To make things more fun, the questions have to reflect the chosen theme. For example, if the theme is “Massage,” all questions should relate to massages. Have you ever had a hot stone massage? Have you ever received a massage you didn’t like? As much as possible, let’s not repeat the questions for added fun! You are also welcome to play more than once!
A toast to our fifth weekend soiree!
The theme: ADVICE
My question for Person #1: Could you give me advice on how to avoid pressing the snooze button too many times in the mornings?
Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

advice #1 : I say, place your alarm clock as far away as you can so you wont reach the snooze.
advice #2: Use an old fashioned alarm clock, one without a snooze button.
question: What’s your advice on checking personal emails and blogging at work, are you for it?

What wacky advice would you give to someone about to get married in about 4 months? 😉
cbs
January 19, 2008 at 9:39 pm (16 years ago)don’t.
just kidding.
getting married is submission to your reality that you can’t live in this world by yourself. if you dispute this, i advise you to go on a retreat, or a journey to an uknown place (like a forest), if not alone, at least without the future spouse.
what is the quickest, and most effective, way of getting rid of toyo (soy sauce) smell off your hands?
Em Dy
January 20, 2008 at 9:00 am (16 years ago)I really don’t know. I usually don’t add salt at the table and that includes toyo unless I’m eating siomai. What I do is sprinkle my fingers with a little kalamansi. I’m not sure if that’s the most effective though.
QUESTION #5: Do you like reading advice columns in magazines or newspapers? Have you written to one?

i have been cosmopolitan (magazine) girl for years and been reading those advice columns…
have i written to one? NO I just went for psychoanalysis to sort out my mess and it really helped.
Question 6:Do you seriously take the advice of an older generation who has been there and done that?
brissiemum2
January 20, 2008 at 7:43 pm (16 years ago)Absolutely! Cause if you are the younger generation now, you’ll end up being the older generation in no time flat and suddenly you realise that they weren’t so bad after all (especially when you find yourself arguing with 12 year olds over what time bedtime really is and what time they want it to be! Arrrghh! Oh, hang on….that’s my nightmare-slash-reality!)
Question 7…..How can you avoid being a thread killer! Rofl!!!
Seriously…..how can you work with someone who has betrayed your trust??? (Cryptic but honest question, I think!)
MarysMom
January 21, 2008 at 1:30 am (16 years ago)Either you don’t or just forget about it and move on— in my book, everyone gets to start over.
Question: Who’s the one with all the advice for you? Mom or Dad?
meekerz
January 21, 2008 at 10:52 am (16 years ago)definitely dad.
have you ever given advice to someone then realized it was a wrong one?
Dexie
January 21, 2008 at 11:25 am (16 years ago)Nope, coz I’m always right. bwahahahaha
who’s advice would you to, your spouse/long time partner or your best friend? Oooohhhhh
rhada
January 21, 2008 at 11:29 am (16 years ago)Oh yeah! definitely.
Have you ever given unsolicited advice? Why?
rhada
January 21, 2008 at 11:32 am (16 years ago)oh my, Dexie beat me to meekerz question….so to answer Dexie’s question….
my spouse.
my question….
have you ever given unsolicited advice? why?
kat
January 21, 2008 at 12:22 pm (16 years ago)yes i have, but nothing elaborate. when i give unsolicited advice, it’s usually a passing thing. for example, i hear a co-worker talk about something and i’ll give her a tip to help her out. or if i see someone leaving the building without an umbrella and it’s raining, i’ll say “i’d bring an umbrella if i were you!” hehehe… but i’d really love to say sh*t like: “you have no business wearing a striped shirt with a pinstripe suit!” or “my gawd woman, the teased hair was over way back in the 80’s!” *evil grin*
my question: what advice would you give to preggo woman who’s expecting a new baby any day now (but already has a 2-yr old at home as well) to help her keep sane? =D
ruth
January 21, 2008 at 3:39 pm (16 years ago)oh my, that’s difficult, something i have to face myself in a few months’ time. but here goes: take it one day at a time. one “trick” that also worked for a friend: on the day of the birth, have a gift ready for older kid, and tell him it’s a gift from the baby. your older kid will be friendly to the baby right from the start. and as always: when things go tough, remember the mantra: this, too, shall pass! 😉
my question: how would you feel if someone seeks your advice, and then goes to do the opposite of what you said?
Cookie
January 21, 2008 at 5:02 pm (16 years ago)I wouldn’t take it against the person. Besides, maybe he/she didn’t think my advice was that sound in the first place. And it’s their problem anyway
Question: Who is the first person you go to when you need advice regarding your personal life?
empress maruja
January 22, 2008 at 3:46 am (16 years ago)Sad to say, I can only rely to myself. My dad will never understand my gayness, while I only meet up with friends occasionally.
How will you accept hearing an advice that you don’t like to hear?
Meeya
January 23, 2008 at 2:10 am (16 years ago)with a grain of salt.
although i won’t always agree with an advice given to me, i’d still be thankful that he/she took the time to help me think of a solution to my problem – or had the guts to even tell me what i didn’t want to hear but had to. 
Question: if you could give one and only one advice to your (or would be) kids, what would it be?
marie
January 23, 2008 at 10:02 pm (16 years ago)I’d advise my future kids to enjoy their youth, by being good and doing good .. live life to the fullest!
My Q : What’s the silliest advise you’ve heard so far? And who’s given it, and to whom?
