Snacking

GreenMoo @GreenMoo (11833) 30 Apr 13

I rarely snack, but on the rare occasional I watch a film in the evening, I do like those round savoury biscuits with one of my partner's home made dips. It's got to be such a routine that as soon as we plug the computer in I...

arizen Usually few minutes after a meal, I crave for a snack. And what I did was to stock my fridge with sliced celery and carrots and have a mayo dressing with it. I do not know about the snacks too, maybe it is the happy hormones that we get from chewing.

Trying Not To Be Robotic

jayceeg1987 @jayceeg1987 (293) • Philippines 2 Apr 13

arizen I think you have to start practicing saying no. Your gesture started with kindness and being dependable, but there is a limit to everything. You have to make those people think twice before asking you for help. Or you have to make them consider your situation...

taiwanlife @taiwanlife (745) • Philippines 2 Apr 13

arizen True! Very well said about the media, particularly the news in the philippines. I think, predominantly because of the dire need to feature the latest issue, that we fail to stop and think and analyze the long term consequences of the news in the telly.

Millennial Careers

adforme @adforme (2114) 17 Feb 13

arizen I couldn't agree more. You are right. I guess it only says that every aspect has its pros and cons. The best method will always be to keep a hard copy and a soft copy. So that when one fails, there is still a method to obtain the information.

arizen Eavesdropping is when someone listens secretly when there are people talking. I think you have to check the meaning of eavesdropping. But, I agree with you on the negativity and vileness of gossips.

arizen Thanks for the information. I did not know that such situation exists. This is a sad exhibition of some people's ingratitude towards such programs. I am one with you in wishing that these students be able to keep their words.

arizen When it seems that all around you are too much to take on, you are absolutely right, vent it out nonviolently and breath deeply. Sometimes, it is when we take one step back that we are able to see a different perspective.
