jazel_juan @jazel_juan (15746) • Philippines 18 Apr 13

seriousnuts I too feel the same way as you do. Constantly complaining only exudes a negative aura. Negativity affects other people's moods. When people around me say negative things, I always end up feeling drained and down. Staying away completely from complaining...

How does stress affect you?

gloryacam @gloryacam (5540) • Philippines 1 Oct 12

My friend was texting me at 4 in the morning (well at least that's what the time stamp says) saying she was still up at that time and that's it's probably because she's stressed out at work. I think that stress is making her lack...

seriousnuts I think I'm quite the opposite. Whenever I'm stressed, I don't feel like eating at all. There was this time when I couldn't even swallow the food properly and felt so nauseated because of too much stress. Whenever I feel stressed, I would usually...

Jshean20 @Jshean20 (14348) • Canada 22 Sep 12

If you were offered a spot in the "Miss Universe" competition would you want to compete? Myself I wouldn't. I'm a pretty shy person and I wouldn't feel comfortable walking around on stage knowing that everyone was watching me and...

seriousnuts I am also a pretty shy person so just like you, I wouldn't want to join the competition. I don't think I would want that kind of attention. Receiving a compliment about my beauty from my significant other is the only thing I needed. Each time he praises me, I...

seriousnuts Sad music is okay with me but I prefer to listen to them at night. It feels weird to listen to sad tunes during the day and it would only make me feel very sleepy. I like to listen to energetic songs too! Makes me happy and awake.

seriousnuts NO, I don't think it's bad to go out in public with wet hair, especially in a place such as the mall. I have long hair and it takes time to dry it after shower, so it's not uncommon for me to go out with wet hair. I don't like using a blower and would prefer...
