I am very pissed off already. It takes several minutes to load a page. I do not know what the problem is. My anti-virus also says that there is an invalide update control ctf file. I am not familiar with those things and I am...

brenbelmonte A slow internet connection affects your PC's performance whenever you surf the web. If your PC is slow even when doing things offline, most probably you have to clean your PC. Delete excess files, folders or programs and run your antivirus program. Otherwise,...

how would you react to a person who just happen to shout or yell at you for not knowing what's the reason behind?

brenbelmonte I think it would depend on the mood I'm at at that moment. Sometimes, I could be very sober, so maybe I'll just let that person finish and then talk to him civilly. But if I'm not in the mood myself, I might yell at him back and talk to him in a louder voice...

Text or Talk?

vanonas @vanonas (949) • United States 8 Dec 08

What do you prefer? I have unlimited texts so I like texting more. Of course when I want to have long conversations I would call the person. But overall.. I love texting. It's a better way of communicating while you're in a place...

brenbelmonte Aside from beating the cost of calls, I prefer using SMS because I'm more of a one answer per question kind of a person - and I easily get tired of talking...LOL! Also, I like all my communications to be private as much as possible as I don't want anybody...

brenbelmonte I always do because there's no other way of knowing who might be on the other line. I always presume that the call is important and I screen only after receiving the call.

brenbelmonte I thought too before the fight. It's like Manny is heading for a suicide considering the height and other advantages of dela Hoya. I've watched several fights of Manny and I'm so touched everytime he kneels down to pray before and after each and every boxing...

I love you because I need you OR I need you because I love you

maroseqf @maroseqf (3657) • Philippines 30 Nov 08

Which one do you think is better? and which you do you prefer being said to you?

love

need

brenbelmonte I think, the first, implies self-centeredness to the one saying it and the second, it implies dependence to the one being loved. For me, love is something you give unconditionally, without expecting or demanding anything in return. So, I'd rather hear "I...

Sreekala @Sreekala (34312) • India 25 Nov 08

brenbelmonte I do obey traffic rules, not only because I don't want to violate but foremost it's because I want to stay safe, alive and I will not be wasting my money for violation tickets or corrupt traffic enforcers. Although I admit having been forced to receive...

If your teen told you they were pregnant??

marcialoyd @marcialoyd (1173) • United States 25 Nov 08

If your teenager came home tommorow and told you she was pregnant how would you react? I would give her lots of love and support. No one wants this to happen to their child but once it happens you can’t undo it. It will be a very...

brenbelmonte If I were in the situation, most probably I would drop unconscious LOL!! or if I were to able to carry the situation, I might go out and hunt for the man and demand that they get married or that he gives support. My daughter will surely get a mouthful of...

In your opinion, can money buy you happiness?

Cheez01 @Cheez01 (37) • United States 22 Nov 08

Yes, it may be a cliche question but I'm curious. Do you think money can buy happiness? What about love? Why or why not?

happiness

happy

money

brenbelmonte I think one can buy happiness that is just skin-deep and temporary. But if you intend to have a long-lasting kind of happiness, you have to work for it.

brenbelmonte Against a population of 88.57 million Filipinos as of August, 2007 (I researched this figure), I think the figure says that our country is poor and backward. Business wise, I think this means that the computer and internet business will prosper because there...

anybody here who uses chikka and now having a hard time logging in?

NonaSaile @NonaSaile (924) • Philippines 24 Nov 08

I have an account at chikka.com and every now and then I use it when I need to send a quick SMS. The past few weeks, I have been failing to log in. I don't go there often, so I'm not sure if it's just me and my pc, or if there is...

chikka

7 responses

brenbelmonte I experienced difficulty logging-in several times. So, I figured that the chikka server might just be busy. In the alternative, I use the web chikka instead. Just go their site and you can log-in there too. The visual so-so, is better.

Transparency of Charter Change in the Philippines

The Philippine government recently called for transparency over the proceedings of the move to change or amend its constitution. The Philippine constitution was ratified on the year 1987 and the present government suggests that it...

brenbelmonte We have amended our Constitution several times since the Marcos's but we haven't solved our problems. In fact, we are facing more complicated problems now. I think, charter change will never be the answer or solution to our problems. The problem lies in all of...

brenbelmonte If you were serious in your studies, I don't think there's anything to worry about. Don't think about it as "utang na loob" because I'm sure your aunt did it not for herself but for you and your future. The fact that you graduated is enough to compensate your...
