Will you be paid more to work during official holidays?

youless @youless (112100) • Guangzhou, China 27 Dec 16

Here if you work during the official holidays, then you will get paid three times than your income. It sounds good but actually the money will not be that much. As usually the official holidays just last for several days only....

bluemoonpavilion We are paid double if we have to work on public holidays. This is mostly for companies serving international markets but I think most, if not all the companies would get give employees off for Christmas. It seems to be the only holiday which is celebrated...

Even female cops are corrupt

LK2018 @Letranknight2015 (51490) • Philippines 14 Dec 16

It's not surprising that cops in this country are no stranger to corruption, sometimes you don't even need to watch the news. We have experience extortion and bribe in the last few years. But years back, I didn't experience...

bluemoonpavilion Morals generally getting lower all around. It's sad that they turned on their badges because police officers are there to protect civilians, not harm them.

Comedy or Drama?

Curlann @annierose (18926) • Philippines 14 Dec 16

Many people say that if a person can cry easily, then that person can apply for a dramatic movie. I am one of those persons who can cry easily. In fact, I was able to be accepted by a stage play when I was in high school because...

bluemoonpavilion Being a comedian is definitely much harder. I cry a lot with sad and touching movies but rarely in real life as I'm not the drama queen type. I love making people laugh and would sometimes crack my brain to see what I can come up with.

Laughter is the best medicine.

dpk262006 @dpk262006 (58675) • Delhi, India 14 Dec 16

bluemoonpavilion Definitely laugh out loud! I love jokes and humour and can be amusing too if I choose to. But if I hear a joke made in bad taste, I will just smile politely and hope that person gets the hint.

bluemoonpavilion Lots of Christmas promotions are oversell actually, and the stores might take this opportunity to clear old stock. I don't think there is a right or wrong but as consumers, just be smart and don't fall into the trap of buying too much or unwanted stuff.

I don't understand what you're saying.

AmberLynn @ScribbledAdNauseum (104632) • United States 14 Dec 16

There are several reasons you might not understand what someone is saying. It could be that you didn't hear them. They could have been talking too low, or too fast. It could be that you are hard of hearing. It could be a...

bluemoonpavilion Well I know one person whom one day said I'm irritating because I always asked her to repeat herself. At that moment I was stunned and I didn't react fast enough. When I think back to that person, I should have told her, I don't have a hearing problem, it's...

Relatives are not always family

Vicki, #1 Creek Girl @1creekgirl (40396) • United States 5 Dec 16

I used to think that relatives and family were the same thing, but they're not. We can't help what set of people we were born into or who happens to share our DNA. As with most, there are a few we'd just as soon not be clumped in...

bluemoonpavilion The French are supposedly romantics and maybe that's why he is so eager! But I would think it's better to slow down and observe first. It would be good to establish a slow but firm and stable relationship rather than a whirlwind one which might be too...
