hlfbldmom @hlfbldmom (743) • Philippines 20 Nov 12

eltobh Well, I do agree with you. Strict parenting does not always lead to better kids. Sometimes it will make the kids even be a under-pressured kids, or even scared of their parents. Discipline will of course be needed, however, those kids should be allowed to grow...

Do you wear pants even in hot weather?

SomeCowgirl @SomeCowgirl (32191) • United States 2 Jul 12

Growing up, I would wear jeans even if it was hot outside. I didn't like to wear shorts or anything like that. Mostly it was because I didn't want to shave, or this was before I was "allowed to shave." I will wear a skirt or...

When did you like Maroon 5 more?

Broadway101 @Broadway101 (9) • United States 11 Jul 12

Maroon 5 is a rather popular band. Some people that listened to them long back prefer their older music than the modern songs. Which do you prefer? Their old songs, or their most recent recordings?

6 responses

eltobh I prefer their earlier songs, to be honest. Not that I don't like their recent one, but the old ones sounded more rock and more exclusive to me :)). They are coming to my country in October for a two-day concert, so I cannot wait. The first time they were here...
