Goodbye MyLot...Hello MoraChat?!!!

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 5 Oct 15

I came across this post by a person with the username Aries1973 with the title I used for this post. Didn't find it in any posts here but at her own site. How true is this? Then why am I writing here? Am I returning here for...

A member since nine years ago!

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 5 Oct 15

Am staring at my profile and I can see basic details showing. It's amazing how time went by so fast. It's been nine years now since I registered here, made friends, and posted more than a thousand discussion and responses. In...

Returning to old hobbies...

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 5 Oct 15

Don't our attention get diverted by sooo many things as we grow older? Too many responsibilities and obligations to attend to. And singles aren't spared from these stuff. A lotta things we deem more important now than we did years...

Compromise ...NOT!

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 19 Nov 12

To earn extra cash, I do other stuffs (offline) like modeling, hosting and acting. But, there's a downside to this so it's really not been a big help for me. I said COMPROMISE because there are convictions I had to give up to...

So in love with pasta and can't wait to start cooking again.

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 5 Nov 12

Since I moved to my new unit last March, I didn't get to have the luxury of cooking anymore since I returned the rusted electric stove the owner included in the rent. So, I had to put up with steaming food, usually fish and...

Wise up when you're in a relationship.

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 5 Nov 12

There's always this problem when you're in a relationship. You gotta always consider the other person when making decisions. You can't think for yourself anymore. So, every time you have to decide even small things, you have to...

How many here will admit that more often, we ask questions but will not believe the answer given because we already have a preconceived answer to our own question? This usually happens between partners (boy and girl relationship)....

We tell others how to live their lives but don't know how to live ours.

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 4 Nov 12

I guess this is true with everyone. We get to be in this habit of people watching. Carefully and critically looking at the lives of others, how they stumble, how they fail, how they succeed... It's like watching a movie or a...

How we hate it when we are being judged but go on judging others unforgivingly!

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 29 Oct 12

It's funny how I hear people talking about how they feel so bad that people are so judgmental and this and that. How people are always saying negative things about them. Most would even quote lines about "judging others". What...

Ironically, being who you are makes people hate you.

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 27 Oct 12

How often will you hear people suggest "be who you are" and yet when you're being you, they start either staying away or saying things behind your back? I wonder why they say this and yet unprepared to accept the truth of another?...

Get rid of the rotten fruit in you if you want to enjoy life.

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 27 Oct 12

I noticed how I'd become easily irritated by a silly comment. There's this one person who always hangs out with the gang and he's simply so childish. At his age, he's not acting the way he should and it's so annoying! He'd even...

To offer help or not...?

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 27 Oct 12

It is almost always automatic with me to offer help whatever I can extend. Even to strangers. Like earlier, when I was walking around I came across this couple trying to get inside a cab. The wife's handicapped sitting on a...

What to look forward to every Christmas season.

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 27 Oct 12

I can't think of any real happy Christmas I had. When I was still living with my folks, we never really celebrated Christmas eve like how most families do. Whoever wanted to eat, ate. Not much talking. There wasn't really...

Is there really such a thing as stealing someone else's idea?

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 27 Oct 12

I came across this "funny" quote, which expressed that his ideas are being copied or something like that. Made me think if it's even really possible. For me, it could be that someone also has the same idea as another's. I remember...

Someone with the habit of getting sympathy to get financial help.

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 27 Oct 12

I recently (about a couple of months ago) met a new friend who also joined our group. He's been very open about his life especially his lowest point. It's really unusual but I wasn't really suspicious about it at first. I am aware...

Initiating chat and then will leave you hanging -- annoying or what?!

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 27 Oct 12

I got really annoyed two nights ago. I went home really late. Twas raining hard and I was all wet. Migraine attack. I simply wanted to go straight to bed. I had to quickly check my computer for important messages. One of my...

When disappointment strikes...

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 27 Oct 12

In this life, we'll always experience being disappointed by people. Not because they're failures nor they are simply uncaring. It's just that we are all flawed. And since we have sets of expectations, we are really bound to be...

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 27 Oct 12

Am not sure if it's just me or what but I find maintaining relationships a bit tedious. Especially, when you give more effort and others don't. For me it's a sacrifice one gives when s/he truly loves a person. Not necessarily love...

Ever had friends who do nothing but compete with you?

sharksfin @sharksfin (1091) • Philippines 26 Oct 12

There are times when I find it hard to be around friends who are strongly competitive. Y'know, the kind who just simply wants to always be better than you. You're not competing with them. You're not even exerting any effort to do...
