:11:01
She watches movies till late.
:11:03
A brush with a wooden handle.
:11:06
A teddy bear.
A red ladybird.
:11:09
There is a lamp by the bed.
:11:11
A small table, a white vase.
:11:16
That's it. That's all.
:11:20
I earn two minimum wages,
$ 302 a month.
:11:24
After the discounts, 290.
The price of tennis shoes.
:11:27
I don't spend on transport,
I walk to work, I never go out.
:11:31
My mom buys the food,
I pay half the rent.
:11:34
2 bedrooms and a maid's room,
if we had a maid, a very small one.
:11:39
Living room, bathroom, kitchen,
for only $380, including fees.
:11:45
That leaves me $ 100.
:11:47
I pay half of the TVinstallments,
a 14", remote control.
:11:50
$ 64, I pay $ 32.
:11:54
I get left with $ 68.
:11:56
I spend on silly things:
Amagazine, a beer, a pen, clothes.
:12:01
To buy my binoculars
I had to save for one year.
:12:06
You see the bridge from here.
:12:08
Every day it lifts
to let a ship go through.
:12:13
It's really fun to be far away
and see someone from up close.
:12:18
Sometimes I read magazines
at work.
:12:20
But mostly I read stuff
that photocopy.
:12:25
I can only read a few lines
from each sheet.
:12:29
Better than nothing.
:12:31
Shakespeare and Cervantes died
on the same day: 23rd of April 1616.
:12:36
They never even met.
:12:38
Cervantes was buried
in a common grave.
:12:41
I don't know
what common grave means.
:12:44
What difference does it make?
:12:46
One of these days
there was a Shakespeare poem.
:12:50
"When I do count the clock
that tells the time.
:12:53
And see the brave day sunk
in hideous night."
:12:55
When I behold the violet
past prime.
:12:58
And sable curls,
all silver'd o'er with white.
