galatea @galatea (686) • Philippines 14 Jun 07

I've read this somewhere and I thought I'd share some of it about how to tell if a guy's a rat, a bad catch, or a future heartbreaker. Sometimes we need to be reminded of these things because we tend to forget and to make excuses...

How Do You Meet Deadlines?

galatea @galatea (686) • Philippines 10 Apr 07

I must admit I am not very good at meeting deadlines. I procrastinate. And for a writer that's not very good. I've been 'working on' my thesis for about a year now and I'm getting exasperated with myself and the way I always go...

galatea @galatea (686) • Philippines 24 Mar 07
