Dear Captain,

My memory is getting worse, thus I can not stay in the gerocomium. Much to my surprise, some grandpas and grandmas sent me a few beautiful cards. Oh, long time no see those kind of old cards. They reminded me of my school days.

I am feeling I have been living for many decades. hehehe. I am living a quiet life for the time being. I am getting addicted to diaries now. They help me to remember what I don't want to forget. And thanks for the diaries I've written so far, I can read my pas

it makes my heart melt! whenever im walking outside, seeing those homeless, orphans, beggers, i look at them and see plainly that their biggest dream in this life is to have a shelter, a place that they can call home, this makes my eyes full of tears all the sudden! i feel  more and more thankful for everything i have, the pain they have to deal with and how much they struggle just to pass the day pushes  me to try as much as i can to help them out and ease their pain  sometimes just by giving t

Writing Prompt ~ Almost Vs Almost All

Dear  Claire,

I almost went on holidays. There are just some weeks of work for me to go on holidays. You know, I almost forgot to buy the airplane tickets to visit you in Canada  during the New Years' Eve . There are loads of unfinished reports that my boss said to me to do until Friday afternoon, that's why I haven't travelled yet . Most of my work friends already went on holidays because they advanced all their extra work schedule some weeks after me. So, my

During Chinese National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival in 2012, CCTV [China Central TeleVision] launched an interview program. The jounalists from CCTV went to grass root and asked many of them a question "Are you happy?" This question became a hotly debated topic overnight.

Mickey also watched some of the interview videos, among them some were funny but bitter. The rapidly developing economy brings people better life than before, meanwhile causes people heavier pressures. I was thinking about that

Unconciously, the year of 2013 is going to end. I have done a a great number of things but now i don't where should I go first.

In 2013, i have transmitted from a sophomore to a junior. When i was a sophomore, i always attached huge significance to students' activities. I joined in the Alumni association composed of students only, whose goal was to provide a platform for graduates and students to communicate face to face. Thanks for this, i had the chance to communicate with some excellent gradua

I believe that learning a foreign language is an established training. I've spent my whole life working on mastering languages.
We have to practice every day and should communicate with natives as often as possible.
If we do not have the time or a chance, we will lose our conversational skills.
They say practice makes perfect; whatever I think about this slogan, it seems to be true.
At the same time, I am aware of the fact that I will never speak like a native.
For me, the most noteworthy is com

Dear Hero R,

You haven't been here for a long time, yes? Where have you been hiding, Sir? Can I tell you that I am missing you, so much?

Did you have a nice Christmas? Did Santa visit you? How's your first lady? Do you still keep making coffee for her everyday? Please send my regards to her. ;-)

Is there freaking cold? I guess so, hehehe, what a silly question! What time is it now? Have you had your lovely lunch yet? Do you cook?

Hero R, 2014 is around the corner, do you have any new year wish or pl

In Australia we have many bush fires in the summer months. These bush fires can some times injure people and destroy homes and wildlife. The sun turns a shade of red because of the fires. This photo was taken from the back of my home.

The photo of the Bush Fire Moon was taken at the front of my house. The moon also turns a shade of red.

THE NIGHTS ARE LONG 

Broken hearts and broken dreams

Woken up to many silent screams

My mind does race without a word

I try to yell but I can’t be heard

I lay awake and cannot sleep

My heart does march to miss a beat

The hours drag, the time so long

I lay to hear a bird’s first song

Another night has been and gone

Another night of what can go wrong

I face the day a bothered sight

I dread the coming of this night

I fear it will happen all again

I subject myself to so much pain

My mind must focus and not stra

English Vs Japanese   By Dayne Collins - Academia ESL

Ninjas are badass, I really enjoy sashimi, and Japanese horror films are definitely the scariest.

It's no secret that Japan is the home of many interesting things. Did you know that Japan is also the home to three different writing systems? In English, we have to worry about one alphabet containing 26 letters. Japan has Hiragana, Katakana, and Kanji. Wrap your mind around that!

Just like English, modern Japanese is commonly written from left

Germs

Germs are big, Germs are small

Some Germs you can't see at all

Some are fat, some are thin

All are good for the garbage bin

As a young boy I never really liked school. I was a dreamer,and always thought about being somewhere else,any where but school. I would imagine that I was a great explorer, searching for lost treasure,documenting the many wonders I saw on my way. The teacher would get very frustrated with me. I would of much rather be catching butterflies and chasing the pot of gold at th

JUST ONE MORE HUG

You breathe much life into my day

Just one more hug before you go away

You lift me up when I am down

You make me laugh as if a clown

I feel your heart,beat through my chest

To have this feeling sure is best

You bring a smile onto my face

When I feel my heart to quicken pace

Those days drag on when you’re not here

Just one more hug before you disappear

I long for the next time we do meet

And another hug for when we greet

In your hugs I feel so warm inside

When life itself is a cold still

On my way to my brother's house on Christmas Day, I checked my phone, and found an email from MyEC's video mod Robbie! As many of you know, Robbie lives in the Philippines. None of us had heard from him since early November when Typhoon Yolanda hit his country. We sent messages and worried and prayed. We also worried about Lynne, another active member of MyEC who has been with us since the very beginning. I cried tears of joy to receive the news on Christmas Day that Robbie was okay. The next

I don’t know what I want to do with my life, I just know I want to do it. I want to see my world. I want to meet every single person breathing on this earth. I want to give everyone a hug or a handshake and I want to make someone’s life a little easier. I want to be different than the people I know because that’s what makes us beautiful.
