gemparado Writing is difficult as it needs inspiration and focus. If something's boggling your mind you gotta stop first and think of your priorities. If you decide to give up on something then probably it's just something you need to forgo for a much greater deal and...

gemparado You're doing the right thing coz when you got married you vowed to become as one. I think that's the reason as well why you now have the same last name. Your relationship will still grow deeper just try hard not to break the trust that you two have. Me and my...

gemparado It doesn't much have an effect on me coz they've always been seen since the campaign period. What I think though is that they're a great family, so close together. President and first lady do try to meet the expectations of the people who voted for them. You...

gemparado Most of the time, people have like a communication "disconnect" whether it was intentional or not. If a third party was affected by it it's kinda hard to explain coz it's gonna be your word against the other person's words. Sometimes what's going to redeem you...

What do you think of a person who 22 years old and still irresponsible? Not graduate from college yet, not be able to make some money, sometimes I feel like my entire life such a loser. When did you earn money for the first time?...

gemparado I like to wear black to conceal unwanted curves. Aside from that, I do feel elegant and posh if I'm wearing black. But it also depends on the weather. I tend to wear lighter and flashier colors during summer.

gemparado I do love music and can't live a day without listening for one. I'm quite flexible with the type of music I listen to. If I'm feeling romantic I prefer slow jams and if I'm in such a bad mood I want loud music to drown my feelings. What's crazy though is that...

gemparado Life is a continuous learning process. If you're not going to set higher bars for yourself you remain stagnant. I think that not only the government regulatory boards or work trainings will require you to take exams after school but your brain does as well. I...

gemparado As the Count of Monte Cristo said a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss. With this, I can say that success is much sweeter if you've given it much of your time and effort.

gemparado Saying sorry goes along with forgiveness. I'd rather not say sorry to the hurt party yet if I still can't forgive and most importantly forget. You're right that some say sorry like bullet fast and don't mean it. I think that's just them saying that your being...

gemparado Simplicity is beauty as they say. Maybe they say you're simple because you are already happy and contented of what you have and what you are. You don't aspire for too much. Others say you're simple as well based on your looks. If you prefer simple clothes and...
