tong_jd Yes, and I enjoy it. For some reasons, I find peace inside a bookstore, in the company of books. While e-books are convenient, it is nothing compared to the joys when reading a real book.

tong_jd Not exactly important but I guess it's good to have something to read that will make you forget/escape from reality once in a while. Also, fiction helps improve our imagination.

tong_jd Life a life that is free from negativity and hatred. It's actually a herculean task but it's not impossible. Also, spend as much time as possible with your loved ones, tell them you love them. You never know when you're going to lose them or them, lose you.

tong_jd Get yourself a pint of ice cream or a bar of chocolate or both. That should perk you up, for a short time, that is. Or if that doesn't work for you, try to sleep.

Dream, but don’t live in them.

arlerambabu @arlerambabu (1079) • India 30 Aug 11

Dreams are the Road maps to negotiate with the hostile terrains of life. To bring the dreams to fruition, take action. Dreams are meant for realization. Not to be kept in the deep freeze. Yes, beware of procrastination and start...

tong_jd True. A dream will just be a dream unless you act on it. If you want an apple, go pick it from the apple tree instead of waiting for it to fall on the ground.

Your Facebook shout outs reveals a lot about you!

Muzicmaster7 @Muzicmaster7 (45) • Philippines 29 Aug 11

Oftentimes, we are not even conscious about it, but I do believe our shout outs in Facebook, given on a consistent basis, tells a lot of our character, of who we really are and what we are made of. I gave it a benefit of the...

tong_jd What one writes on his/her FB shout-out pretty much reflects the kind of person he/she is. Personally I don't get annoyed with what people post in their walls, after all it's theirs. What I just don't like reading is when people show off. You know, they're in...

Would you accept a former suitor on facebook?

eileenleyva @eileenleyva (27560) • Philippines 29 Aug 11

I live by the code that what was in the past stays in the past. But with facebook, old suitors had even become online friends. Would you accept a former suitor on facebook?

tong_jd Why not? Just because they want to be friends with you in Facebook doesn't mean they want something else more than that. Perhaps, they just want to catch up with you after all, you were friends in real life, or at the very least know each other personally. But...

nicregi @nicregi (1934) • Malaysia 29 Aug 11

Hi guys! I am just wondering...is there any sites where we can check article plagiarism for real and free? Anyone mind to share with me if they have or using one? Thanks!

tong_jd Copyscape.com. Plagiarism is a crime against writers and it must not be practiced. Good thing, there are sites that offer determine whether an article is original or just simply plagiarized.

Doctor Doctor

missybear @missybear (11391) • United States 28 Aug 11

I'm watching this show about doctors and most of them are really young like in their twenties or early thirties. That made me think....do you prefer a young doctor or an older one? Some people might think that older ones know...

tong_jd I prefer the older ones (though not the ones who are too old. LOL!) for the reason that I think they know better for the reason that the threadstarter mentioned that they've been around longer. Though it is not really a gauge whether they are really good or...

braveheart07 @braveheart07 (2601) • Philippines 28 Aug 11

tong_jd I always believe that no one completely moves on from a failed relationship unless he finds another one. Ergo, for your friend to be able to forget his long-time boyfriend and finally move on, she has to be in another relationship. Though it is not really...

Career VS Love-life

love2click @love2click (366) • Philippines 28 Aug 11

Hi to everyone! Have you ever come in a situation wherein your career is good and your love-life is not or vice versa ? In my own experience it always happen to me. How about you?

lovelife vs career

tong_jd Lucky are those who have both. Most of the time, one of the two has to take the backseat for the other one to prosper. I always believe that love can wait. So if ever it interferes with my career, I will have to let it go.
