I multi-task. That is, I read while watching TV. Clean while doing the laundry. Read while playing online games. And, I like to babble when I write.

sunbeams Except for delicate stuff that needs to be hand-washed, I always let the laundry shops do most of our household laundry. That way I can do other house chores LOL.

Anna @LadyDuck (471500) • Switzerland 4 Jun 16

sunbeams I love bamboos, especially the golden variety. I like their dainty leaves and the effect in the garden. Funny, you showed bamboo shoots from your garden. Here in the Philippines, we eat bamboo shoots. ^___^

How do you handle people you don't like?

Bhem @JustBhem (70555) • Davao, Philippines 8 Jun 16

Ever since I'm sick. I become very choosy in picking up a new friend. I'm afraid they will not like me because of my current situation. And when it comes to not liking someone, I am very observant about it. If I don't like the...

sunbeams I can understand the exhaustion. I dislike moving at all, and the unpacking and arranging that comes after. But, after you have done all of these you breathe a sigh of relief. I feel for you. In my lifetime, I have moved six times because of my work. Each...

solxee @sol_cee (38219) • Philippines 5 Jun 16

sunbeams In my opinion and since I believe in fairness, it is okay to sometimes go "Dutch" and pay separate bills.I think it depends on how comfortable you are with each other or if both of you decided on it beforehand. In this modern day age, it doesn't matter who...
