Good day my fellow MyLotters,

Some of us here in MyLot are from a tropic country like me, I am from Philippines. And there are times or seasons that we feel a very hot climate. It is very irritating to our body when we feel hot or we have sweat a lot. During at night it is very difficult to sleep, when we are having a hot climate angry. I am not a rich guy, so what we use to lessen the heat is to use our electric fan, we have 2 electric fans in our room, and it is a great help for us lol. If I could only have some money, I would buy an Air Conditioner. How bout you my fellow MyLotters, what do you use, electric fan or Air Conditioner?

God bless.
Happy MyLotting thumbup.

Like you i am from a tropical country. It is always hot here but i don't use the air-conditional unless the heat is intolerable. Fan is definitely good enough for me. But i have some friends whom switch on the air-con everyday. I find it a waste of electricity.


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

Good day tessl87,

You are lucky cause you have an air conditioner, and you are right about fan, they give us great help lol. Air condition consumes high electricity, and it can easily blew up our electric bills sad. By the way, from what country are you from? Thank you for your response.

God bless.

Hi i am from Singapore. Not sure if you heard before. But it is quite close to your country.


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

Yeah I heard about Singapore and I know that it is really close here in Philippines, it one of the country that I wanted to visit. I hope someday I can visit your country.


myLot reputation of 64/100. tessl87 (100)   ranked 17,397 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

Great to hear people hoping to come to my country. Normally most people i talk to have never heard of Singapore. Guess we are too small=x
Hope to be discussing about my country with you one day after your visit. Always like to hear what people tot of this country.


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

I would love to do that and I want to learn more about your country. One of my co-employee from my previous company always go to your country, he visit her wife that used to work there in Singapore. I also like to work in your country, I heard that IT is very popular there lol.

hmm, these 2 months, it really becomes very hot here too.
but it's enough for me to sleep with the fan on when at home. i even put small quilt on when in the evening. maybe cause the room has a good airiness. thumbup
but when in the office, we turn on the aircondition. wink


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

Good day yolanda19191,

We are both lucky during office hours, cause in my work place there is also an air conditioner, but sometimes it makes me feel cold when I am at office, cause I think my body can get use to a very low temperature lol. Thank you for your response. And by the way, what country are you in?

God bless.

Aircon is very expensive and it can consumed so much electricity. I also here in the Philippines we also use electric fan because we can't afford to buy aircon. Only rich people can afford it. Now that the electricity here in the Philippines is expensive I think using aircon is not practical for ordinary people like us. Now that it is raining I like it very much because I can sleeps better. During summer season it's very difficult to sleep because it is very hot.


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

Good day yolanda19191,

So we are both from Asia. Good to here this.


myLot reputation of 97/100. yolanda19191 (727)   ranked 5,401 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

luckily, seems here the air-condition is more common than before. we are not rich either, but my friends and some relatives are using it when very hot. dont worry, the a/c will be cheaper and cheaper, and later most people can use it.


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

Good day agv0419,

You are absolutely right, it is not practical for us to use an air conditioner, because the electricity here in our country are pretty much higher than the other country.


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

I know it will be more cheaper, cause most of the appliances now a days become cheaper. Can't wait for that, so that I can buy myself one.


myLot reputation of 82/100. neelianoscet (2038)   ranked 991 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

I used aircon when we have a lot of visitors in the house. Now, their are only three people in my house..all of them have their own electric fan. This is the way to cool down at the same time saving in electrical bills...


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

I think it makes your visitors stay at your house more comfortable, because you turn on your air con when they arrived.

hi, in my mother country china, my home has two air cons, but my parent don't always use air con, their body is not good enough to endure cold of air con very long, and they don't like living without fresh air and ventilation, so only i have use the air cons.(laugh)

In Japan, a lot of companies set the temperature of air con to 22? below, because japanese salaryman must put in suit all the year round, in summeray you can see many men wear suits walking on the rpad, 22? is extreme cold, companies spread cold air out to make outer air cool, so people on the road feel cool, however, in my company i feel too cold, finally my body gets uncomfortable and my leg gets weak, i don't want to sit inside extreme cold air.

