LOYALTY TO YOUR FRIEND OR COUNTRY?

SHE WRITES: Two weeks ago, my husband and I watched The Unit on DVD. If you’re familiar with The Unit, these group of men and their wives are loyal to their country and they answer to the President directly. The last episode we saw had an interesting question that kept me wondering: If you were to choose between loyalty to your friend and your country, which will you choose? You can’t choose both because your life long friend is suspected to be doing an illegal thing which is subject to lifetime imprisonment. Or your best friend who happens to be a politician, squanders the public’s money for his personal gains…I treasure friendships so much but I am also for standing for what’s right… I will try my best to convince my friend to turn away from his illegal activities, but if he won’t =( I don’t know if I will … Continue reading

DO YOU WANT TO GET RICH?

SHE WRITES: Ooops, this is not a scam. I’m not here to promote a get rich quick concept. I simply just want to know if you want to or not =D Most people would probably say yes, but I know someone who doesn’t want to. She actually came from a wealthy family but she blames her family’s wealth for the chaos in their household. Her brothers go their separate ways because each one has a car, her parents go their separate ways as well because they’re too busy doing their thing and she’s left all alone at home most of the time. This topic was raised in one of our discussions and she said that someday, when she has her own family, she wouldn’t want to get rich… Inspite this story, I want to get rich. I want to help my parents pay off their debt, I want all my … Continue reading

WHERE DO YOU PLACE YOUR COMPUTER?

SHE WRITES: My sister-in-law poshpost suggested this topic because I think her computer is situated in a weird location – dining area. hihi… But she said she likes it there because her room is really hot. She just likes it there =D As for me, my computer is in my bedroom. I have a desktop with a 19″ monitor so there are times my husband and I watch movies in the comforts of our room. There are nights we download stuff from the net and we leave it running overnight. But sometimes in the middle of the night, my husband wakes up to check if the downloading’s done. If it is, he turns the computer off and goes back to sleep – that way we don’t waste electricity. =D How about you? Where do you place your computer? A. BedroomB. Study roomC. others (pls. specify) YOU WRITE: A. Bedroom B. … Continue reading

DO YOU HAVE TOPICS YOU WANT US TO DISCUSS?

SHE WRITES: Today, my blog is 7 days old and I just want to take this time to say THANK YOU to all of you for the warm welcome you’ve given me. As a new blogger, it is so encouraging to read your thoughts and see you following my blog. You bet I’ve learned a lot and not a day passed that I haven’t shared your responses with my husband =D Unfortunately he didn’t agree that my son’s brain is like mine, hihi. I also learned that in the Philippines, we use the term “let’s take a bath” but for most of you, you say shower – so I guess this brought confusion to some – sorry for that. I was also able to help a friend start his own blog and he’s very happy with blogging too. This past week was truly wonderful and I hope I can gain … Continue reading

DOES THE FIRST BORN LOOK LIKE MOM OR DAD?

SHE WRITES: I’ve read once in an article that most first borns have the looks of their father, but the brain of their mothers…hmm… But I don’t know if this is true or false. I’m not really sure if our eldest brother looks like our mom or dad. My son (Elisha Joey) looks more like his dad as what most people say. As to the brain, my son is very smart so I can accept that his brain is more like mine (just don’t tell his dad ok? hihi). My brother in law looks more like my mother in law’s dad. My sister in law looks like her dad. This leaves me wondering if first borns around the globe look more like mom or dad. =) How about in your family? Does the first born look like mom or dad? Wheter single or married, I believe there’s a first born … Continue reading

R U FOR CONVENIENCE OR PRACTICALITY?

SHE WRITES: There are 2 kinds of train going to Shanghai from our place, the fast train and the regular train. The regular train takes an hour, people inside are smoking, very crowded but costs only 13RMB (about US$2). The fast train however takes 45 minutes, people are not smoking, not so crowded as each one has a reserved seat but cost 35RMB (approximately US$5). My husband prefers the regular train because the time difference is not that big and he’s more concerned of the cost. So that qualifies him for the practicality side. On the other hand, my friend Cathy prefers the fast train because it’s more convenient – she can sit well and it’s really clean. There was even a time that she paid for our ticket just so we all ride the fast train and not the regular train. I’m more of an in-between person. Sometimes I’m … Continue reading

ARE YOU A NIGHT OR A DAY PERSON?

SHE WRITES: My mother-in-law used to tell me that instead of staying up late at night and waking up late the next day, I should sleep early and wake up early. Staying up late at night (or until early morning) isn’t a problem for me but waking up early is a real struggle, especially if it’s cold or raining! I also like working at night because I think it’s more peaceful so I can focus on what I’m doing more. Although I’ve read that it’s healthy to sleep early or at least before 11pm, it’s still something I have to force myself to do. Even if I can function well during the day, I still believe I am a night person because of the reasons i stated =D. How about you? Are you a night or day person?A. nightB. dayC. others (pls. specify) YOU WRITE: (please read comments portion for … Continue reading

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TAKE A BATH?

SHE WRITES: When I was in the Philippines, I took a bath anytime I wanted or needed one. It didn’t matter if the sun was up or down. All that mattered was if I think I needed one, I’ll just go ahead and take a bath. When I was pregnant, I even took a bath 3 times a day in the summer! When I came to China last year, I learned that most (if not all) Chinese takes a bath at night. When they wake up the next morning, they just brush their teeth, wash their face and rush through the day. Most Filipinos however take a bath in the morning but before we retire at night, we have half baths (washing the body but not the hair). This difference raised an argument between my husband and his co-worker… Our Chinese friends think bath time at night is BEST so … Continue reading
