My sister says that a UP student never forgets their student number. While a student of the university, the student number is as important as the Social Security number of an American. How long has it been since you graduated from...

snookumsnort Glad to get a man's point of view. But I do wish that guys would just say what they mean straight up. Although the guessing game can be quite fun too.

snookumsnort i think she got the hint. if she starts ignoring you, it just goes to show how much value she puts on your "friendship".

The other day during a job interview, the owner of the company asked me what the population of the Philippines was. I gave the stupid answer of 500 million. Then he asked if I knew what the GDP was. Being out of the country for 2...

snookumsnort What was strange about it was that it had NOTHING to do with the population of the Philippines or its GDP at all. He even told me that for a highly educated person involved with numbers, that information was something I should have known. I think he just had...

There's this person who contacted me via my Friendster account and wants to chat. He seems harmless enough but I'm really apprehensive about chatting with strangers even over the internet. I don't think my husband will mind but I...

snookumsnort Thanks for the warning. I did agree to chat with the guy but when I went online via webcam with my family, he started pestering me the WHOLE DAY about how much he wanted to view my webcam and how he was going to be a "gentleman" about it. Then he went on to...

I have 2 kids (2 and 1) and I've been hearing a lot lately that everything has to be even with the two of them. And I agree. But then I've had people come and tell me that when one celebrates his / her birthday, I should make sure...

snookumsnort I have the same concerns too. I don't want them growing up thinking they're entitled to something just because someone else got them. And I want them to understand that we can be happy for someone else on their special day even if they don't get anything.

In Stevens County, Washington, Carol DeLeon got 6 years for the death of her adopted son, Tyler DeLeon. She got an alfred plea deal where she pleads guilty without admitting her guilt. An alfred just means she knows she'll...

snookumsnort Oh dear. If it was a couple of years, how can she let him die of dehydration (that's what the news said) and still claim that she took good care of him? 6 years may be too little. She shouldn't be allowed to take in foster kids anymore.

I just watched the movie Order of the Phoenix. I was just wondering why Voldemort needs the prophecy. It was mentioned that he didn't have something when he first tried to kill Harry so he is looking for that something now that he...

snookumsnort That's what I was wondering about too. Because it really didn't say much except that one of them has to die. But didn't seem to be anything on how it could've given Voldemort the upper hand.

As I previously mentioned, out of the 8 in our barkada, 6 went to Ateneo, 1 to UST and me to UP. I was just wondering if any of you feel the same. We always get together at few times a year. Our UST friend seems to have "given" up...

snookumsnort I have the same observation with my friends. Sometimes they forget that they have non-UP friends around. I just think it is courteous that when people get together they try to be as non-exclusive as they can with their conversations.

Hi ladies. Honestly, if you could have a stay-in nanny for $100 to $150 a month, would you take advantage of the situation and interact with your child less? I ask the question because I'm on vacation in a country where...

snookumsnort You do have an interesting point and I have to agree with you about quality time. We were raised by a nanny each but we are closer to our parents than we are to the nannies. I do have a question, if the parents work 8 hours a day and spend say only 2-4 hours...

snookumsnort Hi. I think what he pointed out was that people could easily misinterpret Mark 16:16 and say that you have to believe AND go to church to be saved. But the writer pointed out that that is not the case because as you mentioned there is no text in the Bible that...

snookumsnort Regarding Mark 16:16, I read an article too that explained it further: http://www.carm.org/doctrine/Mark_16_16.htm. It cites that baptism (the rite) is not a requirement for salvation. If I remember correctly, Christ placed more importance in the renewal of...

I read in the newspaper that certain Catholic churches were starting to require dress codes for church goers. It went as far as specifying what kind of tops, dresses, or bottoms to wear. I've always believed in the clothes not...

snookumsnort I think most agree that people should dress modestly in a Church. Fancy shmancy clothes or expensive ones are not a requirement, but at least modest clothes. The debate is whether the Church should go so far as to propose specific items of clothing as...
