What makes you feel great about yourself?

Deymit @pestengbata (180) • United Arab Emirates 9 Aug 12

The fact that I am open minded, it gives me chance to learn, change, and be a better person to society. It feels great to help others and make people happy for my own simple ways.

darkmeiji There are a lot of things that make me feel good. I feel good when I am able to help my family. Our family is not poor, but is also not well-off. It was not easy sending me to college. So I feel happy being able to give them money, or letting them taste...

darkmeiji The computer did disrupt my body clock and sleeping habits. Since I preferred to use the Internet at the wee hours of the morning since the connection is faster, my body got used to the habit. Now, even if I want to have normal sleeping habits, I can't. I just...

darkmeiji Well, you said she is your bestfriend so I don't think it is abnormal that she opened up to you. If I have a personal problem, I would tell my bestfriend because I know I can trust her. True she has a family but family members are often biased with problems...

Is it too early to get out Christmas decorations?

kemak28 @kemak28 (724) • United States 14 Nov 12

I started to pull out my Christmas decorations today. I have so many and it takes me so long to put them out so I figured I'd get an early start on it. My 18 month old had so much fun today watching me put up lights on the tree...

darkmeiji I agree. We do not easily give our trust. We have a know a person first and know that the person will not fool us before we can give our trust. And if trust is broken, it can't be repaired easily. How can we trust someone who lied to us once so easily? We will...

darkmeiji It appears that the company have rules and the people in charge are willing to follow them. I believe this shows that, when the time comes, they will be fair. The supervisor's declaration is irresponsible. He should help his subordinate defend himself instead...

How do you handle gossip and lies spread about you?

randomarts09 @randomarts09 (1405) • Indonesia 15 Nov 12

To make a long story short. Finally I hand out my resignation letter because I can't stand how my manager play favorites with my other co-worker (you can refer to my older discussion), by the way I haven't gotten any replacement...

darkmeiji It is easy to say ignore them and just do your job well. But I know that gossips can get out of hand and people who are not blessed as you tend to band together and believe the lies. I have been in this position before and it is a bad feeling when you know...

darkmeiji Practice! You have to use English a lot. Maybe posting in mylot can help? :) But I think you need someone to criticize your work so that you know where you are wrong. My job usually require me to write and it is because there are people looking over my...

darkmeiji There are many people like that traffic enforcer anywhere in the world. It is just too bad that Filipino OFW's, being in another territory, are more vulnerable. Some are even afraid to fight because they do not know if the said country's justice system will be...

Do you still use tangible planners rather than online ones?

pheenkeesh @pheenkeesh (103) • Philippines 5 Nov 12

darkmeiji My phone has an organizer/planner feature but I find that a notebook type planner still works best for me. I find data and dates faster on a physical notebook plus printed and handwritten materials are absorbed by my mind faster.
