piropos @piropos (312) • Philippines 29 Jan 08

When was the last time that you had a nightmare?

piropos @piropos (312) • Philippines 30 May 07

I had one when I was in high school. I remember it vividly until now. I hit somebody while driving a car. It was at the point of impact that I woke up, panting and gasping for breath because of the terror I felt. What about you?

Do you read while you're using the toilet?

piropos @piropos (312) • Philippines 18 May 07

I have had this habit since I could remember. It seems that I could not be there without reading. It helps me relax and when I am relaxed I can do it easier and therefore, I feel better when I come out. How about you?
