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.

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

 The process of evolution of languages is so wonderful , because it makes us notice the way which we express, also follows the rising changings of our technological era.

Writing Challenge: Root Words

 Root Word ~ phon: voice, sound

Struggling to be a good phonetics student

  What makes me to move ahead in the process of learning a second language is the possibility of not only speak it, but also speak it phonetically correct.

  That's why I'm giving more importance to the English phonetics through the  study of IPA chart sounds for some time now.

  It's like I wanted to have all the phonemes highlighted to the maximum in my voice when talking to other persons.

  This way, I intend to get rid of c

Writing Challenge: Root Words

A root word is the basic form of a word without a prefix or suffix. Every word has or is a root word. Compound words have two roots. The root word provides the basic meaning of a word.

Bleeding hearts

2346713245?profile=original

 

In one of my previous blogs, I was talking about some people who hurt other people by their bad words and attitudes and I used this sentence "This kind of attacks leaves behind deep wounds and bleeding hearts."  And in order to stress on the meaning, I wanted to use a pic of a heart with some blood and wounds. So, I went to Mr.Google and chose “Images” and typed “Bleeding hearts” and instead of having hearts, blood and wounds I found this ......

Point of view

 Today is going to be a very long day. So much things to do in only 24hs thats unfair. I think days have to be of 27hs or 29hs i don´t know, it´s sounds stupid but it will be very convenient for many people, you know; people will sleep one hour more and they will be  more calm of doing their things.

 I think people are always in a hurry of doing things quickly and easy; that is wrong for me... we only have one life and every day is special and unique. We have to enjoy those days as they are the l
