When A Friendship is Over

dolce_vita78 @dolce_vita78 (8062) • Philippines 22 Apr 08

Most friendships die a natural death: people move, change jobs, accept new responsibilities, or embark on different stages of life. Other friendships, however, end prematurely and abruptly. When a friendship is over and you don't...

chocolate_monette I will sing or hum whenever I am studying. Not the words that I will memorize but the lyrics of any song that I like to sing at that time. I don't know why but it helps me. I do not raise my voice too because for me, it will just pass. Will stay in the brain...

chocolate_monette It was my grandmother who gave me a name. So that means, it is an old-fashioned name. Oh well, I learned to appreciate it. I was named also after a male saint. But they added some letters to make it a girl's name. Some would think that I was named after my...

chocolate_monette Long time ago, I was known to be Miss Frown. I seldom smile especially when I get so busy with work. When I concentrate working, I do not look at people, I tend to just ignore them. Then one of my co-employees said, I should smile even if I am not in for...

When people smile at you, what do you do?

dmillman @dmillman (2273) • United States 20 Apr 08

Sometimes when I'm out walking, people smile at me. Sometimes, I shy away and lower my head. Sometimes I smile back. It all depends on how I'm feeling at the time of the smile. So, what do you do when someone smiles at you, and...

chocolate_monette If you do not know the person who wants to hold your baby, Then say no or you can make excuses for not letting them hold your baby. But, if the person is in your house, there is no reason why you will let strangers in your house in the first place right? If...

Debt of Gratitude.

chocolate_monette @chocolate_monette (61) • United States 18 Apr 08

Can you pay your debt of gratitude with money? How do you pay your debt of gratitude? For me, when you are indebted to someone, you should not forget it. It cannot be paid with money. So all you have to do is keep the friendship...

debt of gratitude

1 response

chocolate_monette I totally agree. Any person who will just forget someone whom they are indebted, has just lost a treasure. Once you'll miss, you will find a hard time finding another. Those people do not come easy. So if you have the chance to keep them, then keep them.

Humor..

chocolate_monette @chocolate_monette (61) • United States 20 Apr 08

"Get 3 for the price of 3." I really find this line very funny. Of course, it will confuse you a little and then you will realize, it just tricks you. Isn't that funny? Oh well, check it out with Bart Simpson.

Men & women differences

chocolate_monette @chocolate_monette (61) • United States 18 Apr 08

Do you think men and women are different especially in the case of where they come from? I believe so. I may say, it is a cultural thing or maybe just how they were raised as a person. What do you think? I dated men of two...

difference

chocolate_monette I agree with you sis. And since nobody is perfect, whatever is lacking in a person, his/her partner supplements to make it whole. That is why we compliment each other. We exchange appreciation. That is also how love develops.

chocolate_monette Thanks. You're right. Mother-in-law said that it is alright at first and also said that I will just adapt in time. Lately, I am not so shy anymore with them. I tried to talk as much as I can but of course, I do not want to annoy them also.

It takes someone to forget someone.

chocolate_monette @chocolate_monette (61) • United States 19 Apr 08

Is it true that it takes someone to forget someone when it comes to relationship? I am not so sure about this one. For me, I guess it does. Bygones shall be bygones" I would say.
