Would you help turn in a gunman for free coffee?

dmanuel i just hope that if someone is kind enough to identify the bad guy it's because it's the right thing to do and not because of the freebies. bad guys are supposed to be behind bars and their acts should not be tolerated.

cheerldr @cheerldr (594) • Philippines 29 Jan 07

Crying

emilieespino @emilieespino (963) • Philippines 28 Jan 07

Does crying make you feel better? It does make me feel better afterwards. How about you? But it's not just sadness that makes us cry. Sometimes we also cry tears of joy, don't we?

dmanuel it really makes me feel better.it calms me and make me feel real good. the only thing i don't like about crying is the aftermath. my eyes become swollen-shut for two days (if it's a lot of crying) and i always end up looking like Jackie Chan :)
