kayedanda @kayedanda (1850) • Philippines 11 Sep 08

Essedel My niece likes to sing first before she sleeps, LOL. XD Anyway, did you sing to your baby while she was still in your womb? Research has proven that playing soothing music and talking to your baby while still inside your womb does a lot of wonders to his or...

kayedanda @kayedanda (1850) • Philippines 11 Sep 08

Essedel Wow, that is very harsh. Yeah, we have to actually go through such episodes because really...it would be unusual if all the topics that we could think of are not covered by another question or discussion in some way. Of course, we have to "repackage" it into...

what would you rather have?

kayedanda @kayedanda (1850) • Philippines 11 Sep 08

a fun job that does not remunerate much? or a boring job that pays a lot? right now, i'd have to go for the latter, being a new mom and all. i find that having a baby somehow pushed aside my idealism (that of...

Essedel I'd rather have a fun job that doesn't pay well. I feel if you do have this high paying job and you go to work all the time, it will suddenly become as just another extra chore for you to do. And we all hate chores to some extent right? I really am more for...

Essedel It is the entirety of the woman who makes her feminine, not just her clothes or her physical appearance - it also has a lot to do with personality as well. You could also add in a woman's thoughts, feelings, and actions. Also, as one famous quote says it,...

The Power of a Woman's Tears

kayedanda @kayedanda (1850) • Philippines 10 Aug 08

Do you cry to get what you want? I think that one of the most powerful weapons of a woman against men is her tears. Or at least, that's how it is in my case (my husband's heart breaks when he sees me crying). Just two nights ago,...

Essedel It really depends on how you want to use your tears. If you want them to be used like a weapon, then it's a deadly weapon, and most men find that very much distressing so they would try to patch up things and sometimes do something special so as the women...

questionsnoanswers @questionsnoanswers (622) • Canada 10 Aug 08

I hear alot of young couples saying, "Oh we are going to start our carreers, buy a house, and a car, etc etc; then we will have children" How long will it take to get all this stability? Parents now days are like 40years old. They...

Essedel It actually really depends on the couple. If they feel that they could handle the responsibilities of having kids at young ages, then by all means there are no people stopping them to do what they want. Of course, if they do so, they must realize that having...

kayedanda @kayedanda (1850) • Philippines 8 Aug 08

I know he smokes even when we were still on the early stages of our relationship but now, it's getting in my nerves. He stinks after he had a smoke and kissing him is not as much enjoyable as it used to be. I am also worried for...

Essedel That's a hopeless case. My mom and dad are arguing a lot about it, and my dad still can't quit. He's been smoking since HS. And even his TB didn't stop him from smoking! And now when he complains about feeling all sorts of pain that he has, he still gets angry...

Essedel Wow, would you believe that I didn't know how to cook a long time ago? XD The first lessons I learned were how to boil water, how to cook rice, and how to cook sunny side up. My attempts at boiling water sometimes backfire back then, I left it at the stove too...
