My week thus far, has been a mixture of 'the good and the bad.' While rejoicing in my 'pleasant surprises,' an incident took place between my daughter, and one of her 'dearest friends.' My daughter is sixteen, and has been in...

irajohann I agree with you that trust is really a big issue on friendship. Once broken, it is less likely to be repaired. It happened to me as well and now, we just communicate once in a while but the thought of sharing my life again with them is still a dilemma for...

I like the song "Umbrella" by Rihanna because it epitomizes a true friend. Like they say "Friendship is never anything but sharing". How about you? What do you like about the song?

irajohann I stumbled into this song because a friend posted it in her multiply account. During that time I was having problems with a friend and I think this helped me a lot in evaluating my situation with them. I love this song because it talks about the special bond...

My mom has diabetes. I don't know how hard this disease will affect her so I would like to know more about diabetes as much as possible. She started getting her insulin shots last Saturday and she's already in her 60's. In order...

diabetics club

irajohann I know that there exists a diabetic club here in our country. I can do online research on this but I feel that most of it are hearsay until I can find someone who can validate the information.

I started reading a graphic novel called "The Sandman". I started with volume 6: Fables and Reflections. The graphics are really great and the story of Neil Gaiman is really creative/imaginative. I haven't seen a copy of the first...

irajohann Actually, "The Sandman" consists of about 10 volumes but I am trying to secure the first 3 volumes. I'll lend you volume 6 as it is a "stand-alone" novel from the series.

irajohann Hehehe... I like the song and a lot of people can relate with the song. I am trying to find Mandy Moore's version of the song. I have the version of Scott Simons. His version is eccentric.

I always thought my friends are my chosen family. They are as important to me as my own family. I treat them as if they are my brothers and sisters. Like that of my family, I draw my strength and inspiration from them. How about...

irajohann Actually, when I say chosen family, its not that I chose them over my family. Its more like I chose them to be part of my family. Its like that I wasn't able to choose my mom or my dad or my siblings but with my friends, I chose them to be part of my life,...

My mom started her insulin shots yesterday and the way she explained it, she said that its a lifetime treatment since the medicine that she has been taking since 2004 doesn't do her good anymore. Her doctor has advised her to cut...

irajohann Does insulin have the same effects on people, regardless of age? My mom's in her 60's and according to her, she feels well if it wasn't for the numbness on her left foot. Her doctor told her that her blood sugar is quite high and she insisted that they conduct...

irajohann Her doctor told her that the medicine that she was taking has not helped her lower her blood sugar level so her doctor decided to change it to insulin injections. I think she's taking insulin 25 in the morning and insulin 15 in the evening. I just don't know...

If a friend stopped talking to you for some reason that you are not aware of, and after three years of not talking, she started sending you text messages (SMS), what will you do? We've been friends for more than four years and for...

irajohann I've made assumptions as early as the time I've heard about her problems with me. It didn't do me any good and I think I am way past that phase. What matters to me right now is to know what her reasons were.

irajohann I honestly appreciate your response and everything you said made sense. I really want to know why she ditched me because I know that I deserve an explanation. At the end of the day, she and I will have to decide if we can go on as friends or just be mere...

irajohann Hahaha! In fairness, my "friend" did not sms me to borrow money or anything but I like you're view of the whole situation. There are a lot of maybe's at this point and only she can set everything straight. Hopefully at the end, we can still consider each other...

irajohann Yes, after three years, she thought of me out of the blue and thought we can just pick up where we left off. ;) Now, it just made me doubt her sincerity. I appreciate your view though.

irajohann Yeah, you're right. It will always bug me not to understand what happened before and I know that talking to her will always be uncomfortable until we discuss it. But if I talk to her, will it still matter? I can't assume that after our talk, we will still be...

irajohann Hi brooke. As far as I know, she did not undergo any "life changing experience" while she was giving me the silent treatment. We had common friends and they said that there were series of events that happened between us and she was offended by my actions....
