One song, many problems, no money
Until now, I still have money problems. Life is indeed all about the money. For some people, no money, no life. No money, no love, no respect. What a life!
I believe all of us did go through some money problems in life. We had seen our parents fight over money. We broke up with relatives and friends over money. We failed to take our exams because we didn't pay our school fees. We skipped meals. We were overdue on our rent. We cried.
Worse, we had to resort to crime to make ends meets. We stole from people, including our loved ones. We robbed students, old people, and even children. We even had to steal from the treasury. We renegaded on our promises of payments to people whom we owe money. We put on a thick face every time we had to face them. If we're lucky, they'd forget to collect and we'd forget to pay. We even hide from our creditors. We lied.
Some others committed suicide. This is life.
Life is all about the money. What a life!

Memories of 2003 high school prom
First heard Meja way back in 2003. I borrowed a MTV Fantastic Females 1999 CD from a cousin twice removed, played it that night, and I was blown right away with the song from Meja. Simple lyrics and edgy tune. It was my last song syndrome of February 2003.
Okay, that was days before I heard Evanescence and t.A.T.u. That time, we high school junior and seniors were busy preparing for the prom. Though I had a choice not to attend, I'd still end up paying for the affair, because no prom payment, no clearance. It was not fair. Too bad I can't do nothing that time.

Fuck we had to dance to the tune of "All The Love In The World" by The Corrs. I love The Corrs, but I hate proms. I hate paying for that event. The money would be better used for music magazines and cassette tapes. But I forgot I had no money. I had to ask prom payment from my father and cassette tapes from my mother.
Too bad I have to live in a society where people look up to people based on material and financial wealth, not principles and ideologies. Money, not ideas, rule my society.
Life is all about the money. We do crazy thing for it. What a life!
