GraySpirit I just moved to the Philippines. And everywhere has been a great tourist spot for a permanent vacation for me. Even Manila was pretty cool for me. Now it's Cebu City. I am enjoying it all.

GraySpirit Hi Scheng, I have tried some of those types of traffic exchanges. But they are very boring because all they show you is a one page ad. If you click the ad (the splash page) then you get taken to the real site. I find those types of traffic exchanges to have...

GraySpirit I've been guilty of this as well. Usually, it occurs on my blog when I've been writing an article for some bit of time and just can't see my errors. I'm trying to get into the habit of going back and editing my articles after a period of...

GraySpirit I've been a horror fan for a long time so have grown a bit jaded with regard to vampire movies. It takes a new twist for me to really enjoy a good vampire movie these days. Now, the first Blade was great and presented the vampire in the movie in a different...

How to live happily without wealth??

mermaidivy @mermaidivy (15394) • United States 18 Jun 09

Who can tell me how to do it? Do you enjoy your life? Do you just enjoy it for the sake or what else?

GraySpirit To me wealth is what you have accumulated and saved beyond your basic living expenses. With that definition, I really don't need wealth, because I have enough to live on and am creative enough to still have fun in life. If all my wealth was gone and I...

When a lady asks you out.

sarahruthbeth22 @sarahruthbeth22 (43143) • United States 20 Jun 09

Fellas, when a lady asks you out would you feel okay if she pays? I always thought if I asked a guy out , I should be the one to pay for the dinner or the movie.What do you think?

GraySpirit If a woman asks me to lunch, she buys. I don't really have a problem with that. If I take her out to lunch, I'll buy. If we both decide to go to lunch together, we split it down the middle. It's my caveman upbringing, from back when women were the major...

GraySpirit Well, with your English background, there are probably a number of good career choices if you plan to return to China. Teaching English is very in demand. I almost joined the Peace Corps for a China assignment. And all the Peace Corps volunteers teach English...

GraySpirit I really used to love playing online games. I started off with Diablo and Starcraft and then became hooked on Lineage 2 which is probably more popular in Asia than in the USA. It was a great game with really great graphics, but I liked it because of all the...

dragon54u @dragon54u (31633) • United States 20 Jun 09

That sounds boring, doesn't it? But I noticed something really interesting and have been thinking about it for a few weeks. I love to watch old movies and in the 20's-40's I notice that everyone who isn't rich lives with their...

GraySpirit This is a good question. For many years, I paid an outrageous mortgage to own a piece of the American Dream. But you know, once I owned the dream, I realized that it wasn't what I really wanted in life. Now that I am retired, I'm finding it a lot easier for...

GraySpirit Not from Mylot because I'm not a regular. But the earnings from article writing and blogging cover my expenses and there is leftover. Mylot is fine, but it's a one shot deal to me. You comment and get a little in return. But for blogging and article...

GraySpirit Actually, I don't even think too much about adding friends. I guess mostly it is someone that I might have a dialog with when I answer their question or they answer mine. For me, online friends are not like real friends. I think online friends only means...

GraySpirit Funny, almost everyone I know from overseas wants to go to the USA. I'm from the US and I will be headed to Asia very soon. Although I really love China, it's a bit hard for me to get around because I don't speak Mandarin. I think you will find American...

Your daily exercise..

marababe @marababe (2503) • Philippines 19 Jun 09

GraySpirit I do stretching exercises every morning and evening. I used to jog when I was younger but it is too much work running for no good reason and not getting anywhere. In America, I think we are spoiled with an automobile life. Instead of walking to the market...

GraySpirit Here is what life has taught me. Women are unpredictable. If you follow a set of rules, you will not succeed. Learn who the girl or woman is. On the first day, adapt to create a happy relationship. A rule that works today will not work tomorrow. On the...

GraySpirit I've used some PTC sites, but I really get bored at the sites that just show one ad after the other. They don't last more than 1 day of clicking for me. There are some other sites that are mostly blogs, and I get to read a lot of interesting blogs. But to...
