myLot has made it happen

Thanks for saying that as I am Filipino myself Anyway, it's really great to be here in mylot as we are pen friends with people worldwide. I would say Mylot has an active participation in globalization.

You can say that again. At the end of the day one feels that one has returned from a worldwide tour!

Before I cam here the only thing I knew about Philippines was about Imelda Marcos and the number of pairs of shoes she had! Now I know much more. Filipinos are a friendly lot and that is what I learnt after being here!

I looked at your profile and see that you are from the UK. I have visited your country but could not do justice as we were there only for two days. It was a package tour covering Europe. Here at myLot we have the possibility to connect with practically all the continents, surely something I could not have thought would ever be possible!

I love the UK, the weather is rubbish but steady I can appreciate the sun when it's here lol. I know it's brilliant!! All from the comfort if the sofa lol.

And sometimes in your nightie too!?

HOW MANY invites do you need..dear friend???? I've invited you to ROMP in the snow, STOMP in the grapes...and now an Ocean journey (of which I now have learned to look upon with great distaste!) A total of 5 hours "upon the briny" in the dark, as here on the Wet (West) coast..daylight NOW only graces us from 7:30 a.m. 'til 4:30 p.m....and the shortest day of the year is yet to come.... Mother Nature is cruel this time of the year...doling out the sun, in very small dribs and drabs...possibly that's why my personality becomes so dark, and unpredictable..LOL!!!! No, town treks are a marathon..and being so unused to the "throngs" of humanity, I sometimes feel like a caged wild animal! So used to having my own breathing space! Invite wide open...and even in the mellow days of summer..I can find you snow to play in! OFF to get "dolled" up for my debut into civilization..haha!

My travelling anywhere has come to a standstill as I am not confident after my accident. I so wanted to see Alaska. But if I am destined to, then you will see me romping with you, one day!

Am I not glad that I bumped into you here!. Your flowery language and your grape romping experience is so unique perga. I have never come across anyone with your kind of colourful lifestyle and what you consider grueling - that trip to the city - I would do anything to get that experience!

Yep, we are unique here, for sure... But I still miss stamps. Getting letters used to be nice too, as a matter of fact.

Yes chrys.. so much more reliable and that is the pivot on which myLot revolves. This you will not find in any of the other scores of social networking sites that are floating around. I too miss those stamps which I used to collect in the good old days. I don't even know where my album has disappeared.. I too don't get to see those red and blue striped envelopes that the mail man used to deliver in the 'mouse' less era!

Most of the mail I get these days is about my investments and some magazines that I have subscribed to. And about this 'collecting mania' stamps, dried flowers, match box pictures were the only ones that were collected in the good old days but today sky is the limit. I have collected shampoo, and conditioner bottles that are given to us at 5 star hotels. As you know, I have travelled a lot and so I would always get those little bottles back home but use my own soap while on travel!

The only time I write is when I make check lists for shopping and chores that need to be done around the house for those who are helping us around and ofcourse I write cheques! Everything else my mouse does including creating greeting cards. There is so much we learn here about people all around the world but strangely I notice we all have same emotions, same aspirations, same whatever.....

'Tis morning here, dear Bro, and so nice to see you here! YES...this site has "really opened up the universe" for me...and created for me a "snug little warm community" of spectacular friends and family, of which I anticipate, each day, a little touch of their warmth and charm in my real world! Twice, I had attempted to "g-mail" you, dearheart...somehow I entered in my address book wrong...It was thanking you for the lovely DiWali card...and the very touching PM! Truly, heartfelt thanks, as it gave me great strength, and courage!

P.S. As I had huge stumbling issues..for a while! EArthquakes, weather...NO power...am wondering if you have/not heard from our friend (dear friend)the Classy.Ms. Saphy...and RoZann (aka; Ocean Tiara, et. al)? I may have missed their communications...but do miss them!

