Black Friday

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 31 Oct 10

Portia08 I've read in an article, I think in Yahoo Shine, that Black Friday's are a scam to get people pressured to shop thinking that they're getting a good deal. You should drop by the store about a week prior to the big sale and check out their normal prices to...

How can you get the money you lend from a friend who is a bad creditor?

melcaden0916 @melcaden0916 (221) • Philippines 31 Oct 10

Now, this maybe serious or non-serious. I have a friend who borrowed money from me and the payment is overdue already. I gave already so much extension that the guy would be able to pay. But sad to say, as if I am just talking to...

Portia08 It sounds like he really doesn't intend to repay you.. but you could try to be assertive and tell him that you need your money back since you'd be needing it for a very important thing.. Tell him that you have helped him when he was having problems with money...

Never to old to trick or treat!!!

ANIME123 @ANIME123 (2466) • United States 31 Oct 10

Yeah well I think that nobody is ever to old to trick or treat because it is just so much fun to dress up and get candy. I am going to go trick or treating and I am already 18, but yeah I think that anybody should be able to go...

Portia08 If there was trick or treat here in the Philippines I would definitely make an effort to dress up (though I'm 25 haha) It's so much fun to go around for free chocolates and candies! I wonder what I'd be if there was something like that here. Maybe someday I'll...

yellowhipon @yellowhipon (793) • Philippines 31 Oct 10

I read the news on msnbc about a mother who shook her son so hard that he hit his head on the computer and died. She got frustrated because her son wouldn't stop crying while she was playing Farmville on...

Portia08 No one's too certain what really happened there.. either she's so into playing Farmville or she's having any type of depression or something. Still, that is not a reason to harm your child.. but I'm sure she feels very, very sorry over what happened.. What...

Portia08 Yeah, I totally agree.. someone has to take a look at how human resource gets employees.. Why put an age limit to job qualifications? Isn't that discriminatory? I think those over 25 have for more experience than newly graduates and can therefore contribute...

Portia08 I like the idea that young adults, a year after college should move out of the home to learn to be independent, budgeting etc. What happens to Filipino homes is that the children stay for as long as they can so they won't have to pay for house rent, bills,...
