Katie Vasquez What kind of animals are there where your son lives? Here in our place in Las Piñas, Philippines, bats are eating my husband's plants. I wonder why on earth there are bats in the city, and I wonder if they don't have taste buds because they have no problem...

Katie Vasquez I have very fond memories of teachers who coached and accompanied me in inter-school competitions. I'm sure these students are also very fond of their teacher, your son. Certainly, you are delighted and proud to have raised a wonderful young man who is a...

Katie Vasquez For a few years I was with an aunt who bought tabloids every day, so it was the only kind of reading material available. Prior to that period, I remember my family having a subscription to a rather popular and somewhat respectable national broadsheet. In both...

I love black and white photography. The mood a photo takes dependent on the range of just two tones of colors has always intrigued me. Especially when it comes to people. It can create moods of sadness, pain, joy,...

Katie Vasquez The photo you took of Squidward makes me think of my youth that is long gone. I have no particular affinity for the show as I was already in my teens when it aired, but I often saw it in passing, frequent enough to know the names of many characters. This photo...

Do you shop online? Which are your favourite e-shopping sites?

amirev777 @amirev777 (4117) • India 21 Aug 18

I prefer walking to the neighbourhood shopping centre to do most of my shopping and seldom do shopping online. But it's not that I am totally averse to shopping online. What about you? Which are your favourite e-shopping sites?

Katie Vasquez Hardly ever, but that is also because I rarely go shopping. Now, online shopping sites don't interest me at all. When I was young, I liked browsing stuff on eBay as well as shopping sites on the now-defunct platform Multiply, but now at the age of 33 I am more...

Board Game Cafe

YoghurtGal @flapiz (23264) • United Kingdom 20 Sep 18

When I was traveling in Bangkok I came across a board game cafe. It’s a coffee shop that allows you to play board games and have food at the same time. The good thing for the owner is the customers pay for the time played, as well...

Katie Vasquez Never. One time it was my birthday, and a man at work asked me how old I was, perhaps fully expecting me to say something like "I'd like to keep it a secret," or "You don't ask a woman her age!" When I answered with no hesitation, he seemed surprised. I'm 31...
