hi mylotters! I love watching movies. when i was still single and even after marriage just before giving birth, i watched movies especially during weekends. Now that i have a baby and lots of work to do, i can barely watch 1 film. I really missed that hobby. But this weekend, this are quite in place and i watched 3 movies in a row! im so happy!

I miss dancing. I love to dance (improv and mixed ability- for disabled folks- dance styles, especially). I teach, dance, and choreograph dance of that kind or least I used to and it was my main form of exercise, too, but I have done it in about 1 year seriously. I need to start again for health reasons if nothing else. It's hard enough for wheelchair users to get exercise not doing a kind I'm trained in is just stupid and I'm not a dumb person.

I love dancing too. I havent danced since i got pregnant and even after giving birth because i had a ceasarian delivery. Dancing really is a good exercise. I admire you for using your talents and gifts to help others.

I miss most of my hobbies. I used to be an avid photographer, writer, reader, dancer and was active in several sports, but since I've "grown up" and had responsibilities I haven't been able to do them as much, if at all. I'm slowly getting back into things again, but its nothing like it used to be.

I miss to watch movie on movie houses nowadays. It was my past time or leisure when im in college. It remember those time when my professor dont attend our class then me and my friends goes to the mall to watch the latest movie. I also misses those time when i have to read alot of books for our exams, i cant do it anymore since my line of work doesnt deal with books. As time pass by i realize how valuable those experiences are. Time passes and i grow old, responsibility gets bigger and bigger.

When my kids were at home i found it was best that they have a bedtime. That was when i had a little me time to do whatever i wanted. I love watching movies too. When they were old enough we had family time after supper. Usually watching a movie we all agreed upon.

I used to dance three times a week, seprately on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The feeling of dancing with the music is so wonderfull that I am quite fascinate by it. However, I have had my legs hurt in a baseketball match one week ago. All I can do now is sitting at front of the computer and writting words in mylot. How I envy the people who can go out to enjoy sunshine and breath fresh air. I wish my legs can be well soon and then I can dance again.

I love movies too, but reading books is what I miss the most. Like writing it is my passion. There is nothing like escaping in a good book. I hated finishing a good read, it felt like having to say good bye to a good friend. Now that I have a child I am lucky if I get a glance at the Sunday paper!

That's good u find time for the thing you've been missing. For me I'm focusing on my chosen carrier and i missed my dancing life b4. I have a dance group in our place and we have a regular show in 1 of the Mall's back then. i choose not to dance again this time coz those practices took some of my time. I go clubbing sometimes to relieve. happy posting.

i just got married last january and i am now eight months pregnant. what i miss about being single is doing whatever you want to do, whenever and wherever you want it. Me and my husband still do watch movies. but i miss watching the last full show (lasts at around 1am) cause we can't stay out too late these days. I also miss going to the casino. hahaha!

I use to love stamp collecting, I'd collect stamps from all over the world. I've lost interest in it now but the good thing is my two sons have taken it up and I've given them most of my albums to add to. I do have expensive albums that I won't give to them until they are older but for now they are learning and are starting to enjoy stamp collecting too.

Same here. I'm currently pregnant and I missed my hobby very much. My hobby is playing badminton. But now I just can't! T_T I just look at rocket and hold it and swing it. Just like that. And I'll be having my baby soon and I think I still can't play badminton because I have a baby to take care. Maybe it will take me time before I play again. huhu.

I used to be a regular swimmer! I would swim about five times per week and I enjoyed this so much. This was about eight or nine years ago now. As you know though, we are currently facing a financial crisis globally and there just isn't any surplus income available. I would love to return to the swimming pool. I felt so good physically during those years. Instead of the swimming though, I now cycle on a regular basis and I continue to feel fit and well! Like you, I do love to watch movies too. I generally do this at the weekends. I stick the headphones on as I have surround sound with them on and I just indulge myself in a very good movie so that I can escape reality for a while. Happy my lotting. Andrew

I love listening to music and watching old hindi and western movies,I used to do it a lot before with friends and my sisters..but now there is no time for that kind of leissurely activity, everything is so rushed and one hardly gets to do all the things that one likes and does
