Do you wake up early?

nehrlas @nehrlas (202) • United States 22 Sep 07

Do you wake up early, or sleep in late? I go to bed earlier and wake up at the crack of dawn. I am probably getting the same amount of sleep as everyone else, I just love mornings and the start to a day! I am also not into talking...

syaobai I wake up between 1pm - 3pm. Depends what time I slept the night before. But I'll force myself to wake up in the morning if I have an early outing which is very rare because most of my friends wake up around the same time as me.

syaobai I'm also living in Asia and there are only 2 seasons here. I'll prefer 4 seasons because there's something to look forward to do during different seasons. Also it's too hot here for me I feel like I'm burning up whenever I'm walking to school.

Dr. Ann @drannhh (15219) • United States 23 Sep 07

syaobai Gingers are stored in fridge in my house so there's no chance that it will grow.. Also my mother will kill me if I try to grow something. She's afraid that it will become very messy..

syaobai Maybe they have nothing better to do but to send prank messages to scare girls? Anyway, it's safe to ignore a message from an unknown sender. If it's from enemies, then victims have to be more careful of their surroundings. Never know what youngsters these...

Should we compare ourselves with others?

mari123 @mari123 (1861) • China 22 Sep 07

In our culture a lot of times people advise us to compare ourselves with others. They say, for example, "You should be like your father." or "You can win; the others aren't as good as you." How far do you agree with these...

syaobai Comparison statements made by others depresses people. But there it might be effective to some people. However, I think that self-comparisons like "He is so smart, maybe I should study harder to be like him" sort of motivates people to strive harder.

Is my secret safe with you?

honesty2008 @honesty2008 (447) • United States 17 Sep 07

Are the type of person who can keep a secret? Or does it depends on the secret?

communication

confession

family

3 responses

syaobai It depends on the secret. If someone says anything good/bad about my best friend, I'll tell my best friend about it. But if it's some secret that cannot be known to someone, I'll just keep the secret for them cause they trust me to tell me about it.
