Poly: (Many)

Polygamy means a system of marriage whereby one person has more than one spouse. Polygamy can be of two types. One is polygene where a man marries more than one woman, and the other is polyandry, where a woman marries more than one man.

LLOYD

You can't please all of the people all of the time, and the world is not full of academics . . . so it's not surprising that usages which are not to be found in Fowler are used on the air. They reflect more nearly the way most people use English.- Michael Lloyd, broadcaster, in a letter to The Listener

IN THE PARK

IN THE PARK

Nothing is more pleasing for me than putting my feet on the green velvet of the grass, especially when it is covered with glittering pearls of the morning dews. It gives me a ticklish sensation, penetrating from soles, conducting throughout my soul. I feel myself in the cool sphere, closed eyes, but still seeing me covered with white cold mist, calm and quiet, so contended like a baby in the lap of mother, the lap of mother nature. Though a few moments, but this is the outcome of life

SCHIZOIDS

Alfred Noyes (1880-1958) was an English poet, whose "The Highwayman", a short poem, is well-known. His surname NOYES attracted me very much because it contains NO and YES, the antonyms of each other. In English there are other such words that incorporate their opposite number. Such words are called SCHIZOIDS.S(HE)T(HERE)Y(OURS)OUTING (OUT, IN)HIGHLOWWELLINGTON (WELL, ILL)

Dear Captain,

I am in a very low mood now.

Yesterday was Sunday, and I went back home after being out for a long time staying in the gerocomium. I enjoyed my Sunday. However, when I came back to my workplace, I was told that Grandpa Mi had passed away...I couldn't believe it. Yet as I rushed into his room, only to find a vacant white bed.

His innocent smile is still so vivid in my mind. He was the oldest man in the gerocomium, and stayed here for a very long time. Before I came here, Jane tak

DO IT NOW!!!

Dear friends! This post is dedicated to one of my best friend in EC - :) 

        Now is the right moment to do all the things you have been delaying till "Later". We have an overrated trust in life, in time; Even though they actually always betray us. We soon realize that there's no "time" to do what we always wanted, & what we never considered we may be unable to do someday. Nothing is guaranteed. So do it now; while you still can.

The past isn't really past if it's still living in your heart.

Dear Captain,

Long time no contact. How's everything?

This time I don't want to talk about my work. Instead, I'd like to raise another topic. I'm sure you have a very excellent sense of directions since being at sea you need that skill. I can not distinguish west or east, just know left and right [sometimes even mistake them, hehehe]

Having a bad sense of directions keeps me indoor especially at nights. Last Saturday eveing I got lost when shopping with my workmates in the gerocomium. Finally they
