TheAdvocate It's nothing new, people are always bragging about what they have and what they've done. Facebook just gave them a new medium. My cousin always says it's because we are ID, and therefore we want to acquire and show the world that we are moving up. It's primal...

Despite his selective mutism, will Rajesh ever find his soul mate?

Otanetix @Otanetix (508) • United States 27 Aug 12

Among all the characters of The Big Bang Theory, I think Rajesh has the toughest obstacle for finding his special someone. When I started watching the sitcom, I never imagined someone like Sheldon finding his soul mate. Before Amy...

TheAdvocate Big Bang is one of my favorite sitcoms although I started watching it late and had to watch reruns to get caught up. I think that each one of the four friends have a different issue that would make it hard for them to find their soul mate. Leonard had a...

TheAdvocate Hi, I was looking for a cupcake tower last Christmas for our holiday table. I only found one food vendor willing to lend us a cupcake tower if we buy at least P1500 worth of her cupcakes. You should consider selling them because cupcakes are all the rage these...

TheAdvocate Impeachment. More fun in the Philippines. I read that Clinton's impeachment trial lasted for only 17 days, and the prosecution was allowed to present all pieces of evidence they wanted without too many objections. Here, it's objection left and right, as if...

TheAdvocate You have been watching way too much The Buzz ... IMHO, his focus is on building good foundations for our country. I think the first thing to go are the termites that destroy the very foundation. I equate corruption with the termites - it was so pervasive in...

TheAdvocate I am a member of locationary and have earned better than in mylot. I enjoy entering data for places and like mapping a lot. I guess it depends on the person's temperament. It can become tedious but I usually do this while watching a minimized movie. I do think...

airkulet @airkulet (2700) • Philippines 8 Nov 11

dorisday1971 @dorisday1971 (5657) • Philippines 27 Oct 11

Why are things more expensive in poorer countries?

Andyvil @Andyvil (793) • Philippines 17 Oct 11

I live in the Philippines and things are more expensive here than on more progressive countries such as the US or Europe. I am into photography and I have been planning on purchasing a new lens this Christmas. I was browsing ebay...

TheAdvocate Expensive is a relative term. Did you convert it $ to peso? Personally my observation is the complete opposite of yours. Try buying lenses at Quiapo where they are actually cheaper than buying at ebay. Price is related to purchasing power. As they are...

TheAdvocate Yes, it was, but then I'm a certified HP fan. For most of the series, the directors kept to the storyline. However, if you read the book carefully, you will find the little creative license the directors took did not make the story cohesive. But then that's me...

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27560) • Philippines 23 Jul 11

As usual, there is so much hype about the forthcoming state of the nation address of the president. The July 25th SONA will be President Benigno Aquino's second SONA, and everyone is actually expecting if he had delivered what he...

TheAdvocate Hi Eileen! I was not able to listen to the SONA because I was hard at work (or so my boss thinks). I did watch all the reports and coverages after. I especially liked the one done by GMA where they compared the first years of the past presidents, except for...

TheAdvocate The same way that you do- by closing his eyes too. More than just doing his job, it is unfair for you, and for the public to judge defense lawyers from a moral high ground. You did not hear the entire evidence. You are basing your opinion on what the media has...
