Magazines?

There used to be a time when I spent my monthly allowance on magazines. They're my guilty pleasure. Of course Internet was not readily available then. Now with a "smart phone" (genius phone for deleting my contacts twice) it's easier and more readily available that Internet is. I find that I spent my time online more often. 

In more recent years, I used to subscribed to Cosmopolitan. Well for two years actually. Like the past two years, when the magazine is finally in Singapore. As in their own version of it. I was excited cause a girl of 20s, you kind of need to learn to be a woman you know. It's an open topic and it's a modern world now, women can't lose out. Lose out to who? To ignorant! 

We need to learn. About skills and positions and health and pleasure. For them and the man. Even if you're single there's no harm in learning. Heck I want to be good at it. 

Anyway, I soon realize the magazine is wonderful. They have awesome tips. Especially if you own your own house. Preferable with a two story house. Great if you have money too cause the restaurants are in the $30 and above prices. Looks good, but hope you have the cash to eat there. Like $30 is not much, but for a salad that's something. I will be able to afford that one day when I'm working. Spa treatments I want that. I really don't think Cosmopolitan Singapore is targeted at girls who live in HDB houses with their parents and siblings. As a Singapore women magazine, I really hope they target these women. Like focus on the culture of BTOing and ROM first before moving into your new HDB flat. Sure you can always rent out a place. But seriously, financially smart, the money use for rental is better being use for paying your mortgage. That's the smart way to handle cash. Rental will cost you $2k? That can be use as monthly BTO house payment wouldn't that be more feasible? Unless you are super rich, or can't live in your childhood home anymore. 

My favorite feature in Cosmopolitan Was the buy now, buy later and buy in future or something like that. Basically they show 3 kinds of something e.g. shoes, and for one design they show us 3 options. The least expensive you can buy now cause you probably can afford it if you're an average girl in Singapore. Then the middle pricing where you can buy if you have extra cash. Lastly the expensive probably branded ones where you can hope your friends and family pitch in together to get for you. Or wait for that bonus to get it. That feature is gone. 

Now and again I picked up Cleo. I always forgot how much advertisement are there. And it's pretty much the same in every magazine or Singapore's "billboard" aka bus stop ads. So it's boring. And the articles just doesn't interest me. Sure there's some that catches my eyes but nothing that says omg I love this mag. Is not that the writers are bad but I don't see anything applicable to me. 

At least Teens and Teenage have dear aunt column where it can be helpful and applicable and the target audience is pretty much on par. 

Why can't the women magazines differentiate themselves?

Recently I picked up Herworld. I finally knew its for 30-40s age group. Maybe even 50s. So it wasn't for me. But seriously when they ask some guys the street some question, those guys are way off. The guys are pretty much younger. You're asking a 20 something years old guy if he will ask a girl out again if she had rejected him once. As a 40 years old woman I will hope guys in their 30-50s have the same mindset as these young adults. Ya I sure hope. 

Again it's the target group. Unless you feature hot guys who are into cougars I think you should bring out guys in the same age group. The point of view really varies with different age. So target wisely. 

Really feel so blah after reading magazines. I don't think I'll be buying anymore Singapore magazines unless they have a really good freebies. Or if I heard that the magazine cater to me life or needs or even wants. Not dishing the people who work at magazines. I mean they work hard and I know that. But they really need to learn to closer to home. 

Like who need sweaters and coats when you are living in Singapore. But you can always do a spread for traveling to cold places. I don't mind seeing the sweaters and coats and boots then. 

And like my sis now only buy magazines cause she want the poster of some Kpop. 

Is it just me or do people feel the same way about magazines nowadays?

Boys like girls - Thunder

Today is a winding road

That's taking me to places that I didn't want to go

Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Today in the blink of an eye

I'm holding on to something and I do not know why

I tried

I tried to read between the lines

I tried to look in your eyes

I want a simple explanation

For what I'm feeling inside

I gotta find a way out

Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

And bring on the thunder

Today is a winding road

Tell me where to start and tell me something I don't know

Whoa (whoa, whoa, whoa)

Today I'm on my own

I can't move a muscle and I can't pick up the phone

I don't know (I don't know, I don't know, I don't know)

And now I'm itching for the tall grass

And longing for the breeze

I need to step outside

Just to see if I can breathe

I gotta find a way out

Maybe there's a way out

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

Yeah I'm walking on a tightrope

I'm wrapped up in vines

I think we'll make it out

But you just gotta give me time

Strike me down with lightning

Let me feel you in my veins

I wanna let you know how much I feel your pain

Today is a winding road

that's taking me to places that I didn't want to go

Whoa

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your eyes are the brightest of all the colors

I don't wanna ever love another

You'll always be my thunder, and I said

Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer

Do you know you're unlike any other

You'll always be my thunder

So bring on the rain

Oh baby bring on the pain

And listen to the thunder

Drake - Take care

[Rihanna]

I know you've been hurt by someone else

I can tell by the way you carry yourself.

