popocan I think you should just let it go if your boy friend has feeling for his ex. Don't waste your time on a person who has feelings for others, not worth it at all! He is a bad guy, he told you you're not enough for him to forget his ex, what a childish excuse!...

Give it up or wait for another chance?

icyoghurt @icyoghurt (48) • China 8 May 08

I have been working in a company for almost one year. But I feel more and more distresed in recent days. I don't like this job and feel scared to get up in the morning. But if i quit it i have no idea what i can do. I would like...

popocan Don't quit until you find yourself a new job, the best way for you is to look for new job soonest possible whilst working. If you wanna be a teacher, just go ahead with it. You never know how far you can go if you don't try :)

popocan You're very brave, I don't think I'll risk any of those. I would rather phone up my family or friends for help as I always have a cell phone in my pocket. This is not a efficient way but it's better than asking strangers for help or else :)

ruthinian @ruthinian (2309) • United States 7 May 08

LightninStrike @LightninStrike (5915) • Saint Vincent And The Grenadines 7 May 08

I obviously feel hungry now and then as any other person, so when i feel like that i eat if it's possible. But there are times in which i feel compelled to eat something just because it looks so great that my brain knows it has to...

popocan It really depends, I would try to eat with my stomach because I don't wanna put on weight plus I don't wanna feel sick by eating too much if I have a meal or something before hand. It's better to listen to your stomach and I'm quite good at it :)

Do you drink water before breakfast?

LucyZhang @LucyZhang (313) • China 14 Apr 08

Hi friends! Drink a glass of water before breakfast is good for our health. Water is absorbed quickly and stimulates drainage and clease the system. Do you always drink a glass of water before breakfast?

popocan No, I don't I'm afraid cos I don't like the taste of water. I'm a tea and coffee drinker, I always make myself a cup of tea before going to work :)

headhunter525 @headhunter525 (3548) • India 6 May 08

popocan From my point of view, money is so important to me! It's very important for marriage as well as many other things in life. I always think that if couples don't have sufficient money to build a family, they then shouldn't get marry. I don't mean buying a house...

popocan Do you eat rice? It's easy to make and good value for money. One of my favourite is fried eggs and sausages with boiled rice. I also add a bit of soya sauce on top for extra flavouring. Hope you like it :)

popocan It's not easy to raise a child, I think you're just being sensible, nothing cheap at all. Those green products are not only designed for good but also for your "money", so don't worry too much just do whatever you think is right for your family :)

popocan I agree with you, your friend shouldn't stay friends with her ex, but love is blind. I guess your friend still has feeling for him. You've done you part as a friend, giving her the truthful advice. There's nothing you can do if she doesn't listen.
