“Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.”
To the utter dismay of my husband, words never failed me, but numbers always did, which allows my husband to get back at me for not failing at words by relying on my inability to compute his exact monetary worth. I wish I could use words to earn tons of cash but in the Philippines, the kind of words I excel in can only earn either impoverished fame or the ire of the politicians with the big guns.
According to CNNMoney.com, the highest paying jobs all have something to do with math skills. I hope my daughter takes after her father and finishes a course that can actually pay the monthly bills. They say money isn’t the answer to everything but it sure helps to have some.

grace says

Webster Twelb says
Ahahahahaha, I'm terrible with numbers too.
Not sure if you know that I took up education and my major is history..unfortunately no one is looking for a history teacher…they are mostly looking for math and science teacher…hmnp, too bad..
Oh but well I'm a CCA so in a way I'm still able to pay the bills and have fun ^_^.
grace says
ay webie education ka pala? at history pa! wala akong degree sa history pero talaga namang adik ako dyan kaya yung isa kong blog puro about history. kawawa tayong mga poor in numbers 🙂

sandybeaple says
ma'am grace,
remember our theory that engineers' daughters suck at math – you, moi, jee ann being perfect examples?
anyway. i'm taking econ.
tons of money involved.
but i've never heard of an economist who was 'rich'.
living comfortably maybe, but rich?
grace says
waaaa. sandy noooooo. huhuhu. i pity my little kid. or maybe i can just push my husband to work like a mule so we can leave her an inheritance instead. hehe
hey you aren't that bad in math sandy. you did survive KHS and you did graduate with honors. i didn't even get a merit award in high school because of math and physics and we didn't even have calculus then
i think winnie monsod has lots of cash. isn't she the mistress of Philippine economics? i have no doubt sandy that you'll make it big
Webster Twelb says
wah…buti ko p magaling sa pagtulog…ako hindi! (totoo ito kapatid!)…
magaling ako sa pagtunganga! wahahahahahaha!
grace says

Pinoy Wit says