Seem we people of East Asia who are used to live in warm zone can't only endure high-temperature but endure pole cold,so we are rather rich and buy a large number of air cons,but it costs the price that is we cost too much electricity fee,the result is dangerous for our using electricity is stopped somertime, and air cons pollute the aerosphere

sweet.... just i feel i become an environmentalist. (laugh)


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

Good day ayukawasouhiko,

Wow you got two air conditioner in your house, your house maybe so big, maybe you could give me one of them if your parents don't use it lol. I am just like you too, in our company I am the one who always complain about the air con, cause its too cold for me, that my hand almost freeze. I cannot withstand to stay in a so cold place.
Thank you for your response and for sharing your experiences.

God bless.

Hi Brienn,

We have air con in our home. But these are only used when there is unbearable suffocation due to over humidity and hotness. But most of the times we use only fans and that too ceiling fans. In the evening I use to have some relaxationcool so I'll switch ony my AC. But most of the times electric fans.. Cheers. Gos bless you... Happy mylotting... thumbup

We call that electric fan as table fan in our country,India.There is ceiling fans and we should not confuse with it.Yes!We too use table fans in summers while sleeping.While a ceiling fan circulates the air inside the room,the table fan can be kept near the window to get the cool air from outside.Cheers!


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

Good day srganesh,

You got your own word for electric fan and it is table fan, but why you have called it that way, just because it is put on table? lol There's a lot of people like us who still use electric fan or table fan to lessen heat during summer while we are sleeping. And you got a nice idea of putting the table fan near window. I sometime put some ice in a small basin and place it in front of our electric, it gives more cooler air cool. Thank you for your response.

God bless.

I use a fan at night, but during the day, when we have very hot days, I use the air conditioner, I don't like being hot,I like to stay ccol as I can in the summer, I just lost my apartment, and the air conditioner I had there, made the apaprtment there very cold, but that was good for those very hot days, but at night I had to turn the air conditioner off. happythumbup


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

Good day notlistening2,

You are one of those people who have air conditioner in their. There are lots of people like you who has an air con, but didn't use it always, cause I think because an air condition consumes a lot of electricity and it will just make your electric bill to become high. Thank you for your response.

God bless.

10. myLot reputation of 64/100. photobug (134)   ranked 5,328 out of 35,332 in people   5 months ago

I have air conditioning, but I also have fans. I use fans unless it's extra hot and humid. I think ceiling fans work the best, and a window fan is good if there is cool air outside. Often the inside of the house is hotter than outdoors because of where the windows are placed. My bedroom has one window and is the hottest room in the house. The living room and kitchen area has windows across from each other, so a cross-breeze can come through. I have some special window blinds to keep the hot sun from coming in during the day. A long time ago in an older house, I hung up blankets.

One time my air conditioner broke and I couldn't afford to fix it that summer. In order to sleep, I placed a fan on a table at the foot of the bed. I had frozen some water in plastic gallon containers during the day, and at night I placed the container about 8" in front of the fan. The air from the fan was a little cooler because if was blowing across a cold surface. If you have more than one fan and more containers to freeze water in, you'll be even cooler. I usually woke up once because I became hot when the ice melted. I went to the freezer to get another gallon of ice water and replaced the melted one.

Another trick is to use a spray bottle, fill it with water and spray the sheet you cover up with. The coolness doesn't last long, but it helps. During the day, I wet a towel and wrap it around my neck to keep cool. Putting your feet in a tub of cold water helps, too.


myLot reputation of 93/100. brienn (405)   ranked 1,683 out of 35,332 in people  5 months ago

Good day photobug,

You got a bright idea about the freezing of gallon of water and place it in front of the electric fan, I use to do that do but in a different way. I used to put ice in a basin and place it in front of the fan, so that even the ice melts it wont mess on the floor happy. It really helps a lot on production of cold air. Thank you for your response and for your bright inputs on how to lessen the heat during summer cool.

God bless.
