Do you think that the small acts like

vijayanths @vijayanths (7877) • India 27 Jun 10

jmchloe_hef In our country (Philippines), imported new books are also expensive especially the books that I like,those books from Oprah's book club, so I usually buy those books in stores that sell used books.There's a lot of stores here that sell used books.

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 23 Jun 10

jmchloe_hef I think because women talk more than men in that way women can release their stresses easily.Most men not all,tend to hide their emotions and it is very stressful to do that and can have impact on physical and mental health.They also tend to keep their...

jmchloe_hef Maybe because people are still optimistic about life's circumstances just like in a relationship even if they already know that it's not going to work they're still trying and hoping that it will work (by the way I'm also guilty about the battery thing)lol..
