The wee alien that I have been keeping for awhile has decided to sleep. It changed its color from green to brown which made me more curious. Notice the web that he formed to protect him. Could this be a new spider mutation? The thingy alien kept on sleeping as if it’s dead. Someone recommended me to mist it to keep t

It is on the motivation of 'dara's" blog Rain, this blog came into being.  Thanks dara.

After a very hot day when the dark clouds come and overcast the scorching sky the thirsty sands and mud on the hot ground give its smell with the first drop of the rain.  It is like the entire surrounding is performing the ritual of ablution. I imagine myself to be on the path where there is no traffic around but the green trees on both sides of the road waving with the wind. At the distance far away, all alon

A few months ago I felt nearly severe pain in my back! I had pain in my foot too. I saw four doctors, they gave me pain killers, vitamins  and suggested me not to do any exercise until I get relief from the pain. I followed their suggestions but took less painkillers. Actually they also told me to try to take less painkillers when I could bear the pain and I tried my level best!

Now I am okay, at least I think so. But, if I sit for long hours I still feel discomfort, I feel it pains a little. So,

Hello guys, I saw a title among blogs, named "why we cant stop using smartphones" or someting like that and i want to tell you that "WE CAN". There some reasons of me stopping using my smart phone but there is only one main reason which is that I wanted to see what changes when i dont use my smartphone anymore. It has been one week already and so far things went well. And I can list what things has changed after stop using it.

1. More time to think for things around you.

2. More time for friends.

I am taking the challenge as well!!!

When I was a child I wanted a sister.   

Many years ago my mother got pregnant and I remenber when my parents went to the hospital because the "moment" had arrived!  (at that time you were not able to know if the baby was a boy or a girl. You had to wait that your mother gave birth to know it!), I got anxious, because remember: I wanted a sister! 

I put my elbows over the window and waited for long hours for my father"s return from the hospital. When I saw my fa

It was when I was about five years old. I was sleeping with my parents in an upstairs room, which had a window that lead to a balcony. I woke up at midnight and looked out of the window. Then I saw something white floating in the dark and thought it was a ghost. Though I was very frightened, I soon fell asleep again because I felt my parents would protect me. After that, I became frightened of ghosts when I was a child, but when I became an adult and thought what it could have been, I realized i

Like many of you I also have many unforgettable moments in my life! So, I want to write some more stories one by one. Here is the first one!

It happened many years back, then I was 17 years old. I went to my grandparent's village  to attend in my grandfather's funeral. There we stayed 3/4 days. One day I along with my cousins had bath in the pond. There they made a boat type thing with the stems of the banana tress. We, everybody rode on it. But, suddenly it turned over, I fell down and went unde

Following is my submission on Onee Chan's motivation.

It was a long time ago when I was looking for a job. One of my relatives asked me to visit his house to talk about this how could he help me. He directed me how to reach his house which was situated in a locality of lower middle class where all the houses were on the roadside.  I reached the area and started to count down the houses to find the one where he lived.  I saw a house which looked to be very similar as I was told and at once raise t

Long time ago, when I was 14-15, I wanted my parents to buy me a mountain bike. That time I didn't know that real mountain bikes were 10-20 times more expensive than the regular ones, although they look almost the same.

There were no limits of my happiness and gratitude when I got my own bike on my birthday! But the bike's gear shift mechanism broke down on the next day. It didn't take much time to repair that mechanism, but I was not that excited anymore.

And guess what, I started to learn the st

KEEP SHARING AND PRACTICING ENGLISH! :)

Have you ever experienced something more than you usually ever did before? :) That could be something surprising, something weird, something embarrassing, or even something scary which you can't forget until today. How about writing a story about it in TEN SENTENCES exactly? :)

How to do? You just need to write a blog with the title "Ten Sentence Challenge: My Unforgettable Moment".

Today, I remember one experience in my childhood. Remembering this, I always

Hi MyEC Members,

You know that I love C.S. LEWIS's quotes : You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream. His quote inspired me to set another goal : learning new things and be part of my passion. I learn painting (My Hobby : Digital Painting)  and create handy craft (My New Hobby : Chicken Keychain)

Hi everyone! ^_^

Checking photo collections in my netbook made me think of the words for the pictures. However, I found it not too easy to find the correct words. What about you? I've checked the answers. The answer of each picture is one English word except number 5. Let me know your idea or guessing. :))

* Participants have already found the answers and I wrote them at the bottom of each picture. Hence, you can guess yourself before looking at the answers. Thank you. ^^

1. This is the easiest one

You know when it comes to books I'm a hardcore advocate. Reading them, giving them to friends, family, kissing cousins, hell even random strangers. The point is these days it's really hard to find people reading $#!7. They're busy taking pictures of their new doggy door or the last molar they have removed. 

In France there's a bookstore that's onto something. The Librairie Mollat employees take pictures of themselves and do their best to match their actual photos with book covers. They share the

How a mathematician may feel when fall in love:

O my multiple sweet heart!

Yesterday I was passing by your rectangular house in trigonometric lane. You were there with your cute circular face, conical nose, and spherical eyes, standing in your triangular garden. How geometrical it was felt.  My oblique heart was at its projectile with joy to see you standing at the door like a beauty set in a rectangular frame. Before seeing you my heart was a null, but when a vector of magnitude (reflection of lo

I am a passionate non- native English teacher from Poland. Teaching is a crucial part of my life. With that understanding, I am a lifelong learner.
I am applying a blended learning/ training and flipped classroom method.
The traditional physical classroom settings are not efficient enough for my lessons.
In my opinion, technology gives us countless new possibilities.
As I have already specified, I prefer blended learning, which means taking advantage of both traditional f2f techniques and opport

In fact it was Olga´s blog post that made me write this one. Thinking what I could share there, a book by an austrian psychologist came to mind about which I wanted to report there. It probably had went off topic so that I decided to open a new blog. here it goes:

The name of the psychologist was Paul Watzlawik. And the title is "manual to unhappiness". Paul wrote and collected some short stories of which the following makes me giggle on ocassion:
