Saba was working on the farm, a trailer was passing on the road, it was loaded bags of chemical fertilizer, the road was winding near the river, and when the driver was turning the wind, the trailer was overturned.

Saba and some villagers were watching that horrible scene, the front of the trailer was on fire, and if the fire came the back of the vehicle where the fuel tank was, the trailer would explode.

No one would dare come close to a vehicle whic

I wonder why I decided to start writing this blog about a contradictory topic as "Death and what happens next". I guess it happened after watching this awesome philosophical cartoon by Alan Holly.

Watch it first, please (by the way, it's in English so you can improve your listening skills as well).

Some sentences are CUT OUT FOR the meaning.)

Being an English teacher actually is not my big dream. It just happened that I studied my undergraduate program majoring in English Education and graduated some months ago. Actually I have ever had a teaching practice during my internship program. I also had my undergraduate thesis research related with teaching stuffs, so I think I can overcome my nervous :D 

Yet, in fact, I started to work as an English teacher some weeks ago, teaching 7th graders and I still couldn't handle them -_-
