periwinklez I can live without it. Hahah! That's when a few years back when cellphone was not invented yet. It's not a necessity for everyone. It depends on what lifestyle you have. You see? If you are living simply in a far flung area I mean in very remote areas, who...

aeisle @aeisle (377) • Philippines 25 Jan 12

Most of our fastfood chains today offers a lot of value meals. Originally they were designed to save few coins or Pesos here in the Philippines. From our fastfoods today, do you still think you are really saving some of those...

periwinklez I see myself in you. Back then I always analyse (even until now) things especially if it concerns money. I guess it's natural for a thrifty or "frugal" person like us. Hahah! Maybe you are right, those package or savers meals is just a "hoax".I don't know how...

Why can't people just be grateful?

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 8 Jan 12

I believe we are all born with the capacity for gratitude, but many times we get in our own way. Two common examples of this are pessimism and perfectionism. Pessimists and perfectionists may have things to be grateful for in...

periwinklez Because human nature is insatiable. Enough is never enough because we always find something missing. We often overlook the 90% that we have and focuses on the 10% missing. I guess pessimism and perfectionism somehow co-relate to each other and sometimes go...

periwinklez It's okay for children to have this habit. There's a psychological explanation or theory to this but I forgot. And this also connects to adults smoking. But with your husband's case, kinda weird and it's my first time to hear that an adult still "thumb sucks"....

periwinklez Tsk! just because she looks so good makes you fall head over heels? come on? You don't know her. It's just infatuation, a mere attraction. With so much photo editing software available now, how can you be so sure that she is a SHE, perhaps she could be a HE....
