A child like you

lafavorito @lafavorito (2959) • Philippines 24 Nov 11

Would you want your child to be exactly like you? As for me... I'd pass. I was way too broody, depressed, insecure and a bit suicidal back then before my hubby found me in the edge of self-destruction. I would rather...

chabawel How far will you go to help this 4 year old boy? Just be careful. Your intentions maybe good, but it might be interpreted wrongly. I think the child needs more understanding and love. Being so young and has already experienced a breakup of his parents,...

people do change a lot and sometimes too fast

hotsummer @hotsummer (13837) • Philippines 20 Nov 11

chabawel Unfortunately, change is the constant thing in life. The way your friendship turned out, you can turn things around depending if you want to commit yourself to still be friends. Maybe you also changed because you no longer trust this friend of...

chabawel Your situation is faced by many. Challenged by responsibility over having fun. Its a matter of time management. If you have kids, you can ask someone to look after them just for a night. If you want to hang out with friends, you can ask them to come...

chabawel In my opinion, what makes a person admirable is how open-minded and opinionated a person is. All of us have been to a life experience to another, and it depends on the person who he/she empower himself/herself with the ability to move on and learn from...

"You don't have to go to church to be a Christian"

dnavarro89 @dnavarro89 (15) • United States 1 May 10

I stopped going to church for awhile, and just recently started going back. I meet a lot of people who say " You don't have to go to church to be a Christian." TO me it is a loaded statement, that provokes a lot of thought for me....

chabawel The "Church" signifies fellowship of believers in Christ not really the building where we go to worship. From this, I agree what others said that you can worship God anywhere. I believe that, in order for your faith to grow more, you need to have fellowship...

What do you think of those people who don't act proper in churches?

egonzales921 @egonzales921 (172) • Philippines 21 Apr 10

Are you realistic or optimistic?

fanficgirl28 @fanficgirl28 (54) • Philippines 13 Mar 10

I honestly am a realistic person. I would believe on bitter truths instead of hanging onto something unimaginable. How do you describe your perspective as a person? Are you realistic or optimistic? Why?

perspective

chabawel I am a person that hopes things will get better but already faced the reality of life. Because life is unpredictable, things can go the way we don't expect. And that gives me room to hope.
