sophiecheer I am glad I wasn't among those who are duped to joining those sites! Thinking back to the time I joined mylot, I thought no other writing sites that pay contributors exist except this. If I did, I would have done so and I would have been one of those who...

Discussions and Longer Blogs

Arthur Chappell @arthurchappell (45002) • Preston, England 16 Sep 15

The length of our discussions here varies and many obviously dislike minimalist posts like ‘Do you watch TV?’ while also disliking lengthy discourse on the existential angst of Oliver Twist. As someone who does write such longer...

sophiecheer I'd like the posts to be short but with profound content where I could comment with ease. I do remember part of mylot's guideline was for it's members to compose as many words in a post as much as possible. I haven't read much of the new guidelines since I...

Less is More

Inlemay @Inlemay (17714) • South Africa 21 Oct 15

At the moment my mornings are filled with being a house "foreman" . . moving things around my daughters apartment so that the painting crew can finish off the renovations and paint work to the walls. Its mundane and oh so boring,...

sophiecheer That's a cute encounter. It would have been epic if you got the comment from the workers yourself instead of hearing it from your daughter. The dynamics would have been more interesting. I kinda like the minimalist approach of decorating a place too: less is...

sophiecheer It's nice to know a fellow Kagay-anon here in mylot! And it's a coincidence too that you're living a few meters away from the sea because our house is also situated a few meters away from it. However, our house is separated by a sea wall which prevents me from...

In POLITICAL WORLD, do they know the meaning of the word DIRTY?

Nardong Putik @nardong_putik (135) • Philippines 13 Nov 15

I am a citizen, follower of the society that is governed by so called POLITICIANS and abiding law always. I don't know why people choose to be manipulated or easily influenced by these type of world. The epic battle of William...

sophiecheer It is a sad thing that the very people whom we elect to help us, turned out to be crooks who are out to screw us. I am wondering myself whether they started out as genuine nice people who's philosophy and purpose is to alleviate the country's condition or they...

Different rules for different people

Yasser Mattar @yeezermac (145) • Singapore, Singapore 3 Nov 15

So you see Janice playfully smacking the Manager on the arm. You see Desmond put his hands around the Manager's shoulder. You hear Brandon calling the Manager "bro". So you wanna be as casual with the Manager too, huh? Don't....

sophiecheer It is always beneficial to act professional at all times because that was only expected being part of a workforce. It is the prerogative of the manager on how he or she treats his or her subordinates, and you can't expect to be treated the way others are. You...

sophiecheer It saddened me that the world had come to this. Sadly, wars and terrorism is not a new thing in our world. In fact, it dated as far as humanity started as evidenced by our history. I am one of those that wonder: with the enormous development that mankind have...

If you had the chance to go back in time and change something, what would you change?

Kevin @excellence7 (3647) • Mauritius 1 Sep 15

If you had the chance to go back in time and change something, what would you change? If I had this chance, I would have changed some decisions that I made about my life.

sophiecheer I would probably be more careful with choosing friends. I always have the tendency to place so much trust to a person who doesn't deserve it. People saw that as a weakness, I guess, so some people use that to exploit. I have one particular period of my life...

sophiecheer I don't think it's possible to forget the past. I think they are etched in our memories forever. But what we can do to deal with that is just learn to accept that these bad things happen for a reason; either to teach us a valuable lesson or to guide us with...

The things you miss about being a kid

crunch @Ryanskie (256) • Philippines 10 Nov 15

When I was a kid, I enjoyed all the perks of it. Being able to play at my comfortable time in a day, never thinking about anything. I was only responsible for taking care of myself for what I am always doing. And of course being...

sophiecheer That's a strange sentiment. How about instead of ranting online and hoping that the other person would react, why not approach that person and talk about the issue instead? I think you would reach a more favorable outcome with such approach rather than you...

How long can you hold

Bala @everloving (439) • Chennai, India 12 Nov 15

I dont like the way you laugh

Graceekwenx @Graceekwenx (3160) • Philippines 4 Mar 12
