$$$

after we were informed that we wont be getting our salary on the 15th for some stupid reason, i have devised the following to make sure i'll get by. what's infuriating is that we have the money--and in dollars,too--so we aren't supposed to be penniless every payday; but since financial fuck-ups happen, it's time for my Chinese merchant lineage to surface.

1) i will join AXN's Fear Factor and win $50,000. ah, for the love of money.

2) i will rent a coffin and pretend to be dead so i'll get abuloy from people. of course im gonna need an assistant for this one. anyone?

3) i will offer massage services in the neighborhood.

4) i will rent a Videoke machine and rent it out to my neighbors and relatives. for a 3k capital, i'll get double in ROI. in 5peso coins, that is.

5) i will play billiards, bet and win--tooth and nail.

6) i will hold a garage sale. now this is more realistic and better for decluttering and feng shui stuff,too. but i want to be grand and dramatic so i wouldnt opt for this one.

7) i will write a schmaltzy Tagalog Romance Novel and my protagonists will be called Segofredo,Edwin and Lucy. Lucy will be a brilliant and conservative nympho.

8) i will sell my paintings.

9) #8 is unthinkable for now.

10) i will apply as Galema the lady with snakes on her head at the Paskong Pasiklab carnival in QC.


hmmm.money.
