I'm too excited to get out of the house today, I'm well dressed more than usual as it is the very first day that I will meet the man that I only love. Along the way, I almost passed by a funeral and it caught my attention and it's a bit early so I decided to get out of the car and walk near the gold colored casket to take a peak......I almost fainted as my knees feels like its made out of jellies as it was "HIM" inside.

Bubbles not Bombs

I wish war planes instead of dropping bombs, drop colorful balloons and bubbles. Then kids would run happily to play with them; they would laugh from the bottom of their lungs when they try to catch bubbles not knowing that as soon as they touch them, they would disappear. I wish instead of cartridge guns shoot chocolates, then kids would race to see who would pick more. I wish all the grenades would spread tinsels when they explode with a funny voice instead of horrifying sound.

I wish the horri

Happy National Black Cat Day!

Today is National Black Cat Day. Black cats need a bit of TLC at this time of year, because they are traditionally associated with witchcraft and evil. Some people think it's bad luck if a black cat crosses your path. Of course, black cats are just beautiful animals and deserve to be loved and adopted just like other cats. 

I've written and recorded a Halloween story this year about a black cat that is afraid of Halloween. You can listen to it here. If you want to read along or if you are a teach

Try to memorize it this time

Yes, I mean 'try to memorize the word that you failed to memorize when you first saw it'. 

Some words are hard to memorize, even though you've tried to memorize them with all the means which you think are so effective. 

I agree that 'imagination' is the trick, but sometimes it doesn't work, too. For example, I can memorize the words 'adoption' and 'adaption' with imagination, but it seems there's no way for me to memorize the word 'leper' or 'seism' by using the imagination.  

Sometimes it may have

Thank you for posting this month's Writing Challenge, Luci! Here is my letter to my country.

2347144346?profile=originalDear Canada (my home and native land),

I’m so thankful that I was born in your protective and peaceful arms. That is not to say we don’t have any worries here. Just yesterday, the schools in our region were in a lockdown because of a murder nearby. But, fortunately, these things don’t happen very often in my region. I feel very fortunate to live in a country where most people don’t carry guns.

Your size is

I didn’t know that I was getting into hot water while I declined her chat call.  She got angry and pointed me out that how out of etiquette my attitude was.  She also said though blood is thicker than water, but friendship is also important and it is sometimes proved not blown out of water.  I was really in deep water when tried to pacify her.  It was like dipping a toe into the water.  My carelessness really put me in a position like fish out of water, feeling hard even to breathe.  I was not s

Sharing Is Scaring

Nowadays, the old adage, "sharing is caring" is no longer hold sacred. Though sometimes we seemed to be overly used it and it became cliche, but it seemed that people did not held true to the meaning of 'sharing is caring' especially in this world of social media.

I don't know about your country, but in Malaysia, people like to up-date everything in Facebook, whether it was to whine, to celebrate, or just a simple status telling everyone and anyone that they are in love.

And the worst part of putt

2347138262?profile=originalDear Philippines,

My beloved country, you're an archipelago surrounded with crystal-clear waters. You're a mother to 7,107 islands and islets which you consider as your gems. You're unique in your own ways! I know you're busy fulfilling our needs 24/7, but I'd like you to take the moment to read this letter which I prepared exclusively for you.

You have the most beautiful smile in the world. It's no wonder your people love to smile even under pressure or dealing with a setback. You inject humor in

First I wanted to address this letter to my beloved country like all of you. A land which our parents and their parents and we have grown up and therefore we have a long root in it; a land which every particle of it has become a part of us, a land that has special meaning for us. That’s why we never stop loving our country despite some facts that we might not approve. Like a child who loves her or his parents even when they punish him or her.

Then a thought came into my mind; I always like to fin

Ghalib - the Great Poet

زاهد شراب پینے دے مسجد میں بیٹھ کر
یا وه جگه بتادے جهاں پر خدا نه هو
Zahid sharaab peenay day masjid main baith kar
Ya who jaga bataday jehan par khuda no ho.

These two poetic lines of Ghalib was mentioned in Elf's blog:

Yes, I was just reading the newly posted blogs this morning and was trying to spot a common mistake for a blog challenge. 

It's not always so easy to find a suitable topic or theme for a blog challenge, though. That's why some of the challenges failed to attract our members here. 

Most of my blog challenges are about grammar, words or idioms. That's why I was trying to spot a common learner error in the blogs for a blog challenge. To my delight, I failed to find one, which means our members' writi

Out for a walk.

Yesterday afternoon I went out for a walk with my friends. They were glad to walk. We went to the forest. This forest is near my town and there is beautiful view there. Next to the forest there is a football field where some young guys were playing football. We stood watching the boys playing. Then we decided to go down to the forest. I asked them them why don´t we walk inside the forest. We arrived at a small river and we sat down near the river. We heard the sounds of the water,the birds and s

Dear Lady Iran,


You are the kindest hostess for me


I like to be your guest forever


I like all the foods you make for me


They are the most delicious food for me


Your food tastes love and smells kindness


I like to live in your house forever


Your house is not modern, but for me It’s the most comfortable house


Stay happy for me, Lady!


Always smile, I smile too


Whatever happens to you, I am with you, never leave you alone


Without you all beauties are ugly


Without you birds don’t sing and all springs

One Year on EC

It was on 1st October 2014 when I was searching for more explanation about grammar on Google that I found and joined EC. This kind of site was not familiar to me. I didn't know much nor did I really care if there were so many benefits I could get from here. What I saw here was I could have my own page and I would be able to upload photos. I got comments and made friendship. What about you? I wonder how you could get here.

After a few days, I took a visit again and chatted with some members. Wow!
