nickventere I can kind of relate to that. This is gonna be a whole new experience. I think in the long run we shall all get used to it. It's basically about adapting to the situation or environment. Admittedly, it's a lot of work to work from home with younger children...

nickventere To turn away from sin is simple yet difficult. Simple because we can decide NOT to commit what our respective faiths consider to be sin. Difficult because, mortal as we are, we are bound to sin. For instance, someone accidentally bumps into you, disturbing...

nickventere Religion, I think, is like the secular laws we have. It sort of helps to mold our "direction" i life an daily living. This is by do's and don't's that have been spelt out by the supreme being or the prophets and teachers. Whether we are better off without ot...

nickventere I know this stuff. I prefer to mix it with water or milk as instructed by the manufacturer. Though, my kids love licking it off and let it melt in their mouth.

How often do you let misguided emotions drive you?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17387) • Canada 3 Jan 11

Over this holiday break, I have been a witness of a misguided emotion that nearly broke up a relationship. Although I was in the front seat of the drama, I felt it was not my place to say anything, so I kept my mouth...

nickventere I don't know if I had to respond to this post. Well, reason is that I have never been overtaken by my emotions, misguided or not, to drive people away. Many a time that my emotions are invoked, after a provocation of course, I usually want to contain myself....

Small children bring picture, which they draw in the kindergarten or in the primary school, to home. When we respect and admire their works they become very happy. When we hang their picture on the wall, than keeping them in a...

nickventere I agree with you wholly. I do enjoy keeping all my kids works. The other day, my 15-year old was "spooked" when I showed he water colour paintings she did when she was only 5 and she couldn't believe it! She is a very good artist now, in her 11th grade next...

Unanswered prayer

crisdel12 @crisdel12 (78) • Philippines 14 Dec 10

There were many times in our life that we pray for world peace, justice, good health, financial success, and many good things in life. However, no matter how good our intentions were, our prayers remained unanswered and we begin...

nickventere If you really believe in God, the monotheistic being worshipped by Christians, Muslims and Jews, then you will already have realised that such a prayer cannot be answered. Why? You might ask. Well, this God explicitly makes it clear when he says, as quoted...

Julian Assange

pmdeazeta @pmdeazeta (13) • Philippines 9 Dec 10

Do you think that Julian Assange is doing something good for the people? Or do you think that government secrets should not be given out to public?

nickventere Oh yes, he is helping shape and define the limits of freedom of information that the US has ever preached about. If governments are really by the people and for the people, why keep information from them, especially if it is the same people that sustain that...

nickventere I love new gizmos that are rocking on the market, but in as far as a cellphone is concerned, I am still happy with my Nokia 6230i because it kinda seems to ahve all that I need: FM radio, video recorder, bluetooth. These are the "majors" for my ideal phone. I...

Mayweather apologizes for being a racist...

santosmarichris @santosmarichris (1849) • Philippines 5 Sep 10

What the, pink... He called Pacquiao a midget and a dog eater and now he wants to apologize. His a big freaking racist. People like him are a big disgrace. First of all his a big coward for not fighting Pacquiao and now he disses...

nickventere Right from the beginning, Mayweather has never wanted to fight the Pacman because he is scared of him. That is why Mayweather keeps offending Manny, trying to frustrate him and all. I think he's no more than just a jerk!
