marisriel I like gold when it comes to value but I like silver more when I go out. I often commute and I don't think I can wear gold accessories without being afraid for my life. I had an experience when my necklace was snatched when I was riding a jeepney and I got...

if baby shampoo's got a no more tear formula,why cant adult shampoo have d same?

mhayfie @mhayfie (241) • Philippines 24 Mar 09

i wonder why most of the baby shampoo are not irritating in the eyes while the adul shampoo's are so irritating if you are not careful in applying and may run over your eyes.... what do you think why is that so?

baby

shampoo

marisriel I think maybe because adults are already able to keep their eyes close when needed unlike babies.

marisriel I didn't really know what's the current fuss about Manny Pacquiao. I just heard him saying that he's switching to ABS CBN and then last night, he's apologizing to GMA 7 again. I think everyone knows that he's just doing it for the money, it's just funny that...

What is it like to have chicken pox as an adult?

Julie @movicont (495) • United States 11 Sep 08

I've never had chicken pox before in my life, and though I'm not quite an adult yet, I've heard that having it in my older years is really, really bad. Does anyone know if it's quite as bad as I've heard?

marisriel I have to agree with this. The money that I use to spend for grocery last year only lasts for half a week now compared to last year when my grocery lasts for a whole week. It means doubling work to be able to earn the money worth that I had last year.

Candy wrappers: place them in your pocket if there are no trash cans around

zorlone @zorlone (411) • Philippines 2 Mar 09

marisriel Same here with me, I am really not used to throwing anything just anywhere. Sometimes I am guilty of doing this when I can't help it but only when my thrash is too big for my pockets, for example, I had a disposable cup from a McDonald's float and I'm riding a...

Who's your favorite judge?

cripfemme @cripfemme (7698) • United States 7 Dec 08

I like Heidi Klum. I'm not a big fan of Micheal or Nina. Heidi and I tend to agree on designers. My favorite judging thing, however, was when Tim Gunn got to judge the finale after J-Lo got sick. Too bad, Kenley!

favorite

marisriel My favorite is Heidi. I wasn't able to watch Tim Gunn do the judging. I am really sad I missed that. Tim Gunn has his own show, I forgot what show was that but it's also a fashion reality thing, but more of the wearer type not the designers. I will have to...

marisriel My kids and I love Winnie the Pooh because he and his friends are more colorful than Tweety. They are also cuter, I think. But that really depends on our tastes. Tweety bird is adorable too but we don't get to watch tweety bird animation these days. My kids...

Is eating spicy food really bad for the body?

ramsec517 @ramsec517 (53) • Philippines 10 Feb 09
