allyoftherain I'm an avid reader and a movie lover (but I soundly believe books are better than movies) an aspiring writer and a film student so I have a lot to say on the subject of book to film adaptations. Most of my favorite books I know will never make it to the...

Just an Ordinary Owl? The reason keyboard shortcuts were invented in the first place was because there was no such thing as a mouse. They have been retained up to this day because: 1) They are significantly faster, in most cases, than using a mouse, especially in Word...

jeanneyvonne Well, I guess it is safe to say that my cousins are not yet going to your description of children who cannot speak Filipino. Like many of the youth and young adults today, I am guilty of having more practice with a foreign language rather than my own. I guess...

much2say Well, I think the popular sites are the "coolest" - that's the reason why they are most popular - it'd be hard to have an undiscovered "cool" site these days. And "cool" is relative - what's cool to me may not be cool to the next person. There are some cool...

la_chique Well I think they will do some cartoons, but animated movies have really taken off and they do so well in the cinema, I think that is why film companies have strayed away from cartoons. People seem to want to see the cleverest new techniques and special...

"You can't please everyone." What a cliche. But the real meaning of this adage sinked in to me recently. Sometimes, being as pleasant as possible doesn't guarantee you a good place in a group because there always is a chance...

beamer88 I guess it depends on how I look in the video. If I feel I look great in the video, then I wouldn't be uncomfortable watching it. I'll even proud to show it to my friends. On the other hand, if I look terrible in it, then seeing myself would not only be...
