Oh we have neighbors from hell! Haha. They are like an extended family. Brothers and sisters with their own families living in one dilapidated house. I don't really care the look of their house. Sadly, they are very unruly! The children are still out in the streets until 1 AM. They are shouting...

I am not really fond of music, but I am enjoying the album/songs of different artists like Taylor Swift, Hozier, Sia, etc. I find their music pleasant to the ears.

Thanks for sharing this. I live with my two nephews, and I always tell them the truth about safety. I do not scare them or tell them "no" without explaining why. I believe that by treating children honestly or by not underestimating the way they perceive things is very important.

Well, maybe, some "freed" men want to go back in because it is easier to live inside than outside. They have meals, beds, etc. I won't be able to say these things if I will consider the jail management system in my country though. The jails here are so crowded, many inmates die due to...

I am a member of a Facebook group for K1 (Fiancee Visas). One of the members there posted and asked for suggestions because she is having problems with her boyfriend who she met on Craigslist a few years ago. He has borderline personality disorder, and there are times when he becomes aggressive...

Stories like this one restore my faith in humanity. Even though mainstream media like reporting bad news every day, there should always be a time for positive stories. Simple stories such as cat videos, heroic acts of a dog, etc. can make a big difference in the outlook of people.

I am not a police officer, but because I studied TV productions in college, I know that maby things are sensationalized when broadcasted. It's done like that so that the emotions of people will be triggered in a big way.

Hi, there! I hope that you will have a great time here. :D There are tons of discussions that you can join. Trust me, you will have a very good time here. :D Cheers!

I just stand up and roam the office. I mean the whole building. 3 floors, and I walk up and down twice. Then, I go back to my desk.

Looks too scripted. :( But if it isn't, I guess police officers should be more vigilant!

I do hope that the US will be able to handle the cases of Ebola there. They should try to stop saving other countries and focus on their own people first.

I spend like 8 hours a day browsing the Internet. It's part of my job, so I can't really avoid it. Downside though, I get terrible headaches almost every week. :( My eyesight is bad now, too.

For me, blogging is a great way to express whatever is on my mind. I don't post often though because I am afraid of the comments that I will receive. Do you blog?

Hi, Amber! Welcome! :D I hope that you will have a great time here. Visit all the sub-fora and participate in the discussions!
