pisces24 hi, anne25penn! the problem is with your neighbors, not the guy who invented the karaoke/videoke/minus one (i think it was roberto del rosario of trebel). the karaoke/videoke/minus one is one of the greatest things that happened to us. i do believe that a...

When working, would you prefer some background music? or complete silence?

laydee @laydee (12798) • Philippines 13 Dec 09

I've come to a point where I'm tired of having to work in complete silence. I think a little music would not hurt, but after a few songs, I find myself switching the radio or the mp3 off. So, what are your preferences?

pisces24 hi, laydee (3977)! when i'm doing some serious work, i'd like to do it in silence so i could concentrate more. i want background music (soft, mostly) when i'm doing no-brainer tasks.

Do things happen for a reason?

pablina @pablina (83) 27 Dec 09

What do you think of GMAs decision to run for congress?

ybong007 @ybong007 (6643) • Philippines 3 Dec 09

From being the president of the republic of the Philippines, GMA is now running for congress in the up coming 2010 elections. I just find it a bit odd or to the point of raising an eyebrow so to speak because of her decision. I...
