wisedragon @wisedragon (2325) • Philippines 22 Apr 08

I just watched "An Inconvenient Truth", a documentary on global warming featuring Al Gore. He seems like a great guy and really concerned about the environment. I'm wondering why you didn't elect him as president. Why did you have...

wisedragon @wisedragon (2325) • Philippines 21 Apr 08

If you were a childless couple would you consider adopting a child? It seems Madonna and Angelina Jolie want to start a fad by adopting children from Africa. For me I think it would depend on my financial situation. If I'm...

What's up with these fake showbiz couples?

wisedragon @wisedragon (2325) • Philippines 17 Dec 07

In local showbiz here in our country, there are many fake "couples", so-called love teams. They fool the public into thinking that they are in a real relationship just so that their movies and TV shows would sell. Before there...

Question for the married people: I'm just wondering, when you're already married do you still find yourself thinking about your previous loves? Like your high school crush or your previous boyfriends/girlfriends? Or does it all go...

If you've ever bought a small gadget in the United States, you know what I'm talking about. It's the hard plastic packing that they use for products such as cellphones, cameras, etc. They're so difficult to open! If you use...

Anyone else concerned about oil?

wisedragon @wisedragon (2325) • Philippines 24 Nov 07

Oil has just hit $99 per barrel. Transportation is getting more and more expensive. To give you an idea how terrible this is, when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf of Mexico and devastated the oil rigs there, the price of oil...

wisedragon @wisedragon (2325) • Philippines 2 Oct 07

You're very busy. You're under a lot of stress. It's one of those bad days. Then the phone rings. You answer it. It's a telemarketer, offering you to book a vacation, or apply for a new credit card, buy this, buy that. What do you...

wisedragon @wisedragon (2325) • Philippines 14 Sep 07