"I have lived again because of this site." What better tribute than this to this wonderful site. There may be several her, like you, who might have got a new lease of life

I never, in my wildest dream, ever thought that sitting in the comforts of my home sometimes in my nightie (as I am at the moment!)that I would interact with the entire world exchanging news and views in a matter of minutes and all this with 'Papa Admin' watching over our activities lest there should be no hurt hurled at any one. I simply love this place!

typo - please read as 'lest there should be hurt.....'

What I like about myLot is that we are protected here. No one can inasmuch as lift a finger to hurt anyone here!

There is a huge difference that I have noticed between myLot and other social networking sites. Here we have guidelines that monitor our participation which keep unsocial elements at bay and therefore it is a clean, safe and happy playground to be in.

Yes, it's possible to have good friends here. I guess we meet our friends here almost every day. I guess we feel at home writing with them.

We hardly get together with people in the real world as we do here!

There is so much we learn here about every subject under the sun - truly a platform for learning, a platform for meeting people and may be even converting the virtual relationship into a real one?

Pity to hear your situation, All. In fact at first, my parents don't really like my ideas to have penfriends. They said it is a waste of time and money. But, in school we have Geography lesson, which need us to deepen our knowledge about different places in the world. My classmates got a lot of their Geography knowledge through their penfriends. I took the chance and explain it to my parents, so they allowed me to have penfriends, provided i must concentrate with my studies. And must get good result in all my exams. I kept my promise and able to managed well my time between communication with my penfriends and my studies. Only during exam time, all my penfriends unable to get any news from me. Gone missing in action with my exams...

That was a brilliant idea indeed justifying why you needed your penfriends Talking about geography I remember, we were studying about New Zealand and their prairies where infinite number of sheep would be found grazing. This image got stuck in my mind and now in the year 2005 I got the opportunity to travel there and I saw with my own eyes what I had studied when I was a kid. I saw those prairies alongside of the roads running into miles and miles with countless sheep looking like cotton balls grazing. My mind took me back to that book where this information was then available!

You seem to have had a great time with penfriends. I hardly had any. My parents never encouraged me as for them studying was all that was there in life!

Long live myLot!

So you are from Bhubaneshwar. I have travelled a lot around India but have so far not visited your part of the world. If this system was present in those good old days, I would have been quite satisfied as this system makes it possible for us to have connection with the whole world in a matter of minutes.

I have been to your city and had breakfast on the Marina Beach - a memorable experience and to think that just a year later tsunami visited that city. This is a secure site and one can freely interact with whosoever one wishes to as with all the guidelines one can be sure of an amicable interaction. No bad words!

To quote a credit card commercial. . . "priceless"

When some users who just think of earning here do not know what they are missing. To be able to connect and interact instantly at a global level is lot more than earning those cents.

I am sure you too are happy here where you get an opportunity to communicate with the whole world getting to know so much. Nothing like being in direct contact with them which is possible here.

"Straight from the horses mouth" I too had reservations about you guys and now when I interact with the lot of you I feel as though I am interacting with my Indian friends. When I saw your house and that cucumber creeper that confirmed that there is no difference at all!

You can still communicate with them if you have their contact details. You can ask them to join here so that you can connect with them by the minute if you so wish!

What we do here one does not see in the real world. I hardly interact with those even close to me and that is your experience as well, I am sure. Could it be the ease with which we can interact here?

What we earn here is not worth the time spent here but what is worth spending time here is having the opportunity to be able to interact at a global level and in the process, getting closer to having real friends!

Well, there is that "earning" factor. But more than that, we would not be this active and "into" it, I mean taking the time to post quality discussions and responses, and counter-comments, if we did not feel at ease interacting with one another here. At least, that's how I feel.

So many pleasant surprises indeed specially to know that they are no different from us in so may ways!

Yes, i very recently watched few videos on you tube and when i checked the comments, those comments were of people not from india, and i had watched bollywood movie, but the emotions,feel was in completely sync, though not added any comment, but felt exactly same they way commented. We can speak any language, be in any part of world and born and bought up in different ways, still emotions speak same language, how interesting.
