giggles721 I would definitely want younger generations address me accordingly like auntie or "ate" (addressed to older women hear in the Philippines). It's somewhat confusing though when the age difference gets in the way of the hierarchy. For example in our family I...

giggles721 That would be easier said than done. Some just work for themselves and maybe that's why it's easier to gamble and take risks. For those who have dependents, may it be children or pets or any living thing, they would strive to be able to provide more or acquire...

Food for the beggars.

asdomencil @asdomencil (4265) • Philippines 24 Mar 13

I just thought of this one. I saw some beggars asking money from every one to buy food. They keep on saying that they haven't had their dinner or breakfast. Sometimes, I thought of giving them food instead of money since this...

giggles721 Giving money directly to them is against the law. It would only encourage them to stay out in the streets and ask for it when they can work for it. If there's a will, there's a way. Some of them will not like to be given food directly because that's not what...

giggles721 You would think that other foreigners are also fluent in English but that's not the case. Even native English speakers are not fluent. The accent and diction differs in different parts of the U.S. so don't think that there's a right way of speaking fluent...

When would you let your kids get a Facebook account?

katsmeow1213 @katsmeow1213 (28716) • United States 4 Mar 13

giggles721 Maybe 25yr old is the ideal age for a woman to get pregnant because our body would be mature enough to grow another being in us and our nourishing instincts would have also develop by then. If she is really determined to be a mom and still have her career at...
