why do I have to study if I can actually earn online?

zaga_cleuth @zaga_cleuth (1407) • Philippines 16 Dec 10

Sometimes I have this feeling of "What if I'll spend my time blogging internet for me to earn money than attending my school?" But since I'm a consistent honor student and a scholar it feels like a total waste if I'll do that.....

ann_martel no. I'd rather be educated and non-techie (because I know I can always start learning) than to be ignorant about many things and know only the blog and internet.

ann_martel I studied in a private school and the teachers had been given that memo when I was in high school. I'm now a graduate student, and looking back, I think it's great that educators are mindful of children's other needs. Kids should be given a break, like in the...

ann_martel I love tinolang manok especially when there's a lot of dahon ng sili (chili leaves) and sayote (chayote), and it's raining outside! My grandma makes awesome tinolang manok. The recipe is a hit-and-miss with me, but when I do it right it's very satisfying!
