What is the best country in the world?

tobi_brown_eyes @tobi_brown_eyes (30) • Philippines 2 May 08

Of course you'll say your own country is the best, won't you? But honestly speaking, what country is the best in the entire world? Some say it's America because it is the perfect example of democracy and people who live there are...

tobi_brown_eyes You're so lucky because you've gone to all those places. I also like my country, in a way, but I'd like to visit other places too.

tobi_brown_eyes Yes, and I guess media has a lot to do with that, doesn't it?

I fell off the bus today

tobi_brown_eyes @tobi_brown_eyes (30) • Philippines 2 May 08

I was so furious I shouted at the bus conductor. You see, here in the Philippines, most buses do not have their own doors. Yes, people just step in and out just like that, and buses never stop, most of the time anyway. And even...

tobi_brown_eyes It's so frustrating isn't it? The passengers should be of first priority but that's not what happens.

Is reading really for nerds?

tobi_brown_eyes @tobi_brown_eyes (30) • Philippines 2 May 08

I love to read, even when I was really young, I already loved to read. I started on the Sweet Valley Books and eventually progressed on to more mature reads. But every time other people see me reading, they'd tell me that I was...

tobi_brown_eyes We also have a lot of libraries and book stores here in our country, but not so many people would rather die than be seen hanging out in the library or bookstore. But you are right, anyway. Those people who would rather be caught dead than be reading are those...

tobi_brown_eyes Yes, you are right. I may have been called a nerd for loving to read, but that's not my problem anymore. Thank you, you are such an assurance.

tobi_brown_eyes That is so true. I also feel that way when I read.

Do you think people lie on myLot?

tobi_brown_eyes @tobi_brown_eyes (30) • Philippines 2 May 08

I came across a discussion started by somebody who was purportedly abducted by aliens. He gave the details of his abduction and the things he learned from these aliens. I wanted to reply to his discussion but I'm not sure if...

tobi_brown_eyes That's really hard to do, you know, because every time we read something, we cannot avoid not thinking whether it's true or not. I actually responded to the discussion right after starting this one. I didn't accuse him of lying, but I asked for more...

tobi_brown_eyes If your son keeps up his "reading," I'll bet he will grow up to be a really wise young man.

tobi_brown_eyes Yes, that is so true. Thankfully, I don't just read books, I also have other things to do. Thank you for responding.

tobi_brown_eyes Wow, thanks. You're right. If those guys want to remain ignorant, that's up to them. And it's up to me if I want to become smarter. Thanks for your assurance. I'm actually reading a book right now, it's Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird. So far so good. I'm...

best thrift shop discovery

tobi_brown_eyes @tobi_brown_eyes (30) • Philippines 1 May 08

I love going to thrift shops. There are all sorts of great finds at really low prices. One time, when I was waiting for my boyfriend, I decided to go into one of the thrift shops near the area. I wasn't really planning to buy, I...

tobi_brown_eyes Wow, your thrift stores over there are much better than ours. Here in the Philippines, our thrift stores only sell clothes. Oh right, we have what we call 'tiangge" where they sell all kinds of stuff too. But most of the time, they are only stalls on the...

tobi_brown_eyes That is so true. Lately, I've been going to thrift stores for things I need. Doesn't hurt you in any way at all, plus you get all the things you need - and like - at very low prices. Honestly, I can't stand people who brag about expensive things they buy at...
