I'm currently working 8.5 hours each night and spending 30 mins to rest and eat something, stretch my legs and try to wake myself up so I won't fall asleep in front of my computer. Do you guys think it's fair enough? We work 5...

nascent26 So many people mistake it as a call center job, but it's not. I work in an outsourcing company for IT workers. We have clients in the US, website owners who need programmers, web designers, article writers and webmasters to work on their sites. Also the reason...

nascent26 Actually it was an hour before but now they have cut it down to half an hour. I know according to the Philippine Labor Code, employees should be given 60 minute breaks. But the company I work for is a bit stingy I guess.

Have you ever had bad experiences with using public toilets? Well, it's not really a big thing though for the men as we can just pee on the urinal without having to our skin close to the urinal itself..unlike for the women, who...

nascent26 From my own experience it's the men's urinals that are nasty, not women's. Women usually are meticulous about hygiene. We have antibacterial wet wipes, alcohol, cologne/perfume, tissues, powder/talc, etc. What you can usually find in women's bathrooms are...

Is it very difficult to read ebooks on a printout?. I printed and ebooks once cause I find it hard to read on the computer screen as it tired my eyes easily and my reading speed slowed. But there are so many online link that you...

nascent26 That same reason has turned me into an eBook user. I have a hard time seeking books I like in the bookstores in my country so I turn to eBooks. I don't order books online. They're too expensive and finding storage space is a problem. Many ebooks can be stored...

With the news that the last Harry Potter book will never be released as an eBook, I thought it was a bit harsh for those of us who prefer the convenience of eBooks over printed books. How about you? What do you think?

nascent26 Yes, I understand. eBooks can also be pirated just as CDs and DVDs are. I like both printed books and eBooks too. I turn to eBooks when the books I wanted to read are not available in my country. Besides finding storage space for printed books has become a...

nascent26 Well... kids won't normally pick up a book but will sit in front of the computer if allowed to. I think they will learn more effectively if the medium is in the form of one they prefer to interact with. I understand, too well perhaps, how much destruction...

nascent26 Well i started with printed books so I can not heartily say no to them. I have a personal library of books I have read over the years, but maintaining it and finding ways to store them has been difficult. I've turned to eBooks because of that.

nascent26 Well there are mobile phones and PDAs that can store eBooks. So it doesn't mean we have to be stuck in front of a computer all the time reading an eBook.

nascent26 Yes you are right ipissakusina. (Interesting name by the way.) So many are unemployed in this country and every year the stats just increase and never went the other way.

nascent26 Contrary to what you believe, toolbag35, I do not work in a call center. And most importantly, I do not feel discontented with my job. In fact I wouldn't have stayed in the company for more than a year if I have any iota of job dissatisfaction in my body. What...

nascent26 The malicious intent is usually obvious in the first three messages exchanged. Some just go for the throat, you know. Like saying "you are pretty" and the next they are asking you to be their lover. I've met guys online who wanted to show their "tool" to girls...

I usually eat them by dipping them in sugar to sweeten the taste although I haven't done that lately because I have been eating healthy. What about you? How do you eat your strawberries?
