Opening up to strangers

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 31 May 08

Velina Of course we are--in different levels and different subjects. We are constantly emerging from our history. Look what Hollywood did to saturate the TV viewers with images they created. June Cleaver with her perfect hair and pearl necklace, old men vs. women...

Velina Yes, let them wire money home. Call it tough love. Make this country stand up and work its own. Want a job? Move, come to CA, AZ or any less agricultural area in the U.S. You'll have more more job offers than you know what to do with. Pick watermelons, work...

Velina It's your life, you know pretty much what's ahead. It's what you are comfortable with. I wanted out of high school so bad I knew that any subject I was weak in I could pick up at a junior college. School is always something you can go back to at any age but it...

Velina I don' expect anything from other people. I am so surprised when something from someone is extended that I try to appreciate it as a special gift. Especially when someone extends their time. What a special gift that is. Your personal time is irreplaceable,...
