waiting for you 
But nothing ever happens and I wonder 

I'm driving around in my car 
I'm driving too fast 
I'm driving too far 
I'd like to change my point of view 
I feel so lonely 
I'm waiting for you 
But nothing ever happens and I wonder 

I wonder how 
I wonder why 
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky 
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree 
I'm turning my head up and down 
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around 
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree 

Sing 
Da 
Da da da da di dat da 
Da da da dit da da 
Da di di di da 

I'm sitting here 
I miss the power 
I'd like to go out taking a shower 
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head 
I feel so tired 
Put myself into bed 
While nothing ever happens and I wonder 

Isolation is not good for me 
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon-tree 

I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy 
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy 
And everything will happen and you wonder 

I wonder how 
I wonder why 
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky 
And all that I can see is just another lemon-tree 
I'm turning my head up and down 
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around 
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon-tree 
And I wonder, wonder 

I wonder how 
I wonder why 
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky 
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see 
Is just a yellow lemon-tree

7) THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY (Katy Perry)

Summer after high school, when we first met
We make-out in your Mustang to Radiohead
And on my eighteenth birthday, we got matching tattoos

Used to steal your parents liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never planned that one day I'd be losing you

[Chorus]
In another life, I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away

I was June and you were my Johnny Cash
Never one without the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa

Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown, singing the blues
It's time to face the music, I'm no longer your muse

[Chorus]

The one, the one, the one
The one that got away

All this money can't buy me a time machine, no
Can't replace you with a million rings, no
I should'a told you what you meant to me, whoa
Cause now I pay the price

[Chorus]

The one (the one)
The one (the one)
The one (the one)

In another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away

8) SYMPATHIQUE (Pink Martini)

Ma chambre a la forme d'une cage
Le soleil passe son bras par la fenêtre
Les chasseurs à ma porte
Comme les p'tits soldats
Qui veulent me prendre

Je ne veux pas travailler
Je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier
Et puis je fume

Déjà j'ai connu le parfum de l'amour
Un million de roses n'embaumerait pas autant
Maintenant une seule fleur dans mes entourages 
Me rend malade

Je ne veux pas travailler
Je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier
Et puis je fume

Je ne suis pas fière de ça
Vie qui veut me tuer
C'est magnifique être sympathique
Mais je ne le connais jamais

Je ne veux pas travailler
Non
Je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier
Et puis je fume

Je ne suis pas fière de ça
Vie qui veut me tuer
C'est magnifique être sympathique
Mais je ne le connais jamais

Je ne veux pas travailler
Non
Je ne veux pas déjeuner
Je veux seulement l'oublier
Et puis je fume

9) IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY (Jimmy Soul)
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman you wife.
So for my personal point of view
Get another girl to marry you.
Prrretty woman with the pretty face
Tracks attention in every place
When she walks she makes the men all moon
Pretty soon
Pretty soon you're alone.
If you want to be happy . . .
Course a big fat woman keeps you warm at home
Lots of meat shaking on the bone.
When she throws the big leg on you
AII night long makes a dream come true.
If you want to be happy . . .
Reggae italian . . . big piano solo . . . not bad he . . .
Next time try two fingers . . . accordion quick . . .
Ah
That's my kind of music . . . clap the hands . . . it's alright . . .
Ok . . . clap the hands everybody . . . little bit of italian applause . . .
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Don't make a fancy woman your wife
If you want to be happy . . .
Course a fancy woman got a fancy taste -
She spends all the day fixing up her face.
Why she got to use so much of powder and paste
When she kisses you it's a funny taste.
If you want to be happy . . .
If you want to be happy . . .
If you want to be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife.
So for Giuseppe's personal point of view
Get another girl to marry you.
10) TIRE SWING (Kimya Dawson)
I took the Polaroid down in my room
I'm pretty sure you have a new girlfriend
It's not as if I don't like you
It just makes me sad whenever I see it

'Cause I like to be gone most of the time
And you like to be home most of the time
If I stay in one place I lose my mind
I'm a pretty impossible lady to be with

Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended

I had a dream that I had to drive to Madison
To deliver a painting for some silly reason
I took a wrong turn and ended up in Michigan
A pallbearer aboard took me to the giant tire swing

Gave me a push and he started singing
I sang along while I was swinging
The sound of our voices made us forget everything
That had ever hurt our feelings

Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended

Now I'm home for less than twenty four hours
That's hardly time to take a shower
Hug my family and take your picture off the wall
Check my email, write a song and make a few phone calls

Before it's time to leave again
I got one hand on the steering wheel, one waving out the window
If I'm a spinster for the rest of my life
My arms will keep me warm on cold and lonely nights

Joey never met a bike that he didn't wanna ride
And I never met a Toby that I didn't like
Scotty liked all of the books that I recommended
Even if he didn't, I wouldn't be offended
