Hello mylotters!
I had a very boring week and as well a boring weekend. I tried playing again an online game that I used to play when I was in high school but it didn't helped at all. I still got bored of the game. I tried looking for a new game to play but I realize that I am already tired of playing online games. :(,What do you do when you're bored?

I never play online games.When I get bored of doing anything online,I either read my choicest books or go out for a long walk.Sometimes when I am tired or it is raining,I prefer to play chess with my son.He is a good player.We try to defeat each other and entertain ourselves in the process.Or sometimes when my son is busy with his studies or not at home,I visit my friends.

Hello Ghajini I hope that you are fine. I had an accident a month ago. I use to be a very active woman, but since a month ago I have to rest in bed.
I have to be very creative to get rid of boredom. So I play online look & search games, I play my online favorite food challenges, I play and I learnt to make new dishes at the same time, I love them. I play music, I take my keyboard over my bedtable and study, I read online books, I mylot, I hear music and for the first time I´ve seen a complete online movie, I do some handcrafts. And I work on my online business, I enjoy to work too, to get rid of boredom.
If I were healthy I would do biking.
But by now I have to rest in bed, tomorrow morning I´ll be at the doctor´s office.
Enjoy your Sunday.
Blessings Ghajini... Dainy

I have separated things into three kinds, routine things, common things(not interested in) and special things(interesting things). Usually I like to do special things, then routine things, the last is common things.
So when a new game comes out, I will spend days and nights on it until it becomes common things. If I can not find something interesting to do, I will check out the routine things in my life, like housework or washing.

Thanks for the response. That's really a great way of organizing things to do, I might actually do that, probably my problem is I keep on looking for interesting things when in fact there are a lot of routines like household chores that I could actually do when I am bored. Thanks again.

Well today I thought that for a change I would try to make some candles as I was bought a few bits for christmas to make candles with, so I had a friend come to give me a hand, as I can not stand for long any more and was unsure if I would manage to do all the things that needed doing to make them.
I will say it broke the day up and the end results were great.

Yes, I also enjoy reading, though most of the things I read are online materials. I love to eat especially when I am bored, probably that's one of the reasons I have been gaining some weight lately. I don't have a dog but in the day, I feed my grandparent's chickens and I enjoy playing with one chick who is already a young chicken now, her name is Lori.

Well, if you are bored of the games online, you can always go to Mylot. You earn while you enjoy sharing what you have in mind.
Me, i hardly have time for everything i want to do. I am busy at my full time job from 9 - 6. Then wehn i arrive home, i like to exercise, watch TV , do FB , bond with my husband and play online. But, when i do that all, i will be late to sleep, and the next day i should be early to work.
On rest day, Sunday, it will be a busy day for me. Always lacking time.
I think, so as not to be bored, you should always find interesting things to do.

Well, for me, it really depends on my mood and where I am at. If it is my days off and I get bored and can afford to go get out and do something, that is one of the main things I go do. But when I am at home winding down and relaxinxg I am either posting here on myLot, playing a game or sometimes just look for a good movie to watch.

I also love to play games on my laptop and before PSP or PS3 but that's being when I still have an interest. Now I just watch movies and listened to my favorite music when I'm bored.

Thanks for the response. Yeah I do watch some movies once in a while, some are on cable tv but I really prefer watching some movies at the cinemas. Like this month, I am planning to watch Iron Man 3 at the cinema. Yeah the internet is really a good way to relieve us from boredom since we can do a lot of stuffs online like browse various sites, play some games, read some books (I personally read some Bible verses online), read news, etc. Yeah I also enjoy eating but trying my best to control it now, since sometimes I tend to eat too much, thus giving me unwanted belly fats.

Hello!
I closed our business for two or three weeks now. Previously, I was working. I am a full time housewife now and I am getting bored already. I am not liking it. unfortunately, we don't have postpaid internet connection here at our new place so I only have a chance to be online twice a week. So you can imagine how bored I am! No internet!
I am into cross stitching now and I had finished two pattern which will be my gift for my cousin..

I do dishwashing liquids and fabric softeners which I also teach to some women here in my community. I do those homecare products and some sell it for me. Sadly, simce I live far from the city, I can't buy the raw materials that often. I love reading a lot which I also do now to ease boredom aside from cross stitching. I don't watch television much. I might be hooked on certain shows, lolz.
Thanks for sharing the site. :)

My mom used to cross-stich when I was a kid. Now most of her works are framed and displayed at our home. Yeah, having access to the internet is a necessity nowadays. I suggest that you try the smart's "always on" broadband plan, always on plan 499 can be used for 30 days but you are limited to 1 gigabyte worth of data consumption. Which is probably enough if all you have to do is just check some emails once in a while, visit mylot and do some IM chats.

Hi ! I am not really fond of playing games online. I can't appreciate it ! I rather write and write here in Nylot , making use time , be productive here than playing games which only exhaust us that much.

Thanks for the response. Well everyone is different, some people appreciate gaming while others don't. I honestly appreciate some games but not all, and I must agree gaming can be really really exhausting. I remember during the days of my addiction with online gaming, there were times that I just spend my whole day playing in front of the computer.

I read or watch television. Usually both of these activities put me to sleep.
