mayharaya No, not really. I appreciate those natural heritages and the science and technology behind such preservation of bodies but I don't think I would want to do it. Maybe because I'm not that attached to material things more than those things which cannot be...

mayharaya I'm definitely one of those people who do simultaneously, I read the manual and zoom in straight to the product, applying whatever I've read. It's more fun that way! But I think you really should pay attention to the manual before proceeding with anything...

mayharaya Earlier I responded to a thread about existentialism and I said that man is primarily a social being. Still, we cannot disregard biological facts. My medical student friend told me that some genes are really responsible for a person's attitude. This is...

mayharaya I don't plan on changing cellphones, it's just that I get to do so yearly, sometimes twice even, because of my carelessness. Sometimes I loose my phone or it gets broken. It seems like new models of cellphones comes out in the market monthly nowadays so unless...

mayharaya When my grandma with whom I was very close to passed away, it took me a while to absorb the reality that I would never be with her. Until now, 4 years later, I have dreams wherein she is alive and I'd wake up thinking that she's still is and make plans to see...

mayharaya The best way to learn and master a foreign language is through constant practice, for example having frequent conversations using that particular language. If a partner is not available to you all the time, reading a lot of English books and other materials is...

Revenge Is Sweet, But Would You Take It?

Brian @wolfie34 (26771) • United Kingdom 11 Mar 07

If you were bullied by someone, for example a teacher at school who humiliated you in front of the class, made your life a misery and was a nasty piece of work. Years later you saw the same horrible teacher parking up in a...

mayharaya I'm one of those persons who believe that anger is a bended sword. The more angry one is, the more he becomes frustrated about himself. So I think that whatever grudge you might have to a certain person who has offended you in the past, let it go, be the...

mayharaya I do, a lot of times. Especially whenever I'm down. A really good music can take my mind off things and I'd just zone out. A good music can also make my day. I think that music has therapeutic effects. I listen to a lot of U2 songs whenever I need the music...

mayharaya I believe in pro-choice, every decision should be done with ample reason. But as a person, if ever I will have a similar experience I don't think I will commit abortion. This is not really because of religious reasons. I think that if a couple doesn't decide...

Bee1955 @Bee1955 (3882) • United States 8 Mar 07

mayharaya I also think that animals in general can sense feelings. Talking to your pet, in this case your cat, is actually relaxing I think. They're sweet and attached to their owners once they become more acquainted. I would love to have my own pet cat. I also heard...

mayharaya Yes, it is wrong. Children has rights, and their parents should be the one to protect them primarily. A child can never cause a marriage break-up, and the mother has no business telling this kid off. She may be feeling stressed and all, but still, that's not...

mayharaya I am not a very superstitious person simply because I seek for an explanation to everything. Although sometimes it's just fun to look at horoscopes. Actually, some of the statements there are coincidental with my everyday affairs. So, I suppose if you're not...
