Clock and watch?...I need both...

shia88 @shia88 (4571) • Malaysia 5 Nov 10

Dear MyLotters, For me, I need both clock and watch for my life. I have clock at every single room in my house(from living room,bedroom,dining room),so that I feel convenience when I need to see the timing. As for watch, I...

wahmivy I'm thinking of wearing watches again. I never liked to because they made my wrist sweat (and the material - be it metal, leather, rubber... usually irritated my skin too. I think it was more the sweat and chafing than an actually allergy). Anyway since...

wahmivy In my case, after being late for two days (we were really trying so I was looking out for it), I bought four test kits, used three myself and made my sister use the fourth. Mine all showed very clear two lines and hers didn't. I was too excited though and went...

Obama ignores 87,000 people

laglen @laglen (19759) • United States 30 Aug 10

Glenn Becks rally had an estimated 87000 people as cited by a CBS source. Obama in response said, [i]“It’s not surprising that somebody like a Mr. Beck is able to stir up a certain portion of the country. That's been true...

wahmivy I thought the rally numbered in the hundred thousands. I read NBC and CBS were more conservative about the estimate and gave six digits, and the conservatives are more liberal about theirs and insist that the attendance reached seven digits... I'm not American...

Does the bond become stronger when you face problems together?

devijay78 @devijay78 (1573) • India 30 Aug 10

A few days ago my husband was cheated of our savings by one of his close friend. He is still trying to recover the money. But one good thing which has come out of this is that we have become closer and our bond has become...

wahmivy I guess strength comes from the right attitude and you and your husband seem to have that. If you choose to endure hardships together, then your bond is fortified. Episodes like this in your relationship are tests. It is a question of commitment because the...

what is the difference of Hillsong and Hillsong United?

applepod @applepod (224) • Malaysia 4 Sep 09

What is the difference between them? Are the the same people?

2 responses

wahmivy Hillsong, I think, is the worship team and Hillsong United is the band. The people in HU are also members of the worship team, but they have their own gigs and they cater to a younger crowd. Their songs are also much heavier sounding.

How did Hillsong become so popular?

Do listen to religious songs of the band Hillsong?

katkat @katkat (2378) • Philippines 23 Jan 10

I like listening to pop, pop rock, r and b, and other genre, but listening to religious songs is nothing compare to the aforementioned genre, which loses appeal or fame after some time. Hillsong is a band which I recommend if you...

Do you like answering magazine quizzes?

myswirlyagelessmind @myswirlyagelessmind (379) • Philippines 27 Jul 10

Most magazines have quizzes in them and I like answering them for the heck of it. The results are often debatable but I find the situations given rather intellectually and emotionally stimulating. Oftentimes, I wonder how my...

wahmivy The magazines I read now don't have them, but once upon a time when I was reading teen ones, I used to. It's fun. Now, for a dose of inane quizzes, I pop on over to Blogthings. They have everything from What Is Your Hippie Name to What Kind of Pizza Are You......

How do you repel mosquitoes?

myswirlyagelessmind @myswirlyagelessmind (379) • Philippines 27 Jul 10

The damp season's here again and mosquitoes are in a sucking frenzy. I'm wary about them for they carry all sorts of diseases like malaria and dengue. Honestly, I don't feel like spraying the house often with insecticide because...

wahmivy By being ugly, lol. Seriously, I don't know how. They love me and want to devour me alive. I do what I can with bug repellents (organic, herb-based ones). Some of the products I've tried are oils and patches. Of course, there's also Off, but I try to go...

what are your daily efforts in staying healthy?

myswirlyagelessmind @myswirlyagelessmind (379) • Philippines 12 Jul 10

wahmivy It's not consistent, but I've been exercising in the mornings. I also try (the operative word) eating healthier, but living back with the folks means I don't get as much control over my meals. I also take vitamin supplements, but just half the recommended...

how do you feel when people around you cuss so much?

myswirlyagelessmind @myswirlyagelessmind (379) • Philippines 12 Jul 10

honestly speaking, i abhor people who use foul language excessively, it's disrespectful and cheap. people who are not careful with their words bring a lot of stress to the people they deal with. Personally, it's an inadequacy of...

wahmivy It's grating. Of course, if you even stop to consider the actual meaning of the words they're saying, then it's even worse. Most of those words indicate excrement, vulgar acts and other unmentionables. It is pretty stressful having to listen to that kind of...

are you OC about hygiene?

myswirlyagelessmind @myswirlyagelessmind (379) • Philippines 12 Jul 10

wahmivy I'm quite finicky, but not necessarily OC. I carry hand sanitizers and wipes, but that's mostly because I have a daughter. With a little girl to deal with, I wish I was more OC, but there are lots of I'm-sure-they're-disgusting things get past me. Sometimes, I...

wahmivy It certainly does. I remember what it was like being a student without the Internet. Kids nowadays have it much easier. However, having things this easy doesn't really build much character. A lot can still be said about doing things the old school way.

bestfriend aside from boyfriend/girlfriend

juggerogre @juggerogre (1653) • Philippines 5 Jul 10

Hillsong Music discussion

Hillsong Music rocks the contemporary gospel music throughout the world, their way of presenting gospel music has been widely criticized by some people but as far as for me they surely moved me.................

wahmivy I understand the concept behind Hillsong. I don't approve of its entirety, but generally, it's a good thing and I have to admit that they've produced some awesome songs (mostly the ones written by Reuben Morgan). I don't cotton to the rock side of it - a lot...

wahmivy Well, the Charice's rendition at Pres. N. Aquino's inauguration earned approval from the National Historical Institute, so I guess that's a high honor indeed. Anyway, I've heard many chorales sing the national anthem perfectly, taking note of every forte and...
