How do you RECLAIM your TIME and ATTENTION?

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 12 Mar 08

This is a very typical question. For many of us busy-mongers, we were always catching up with our day-to-day activities. You can be working an 8 to 5 job, a student pouring their head over the load of subjects or a parent with...

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 7 Mar 08

4 days ago, I was down with a terrible cold and flu. You know, the usual symptoms - runny nose, sore throat, headache and cough. I didn't have any fever though so I rely on water therapy and herbal teas. If possible, I always...

Don't you ever get tired of eating meats?

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 6 Mar 08

I am not a vegetarian nor am I a pure meat lover. What prompted me to start this discussion is about a friend I knew who detested eating vegetables. Every time I mentioned greens, he will go all yucky to me.:P I kept wondering...

Do you readily share your REAL PICTURE with VIRTUAL FRIENDS?

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 28 Jun 07

Since joining mylot, I have some friends asking for my real picture. I confess that I'm still a little skeptic about sharing my picture with anyone else. I'm a very private bunny by nature and it will take a virtual friend a long...

Can you SURVIVE without a computer?

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 18 Jun 07

Most of my friends may probably notice AGAIN that I was invisible for the last few days. Nothing amiss happened to me except that my computer decided to take a "little vacation" on its own. It was completely shut down since last...

What kind of slipper are you wearing at home?

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 8 Jun 07

Here in my country, it's quite a common sight to see people wearing trendy looking slippers everywhere. I never owed one of those pair as I felt it is more appropriate for home use only. I went to the mall the other day and was...

I was cleaning the kitchen counter a while ago when I accidentally stepped on a wet surface. I found myself literally sitting on the floor. Instead of helping me, everyone in the house gave a thunderous laughter. I gamely laughed...

Do you think being too sensitive is wrong?

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 30 May 07

I am a very sensitive bunny by nature. Too emotional and caring. I have to admit that I hated being like this. I have been the unfortunate recipient of nastiness from someone whom I thought is a good virtual friend days ago. I let...

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 11 May 07

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 2 May 07

I visited my guy best friend the other day who proudly showed off his new trophy - his first born son. While he chatted non-stop about the joy of being a brand new daddy, I can't help but thought back of the years when he was...

How do you stay mentally alert all day and night?

charms88 @charms88 (7538) • Philippines 27 Apr 07

For years, I have been working like there was no tomorrow. I work from sunrise to the next sunrise, LOL! Just kidding. Admittedly, it is no easy task to handle everything. All too often, I was engulfed by a myriad of useless...
