Graceekwenx @Graceekwenx (3160) • Philippines 14 Sep 11

Friends. Has anyone of you climbed Mt. Tapyas? I would be flying to Coron for a vacation with friends. They said that it was a 746-step trail. Can you compare trekking Mt. Tapyas from Monkey Trail? Is trekking Mt. Tapyas friendly...

sweet_pea I like your balloon ideas. I have always been a child at heart. We've never done any of these ideas. My husband knows I'm gaga over flowers. Last Valentines, he didn't give me flowers on the day itself because prices of flowers tripled on...

sweet_pea I've never experienced taking loans from loan sharks because I know they charge a lot. I take loans from other sources which charge a lower interest rate. In fact, I have a personal loan from a bank, a housing loan, an insurance loan, a cooperative loan, a...

sweet_pea She had a conflict with fellow co-star Alissa Millano (Phoebe) so she decided to leave the show. Well it is not the first time she did that. She also had a conflict with a fellow co-star in 90210. She left the series too.

How do you burst out when you're angry?

sais06 @sais06 (1284) • Philippines 15 Aug 11

Most of the time I’d feel like punching or throwing something whenever I burst out but of course I wouldn’t want to do that because I wouldn’t want to hurt anybody, so I usually just end up hurting myself by punching hard a...

sweet_pea When I am angry I try to keep my mouth shut. I realized that when I am angry I tend to say hurtful words that I usually regret afterwards. I try to be alone for awhile to suppress this intense feeling I am having and take deep breaths. I try to calm myself for...

When you were growing up how did your parents discipline you?

bluegemini10 @bluegemini10 (327) • United States 15 Aug 11

Well when I was younger I got spanked, but when I started to enter my teen years I got grounded. Do you believe in spanking your child/children?

8 responses

sweet_pea How I wish it was limited to spanking. My father's disciplinary styles are very creative, I never would even dare do it to my kid. Heck! I wasn't even spared from my first grade teacher who was a terror. I was hit by a stick on my butt for failing to memorize...

sweet_pea It happens dear. We also do the same. We usually have a feast on weekends because it is that time of the week where we are not in a rush to do things. Usually on a weekday, we hardly have time to enjoy our meal specially breakfast since we need to be on the...

Why do married couple wear their ring on the third finger?

Grace @valleyofberaca (299) • Khaimah, United Arab Emirates 14 Aug 11

I'm just curious why married couple, wear their ring on the third finger. What if they wear it on their thumb or on the pointing finger? Is there any rules or reason why they put it there? Please give me your answer. Thank...

sweet_pea I never heard this story before but I must agree with you that it makes sense. From what I read, I must agree with Linda here that there's a vein that connects it to the heart,that's why they put the wedding ring there.

sweet_pea It is really not the dress or a fancy wedding that matters but the marriage that comes after that one-time event is what is important. I mean it is your wedding and it only happens once in a lifetime (if you are that lucky). It's your day, so whatever you want...

sweet_pea @sweet_pea (3322) • Philippines 13 Jun 11

My group of friends at work had a nice chat about TV. A sister of my co-worker who was coming home from overseas work bought a 42" LCD TV. This is on top of the 4 television sets they have at home. They say they each have TVs on...

sweet_pea It pays to be frugal these days. All prices are all soaring high. There is really not much left on our paycheck. As long as the TV served its purpose, it's fine with me. I don't care about the features. They still show the same programs.

Anybody? It's a show about Nikita, starred by Maggie Q- it's kind of a continuation to La femme Nikita , but La Femme Nikita goes rogue (and will take down the division) when they kill her lover. It just keeps getting better and...
