RookRocks Yeah, thanks to the OFWs. But hey, we should feel sorry for them too. They are the one who made the peso that way, but they are also the main victims. You suddenly can't decide if the hero is the one who saves or the one who needs saving. Not until the...

Nichiren Shoshu believers in the Philippines!

iceblade007 @iceblade007 (232) • Philippines 19 Dec 07

Currently, there are about 800 believers here including me. I can say the number is really small, but i think faith is not based on number or how many believe on a particular religion, it is the qualities in life, the attitude we...

RookRocks What made you join this religion? There must be something that it offers that you deemed lacking in other religions. Can you provide us a link of a good source of information about it?

RookRocks Why ask foreigners when you know that their perception of the country will be vague if not ill-informed? You already said that the Philippines is getting worst, and that perception alone can lead to very biased answers. It's better to ask the people who live...

Snow in the Philippines

putotot @putotot (79) • Philippines 15 Dec 07

Many of us Filipinos have wished that it would be cooler here in the Philippines. Even today, in the coldest season of the year, it is still noticeably hot. Although it gets cooler in the evening, most of the day the air is warm...

RookRocks Snow would be nice. Pleasing to the eyes, cool to the touch. But parroting the ones above, it really isn't practical. And as you know, Filipinos prioritize practicality than aesthetics and comfort. Further than the human factor, we should also see what it...

RookRocks 5 years or so ago, she ranked among my most favorite singers. Her "Complicated" and "Happy Ending" still are among my favorites. But lately I've lost her. Maybe because I was exposed to so many genres and singers lately. She's good, and the lyrics of her song...

My Take on Labor Unions

ParaTed2k @ParaTed2k (22940) • Sheboygan, Wisconsin 25 Nov 07

To me, Labor Unions aren't much different than Big Business. I mean, I see how the union leaders live, and it doesn't seem any different than how corporate executives live. Both have salesmen who go out and use whatever means...

RookRocks This is very american in ideology. Putting everything down to the individual, centering the responsibilities of progress on the worker. And this is a very narrow take on the aspect of individual development. For one thing, it neglects the fact that not...

RookRocks First of all, I don't think anyone should laugh at you just because you read romance. I know the attitude of some people on it, but reading romance has its positive side too. And the negative accusations are often baseless and were just born out of...

Which Do You Prefer? Old or Young Professor?

svelte @svelte (132) • Philippines 19 Oct 07

RookRocks True, just so true. Shameless indeed! Sad too! But I disagree with you on one point, I hope she went to the same process as Erap. That's just fair. That's justice. She should go through the trials, and then there we would judge her case. She's not guilty...

Why is there no Filipino in hospital series?

Aoi Hana @swirlz (3136) • Philippines 7 Oct 07

RookRocks The first thing to do is to call up the police. You'll never know if other people had acted. There is a phenomenon in social psychology called the bystander effect. That is, no one will act to help someone in time of emergency, particularly when there is a...
