can some tagalog-speakers help me out?

there is a girl who likes me. we speak english with each other. she's 18 and i'm 25. she's been shy when communicating feelings with me and now she's started introducing 'po' into her messages. for example:

"hi po"

or

"miss na po kita"

is there a reason for this? i understand the usage of "po" when speaking to elders or when working customer service, but not in this situation. can someone enlighten me on why she might be using it now?

thank you in advance.

this probably belongs more appropriately in the mythology section, but what's the oldest story in old testament, even if it's pretty much a rehash of an older story? and if it has a moral to it.. what would that be?

thanks to anyone who might know.

exactly as worded. if you and i had gotten into a discussion about what you believe and why, what is it that s so exciting?

i have a question. i hear this statement being brought to the defense and justification of people being gay all the time and it makes me wonder: if non-choice is supposed to foster support and acceptance for those who are gay, does it mean that if the opposite were true, (that being gay was indeed a choice), then we have less reason to accept gays as equals? and if so, why is that?

thank you for your time and thoughts in advance.

for example, let's say you were in the middle of a crowded dancefloor in a nightclub and someone is smoking.. would you say something to him/her? would you go to security? i personally feel it's wrong to endanger the health of everyone nearby you for your selfish reasons. not to mention it's illegal.

what would you do?

and what is that activity? ex. jogging, dancing, drugs, etc.

how long have you been meditating? what are the benefits you have experienced?

by 'okay,' i mean socially acceptable. do you believe it should be? when?

from which they derived their beliefs?

any reasons why?

another question of utmost importance, but even more important and far-reaching. you may cite alcoholic as well as non-alcoholic drinks.

and be sure to give religious reasons why. this is the most important part.

this question is of utmost importance.

in the book of genesis or whichever when god was instructing noah on how to build the ark, including exactly which materials at which length to use, for literally pages and pages and pages... did you fall asleep reading this? do any of you find this information useful, insightful, or necessary to your spiritual well-being or understanding of the scriptures?

can you admit that those few pages were a case of intolerable literature?

thank you.

does this have positive or negative effects on your state of mind or mood?

... co-existence is made impossible or even doomed to end in the destruction of the human race?

pure fantasy, i know.. but just a thought.
