Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young

Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young
by Fire Inc.

I've got a dream 'bout an angel on the beach
and the perfect waves are starting to curl
his hair is flying out in ribbons of gold
and his touch has got the power to stun

I've got a dream 'bout an angel in the forest
enchanted by the edge of a lake
his body's flowing in the jewels alive
and the earth below is starting to shake

but I don't see any angels in this city
I don't hear any holy choirs sing
and if I can't get an angel
I can still get a boy
and a boy'd be the next best thing
the next best thing to an angel
a boy'd be the next best thing

I've got a dream 'bout a boy in a castle
and he's dancing like a cat on the stairs
he's got the fire of a prince in his eyes
and the thunder of a drum in his ears

I've got a dream 'bout a boy on a star
lookin' down upon the rim of the world
he's there all alone and dreamin' of someone like me
I'm not an angel but at least I'm a girl

I've got a dream when the darkness is over
we'll be lyin' in the rays of the sun
but it's only a dream and tonight is for real
you'll never know what it means
but you'll know how it feels
it's gonna be over (over)
before you know it's begun
(before you know it's begun)
it's all we really got tonight
stop your cryin' hold on (tonight)
before you know it it's gone (tonight)
tonight is what it means to be young
tonight is what it means to be young

let the revels begin
let the fire be started
we're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted
let the revels begin
let the fire be started
we're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted

let the revels begin
let the fire be started ...(tonight is what it means to be young...)
we're dancing for the restless and the broken-hearted...(before you know it it's gone...)
let the revels begin
let the fire be started...(tonight is what it means to be young...)
we're dancing for the desperate and the broken-hearted...(before you know it it's gone...)

say a prayer in the darkness for the magic to come
no matter what it seams
tonight is what it means to be young
before you know it it's gone ...(tonight is what it means to be young...)
tonight is what it means to be young...(before you know it it's gone...)
before you know it it's gone

PayPal Can Now Be Withdrawn thru Local Banks

PinoyMoneytalk wrote a very interesting news to all Filipino Paypal users. Now you may withdraw your Paypal funds into your Philippine local bank accounts. If you are withdrawing Paypal funds that is more than P7,000 there is no transaction fee. If less than P7,000, there will be a fee of P50.00. which is not bad compare to the $5 charge when withdrawing thru Unionbank EON Cyber Account Card.

But you STILL need to add a credit card or debit card to lift the $500 limit (meaning you still need Unionbank EON).

For a details about this news you can check out PinoyMoneyTalk.com.

Today I was able to fully verify my Paypal Account. I enrolled this last week and today I requested for the expanded number code through Eon cyberaccount email. I was glad that the EONservice was able to respond quickly with the expanded number and now my Paypal Account is not verified.

Invest, Save, Spend ... Who Knows?

We get income and it seems to go to someone really fast. Do we have savings or investment goals, like paying to send a child to school, buying a house, a car, an iPhone, a new wardrobe, funding a wedding, a vacation, etc.? Do the goals keep us on track or are they just like well intentioned New Year resolutions?

My Tips and insights on blogging ,web researching and social networking

As of late I've been so active in blogging (maintaining over 10 blogs (8 here in blogger.com, 3 in wordpress.com and a self hosted tech blog) that I would like to share some tips on blogging, web researching and social networking.

Here are the tools I can recommend:

Firefox add ons:

Scribefire

a blog editor directly from your Firefox browser. No need to log in to each blogs just to posts.

del.icio.us and Stumble upon
Its better to bookmark all the sites you like using these tools for easy retrival. StumbleUpon is also a social network site, so you could meet some new friends while "stumbling" on new sites.

Squidoo toolbar
here's an add-on for those having a Squidoo lens account.

TwitterFox
a third party - Firefox addon that you can use to post your twits for Twitter. You can also see your friends' latest using its pop-up alert.

To increase your traffic and some SEO tips

Express Submit your Blog
Submitting your blog to all search engines and directory is a very tedious task. To lessen the load, you can submit your site using Express Submit . They have a free service that would submit your site to over 40 search engine site in just one submission.

Blog Hopping
Blog hopping is method on which you jump from one blog to another using the blog site's link list or blog rolls. If the blog site has has a shout box installed leave a message requesting for exchanging of links.

that's it for now, more tips on later posts...

The Christmas Holiday last month was unlike any other Christmas and New Year that I experience because unlike the previous Holiday season, I am only spending it with my immediate family (My Mom and Dad, My brother and Sister-in-Law. In 2007, I spent Christmas not only with my immediate family but also with my wife and my baby daughter.

How time flies so fast. I would hope year 2008 would bring us more blessings.
