oyenkai @oyenkai (4394) • Philippines 20 May 09

Sometimes we underestimate the logic behind our own gut feelings - we consider them simply as "instinct" but we do not realize that many of these "gut feelings" are our subconscious pointing us to what it believes is the right...

You should listen to your own advice too.

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 19 May 09

I have been great with advising people here when it comes to day-to-day living and relationships. But I know deep down inside, I know the theories and logics but I'm not really applying them to my own life. It's crazy, I know, but...

donnaweis I try not to give advice unless it is asked for. My problem is that I know the solution because I have been there and done that. I try to only pull advice from past experiences. When I was younger and did not understand that I should practice what I preach my...

I'm 21 and single ever since. Is that odd?

kukaisiton @kukaisiton (702) • Philippines 20 May 09

The truth is I don't give any pressure to myself that I should find anyone right now. It's just that a lot of people around me are telling me that I should find a boyfriend right now. They'd say that they can't believe that I've...

donnaweis Have you ever looked at someone and seen them as beautiful, even though they do not live up to societies standards of beauty? Beauty is not skin deep. I think the best way to be seen as beautiful is to have a personality of honesty and sincerity, beyond that...
