In life, it's my belief that the very best learners of good humor and comedy have earned their expertise through hardship, pain, and suffering.

Please,.. stop reading now!!!

The overwhelmingly vast majority of people that I joke with on this site simply make my day with a shared chuckle over this "Information Super

WHY DO STARS TWINKLE :-

The scientific name for the twinkling of stars is stellar scintillation (or astronomical scintillation). Stars twinkle when we see them from the Earth's surface because we are viewing them through thick layers of turbulent (moving) air in the Earth's atmosphere. 

Stars (except Sun) appear as tiny dots in the sky. As their light travels through the many layers of the Earth's atmosphere, the light of the star is bent (refracted) many times and in random directions. This r

Dear MYEC friends, I'm so sorry to tell you that I'm not From Egypt. I'm from Damascus – Syria.  I'm not a cheater but somethings shameful happened with me that made me change my home country here in EC. First of all I wanna tell you that I can't bear acting like liars, I feel guilty when I see how all of you think that I'm Egyptian where I'm not. I didn't wanna disavow my home country, It's just a necessary reaction toward what happened to me, so read my story and understand

Have you ever been a leader? For example, have you ever been in charge of a group at school or been the captain of a sports team? If so, what challenges did you face as a leader?Think of a leader you admire. What makes this person a good leader?

Sweety had a great post about some gifts she received in January. She challenged members to share a photo of a gift they had received recently. Sahar shared a beautiful post with a collection of gifts. This inspired me to collect a few gifts that my family received recently. I have a little story to tell you about each gift in this collection. Please use the comments to take a guess about one of the gifts you see. Guess who it was for, who it was from, or why it was important to me or my family

Hello everyone. 

One issue that makes people say they haven't improve their English is time. I know that we live in a world that seems to go faster. However, we have to find time for everything we need to do.

The Tale of Henkei :

"..Tomoe was especially beautiful, with white skin, long hair, and charming features. She was also a remarkably strong archer, and as a swordswoman she was a warrior worth a thousand, ready to confront a demon or a god, mounted or on foot. She handled unbroken horses with superb skill; she rode unscathed down perilous descents. Whenever a battle was imminent, Yoshinaka

In our everyday lives, our friends influence us the most, aside from the family. No wonder friendships are one of the most important relationships that directly affects our emotional, social, and psychological state on a daily basis. They are more often intense than any other type we may encounter in life. Spending time with friends is a valuable treasure nature can offer.In this relation, we are discovering stuffs,learning how to create our own fun & develop a world using our creative imaginati

Yes, it's a common theme in the beginning of every January. All of us tend to make new year's resolutions. Just because everybody wants to change his life, more or less. And maybe the ultimate new year's resolution should be to reach a harmony with your life and stop making new year's resolution at all, shouldn't it? 

But, in fact, every year everybody promise to himself stop or start doing something. And me is not an exception. I've fixed 4 goals for this year, not simple one. That's why if I b

These are my precious gift from my dear friends.

When I saw  sweety's blog, I liked that I have one blog about my gifts too.

After almost a year of being away from MyEC, I started missing it.  But now that I'm back, I feel lost and uncomfortable.  Strangely enough, even after couple of hours of wandering here and there, it seems like I still couldn't find my way around.  The site appears to have changed a lot.  And there's just so many unfamiliar names.  Most of my old friends seem to have disappeared from MyEC as well.

But just like the old days, I only wish to be of good help to other members again, especially the be
