I switched to a Windows Phone a couple of weeks ago and I feel that I haven't explored its full potentials yet. I was only able to synchronized my contacts list to their Facebook and Twitter accounts so it's easier to keep track...

writermom8 Thanks for the useful tips! I would have to try that voice support feature. It would be cool to hear incoming messages read aloud to me :)

My siblings and I are very close since we were kids. Now that we all have our own spouses and children and live far away from each other, we still make sure to spend Christmas Day together as a whole clan, including our mom. It's...

writermom8 I have a LOT of saved messages on my mobile phones! They are so many that my phones would often flash a "95% or 100% full" reminder so I'd have to delete several at one go to be able to send a new message. But before I do erase something, I have this small...

writermom8 With all due respect, the word "cheap" may come off as insulting. I believe it would be more respectful to use the word "practical". But you are right, they become successful because they live the way they do. I have a lot of Filipino-Chinese friends who...

writermom8 I asked that question just last week while watching a documentary on street dwellers here in the Philippines. Why are those families unable to crawl out of poverty? Why can't they find enough opportunities to make their lives better? How come little children...

writermom8 You are not alone. I encounter people like that regularly. Despite my busy schedule, I try to accommodate requests for help as much as I can. But it's really disappointing when after I squeezed in time just to do someone a favor, I would never hear any word of...

writermom8 If you're adventurous enough to try out ebooks, then you should give audio books a chance too. Who knows, you might enjoy them also as I some of us here do :)
