purplehaze you are a very good and responsible father. usually fathers worry about their kids but not all will do all those extra things like bathing her and putting her to sleep especially if the mom is around. when i was still single, i know that all parents have this...

KnehKnah @KnehKnah (3584) • Philippines 10 Oct 15

Never waste your time arguing over petty things. Instead, resolve the issue with calm heads & emotions. Learn to forgive & forget. Never be "historical". There is more to enjoy in life than to push your very own self to...

purplehaze thank you for your advice. For the line Never be "historical", i find this hard to abide. I find that i am a person who finds it really hard to forget the bad things that was done to me. For example, when my husband was still my bf, he cheated on me once and i...

purplehaze wow you are lucky to have led a peaceful life and a happy family. but unfortunately, that is really how our world works.. there are really some people who seem to find happiness in other people's misery which is why they like giving other people a hard time....

Macarrosel @Macarrosel (7498) • Philippines 18 Oct 15

If I have all the money in the world, aside from being a philanthropist or helping the poor and the needy people, I will buy a small island where I build a nice small house, a chapel where I pray and meditate, a WiFi to continue...

Would you stay back to work 2 hours overtime with no extra pay and no transport allowance?

scheng1 @scheng1 (24649) • Singapore 19 Oct 15

I may have to stay back in the office for 2 hours or more tomorrow just to clear the work. There is no extra pay for overtime, and no allowance for staying, not even transport allowance for me to take a cab home. Working for free...

purplehaze I would only agree to stay overtime for work for more than 2 hours if there is an overtime pay. If it is just one hour or less, I would not mind even if there is no pay but only if it is really needed and it is not frequent. Sometimes we need to sacrifice a...

Everyone has something we want and something we don't want.

Yasser Mattar @yeezermac (145) • Singapore, Singapore 20 Oct 15

Everyone has something we want and something we don't want. We look at Jason across the office and we want to share his skills in IT. We don't want him to get too close though becuase he'll talk our ear off about some inane...

purplehaze that is right.. i guess that's what makes life fair after all -- a person cannot have all the good things in life. And it is also what teaches us to value or appreciate more those things that we have, because sometimes the things we take for granted for are...

I’m Becoming a Lazy Bum

Richard L. Meister Jr. @RichardMeister (5328) • Otis Orchards, Washington 19 Oct 15

purplehaze getting busy or getting things done sometimes need a different perspective. You may not be fruitful in terms of working (Career-wise) but at least you are getting some household chores done and/or cooking so the day's not totally wasted. I understand though...

When "outgoing" isn't really you

Cahaya @cahaya1983 (11116) • Malaysia 17 Oct 15

do you accept every friendship request?

alina @swissheart (6482) • Romania 18 Oct 15

I realized that I have many friends of facebook but there are few of them I could call friends on real life. I started to be a little more careful to who I accept as a friend and many times I simply deny a friendship request.

purplehaze I agree that we should not just go and accept everybody as friends in facebook. For me, although facebook is considered a social media, i still want to keep my group of friends limited to only my real friends or at least someone i knew back in school or work....

Is RENTING a house WISER than BUYING through LOAN?

frenchfriesmama1 @frenchfriesmama1 (39) • Philippines 1 Apr 11

purplehaze like the other mylotters, i also prefer buying rather than renting especially if you have the budget or extra money. Because in some places, when you compute the monthly rental that you pay, it may almost be the same amount that you need to pay for the monthly...

online shopping

frenchfriesmama1 @frenchfriesmama1 (39) • Philippines 28 Mar 11

Do you think online shopping is practical? I sometimes find this practical, rather than me going to the malls spending money for gas just to go the malls,well not unless your house is nearby a mall.
