Do you wake up early?

madonna143 @madonna143 (1737) • Philippines 26 Dec 06

Do you wake up early as usual even if you do not have work? Are you used to waking up early? Do you actually wake up early or do you go to sleep until lunch time?

emilieespino I am an early riser every since i could remember. It is better to be this way since you get to do a lot of things even before lunchtime. I have been trained since I was young to wake up early every morning.

Prenup,Prenuptual Agreement

madonna143 @madonna143 (1737) • Philippines 14 Dec 06

Would you sign it? Do you feel insulted by it? Did you know that there is now a thing called cohabitation agreement? I know I wouldn't sign it. Love should never be equated with money, that is if it's true love. Don't you...

emilieespino I really do think that this is an insulting peace of paper. You would feel insulted because this goes to show that the person you are marrying does not trust you, therefore the need to sign these papers prior to marriage. If you truly love someone and would...

Are you in any way affected by the GLOBAL ECONOMIC CRISIS?

madonna143 @madonna143 (1737) • Philippines 27 Aug 09

Are you in any way affected by the crisis? How do you handle it? Is your business or employment status affected by this?

emilieespino Most of us are truly affected by the global financial situation. It may take years before we can truly recover. Nevertheless, we should continue to work hard and earn money as much as we could. This is the only way to turn things around.

Forced Savings

madonna143 @madonna143 (1737) • Philippines 14 Dec 06

Have you ever heard of this? To force yourself in saving money. Do we really need to force ourselves in saving money especially for people who do not have any planned retirement? Where should I force my savings on? A bank?...

emilieespino A friend of mine once told me that while you are young, try your very best to save money. When you grow old, you may not be able to rely on other people to help you, especially in financial matters. This is very true. So the lesson is, whereever you want to...

emilieespino Hey, so is mine. He is now asleep after a whole night of being sick due to diarrhea. I made carrot and apple juice so he can regain energy, plus a rice porridge mixed with vegetable soup cube. We ran out of bananas so perhaps I will squeeze a grapefruit as...

Quit smoking a personal choice or a chemical imbalance.

IceMagi2 @IceMagi2 (102) • United States 31 Jan 08

Who out there would say that in order to quit smoking the individual has to make the choice to quit or take some weird drug to convince yourself that you don't want to smoke. You see all these commercials letting you know that...

emilieespino I was never a smoker but in my personal opinion, anybody who wants to quit on any bad habit should have the will power and focus to do it and realize by heart it's all for his/her own good. You would be doing it because you love and care for yourself, not...

2 responses

emilieespino Certainly you must know what things your wife likes (handbags, clothes, jewelry?). If you are not certain, ask the help of someone close to her (a sister or a close friend). Plus, a bouquet of beautiful flowers. That should make her day! Good luck!

Do you lose your old friends when you move or work in different places?

Andy Liu Zn @andyliuzn (1029) • Guangzhou, China 15 Sep 07

I think so, and I do have lost quite some good friends since I work in a different place from them. Though I believe that some friendship could last forever, still I do think that good friends should get in touch with each...

emilieespino I think it's a matter of choice and depends entirely on your relationship with your friends. With the new technology, there seems to be no reason not to be in touch with people. I exchange emails with faraway friends from a previous employer of more than 30...

Sticking to the recipe

maybebaby @maybebaby (1230) • Canada 15 Sep 07

When I cook I sometimes change things in the recipe. Sometimes its ingrediants and sometimes its the measurements of things. Usually it works out fine. Do you change things in recipes or do you stick to what's in the book?

emilieespino I do the same, like I suggested one or two ingredients if I don't have the ones listed. Or I compare two or three kinds of recipes and choose which one I think is better. Or else I try again with some variations till I get the best result.

What's your favorite ice cream flavor?

susieq223 @susieq223 (3742) • United States 10 Sep 07

I have this weakness for ice cream. I like just about any flavor. Well, in St. Augustine there is this store that features Spanish ice cream. Not gelato, but real ice cream. They have two covered counters of various flavors of ice...

emilieespino Looks delicious. I still need to taste Spanish ice cream. So far the best ice cream I have tasted is in New Zealand. Maybe it is because the milk that they use are really very fresh cow's milk straight from the farms. And they are quite cheap too, in big...

Burial or Cremation...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 11 Sep 07

Ok, this is not meant to be morbid or anything...just curiosity. When your time on Earth is through, what do you want done with your remains? Do you want to be put in a casket and buried? Cremated and buried? Cremated and...

emilieespino I think cremation is getting popular nowadays and it is more 'sanitary'. We have a family plot in a cemetery and it would be nice if most if not all of us brothers and sisters could agree on our ashes buried there with our parents.

How would you react when someone boasts of himself?

vijay1wdv @vijay1wdv (357) • India 9 Sep 07

I have had many experiences where my friends or relatives will keep on talking about themselves. I do not like such people and i did not find a way to stop the person. If he is a friend, i can try teasing him but what if he is a...

emilieespino Sometimes I do meet people like that. Though I have a lot of patience and try my best to listen, I would find a way of excusing myself nicely. We cannot change people, you know. I believe we just have to accept them as they are.

Where Do You Pray??

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 7 Sep 07

I've always believed that God can hear me no matter where I am...in the shower, lying in bed at night or anywhere. I believe He is with me all the time and therefore can hear me anytime I want to talk or pray to Him. I don't think...

emilieespino I do believe too that God is everywhere and praying with all your heart is the best prayer of all. When I was working, a church is on my way home and I would always stop by to pray. It is very conducive to praying especially when there are not too many people...

Coffee anyone?

heartsick @heartsick (832) • Philippines 8 Sep 07

At first i never appreciate coffee that much, since my parents don't want me to drink it. But when i get drunk my friends gave me a cup of coffee and its good. But I prefer coffee which my mom always prepared than spending...

emilieespino I love to drink coffee, but I have to refrain from drinking starting in late afternoon because it affects my sleep. I put milk and just a bit sugar, but if it's brewed coffee, I like it plain black without anything. You're right. We don't have to spend so much...

emilieespino Although I know we should be drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily, I can't seem to follow it regularly, especially when I am out of the house. My usual intake is about 4-5 glasses. Thank you for the reminder. I will try my best to do better from now on...

emilieespino We might have a similar case. Before I underwent microsurgery two years ago, I have been having leg pains. I could not stand too long or sit too long. Long before the leg pains I have had back pains which I ignored. I have a high tolerance to pain and so...

emilieespino It's really nobody's business what and how much you eat. I would be angry too! But it's not worth moping over so cheer up and enjoy your muffin. I enjoy my oatmeal with raisins and lots of milk. Try it!
