strange "tasks"

lornasis @lornasis (121) • Philippines 25 Jul 09

Another strange "innovation" at mylot are the tasks. What are the guidelines for tasks? Maybe I should read up on how to post tasks, and what kind of tasks should be up there, etc. All the tasks available now are for click ads....

I wonder about the banner ads in mylot

lornasis @lornasis (121) • Philippines 25 Jul 09

I looong loooong time ago, mylot.com was touted to be a one-of-a-kind social site because it is ad-free. That is why it would seem very strange for me when I see postings with ads or links to some other sites. However, not only do...

home sweet (elusive) home

lornasis @lornasis (121) • Philippines 2 Feb 08

I grew up in a home on family property. However, someone in the family decided to take it all for his own family (by fraud), so that we were left without rights to my grandparents' property. I am trying to establish myself in the...

coffee and your skin

lornasis @lornasis (121) • Philippines 2 Feb 08

I read that coffee - or the caffeine - is actually good for the skin. However, since it is also dehydrating, one must follow it with lots of water. I have always been a coffee drinker, and it is kind of encouraging to read...

I would like to share this picture of the Kumsusan museum, which used to house President Kim Il Sung's office. He lies in state here, which I got the opportunity to visit during a scientific conference.

I visited Pyongyang in July 2007

lornasis @lornasis (121) • Philippines 14 Dec 07

I was supposed to take my comprehensive exams last July, but I let it go in favor of a trip to North Korea's capital: Pyongyang! It was both strange and interesting; stimulating, yet numbing; and many other sensations. We stayed...

Is pulling out frizzy hair bad?

lornasis @lornasis (121) • Philippines 13 Dec 07

I have lately been developing very frizzy hair, and itchy scalp. It's stress-induced. However, I have taken to pulling out my hair, particularly when I am reading something. Do you think those frizzy hairs will not grow again?...

beauty is skin-deep ...

lornasis @lornasis (121) • Philippines 13 Dec 07

I think beautiful skin is a big plus for beauty. Without that smooth, clear "body cover" on us, no amount of make-up or get up can get us that second look. I think drinking lots of water is a key thing; also good hygiene and lots...

lornasis @lornasis (121) • Philippines 13 Dec 07

I have proven it.. and the worst part of it is, you know it. Under a lot of stress, I get frizzy and falling hair, eye bags, dry skin, flaking scalp - and eyebrow skin! It is one thing to turn a little ugly day by day and be...

brushing regimen

lornasis @lornasis (121) • Philippines 9 Dec 07

How do you train kids to brush after every meal? My kid is four, and we go through a whole process of negotiation - to which I submit sometimes; but most of the time, not. I am very busy and I need to get things done quickly.
