jsmalong Without a doubt, I would be a veterinarian because I care about animals especially pets and work animals. I respect their right to life and to live as comfortably as possible with the help of a vet.

WHy STI has so many scholars?

stanley777 @stanley777 (9401) • Philippines 21 Jan 12

Systems Technology Institute College..I always see them giving out scholarships to poor people in Wish Ko Lang and other benefit shows- how do they get their school running if most of their students are scholars? I am...

jsmalong I am not sure but I think this is a promotional stunt or advert to entice more enrollees, and the other reason is maybe tax deductible or tax free. On the other hand, I also have a feeling that STI nowadays, has "declined" in terms of the strength in their...

jsmalong Although I have not seen it, I believe the ad is telling diabetics not to consume too much sugar. A drinking soda is laden with sugar. Although a diabetic person can take a drinking soda or the like when suffering from extreme low blood sugar. One of the...

jsmalong P50,000.00 is worth a fortune to me and to working class couples. Since your friend is jobless, I am clueless as to how and when she will pay you back. I would rather advise you not to lend her the money because most likely than not, you will end up being...

jsmalong Even if her book will be given to me free, I will be adamant in declining it. What she did and did not do during her presidency is public knowledge. I am sure her book will be another dose of lies and more lies. Give me a break. I have better things to do.

Impeachment Trial of Chief Justice Corona

TheAdvocate @TheAdvocate (2392) • Philippines 3 Jan 12

Have you been following the news on the impeachment of Justice Corona? Do you think he should be found guilty by the impeachment court? Let's have a spirited debate on this issue.

jsmalong He should have not been CJ Corona at all if only he had the integrity and the sensitivity to public perception (delicadeza), by not acceding to his appointment by the former PGMA. Then this issue on impeachment is nonexistent.

jsmalong When my father died, friends came not only to offer their condolences but took voluntary effort in doing the daily household chores for a few days. A grieving family wants some space to grieve personally and alone - a transition from losing a loved one to...

aaronfyzeon @aaronfyzeon (1919) • Philippines 8 Jan 12

I woke up late in the morning! Around 11:00am. It is not because I slept late at night or being tired the other day. It's just that I feel very lazy to do things around the house and for myself. I haven't even drink coffee which...

jsmalong Occasional, rather than habitual laziness is just fine and it happens to everyone. We do not wake up every morning feeling 100% okay all the time. Maybe you were just physically exhausted from work or there's just too much clutter in your head (worries, fears,...
