If you could go anywhere in the world in an all-expenses paid trip, where?

lizziegee @lizziegee (297) • Philippines 13 Apr 13

I would love to visit France. Aside from seeing and taking a picture with the world-famous Eiffel Tower, it would also be awesome to do an epic shopping trip around Paris, where most luxury brands have their outlets. It would be...

whitneysquirrel I think I would want an all expense paid trip to India. No time would be enough to go around and visit all the places I want to see. Even if it's cheap, it would probably take a lifetime.

An online book store with free worldwide delivery

Lee Ka @kaka135 (14970) • Malaysia 11 Apr 13

Have you heard of The book depository? It's an online book store with free worldwide delivery. I have heard about this book store lately, and found some books that I wanted to buy. Also, the price is about the same as Amazon's or...

whitneysquirrel I was so excited by your post and I checked out the site immediately. I still think the prices are higher compared to used books on ebay but if it means added security that you will receive the item you ordered, it makes sense. I have only bought from ebay and...

The benefits of a good nights sleep!

ctryhnny @ctryhnny (3460) • United States 6 Apr 13

I've been having problems sleeping so of course I'm tired during the day. I went back to my usual meds and last night I got the best nights sleep. Instead of waking up at 5am I slept until 9 and I woke up feeling so good! I did 4...

whitneysquirrel I am a sleeping enthusiast myself. Although I've discovered that I have to have the right amount of sleep. Sleeping longer also makes me lethargic. But when I sleep well, I do have the energy to do more things, and quite well too. Sleep and some physical...

Can We Always Smile at the Storms of Life?

AQDGVal2013 @Adval2013 (436) 6 Apr 13

When life becomes tough, we see different reactions and responses. I see that the toughest ones get going but the weaker seem to just back away or withdraw from the battlefield. What makes people strong in fighting the battles...

whitneysquirrel I think there are times when it is appropriate to withdraw. It does not make one weak, sometimes it is necessary to do that so one can gather strength to face challenges. Every person is different and every situation is different. Even if you cannot smile, the...

simplify my life?

maxfashioned @maxfashioned (188) 5 Apr 13

The chaos in my life/house makes my mind so cluttered. I would really like to simplify things but don't know where to start. There are always things to do on my to-do-list, most of which never get finished. I have tried making...

whitneysquirrel Gosh, I do know how you feel. I am a lazy and procrastinating person in the first place, and then there is the endless list of things to do. Sometimes I get my act together though. And I have noticed that at those times it is because I am honest and realistic...

A Formal Education is Needed, But Self-Education is Essential.

craziestqueenever @craziestqueenever (1819) • Philippines 5 Apr 13

whitneysquirrel And why should these two be separate in the first place? That says a lot about the existing educational system that is not aimed at learning but at getting a job. I say it does not have to be separate, you can get self educated about the things that are being...

shopping... have you ever splurged on something expensive but not necessary?

dagami @dagami (1158) • Rome, Italy 5 Apr 13

when we go shopping and have some extra cash, we sometimes get tempted to buy something that isn't really necessary at all. we buy it just because it caught our eye and we like it. a friend of mine went to japan and she bought...

whitneysquirrel My biggest splurges are always for things that I love, books, food or a jacket that keeps me warm. So I think, although they are not bare necessities, they are worth it.

It's not stable

aubrey @averygirl72 (38814) • Philippines 5 Apr 13

Is your faith stable? I definitely have to have faith with a bigger life force because I see myself quite a weakling. I have confidence but it's not so big. I am always fearful too of new things so I really need faith. I come at a...

whitneysquirrel It really depends I think on what you value more, for your faith to be stable or for your faith to be strong. If your faith is stable, it is not being challenged, it does not undergo tremendous amount of struggles. But a strong faith is one that has been...

A zed and two noughts - A film everyone should see

Tornknee @Tornknee (72) • Australia 4 Jan 13

whitneysquirrel I don't want to record myself giving birth and I don't want to see my birth either. But I don't care if that is what other people want, as long as they don't force me to watch it as I am not particularly interested.
