Screen names

momiecat @momiecat (997) • United States 17 Jan 09

I am curious as to how people choose their screen names. I would think that a lot of time people choose something as an expression for what they are all about. That is how I chose mine. May be, though, some people pick the first...

mendoza_charissa (hi there momie cat, that cat on your pic looks like my cat ^_^) my screen name is my real name, and i've used it since high school (i'm working now). it's easier to remember, because switching names makes me a little confused (like how switching passwords is...

ClassyCat @ClassyCat (1214) • United States 16 Jan 09

mendoza_charissa hello there classy cat ^_^ i agree with, you. not only are we over-medicated, we also live in a society where needs are dictated by ads in media. people from 100 years ago survived without these diet pills, antioxidant pills, and all that, but they turned out...

Positive thinking, do you do this?

jpso138 @jpso138 (7851) • Philippines 16 Jan 09

Many of us have probably heard that positive thinking brings forth a lot of advantages. I always start the day with a positive attitude. I have noticed that it will really help us cope up with whatever we do for the day and the...

Do you prefer the traditional courtship or friends-to-lovers approach??

amazingheart @amazingheart (781) • Philippines 16 Jan 09

Hi everyone!! What you'd rather prefer? Be good friends with a guy/gal first, for some other say its easy for you don't have to pretend to be someone you are not, and friendship gives you more time to ease into the intimacy of a...

Do you scrape your tongue when brushing your teeth?

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 17 Jan 09

I keep seeing references to this and it is supposed to be a beneficial practice that we should undertake whenever we brush our teeth. There can be a lot of build up of "gunk" on the tongue and in trun, this gunk can generate...

mendoza_charissa hey there james! have you tried taking a deep breath then holding it for a while, then try to brush/scrape your tongue? this is what i do, and it actually keeps me from gagging. i don't know if it works for other people, so if you have time, please do try, and...

Is texting another woman considered cheating?

hillgirl311 @hillgirl311 (180) • United States 16 Jan 09

My friend told me that she caught her husband texting another woman from his cell phone. 127 texts between them in one month. They even sent pictures of themselves to each other. She confronted her husband with this and he said...

mendoza_charissa yes, yes, and another resounding yes, it's cheating. they're lying about it, they try to hide it, so both of them know that what they're doing is wrong and they don't want your friend to find out about it. if it's not cheating, they shouldn't have lied about...

Do you pinch your pimples?

Theresaaiza @Theresaaiza (10487) • Australia 16 Jan 09

It looks annoying especially when the pus is starting to show up. I can't help it. I don't wait for it to disappear on its own. I heard some people end up with craters on their faces because of excessive pinching. Do you pinch...

mendoza_charissa hello there theresaaiza ^_^ from what i've read in some magazines, they say it's alright to pinch a pimple if it's "ripe", meaning it looks as if it's ready to burst. but you should have a cotton ball and antiseptic ready (neosporin works really well). i think...

How often do you drink coffee/tea?

janyen @janyen (623) • Netherlands 16 Jan 09

When somebody calls us he/she calls as per her/his own convenience, the caller may not be knowing what we are doing at our place. Sometimes, it so happens that my phone call comes, when I am taking my meals either lunch or dinner....

mendoza_charissa Hello there dpk ^_^ it depends on who's calling. if it's from work, i think i'll take the call. if it's one of my buddies, i think the call can wait a few more minutes. i'll just send a text message saying that i was busy, and he/she can call again if he/she...

Once a cheater.. always a cheater?

HeavenUnaware @HeavenUnaware (1757) • United States 15 Jan 09

I'm curious what your opinions are on this subject. Do you honestly believe that if a person cheats once, that means they will forever be cheaters or do you think that they can see the error of their ways, realize the mistake they...

mendoza_charissa Hi heaven! I believe in a person's capacity to change. If he or she was once a cheater, this person can be reformed, as I've seen it happen to my father. See, my dad cheated on my mom for eleven years (thank God I have not half-brothers/-sisters)....

Do people in the Philippines prefer British or Americans?

mattwilkie @mattwilkie (278) 15 Jan 09

Im just wondering if it makes any difference where the foreigner comes from. My wife didnt like Americans even before we met. But even on a night out I met a French and Belgium guy that didnt like me and the guy who was with me...

mendoza_charissa Maybe the only reason that a Filipino might prefer an American over a British guy is because Filipinos are more acquainted with the way Americans speak. But besides that, it doesn't make any difference at all. Filipinos in general are pretty much friendly to...

Halo Halo Ice Cream or Original Halo Halo?

modstar @modstar (9605) • Philippines 15 Jan 09

Yups. There's such a thing as Halo Halo ice cream. Ok, before anything else, Halo Halo is a dessert/snack made up of crushed iced, milk, sugar, mixed fruits (beans, jello-o, nata de coco, bananas, uber, jackfruit, etc.) and with...

mendoza_charissa original halo halo is so much better than ice-cream flavored halo halo. why? because the real halo halo can make you choose which ingredient to eat first, and which ones to leave out (i never got used to eating kaong). plus the original is more satisfying....

What do you do when you are MAD?

wheel416 @wheel416 (1019) • Canada 15 Jan 09

OK, I'm slightly annoyed today but I don't get angry very often. But, if I do watch out because it isn't going to be a pleasant sight. Most of the time when I get mad I will cry instead of yell, scream or holler. I don't curse or...

mendoza_charissa Hi! I believe it's great that you can vent out your anger (sans the violence ;p), it's a healthy habit actually. If you feel angry, you SHOULD somehow get it out of your system, because if you make a habit of putting a lid on your anger, this can hurt your...

mendoza_charissa All I can say is that your neighbor is definitely one unhappy person. When you said hello to her, maybe you looked so happy, and she felt even more miserable, that's why she wants you to be unhappy as well. We should be thankful that we can be cheerful enough...

mendoza_charissa In my opinion, there is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE for a teacher (or anyone for that matter) to yell at your daughter. I think MonkOVision is right, the teacher only apologized because she suddenly realized what her action might bring her. I think your daughter is...
