mrsyen Hi! My favorite room would have to be the den. With a comfy sofa to lounge in, it's perfect for watching TV or movies, reading, taking a nap, or just simply hanging out. With lots of snacks on hand, it's a great way to spend the day.

mrsyen I was in the dormitory in UP with my friends when it occurred. I remember our initial reaction was, "Is it snowing?" Turned out it was the ashfall from the eruption. But I can't recall if we felt the aftershocks from the earthquake or not.

Do you save for a rainy day?

mrsyen @mrsyen (43) • Philippines 15 Apr 09

I do! Every time I receive a 10-peso coin in change, I set it aside. I keep the coins in a special container that I only open once a year. It's always a nice surprise to find out how much I've accumulated and saved in a year. One...

mrsyen I saw your question, and I just had to know the answer, hahaha. Snails can supposedly sleep or hibernate for as long as 3-4 years! Normally, they sleep during the day and come out at night to feed.

mrsyen I can sleep without a pillow if forced to, but I'd rather sleep with one. Or even better, two! - one for the head and one to cuddle. It doesn't matter if the pillow is flat or fluffy. The pillow for the head helps support my neck, the pillow for cuddling helps...

inkyuboz @inkyuboz (1392) • Mandaluyong City, Philippines 19 Mar 09

It's probably one of the best books I have read in years. Seriously, this book trumped a lot of my favorite books, and I read a lot of Gaiman and Palahniuk, so that's tough competition right there. "The Curious Incident of the Dog...

mrsyen Hi! I read this book 3 years ago, and I fell in love with it. It's written in such a way that you get a deep insight into the main character and the way he thinks. The book is humorous, sometimes outright funny, but at the same it is sad and heart-breaking....

tjdas83 @tjdas83 (178) • Malaysia 18 Mar 09
