artist_by_blood Good for you! It doesn't matter how many friends or connections he has or who he is, bad breath is a definite turn-off. Even if he was the cutest popular guy in school, i would have to decline his offer to go on a date with him. Not unless, he realizes the...

artist_by_blood There is hope for the Philippines. The hope lies in its people, in the knowledge they have learned, in their capabilities and in their willingness to challenge themselves to be competitive. An educated nation will always have a future. While a country that...

Evacuee @Evacuee (1147) 19 Mar 07

When you leave your loved one for any time do you leave with a kiss or is it just a shout of goodbye at the door. I have never parted from my wife without giving her a kiss goodbye before leaving, no matter if I was just...

artist_by_blood It depends really with whom i am parting with. If i'm leaving the house and my sisters are home, i make it a point to say good-bye with a hug and kiss. If it's my mother, i just give her a kiss. My dad's usually out by the time i wake up. I see him at night....

artist_by_blood When under stress, there are times when i'll eat too much and times when i'll skip meals only because i forget to eat. It's really not advisable. It's the fastest way to sickness. Lately, i've become an emotional eater. I have two words for that,...
