He’s Starting Up Again

DianneN @DianneN (247186) • United States 26 Mar 20

Drat! I thought I had my husband under control, but nope! He saw this darn boat go by and started yapping about how he really wants a boat again. My throat is raw again from explaining why it will never happen. I decided to...

not again

no boat for him of any size

jureathome Oh! my husband used to keep dreaming of having a yacht before retirement. I just shrugged it off because I know that will never happen. Buying a boat or yacht doesn't just end with the purchase of the item, but there will be docking fees (or whatever that is...

jureathome I just finished the 5-day RESET program, and I managed to lose 4lbs. The average recorded weight loss is 5lbs, though. I had to eat a little meat because I'm breastfeeding, so I wasn't able to strictly follow the limits of this program. But, still 4lbs, isn't...

jureathome I just got to watch it on DVD yesterday. I didn't expect Anne's role would only be at the first part, but she played it so well. She didn't look very beautiful there, but she was amazingly good. Did all those big stars really sing their lines? I know...

Great Bohol Experience!

Firefly @cttolledo (5454) • Legaspi, Philippines 9 Feb 13

I had fun roaming around bohol for 4 days. Nice seeing chocolate hills in person..the man made trees.. the island hopping and snorkeling and most of all the experience of lunch buffet in a floating Resto... You should try...

jureathome Bohol is indeed a good place to visit, and not just once, but as many times as you can. If you plan to go back to Bohol but no longer wants to go around the countryside tour, you can just stay at a resort in Panglao. The beach is good enough to satisfy your...

Do you think lovers are most of the time opposite?

kokomo @kokomo (1867) • Philippines 5 Feb 13

I think so! I noticed it when I have my boyfriend. I am a party goer, he is not. He enjoys spending his time in his room more and watch movies or have his rest than hang out with his friends. Even in social gatherings he is not...

jureathome For me, I believe that there should be a right balance of similarities and differences between partners. If you are too much different from each other, interests would conflict. If you're too alike, you would lose the interest and the excitement in getting to...

jureathome I heard that's a pretty common gig of taxi drivers in Manila. When I went there 3 years ago alone to meet my husband at the hotel he's staying, I was so nervous that I may chance upon a malicious taxi driver and I might lose my way. I've never stayed in Manila...

A heart thrilling movie of natural disaster

kingparker @kingparker (9673) • United States 20 Jan 13

If you have a chance to see this movie "The Impossible", I would highly recommend it. As I watch it last night, it was something I might cry for. During the year of 2004, natural disaster like tsunami in Southeast Asia devastated...

jureathome I saw that movie on DVD. I didn't think it would be that moving. I thought it was a low budget movie. But, I liked it a lot, and even shed some tears, especially that part when the brothers got reunited.

jureathome So, would this mean, use paper instead? I hope this ordinance also has something to do about reforestation, because of course, if they will be using paperbags instead of plastics, then more trees will be cut. It is indeed a good idea, and if executed well,...

do you always wear make-up when you go out?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 5 Jan 13

Even when I go to the wet market or open market in the morning, I'd never miss to wear complete make-up. Is that weird? You can just imagine the works---foundation, powder, blusher, eyebrows, eyeliner, lipstick, etc. This really...

jureathome Oh, but don't you like to wear your natural beauty sometimes? I only wear powder, a little pink blush and lipstick, when I go to the mall, church, etc. But, if I'm just going to be around the neighborhood, I just comb my hair and no make up needed. I...

jureathome Hi Summer, you know what, your father in law sounds somewhat like mine. Although, my father in law doesn't think I'm after their money, he demands a lot from my husband. Even, my husband gets irritated by his own father's inconsiderate attitude, but he's...

jureathome Right. It was really very long, as if the director had all the time in the world (in a positive way). Each scene was carefully made and developed. I really loved it. I'm excited for the next part. But, i think it'd be a long wait before the next part of the...

hot waxing your 3 year

C @ShyBear88 (59347) • Sterling, Virginia 8 Jan 13

So I was listening to the radio this morning and Teen mom Farah if you don't know her she is on the Show Teen mom from MTV. Said that she hot wax's and plucks her 3 year old eye brows because she has a unabrow. Do you think this...

jureathome I was also shocked after reading that article on yahoo news. I haven't had any waxing done on my body, but that's because I know it's going to be painful, and I don't really need such procedure that badly. I can't imagine how the toddler managed the pain.

jureathome It sounds like my husband, when he was still a teenager. He told me, he didn't have a good study habit, but he would still end up in the upper 10% of the class. He is really one smart guy, though. He would still ace the exams, even if he had absences. But,...

jureathome True, even if we are not so hooked to the program, or the story, but if the actors did a really great job, we can be moved, and even cry. That happened to me recently. There's this local soap opera that I seldom watch, and on the last episode which was also...
