Dear Captain,

It was a busy month last month. Congrats on me, Captain. I passed the exams and got the tourist certificate. Yeah, I am excited now.

I like staying at home, but I also dream to travel around to other new places. Alas, how I hope myself not timid and dependent! But to get out of my comfort zone and change is so hard. Yet, I am taking the babysteps to change.

It was a happy day. To celebrate my success, Fay and I went to Karaoke. On the way back to our campus, I noticed a new shop near

Great Interview

"What comes first, Day or Night?"


The boy was jolted into reality as his admission depends on the correctness of his answer, but he thought for a while and said, "It's the DAY sir!"

I want to tend to my things
and reduce the rest to rubble
Ripping, bashing
Crushing, picking
I go along the garden fence
And feel the urge again
I must destroy
But only if it doesn't belong to me
I must destroy
But only if it doesn't belong to me

No

I'll take your belongings
I'll annihilate them
Sawing, stripping
Not asking, smashing
And now the supreme discipline
Pulling the head off a doll
Hurting, tearing, corroding
Destroying
But only if it doesn't belong to me
I must destroy

No

I would like to destroy someth

One More Creative Writing From My Past

Note from the Author: This piece was written during a very dark and sad time of my own life. It represents the joy of optimism. One of my favorite English Club friends is enduring some personal tragedies and it inspired me to finally post it. In my opinion, "The sun will always rise tomorrow and life is what it is.". Please never give up on the true love of life. It's well worth the struggle and effort.

My Elusive New Star

is like a friend

      I have countless acquaintances, many friends, some good mates…but only one totally believable partner, WHO always listens to me when I have no one by side, who has never betrayed or hurt me but accompanied me since the first moment I began to cry naturally greeting life, embracing me at anytime I felt fragile and hopeless.  It’s NATURE that is my dearest reliable companion. You should call me a kind of out-of-world or silly when saying that (!!!). Here some reasons that I consider NA my be

A Teacher


    Teaching is the noblest profession, as they say. Well i guess it is true. Because this require dedication of work and love of children you are going to teach. If the teacher doesn't love his work ,it will be hard for her to adjust the kind of work he has. It will be hard for her to be with the children, checking their assignments, portfolio and many others.

    Teaching is one of the most difficult job. Just for the preparation of the lesson plans daily and learning materials require time and