If you let me, here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take, I'll take)

I've loved and I've lost.

[Drake: verse 1]

I've asked about you and they've told me things

but my mind didn't change it

I still feel the same

what's a life with no fun, please don't be so ashamed

I've had mine, you've had yours we both know, we know.

They don't get you like I will

my only wish is I die real

cause that truth hurts, and those lies heal

and you can't sleep thinking that he lies still

so you cry still, tears all in the pillow case,

big girls all get a little taste

pushing me away so I give her space

dealing with a heart that I didn't break.

I'll be there for you, I will care for you

I keep thinking you, just don't know

try to run from that, say you're done with that

on your face girl, it just don't show.

When you're ready, just say you're ready

when all the baggage just ain't as heavy

and the parties over, just don't forget me

we'll change the pace and we'll just go slow.

You won't ever have to worry,

you won't ever have to hide,

you've seen all my mistakes,

so look me in my eyes.

[Rihanna]

'Cause if you let me, here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take, I'll take)

I've loved and i've lost.

[Drake: verse 2]

It's my birthday, I'll get high if I want to

can't deny that I want you, but I'll lie if have to

cause you don't say you love me

to your friends when they ask you

even though we both know that you do (you do).

One time, been in love one time

you and all your girls in the club one time

all so convinced that you're following your heart

cause your mind don't control what it does sometimes.

We all have our nights though, don't be so ashamed

I've had mine, you've had yours, we both know, we know.

You hate being alone

you ain't the only one

you hate the fact that you bought the dream

and they sold you one

you love your friends but somebody shoulda told you somin',

to save you, instead he said;

don't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

tell me a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

I don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

If you're hurt a-ha-ha-ha-ha.

I won't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

tell you a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

you don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

if you're true a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

don't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

tell me a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

I don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

If you're hurt a-ha-ha-ha-ha.

I won't a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

tell you a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

you don't care a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

if you're true a-ha-ha-ha-ha,

[Rihanna]

I know you've been hurt by someone else

I can tell by the way you carry yourself

if you let me, here's what I'll do

I'll take care of you (I'll take, I'll take, I'll take)

I've loved and I've lost

Howie Day - Collide

The dawn is breaking

A light shining through

You're barely waking

And I'm tangled up in you

Yeah

I'm open, you're closed

Where I follow, you'll go

I worry I won't see your face

Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find

You and I collide

I'm quiet you know

You make a first impression

I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the stars refuse to shine

Out of the back you fall in time

I somehow find

You and I collide

Don't stop here

I've lost my place

I'm close behind

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills your mind

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

You finally find

You and I collide

Paramore - The only exception

When I was younger, I saw my daddy cry

And curse at the wind

He broke his own heart and I watched

As he tried to reassemble it

And my momma swore that

She would never let herself forget

And that was the day that I promised

I'd never sing of love if it does not exist

But darling, you are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

You are the only exception

Maybe I know, somewhere deep in my soul

That love never lasts

And we've got to find other ways to make it alone

Or keep a straight face

And I've always lived like this

Keeping a comfortable distance

And up until now I had sworn to my self that I'm content with loneliness

Because none of it was ever worth the risk

But you are the only exception

You are the only exception x3

I've got a tight grip on reality

But I can't let go of what's in front of me here

I know you're leaving in the morning when you wake up

Leave me with some kind of proof, it's not a dream, oh

You are the only exception x8

And I'm on my way to believing

Oh, and I'm on my way to believing

Lifehouse - you and me

What day is it? And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

I can't keep up and I can't back down

I've been losing so much time

Cause it's you and me and all of the people

With nothing to do, nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

All of the things that I want to say

Just aren't coming out right

I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning

I don't know where to go from here

Cause it's you and me and all of the people

With nothing to do, nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

Something about you now

I can't quite figure out

Everything she does is beautiful

Everything she does is right

Cause it's you and me and all of the people

With nothing to do, nothing to lose

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of

You and me and all of the people

With nothing to do and nothing to prove

And it's you and me and all of the people

And I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you

What day is it? And in what month?

