w1z111 @w1z111 (985) • United States 7 Mar 07

I wish they'd make up their minds. A while back (years) they said coffee wasn't real good for us, especially frequent consumption. Now they're saying it's good for us. Don't get me wrong, I like my coffee...just wondering how...

Are you willing to pay High Tuition fees for Pre-Schools?

clod0327 @clod0327 (817) • Philippines 26 Mar 07

I only have a 1.4 year old daughter but I notice that pre-schools now accept toddlers as young as 1.8 years old. So I already started scouting for good pre-schools in our area where I can enroll my daughter. But I was shocked...

nangkasuy I too am looking for a preschool for my eldest. So far the rates I've encountered are P52k with everything included. And a P29k tuition only. It's really sad that pre-schools in the country are just too expensive. Some just put up a pre-school just to be able...

ethanmama @ethanmama (1745) • Philippines 16 Feb 07

For me, real heroes are people who put the needs of others before his/her own needs or wants, without any personal agenda. Off the top of my head, these are heroes: - Every loving parent who has put his/her child's needs before...

nangkasuy I read in many articles, one - two cups of coffee a day is healthy. More than that isn't healthy anymore. Like they say, too much of anything is bad for you. I drink one cup a day of coffee, sometimes two. If I want to drink more, I take the decaf.
