emilieespino @emilieespino (963) • Philippines 31 May 07

My dreams as a young girl was to be a nurse. I was not able to fulfill that dream because my parents could not afford to send me to a nursing school. So I had to think of a one-year course which could help me find work easily. How...

emilieespino @emilieespino (963) • Philippines 21 May 07

Animal Lovers

emilieespino @emilieespino (963) • Philippines 10 May 07

What do you think of people who love their pets too much? I love animals too, but I am amazed at how some people could be so crazy about their dogs or their horses that they seem to love them more than people or themselves. I...

Do you believe in the saying 'You always hurt the one you love'?

emilieespino @emilieespino (963) • Philippines 18 Apr 07

In my case I think it's because in the first place, the other person would not be hurt if he/she did not love you as well.

Anger

emilieespino @emilieespino (963) • Philippines 2 Mar 07

What could cause you to be angry right away? In my case I am not easy to anger. You will really have to hurt me a lot to trigger it. It's not really good as people tend to abuse me, knowing my patience and forgiving nature.
