I'm happy to say that I was able to wait until I was at the right age, 18, before I started dating. I had classmates and friends who started getting in to relationships as young as 13 or 14. I had crushes and suitors, but I didn't...

ricebird I shop maybe once every two months or every 6 weeks but then I shop at least three new clothes each time. I have reduced my bag purchases to only one or two a year, and shoes to about 3-4 pairs a year.

One thing that really discourages me in having regular visits with my doctor is their habit of arriving at least an hour late. They would post a particular schedule, but they won't be in until after an hour or so. What if there...

ricebird hello jureathome. I have also observed this with many doctor visits I've done in the past. With the doctors I go to though, this was because they had other patients from other hospitals or that they had to attend to medical emergencies. Your story about a...

ricebird I think the key part was that I did not hide anything from my parents. They always knew where I was, with whom whenever. Dating also has certain levels. I think at a young age, you may be allowed to date but it could mostly be wholesome dating or preferably...

ricebird hello MoonGypsy. You made the right decision to inform your sister in law. She may be hurt now and get angry but eventually she will come around. What you said probably did hurt her but it's not as if you lied. Maybe give her some space for now.

ricebird I started dating at age 14. I dont think I had any problems. I completed my degree, have a good career and family life. I think it is preferred to start dating at age 18 and older but it is no guarantee that things will be better if you start later than...

ricebird I think before we have a Disneyland in the Philippines, we should first aim to have really good open spaces and parks where families can hang out for cheaper cost. We are in bad need for these kinds of amusement places. Once you have visited Disneyland one...

We all have one, right? from school... from friends, from elderly, family, even co workers... who do you think is the best teacher for you and what have you learned from this person? did it change your life? how and when?

ricebird I would tend to agree with you that my best teacher is also my mom. Even her death itself taught me a lot about life. The experience of not having her around and facing her death made me realize so many things about life, relationships, family and material...

ricebird I have never lied on my resume. I think it is awkward to do so, get hired and people find out you were not being honest. I think it would best to write University X, Course XX - plan to enrol May 2012 or to enrol May 2012. That way you are completely...

ricebird I agree. A real Filipina beauty would most likely not pass international pageants because she would look very young and almost childlike for her age. I find that Filipinos look younger than their counterparts in other countries.

ricebird I think so. If not for the internet, I would not have learned about issues of child-brides and honor-killings. It helps me get educated on the plight of women in other countries.

ricebird I think for a postpaid plan, you will need to pay a termination fee if you are within the contract period and you are still required to pay the monthly fee even if it is terminated because you are within contract. I had this with one of my postpaid plans. Too...
