I Know myself well. Whenever I decide to do something for new year I’m not strong-willed enough to obtain my goals. At first, I try hard to pursue my goals but soon I got bored and lost my interest.


I haven’t chosen any goal for the new year yet, but I hope to have will-power to reach my goals. The most important thing in obtaining goals is will-power.

It’s been quite a long time that I have not written anything or better to say I have not posted them. Oh, I didn’t know that writing can soothe a person; I feel that there is so much on my mind and so much in my heart, so I felt I must write something. Although I didn’t know exactly what to write, so I decided to take the opportunity of taking part in the challenge of choosing a word for the New Year.

My word would be faith. I always adore people who have strong faith in their beliefs. They are s

I have been thinking for quiete a long time, which word I should choose, which word would the best represent my resoulutions. Of course, one thing is to make a wish, the second one to follow it, right? :-D Well.. I have decided to change myself little bit. Yes, I am talking about my character, nature - whatever we call it. Let's see, if I succeed or fail :-p

My word of the year 2016 is : P A T I E N C E

The change of year Gregorian calendar or usually we call it as ‘new year’ identic with something called ‘resolution’. As I know days are same, they consist of 24 hours daylight and night, I wonder what kind of ’RE-solution’ people are talking about? Are they have problem that haven’t resolute yet a year before? Sometimes it crossed my mind as wishing, to get what they didn’t get it yet, if they did, it’s time to set another new goal then.

This year which will end up soon is a very special year, y

Today is Mother's Day in My Country

What do you know about Mother’s Day?

Mother’s Day is commemorated to appreciate the important roles of mother within family and social environment. Every 22 December Indonesia celebrate this day as Mother's Day, the date itself was determined by Soekarno (The first President of Indonesia) based on Indonesian’s histories and now I will not go into detail for the chronicle of Indonesia related to this theme. Generally some countries such as Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Mal

Education is the key for the success of an individual. I chose 'educator' as my word of the year for 2016 because it is my ultimate goal to be of service in the field of teaching. It sounds promising, isn't it? This club has inspired me to love English even more. I've learned to own it sans the negative notion that non-natives who are trying to emulate native speakers are fake. Ouch! Well, it doesn't matter as long as you have pure intentions to use English for your own self-improvement and care

With so much enthusiasm, I am proud to announce my WORD of the Year for 2016:   SAM

2347184743?profile=original

Yes, SAM will be a favorite word of my lips comes 2016.  She came to our house brought along by a veterinarian on the night of December 15.  After several instructions which I hardly understood, I came to accept SAM in my life.  Honestly, I am not really an animal lover but there was something between SAM’s eyebrows which told me to take pity on this little canine.  She tricked me with that pitiable look! 

She’s ba

My word of the year 2016 is going to be 'kind'. Proverbs 3:3 says, Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart.

I try my best to be kind to those around me, all the time, I hope to continue the same this New year too.

Before I make my New year goal I must admit I wasn't kind to myself at all. Self kindness leads to huge satisfaction in life. So this New year I am going to find a time for myself, now and then treat myself , respect mys

It's not always so easy to choose one word from a vocabulary of 1 million. But we have to choose one for 2016 - another emoji won't do any more. 

I could have chosen the word 'change', but Tara has chosen it for the new year. I have to choose another one instead. My choice is this word: challenge. Yes, it was 'challenge' not 'change' that I chose.  

In the new year 2016, I may work in another hospital instead - far away from where I live now. I'll still save lives in hospital but in a totally diff

My word of the year 2016: happiness

As many other years, what I really want is happiness.Everything is never always like your ambitions. Sometimes I fell that my salary is not high compared with may others. But the truth is I didn’t choose a challenging job. I don’t want to spend 10 hours at work everyday. In my point of view, I want a job which I do not have to work so hard. I want to have time with my dear family. So it means that my salary is not high. Sometimes I wonder if I’m not a smart one, a good one that I can’t earn a lo

Tara is leaving

Yes, our administrator Tara is going to leave MyEC. She's got a new job, a full-time position, and she just announced the change in her new writing challenge. I'm so confused, too - it's the 'challenge' or the 'change' that we need to take. 

She was so sorry to leave MyEC, to leave all of you, but the word 'change' is the one she chose for the new year 2016. 

Maybe you can't believe it or you don't think it's true, but it's the 'change' that you have to accept at the moment, no matter how surprisi

Have you heard about Oxford Dictionaries' Word of the Year? This year it's not a word at all! It's the Tears of Joy Emoji. According to Oxford, this emoji best represents the moods and preoccupations of 2015.

This year is coming to a close, and it's time to starting thinking about 2016. Instead of writing New Year's resolutions, one entrepreneur recommends thinking of a Word of the Year to "be, do, and have". I'm going to try this for 2016, and I hope you'll join me. 2347171289?profile=original

How I started blogging (writing)!

How I started blogging (writing)!

As I have told somewhere here in EC that I am in the habit of reading. I do not have interest to read any specific subject. I read whatever is in my reach, even the scrap of paper I pick up from the floor to throw away. This reading habit built a desire in me that I would write something, but what, I didn’t have any idea. Once I happened to visit a shrine, it was/is situated on the beach. I sat in a corner and looked at the crowds of the people men, women and chi

One of my hobbies is making cookies. I didn’t know exactly when I was falling in love with this activity, but I supposed around 3 (three) years ago and I have been starting enjoying it. This is something that releasing ways of my stress and probably in the future I could be having business in this line. So, since then I have been collecting the recipes from internet and have exercised it by myself at home. Unfortunately I live faraway from my hometown, so I only cooked the recipes when I went h

Imagine you just seated yourself in the airport - waiting for boarding.  That's when you found yourself shaking your legs while seated watching, talking or listening. I just invented this word 'legshakin' for the movement of your legs. I know there's a Chinese word for such leg movement. What do you call it in English? Or can you invent a word yourself for the leg movement?

legshakin ∣noun∣ /legʃeikiŋ/

Example sentence: Legshakin can be so annoying or distracting, but can also be so beneficial for
