xtinelee I usually just put it all in the bank. My pay goes into my bank as well, so it's easier for me to do withdrawal. I remember there was a time when I was really broke, that I tried to scrimp to eat one meal a day to make sure that I had some money in my account,...

Putting Things Into Words

sukumar794 @sukumar794 (5040) • Thiruvananthapuram, India 2 Jul 12

A saying goes thus 'Everyone has a book in him'. But astonishingly enough only a comparatively few people ever write a book.Why? Is it a lack of ability? Is it concerned with the choice of words? Does time forbid from engaging in...

word mastery

xtinelee I think it is a lack of ideas to actually compile it into a book, and the style of writing perhaps? I prefer reading a book, than write a book.. and look at what others have to offer with their ideas.

xtinelee I doubt anything like this is true. Best is to switch off your computer, and save the money for other things you can see and touch! Save electricity! Isn't 2012 the year for the death of Earth?

To be able to send children to school, parents have to fork out a lot of money

Yanzalong @yanzalong (18987) • Indonesia 1 Jul 12

It seem to me education has become one of busineess areas. Schools have demanded a lot of money. What if parents have no money? They cannot send their children to school. In our country, it is clearly stated that education is the...

xtinelee Nope, I've never been there, but did hear of some stories about it. I think the rich poor gap must be quite big as well, because there are some Filipinos who are quite rich, but not living there in the long run.

xtinelee I would think that one person's ideal of a good photo is different from another, and a lot of it depends on what is on the photo. I think it's best to take photos are that of people, and in an authentic situation, rather than a posed one.

xtinelee Well, I guess in traditional Asian families, most parents worry whether their children are going to get married or not. I guess it's just part of their ageing process? They don't want you to feel alone, and of course, they want a grandchild to play with.
