Hello to all myLotters out there! I really noticed early in the morning how fast time flies. Imagine, it seems like its only last week that we celebrated Christmas of 2009 and now its already July then August and after wards BER months will approach. That's why im didn't feel my weekend that much because time's flew so fast that i only wake up earlier this day and now it's already late in the afternoon, tomorrow it will be Sunday once again then it's Monday once more, WHEW! Advance Merry Christmas every one!

Yeah, it really does fly when you are keeping yourself busy. Sometimes it feels like things that happen one week ago just happened yesterday. I guess this is why people seem to be so stressed. Hopefully one day people would take the time to slow down and enjoy every moment, this would make every second worth living. :)

Hello! You're absolutely correct for saying all of those, its true that things that happened a week ago seems to happened only yesterday. I am now 33 years old and i could still remember my childhood so vividly that it seems that it only happened 5 years ago, really. Life is too short i guess so what i do is to cherish every moment of my life with importance together with my love ones. Good luck!

Hi jhovee: Same thing happends to me, so, at some point I wish to be something like, a prince for example so I could enjoy every moment of my life . I want to make it clear, I'm happy and I actually don't work as much as some other people do, but at the same time I could say that when you are on vacations for example, and you have enough time to appreciate the beautiful things life have you can ejoy more the time and when your only worry is what to eat or what film are you going to watch tonigh, time slows a litle bit. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Hello there ms sweet saphrina! Yes, we have to keep up with all that's happening around us in order to continue living our lives. We cannot stop time from flying so fast so we should cope and go along with it instead. It all depends on each and every one of us how to deal with the fast paced environment we belong to, and as i could see it, you're one person who really knows how to handle herself in almost all kind of situation you're into. Good luck to you and stay happy always!

Hi, jinjer168. It is so funny that you have mentioned this. I was just telling the nutritionist this at the Health Department, last Thursday. She thinks that this year has flew by very fast. I agree. It is July now and sooner or later my kids will be in school. When I was younger, I used to live with my grandmother. The summer would always go by so slow. It was so boring and there was nothing to do. Time, now, has went by so faster. It was already mid June and I was so ready to go back to school again. I should have been enjoying my summer vacation, but I was ready to be back into school. Ain't that something??

Hi cream: I think that this year has run too fast but at the same time, it seems to me that we have a lot of news this year and some of them were really bad news. This is a special year because we are celebrating the FIFA World Cup so that's a big distraction and I'm working to be Graduated on September, hopefully. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Hello there! I think time is slower to those who didn't do anything at all, and faster to those who are so busy doing so many things. I also experienced to play during summer when im young but in my case, the whole day was not enough for all of us because we're enjoying ourselves so much in climbing fruit bearing trees like mangoes, star apple and guava. We played a lot in the fields and rivers too i really enjoyed my childhood and if it's possible i wanted to go back to that certein time of my life. Enjoy the rest of your summer vacation for you will be busy soon when classes start! Have a great Sunday!

Hi front visions: OMG, when I was a kid I wish to be an adult. And now that I'm an adult, I'm 22 right now, I'd love to stop the time and stay forever like this, well maybe I'd like to have 18 years old again, that was one of my best years but this makes part of our lives. To grow up, get old and die at some moment. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

That's what im trying to say as well. Time flew so fast that im really wondrin why memories ive treasured in my life seem to happened only last year, a week ago or yesterday. Ha ha ha! It must be true really that days gone so fast with your case especially. Imagine, from being so young now you realized that your 65. Still very young! you could still do lots of things and enjoy every single minute while doing it. Good luck!

This is the only one that we cannot stop. It keeps moving and some time feels it is moving so fast and may be some times very slow also. It depends on your counting speed. I think you are having a wonderful time and that is why you feel so.
Do you want to wish you Happy X mas Now???
Be relaxed and
Best wishes
Thank-s

Hi thanks: I agree with you. At some point it's sad that we couldn't have the ability to stop the time at some moment, because the present... we will never be at some point. Sometimes, when I'm remembering a special time of peace and relaxation in my life I wiosh I could go back at this moment. However I think that we should enjoy the moment as much as we could. Thanks for your answer. Have a nice day.

Hello there! You're absolutely right, i think it all depends on us as well to feel whether time really moves fast or slow. To the people who didn't do much with their lives, i guess its much slower. Since im very busy doing my work, after wards i'll transform into a housewife without a maid to do our house hold chores, then a tutor to my daughter and a wife to my husband. Then i feel that time really gone so fast because of too much tasks im having. Im still glad however that i still have time to surf the net and talk with you guys, thanks for the advice, im relaxing my self right now as im only discussing here in myLot. Have a happy Sunday!

People who are busy trying to accomplish things against a specific time frame are the only people who notice that days do fly by really fast. But to those idle ones who have nothing much to do with their time, time seems to move boringly slow.

I agree with you, but sometimes, even if im idle at home doing nothing, i still noticed how days come and go so fast. Imagine, i reached the age of 33 but my childhood memories still linger and very much vivid in my mind as if it only happened 10 years ago. My days as a student as well, i felt it only happened 2 years ago, maybe that's just the way it goes and we all should cope and treasure each and every minute of it and live our lives to the fullest so we will never regret not doing things in earlier times of our lives. Good night!

Hello hatley! That happened here in the Philippines as well. We do have a changing weather patterns. By now, it should be raining season here but then, we're only experiencing little of rains that's why shortage of power supply will be experienced by many places if rain will not come soon. I also watched the news that one province here experienced to have rain with snow which never last too long however. Its better if you're having a cooler weather, too much heat was so irritating. But the problem with this incidents, its indeed very true that our world seems to show abnormalities regarding our climates. Have a nice day and have a safe check up this coming Tuesday!

Hi jinjer: I have experimented this feeling too, specially when I am busy in my job. I think this usually happend because, when you plan your time, you find that your time is not enough for doing all the things that you wish to do. At the same time. kid's perception of time is different so when we were younger we could think that the time was longer than it was. Thanks for starting this discussion. Advance Merry Christmas to you too. Have a nice day.

Hi there starsailover! What can i say but you're really correct for saying all of those. Its true that when you have so many things to do, time moves faster and 1 day seems to be not enough for you to finish all of those stuffs. When i was younger however, i felt that time is slower when im doing nothing, but when im with my playmates and we're having so much fun playing together, time began to move faster. Thanks as well for sharing so much in this discussion, hope you'll have a great day ahead. LOL! You're the only one who greeted me back an advance merry christmas! Good luck!

Hello there! I like you for being that way, for still holding on to God even though you felt that only times flew and go on but not your present life situation. Many of us are like that, but at least we are still coping with our every day lives and that's what important. I do hope that you will achieve all your future plans with the help of our good Lord, people who strongly obey and believe Him will never get lost and just wait for your turn just like what you're doing right now and in His time, you'll never know what you'll be expecting. Good luck!
