Do you think that all the recent earthquakes and typhoons are interrelated?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 30 Sep 09

Beach countries have been recently attacked by nature, wreaking havoc on these countries' citizenry as well as tourist beachcombers. It almost seems like Mother Nature has a score to settle with tourism and the affluent lifestyle....

Could the death toll from a killer typhoon in Southeast Asia been prevented?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 29 Sep 09

The Reuters news headline reads "Typhoon kills 32 in Vietnam; Philippine Toll at 246" and I don't even know if some of my relatives in Manila are affected. But I just had some form of realization this morning when I woke up. North...

Why do you like going to the beach?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 28 Sep 09

Yeah, tell me, in your own words, why do you like going to the beach? What's with the ocean, sand, and the coconut trees which keep you coming summer vacation after summer vacation?Why would you spend so much money to fly to Italy...

Life is so cool in White Rock, have you been here?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 28 Sep 09

White Rock is way east of Vancouver in the province of British Columbia, Canada. It's a resort town with several wonderful beaches to offer, a brick-laid promenade, a panoramic pier, and of course, a perfect spot to catch crabs...

Anyone wants to visit Vancouver, Canada anytime soon?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 28 Sep 09

Vancouver is my home, I have lived here for almost two years now, and I've never thought of relocating ever since. I'm close to Mediterranean-style beaches like Wreck Beach, Kitsilano (one of top ten beaches in North America...

Have you ever had a supernatural experience happen in your life?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 28 Sep 09

I've had so many miracles in my life that I most of the time I feel like I'm walking with faith. While I was driving down a busy highway with my friend in the passenger's seat, we were both praying when I let go of the steering...

Will the polar bear be extinct or can it help itself?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 27 Sep 09

Some people think that despite the diminishing amount of ice in the North Pole, the polar bear will not go extinct, although there are only roughly 25,000 of them left in the world. After all, the white bear, or Ursus Maritimus,...

What can you do to prevent the extinction of a rare eagle?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 27 Sep 09

At the most, there are only 500 left of the monkey-eating Eagle which has since been renamed as the Philippine eagle. What's so rare about this eagle? This eagle is almost four feet tall, weighs about 15 pounds, with a wingspan of...

Are you really saving money by going to the dollar store?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 27 Sep 09

No doubt, there are a lot of great buys at a dollar store, especially those that really sell items for a $1 each, or less. Most of these goods are, however, made in China. But sometimes, there can be some branded items which...

Can Canada use trash to extend its territory?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 27 Sep 09

When I used to live in Manila in the Philippines, parts of the Roxas Boulevard area have been reclaimed from Manila Bay by using garbage taken from the landfills. Canada is having problems negotiating with landfills in the United...

Which french fries do you like the most, McDonald's, Wendy's or other?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 27 Sep 09

Personally, I hate McDonald's French fries, especially since the crew shoves even the smallest, slightly burned bits in the carton pouch. I know that it may be the way McDonald's cuts the potatoes, but can't they do something...

I like watching CSI Miami a lot, but Horatio turns me off, how about you?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 27 Sep 09

I love watching CSI Miami. I think it's a bankable spin-off of the CSI franchise, albeit more sophisticated and stylish. For example, no actor in CSI Miami would be caught wearing Grissom's threadbare outfits. Don't get me wrong,...

Do you shop at a thrift store to save money in these tough times?

richiemogwai @richiemogwai (36) • Canada 27 Sep 09

I shop at thrift stores a lot these days just to make ends meet. For the uninitiated, a thrift store sells second-hand items that somebody donated. It does help save the environment, because otherwise these items, which are not...
