I think this makes sense to a degree. But I really only agree with it in regards to paying for kids as they weigh next to nothing typically. It's us adults who have troubles control our weight. And in the article...

anne25penn I have experience during one of my trips that prior to boarding, we were weighed . It was only a local flight and I didn't really think much about it, but I wonder what if I weighed more than the average person? Would they charge me per pound?...

Since my father died, my mother exhibited troubled behaviors. I was 16 years old then. I don't know the main reasons about the psychological problems. What I know is I came from a poor family. Could it be a major factor that...

anne25penn I guess your mom became too sad when your dad died and now she cannot cope with the loss. People deal with death in different ways, and the way that they will be able to cope with the sadness will depend on the people around them. Just make sure that your mom...

Why are people care so much about what other people care about them? It is self-limiting and rather unhealthy. There is truly little benefit to caring what other people think. Though it can be useful to know what other people...

anne25penn When I was younger (like during my teenage years), I used to mind what other people thought about me. I was so self conscious and insecure that I literally would shut myself inside the house. I always thought that I was ugly because my mom would always tell me...

anne25penn If you're in Manila like me, then going to Baguio will take around five to six hours. Plus it is expensive. My suggestion is to go to Tagaytay. It is much nearer than Baguio, plus you won't have to spend that much. The only downside is that unlike Baguio, I...

We all know that Asian women won't have white skin when they was born but right now many Asian women try many ways/methods to get white skin even though it is dangerous to their health/skin because of cheap cream with harm...

anne25penn I recall a few years ago, there was a buzz on a face cream commercial because of their play on the importance of having white skin. The commercial was about a ballet audition and the reason why the girl wasn't chosen was because she didn't "stand out" because...

If in case I cannot login again, then you will know why. I posted a few hours ago a news article about Sabah and how Ninoy Aquino agreed to give it up in exchange for political allies. Just a few minutes ago I wanted to check on...

anne25penn It has happened before, I will not be surprised if our news will be flooded in the next few days about the new pope and the Sabah issue will dwindle away. The government is just waiting for a news tidbit that they can exaggerate in order to cover up their...

anne25penn After EDSA, so much of the plans were shelved. But if you look closely at all the infrastructure projects going on right now, it takes those who lived in the 70's and 80's to know that it has been planned even before. It's now like double whammy on Pinoys...

anne25penn When the news about Sabah came up, I wasn't surprised to see that our government response is cold with the issue. These politicians really have no regard for the lives of the people they are accountable for.

anne25penn It was hot and humid earlier, but thankfully it is raining now. This will help cool my plants so I don't need to water them later anymore. Plus, I like it when it rains because it washes or cleans our streets. Not that our streets are dirty. But it's nice to...

anne25penn That is the downside of the peso strengthening against the dollar. OFW families find themselves now with lower spending power or income since the exchange has gone drastically down. Thank you for your reply.