This clock never seemed so alive

Sum 41 - With me

I don't want this moment to ever end

Where everything's nothing without you

I wait here forever just to, to see you smile

'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you

Through it all I've made my mistakes

I stumble and fall but I mean these words

I want you to know with everything I won't let this go

These words are my heart and soul

I'll hold on to this moment you know

'Cause I'd bleed my heart out to show that I won't let go

Thoughts read unspoken forever and now

The pieces of memories fall to the ground

I know what I did and how so, I won't let this go

'Cause it's true, I am nothing without you

All the streets where I walked alone

With nowhere to go have come to an end

I want you to know with everything I won't let this go

These words are my heart and soul

I'll hold on to this moment you know

As I bleed my heart out to show and I won't let go

In front of your eyes it falls from the skies

When you don't know what you're looking to find

In front of your eyes it falls from the skies

When you just never know what you will find

What you will find, what you will find

What you will find, what you will find

I don't want this moment to ever end

Where every thing's nothing without you

I want you to know with everything I won't let this go

These words are my heart and soul

I'll hold on to this moment you know

As I bleed my heart out to show and I won't let go

I want you to know with everything I won't let this go

These words are my heart and soul

I'll hold on to this moment you know

As I bleed my heart out to show and I won't let go

Jason Mraz - I wont give up

When I look into your eyes

It's like watching the night sky

Or a beautiful sunrise

Well there's so much they hold

And just like them old stars

I see that you've come so far

To be right where you are

How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space

To do some navigating

I'll be here patiently waiting

To see what you find

'Cause even the stars they burn

Some even fall to the earth

We've got a lot to learn

God knows we're worth it

No, i won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily

I'm here to stay and make the difference that i can make

Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use the tools and gifts

We got yeah we got a lot at stake

And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend

For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn

We had to learn, how to bend without the world caving in

I had to learn what i got, and what I'm not

And who i am

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

I'm still looking up

I won't give up (No I'm not) on us (Giving up)

God knows I'm tough (I am tough), he knows (I am loved)

We got a lot (We're alive) to learn (We are loved)

God knows we're worth it (And we're worth it)

I won't give up on us

Even if the skies get rough

I'm giving you all my love

I'm still looking up

Hunter Hayes - Wanted

You know I'd fall apart without you

I don't know how you do what you do

'Cause everything that don't make sense about me

Makes sense when I'm with you

Like everything that's green, girl boy, I need you

But it's more than one and one makes two

Put aside the math and the logic of it

You gotta know you want it too

'Cause I wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold you hand forever

Never let you forget it

Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted

Anyone can tell you you're pretty

(Yeah)

You get that all the time, I know you do

But your beauty's deeper than the makeup

And I wanna show you what I see tonight

When I wrap you up

When I kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold you hand forever

Never let you forget it

'Cause baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

As good as you make me feel

I wanna make you feel better

Better than your fairy tales

Better than your best dreams

You're more than everything I need

You're all I ever wanted

All I ever wanted

And I just wanna wrap you up

Wanna kiss your lips

I wanna make you feel wanted

And I wanna call you mine

Wanna hold you hand forever

Never let you forget it

Yeah, I wanna make you feel wanted

Yeah baby, I wanna make you feel wanted

'Cause you'll always be wanted

Secondhand Serenade - Your Call

Waiting for your call, I'm sick, cause I'm angry

Cause I'm desperate for your voice

listening to the song we used to sing

In the car, do you remember,butterfly, early summer?

Its playing on repeat, just like when we would meet

Like when we would meet

I was born to tell you I love you

And I am torn to do what I have to

To make you mine, stay with me tonight

Stripped and polished, I am new, I am fresh

I am feeling so ambitious

You and me, flesh to flesh

'Cause every breath that you will take

When you are sitting next to me

Will bring life into my deepest hopes, whats your fantasy?

Whats your, whats your

I was born to tell you I love you

And I am torn to do what I have to

To make you mine, stay with me tonight

And I'm tired of being all alone

And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home

And I'm tired of you

And this horrible moment makes me want to come back home

And I'm tired of being all alone

And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home

And I'm tired of being all alone

And this solitary moment makes me want to come back home

I was born to tell you I love you

And I am torn to do what I have to

I was born to tell you I love you

And I am torn to do what I have to, to make you mine

Stay with me tonight

He is we - I Wouldn't Mind

Merrily we fall

Out of line, out of line

I'd fall anywhere with you

I'm by your side

Swinging in the rain, humming melodies

We're not going anywhere until we freeze

I'm not afraid, anymore

I'm not afraid

Forever is a long time

But I wouldn't mind spending it

By your side

Carefully we'll place for our destiny

You came and you took this heart, and set it free

Every word you write or sing is so warm to me, so warm to me

I'm torn, I'm torn to be right where you are

I'm not afraid, anymore

I'm not afraid

Forever is a long time

But I wouldn't mind spending it

By your side

Tell me everyday I get to wake up to that smile

I wouldn't mind it at all

I wouldn't mind it at all

You so know me

Pinch me gently

I can hardly breathe

Forever is a long, long time

But I wouldn't mind spending it

By your side

Tell me everyday I get to wake up to that smile

I wouldn't mind it at all

I wouldn't mind it at all
