Eva Russilahiba @DaddyEvil Thank you so much for the new insights! We did, but we didn't get anywhere. He advised us to borrow some money from a relative. I told him to wait until my salary was paid (for some reason it was delayed last February), but he "couldn't" bear the...

Don’t celebrate their birthday? Today is my husband’s birthday but he doesn’t want to celebrate at all. Not even a Facebook greeting, he forbids us to make. I respect his wishes but deep inside I want to do something special for...

Eva Russilahiba Some people really like to celebrate their birthdays while others don't. It's interesting how our childhood experiences can shape our attitudes towards certain things, like birthdays.

For the past three weeks, I've been taking care of my younger sister who was hospitalized. I realized that I might have the talent to be a caregiver. Even though it was challenging, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I...

Eva Russilahiba It's really tough to take care of someone who is ill. It's a noble job, but it can take a toll on the caregiver's health and wellbeing if they don't take care of themselves too. I hope your grandmother gets well soon.

Eva Russilahiba Yeah, you're probably right Taking care of my sister in the hospital wasn't that hard because she's not the type to give me a hard time. I guess it's different when you're dealing with people who have different personalities and attitudes.

Eva Russilahiba @DaddyEvil The age of consent in Indonesia is also 18, but our society is very attached to the concept of filial piety, as I explained in another comment. Unless one gets married or migrates for work or study, it's very rare to encounter a child living apart...

Eva Russilahiba @DaddyEvil I've always had this dream of living on my own... Just having my own space and independence... But my dad just wouldn't let me. He kept saying that it's too expensive to support two households, but I knew that was just an excuse. I mean, I'm...

Eva Russilahiba @LadyDuck Just wondering, is it okay to feel like my father takes things for granted sometimes? I guess it's also tied to our cultural emphasis on filial piety. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

Eva Russilahiba @Icydoll My sister's still in college, so she can't really contribute much financially. You're right. I think it's time for me to have a serious talk with him about it soon.

Eva Russilahiba @yoalldudes It reminds me of that one time I went to a thrift shop a while back to buy a jacket, but the prices were absurdly high for used items. It's a popular thing among teenagers nowadays. Is it normal for them to mark up the prices like that? I was...

Eva Russilahiba I'm really starting to feel the cultural gap now. It's like over here, it's just expected that you take care of your parents when they get old, whether you live with them or not.

Eva Russilahiba It's crazy to think that over on your side of the world, the nights are longer than the days. It's the complete opposite over here.

Eva Russilahiba Those bags are stunning! The fact that they're second-hand just makes them even cooler. You really have an eye for finding hidden gems.
