casper20 @casper20 (1463) • India 30 Dec 09

Butter flavoured shortening vs Butter

alextrg @alextrg (86) • Malaysia 14 Dec 08

Which is your ammo :) I just don't get it why people still use shortening when we all know for a fact that it's a lot worse than butter, in terms of health and flavour... yes shortening makes the cake last longer, but... why...

Married men live longer than single men, but they are a lot more willing to die

jamenzojoy @jamenzojoy (57) • Philippines 13 Dec 08

I don't know but when i encountered this on one joke book compilation, i just couldn't help but think. it could be downright humorous and silly but i think it does makes sense. although to a certain point, i guess. i have seen...

cienna funny joke! lol! but i think the statement is conflicting:) because i believe that the reason why a married man lives longer (if this is true) is because he has a lot to live for -- his family. while the second part of your statement -- "they are a lot more...

cienna well, when people get old, they sometimes act like children. (as what was already said) it's because of loss of memory, mental alertness and patience. and most of the times, our grandparents need to feel important, they need our attention. that is why they...

cienna i can't remember cooking something that i do not like to eat. it's like i am not motivated to do so because i know i don't want to eat it. but, if i really am forced to do so..., i'd do it for my loved ones only.... or for business.. lol!

How Gentle Are You?

kerriannc @kerriannc (4279) • Jamaica 12 Dec 08

During my years as a pastor, I encountered many Christians who were anything but gentle. They had no patience for fellow believers with character flaws or who were involved in sinful practices. They also showed little kindness...

cienna hi, kerry. yes, most of us, if not all, are somehow guilty of having "ungentleness" in us. and it's really very helpful that you posted this reminder. thank you. i will try to be more gentle in the future. God bless.

Did you watch the dream match of Delahoya and Pacquiao?

cienna yup, watched it! i even cancelled a meeting with a friend to make room for watching the match. it was worth it because he won, though a bit disappointing because i think it was a one-sided game. nevertheless, pacquiao made us proud again! mabuhay!

Being Single during the holidays?

DoriLentrich @DoriLentrich (1016) • United States 5 Dec 08

cienna well, i had experience being single during the holidays many years back. i consider this season to be the most important event of the year so it was pretty lonely and of course depressing to be alone during these times. but, because my family and friends were...

Exchange gift-ideas for P200-P300

oyenkai @oyenkai (4394) • Philippines 2 Dec 08

We're having our very first Christmas party this year (we're a new company, and most of us are newly grads). So the secretary said that we'd be having exchange gifts but we'd be playing some kind of lottery for the gifts, so each...

15 responses

cienna it's really hard to think of an exchange gift idea mainly because you don't know who you're giving it to. you need to think of a "general" and unisex gift that could be useful to the receiver, but not so common that it wouldn't appeal to him/her anymore....
