socballais For heaven's sake! This is a typical example of an organization that has its eyes only on the form and not the content. Have you seen government employees at their offices on uniform doing nothing? Have you seen a government worker without uniform working...

glowing eyes in photos---does this mean anything?

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 4 Oct 12

Someone I know recently freaked out when she found out that her eyes glowed in pictures when others' eyes don't. She googled what it means and learned that this could be a symptom of brain cancer. She went to a doctor but the...

Do you tell a lie to someone just to keep things better?

zip12ph @zip12ph (179) • Philippines 30 Sep 12

socballais Lies beget lies. Why? When you lie, you have to cover previous lies with new lies. As you lie, more and more lies are covered until to self-destruct on the weight of those lies. My point is that tell the truth as early as possible. It will set you free.

socballais Singing is good for your health. Frank Sinatra had long years in his life. The key is in the breathing. Singing knows no boundaries. Everybody can belt any song. (If you are a first timer, be sure no one's listening).
