Some Spanish Useful Phrases

I always like picking up useful idioms or descriptive phrases that aren't usually included in most formal curriculum or textbooks. Here are few that I'm trying to incorporate in my everyday use (or at least if I'm afforded the opportunity).
- Asi es - the way it is. Asi es la vida.
- Está bien - Literally "it is good" but it's also a better way to say "okay" as some English uses of okay can't be Spanglished with okay. Also good for meaning all right. So when I say to I'll call you later, you can say Está bien or even slangier you can say 'tá bien.
- Claro - generally defined as meaning "of course", another more casual way is to regard it is as meaning "sure"
- Para nada - no way. Your reply when I ask you if you want hear me sing.
- Ya basta - enough already, or "cut it out" if I ask again.
- En este momento - at this moment...and it's companion, en ese momento - at that moment.
