How can I tell him?

Madona1 @Madona1 (2096) • Gibraltar 15 Apr 12

Two months ago, one of my new colleagues asked me if I was single or married. I lied to him that I was married (indeed I have separated for 6 months.). The reason was simple as I was not ready to publish my separation yet....

polilablowe You should tell him the truth if you are interested in furthering the relationship with him. That would be the foundation of your relationship if he still feels the same way as 2mos ago. You should also be ready to accept it if he has moved on and dated other...

Extreme Couponing--Not a possibility here in the Philippines

anne25penn @anne25penn (3305) • Philippines 15 Apr 12

I was watching this show on TLC last night about people in the US who spend almost nothing when they buy their groceries. They use discount coupons that they clip or cut from magazines or even box tops. Some would even order these...

polilablowe Yes, you are right. It is a bit sad when you think about it. It all depends on the environment that you live in. In the States, they can use coupons as they do get their groceries on supermarkets and groceries. Unlike in the Philippines, where we more often...

...finally! Trip is over and I won't deal with these people any longer.

jeanneyvonne @jeanneyvonne (5500) • Philippines 7 Apr 12

I am now in a trip with my family in another country (Japan). The trip involved also the collegues of my father and some of their fmailies who opted to join. I was really excited since I was very interested in Japnese culture, its...

polilablowe I think, instead of focusing on them on the duration of the trip, you can try to focus more on your interest on the Japanese culture. They may just be excited on the trip as well and in turn they cannot help but look like they are goofing around.

polilablowe I agree with you. What you will give, you will definitely get back. What you sow is what you will be reaping. So I always try to put myself on the other shoes so that I can feel exactly what they will be feeling when I do something to them or something like...

polilablowe There are a lot of bonding activities that do not cost that much. If you live near the beach, you can just go there and bring food like a picnic. You can also visit museums and other historical places in your place.

polilablowe I do not go on overtime without pay. I believe that as an employee, if my work requires me to go on overtime, i will. As an employer, my employer should compensate me for what i have worked for.

polilablowe This is one of my frustration. First is to be able to bake a cake or cupcake. Then decorate it afterwards. I feel that it would be fun. Hopefully, i can get to do that in the future.

Michelle @infatuatedbby (94909) • United States 1 Apr 12

The age limit to use Facebook is only 13, did you know that? I find that the age limit is so young. I think the age limit should be raised to at least 16 years old even though if it's raised up I am sure many will still open an...

polilablowe My husband snores too. At first, i had a hard time sleeping. But when i read about it, it helps when you let them sleep on their side rather that sleep on the normal position. Sleeping on their side helps their breathing. Hope this helps.
