Buying pre-owned books

iluvusabado @iluvusabado (2559) • Philippines 23 Jan 13

I love going to the Book Sale to buy second hand books. There are a lot of good books there if you will really look hard enough. A friend of mine bought a colored biology book there for only P150 (less than $4). It really is a...

MaylaJay I love pre-owned books. They have the nice feel of a nicely read book. I like to think that books are tools of adventure and someone else held that tool and went on an adventure. I know, seems childish. I have a childish way of thinking though. I like to think...

Do you have savings for your child/ren?

Dominique25 @Dominique25 (9460) • United States 23 Jan 13

Do you have a piggy bank for your kid/s? Or do you encourage them to save their change for something that they want. I'm going to get my daughter a little piggy bank and start putting change in it to buy her a toy kitchen set. I...

MaylaJay My daughter is only 5 months, but I have a little jar full of change. I'm hoping to get a hefty sum of money saved for her. I am saving outside of a bank though. I think that it is safer that way. I don't want to put my faith in other people. I trust myself...

I just don't understand why the environmental products are much more expensive

youless @youless (114117) • Guangzhou, China 23 Jan 13

I found that many environmental products are much more expensive than the common products. Although they work the same, but the environmental products claim that they will not make a lot of pollution and therefore its price will...

MaylaJay The products aren't actually that expensive to make. The only reason that it's expensive is that the companies making it can get away with it.

MaylaJay I love trying new food, but I like trying with someone so that I have someone else to compare the food with. I like to be able to say "Hey, what do you think of this?"

I wasn't able to use what I have reviewed last night

valorieesquilona @valorieesquilona (442) • Philippines 23 Jan 13

Too bad for those who reviewed for the exams because the questions aren't related to what they've reviewed and studied but, too good for those who did not review, just like me, because all you need in order to answer the questions...

MaylaJay I actually, do not study at all. I find that it's only good for making you nervous. If I know the stuff I know it; last minute studying isn't going to make me learn it.

I want to drink water from planet Mars

xocolatedrool @xocolatedrool (414) • India 22 Jan 13

NASA has found water in Mars and they are exploring possibilities to harvest water in moon. How wonderful it would be to go to a restaurant and order, hey I want a "bottle of Mars" or "a glass of Moon please" *dream*...

MaylaJay The whole "water on mars" thing started because of someone interrupted a word incorrectly. The first person to see Mars up close from a telescope saw these trenches on the surface and reported it. However, when the report was translated the word for "trenches"...

"I french kissed my friend and I love it!"

valorieesquilona @valorieesquilona (442) • Philippines 22 Jan 13

It was a really funny story from a friend of mine and I can't forget it. So, she kissed her close friend because they are bored. It was not just a simple or torrid kiss, mind you, but a french kiss! I thought friends could not do...

MaylaJay No. This is not alright. One or the other of them is going to end up thinking that there is something between them, when in fact there is nothing. One of them will end up hurt. This is not alright. This is how friendships are destroyed.

Already planning the garden, 4 months before I can plant.

kris182_2000 @kris182_2000 (5475) • Canada 21 Jan 13

But this is something that takes a lot of planning anyways in order for it to work well this year. Last year was pretty good, but since I hadn't planned well, I didn't have the best garden. This year I'm already planning on...

MaylaJay Sounds like you have it all planned out. That's what I want to do when I get a place that I can do a garden in. I want lilies. I heard they are hard to grow, but I love them.

MaylaJay I think you can be friends with her without getting into a relationship. Make sure you know the boundaries, that way, if it every comes down to it, you know what to say. If you're comfortable with being friends, then keep it that way. You're the one that has...

Seeking Forgiveness Is Wrong & Selfish

MaylaJay I think you're right. The victim still needs to feel like the deed has been righted. However, if the person is sincere then their part is done. They just need to back off and wait for the person to decide that all is well.

Jump into Conclusion = Jealousy over Petty Things

Shavkat @Shavkat (141905) • Philippines 21 Jan 13

It is a natural to get jealous, but not to the extent of overdoing it. For some people, a simple concern turns into a big deal. If your partner does not say anything about your concern, you will feel so frustrated. In some point,...

MaylaJay I usually don't jump to conclusions. I tend to be more calm and reasonable. However, I dislike when someone will not communicate with me. I don't like when someone just says "Don't worry about it." or "Just drop it." or "It's not important." Because I wouldn't...

MaylaJay Some countries say that she is still responsible for her kids. If she was in America and had more choices, I'd say she could dump her kids as obviously they have dumped her. In some countries, she just wouldn't have the options to do this.

MaylaJay We don't do anything for Valentine's day. I actually wish I had someone to do something for. I really like Valentine's Day. I used to get into it, when I went to school, but now I don't because there is no one to get into it for.
