sudden interview

butterflytears @butterflytears (77) • United States 9 Nov 09

Why is it that Rihanna is suddenly able to speak about her ordeal with Chris Brown? I think it's a horrible thing that happened to her, but I find it a little coincidental that she is releasing a CD and is suddenly able to share...

Learning new languages

troublesome @troublesome (324) • United States 5 Oct 09

What are some methods you use to get a better understanding of a new language you're learning? Also, how do you choose the languages you want to learn out of all the other choices out there?

languages

Shebang It's difficult to learn the language on your own, theoretcially. You should have a study partner. It's no use when you only have your learning on your mind and you're not using it. My friend and I are learning japanese and I think it's the most difficult...

Shebang I was spending most of my time in mysoju.com. I became addicted with japanese drama. And I thought, why not make it serious. I mean, to learn nihonggo. So I bought a self-study book. While using the book, I make sure that I watch jdrama everyday. It's good...

no boyfriend/girlfriend since birth!?

oda_crem @oda_crem (25) • Philippines 6 Oct 09

Sometimes I am thinking what is the feeling of the people who din't have any intimate relationship this birth. I am not degrading those people but i think their life is not that complete because they don't know what is the feeling...

Shebang I beg to disagree. hahaha (^_^) Being single, since birth at that, does not make someone incomplete. I am 26 and did not have any sort of romantic relationship since birth but I feel so complete and loved. Besides, it's a matter of choice. To be in a...

Any ideas on how to get my son organized?

jacobsguardian @jacobsguardian (108) • United States 7 Oct 09

I'm having problems with my oldest son. I've gotten a couple of letters home from his teacher already, and there's only been 6 weeks of school. She says he's gifted, but he isn't turning his homework in even though he does it....

8 responses

Shebang Base on your story, I think you're son is not just being disorganized. I think there is just something wrong with him. He does his homework right, but he's not just turning it in. He tells his teacher that he did not do his homework, but actually he does...

Shebang Of course. Unhealthy foods are most often the "delicious" foods. You will not feel it now, yet, later on the effects on your health can become unbearable. Now what you should do? Think of the future. Would you want to be a burden on your family, who will have...

How does music make you feel?

kerryns @kerryns (55) • Australia 9 Oct 09

This might sound really strange, but I've found that lately when I am feeling stressed, anxious, a bit depressed, sick, or have felt a headache coming on, I have pumped up my music and it's like a magic little pill...I feel...

Shebang When my mind is so preoccupied and I want to just think of nothing, I listen to music so that it blocks any thoughts that come into my mind. That's how music works on me.

IS there someone to blame With calamities in our country?

Shebang I think blaming should be the last thing to be done in situations like these. To blame is irresponsible and self-centered. Hence, let's move forward. And right, if its inevitable to blame, the blame should be on us.

Shebang Why? What are the "efforts" you have been doing that made you say "it's not working out"? We have the tendency to think that we did our best, but in reality we did not. Besides, learning a language is not as easy as ABC. I think you should focus with one...

Shebang Of course not. It isn't painful. It is not surgical. The procedure is under 10-15 minutes. I haven't seen the tool but it feels like a brush. So it's just like brushing your face. It's really good for the skin. You should try it.

Shebang I do. I can't deny that somehow a part of me is afraid of not having my my own family. But then I always believe that who I am now, where I am now is part of God's plan for me. If it is His will for me to be alone then God's will be done. :)

Shebang Your friend was afraid of being alone because she was "co-dependent" towards her husband. That means she developed excessive emotional or psychological reliance on her husband. Naturally, because she is married and that is her husband. You've shared many...

How can I be a good writer?

CrimsonRain @CrimsonRain (336) • United States 3 Oct 09

I have always wanted to become a good writer. I read a lot of novels, I keep a journal, I join discussion boards, I write on our school paper, etc. but still I don't think I'm already a good writer. :-(

6 responses

Shebang It's good to set high expectations on oneself but to be perfectionist is a different story. If you want to know if you are a good writer, you can ask someone from the faculty in your school to read your articles and ask their opinion. If not maybe you can ask...
