Once, I found a startfruit seller tried to deceive my elder sister by reducing the weights. But, I made her fail in doing that. I smiled knowing it and said, "Ma'am, it is still a half kilogram to reach 5 kg." -This was kind of dishonest way to earn money which make others be in loss-

A few weeks ago, I bought two packs of pen and a boardmarker. After counting the charge myself, I knew I should pay IDR 44k and I gave old man a sheet of IDR 100k. What a surprise! He gave me IDR 74

Sadly, GRACE has had to give up as a volunteer Photo Moderator. For personal reasons and her heavy workload, Grace cannot give the time to moderating photos that she feels members need. That's a shame because she helped many members with advice on their photo titles and descriptions. If it's me moderating, I just delete pics without titles as they break the rules! Luckily I don't moderate photos very often and your kind and generous photo mods take time to help members when they can. Grace has b

Good morning everyone!

I guess you already know that our photo Mod, Grace, relinquished photo moderator. She had been a photo moderator for years, I'm not sure how many years exactly, anybody knows? :) Since I became a member of MyEC for almost four years, she always inspired me and many members (I'm sure) to be active in photo section. Her photo challenges are really super creative and oftentimes she greatly appreciated members' photos. Her positive posture and warm friendship really touched eve

It is really tiring!

You are not accepting the one who is meant for you,

and you are running after the one who is not for you. 

Remember, the one who comes to you

is the one who is destined, the sent one. 

And the one who is going away from you is not for you,

It is not necessary that everyone who comes to you, is the sent one. 

Who stays with you always is the one who is the sent one.

When everyone leaves, this is the one who stays with you,

whose face is towards you, and back towards the entire world.

 The FIFA World Cup, 2018 is happening very soon, yes, everybody ( really everybody?!) knows about it and loves it frantically! Really? Some days ago Tina  interviewed some people randomly, let's see!

Tina ( interviewing a  teenage girl): Do you like football?

Girl: Oh, yes, not half, I love it so very much!

Tina:  Great! Then, would you please tell me from when you are into Football?

Girl: Honestly speaking, I am into Football since a few days, it's amazing to think, it has just changed my life, .

"At the 44th minute of the football match, Huda tried to save the goal from the threat of Marcel, but his chest was hit by the leg of Rodrigues. He was still able to move, but then he fell unconscious. A few hours after being brought to the hospital, this goalkeeper died. The victory of his team (2-0) was filled with tears and hysterical weepings of the members and passionate fans of the team in the stadium." (real news, happened in my place, few months ago)

Ridha, a housewife, watched that shock

Hello there.

I'm on cloud nine at the moment. Let me share you the reason of my excitement. I am a teacher at private language school. I teach English as a foreign language. This morning we (teachers) had to carry out the Pearson Test of English (Edexcel), (LCCI ), (EDI) for exam candidates. Before the exam, by chance, we got an inspection from the British Council officials without any ratting and some of us were questioned about examination regulations related to invigilator declaration and atte

Hi everyone,

I request the highest of fives. :))

We all know the upcoming event, the 2018 World Cup, is being held in Russia from June 14 to July 15. Aren't you so excited for that? I, myself, am neither an observer of any football team in the world nor a football game fan. Anyway, the World Cup event seems to always make almost everybody around the globe be in the grip of football fever. What about you?

The World Cup event should also be an opportunity for us to lift our spirits in learning Englis

I am crawling, grovelling and sometimes, I run, nevertheless, I have been moving very slowly to get to the number one hundred blog. Shame on you Dara! People have already done more than four hundred blogs and you are still creeping to get to your one hundred blogs. If you divide those blogs into the number of years on My EC, the outcome or the consequences would be very disappointing.          

Now, I have reached it but honestly, I do not know what to tell the reader? Now, shall I tell him about

  I never write blogs because I am not a good writer. ( So, please, forgive me for my mistakes). But I would like to say a few words about MyEnglishclub.
  Actually, I have been here for five years and seen a lot. Many people come to MyEC for learning. Most of them try to make friends around the world and share any information. Some of people use this site for dating ( despite they signed the agreement not to do that.) And some of members come here just to pass the time.

It's been a time I haven't written anything and after reading Diah's blog, something came to my mind.
As she commented, modern life, apps, circumstances... push us to be sort of lazy so we should find anything that motivate us...

         ...Spinning (or indoor cycling) is a fashionable activity nowadays and sooo funny. It consists on pedalling on a stationary bike to the rhythm of a lively music and following the exercises an instructor is telling us.  The pace and pedal resistance vary during th

Good morning, everyone! :)

I'd like to share a piece of information to dear new members or members who haven't known how to report an issue in MyEC yet. Hope you read this blog attentively.

Second, if you think a member has broken the rules, go to the member's page, click "Report Member" at bottom of page, and fill in form your reasons to re

Are you the one who always checks out the Internet for medical advice for every symptom you have? Are you anxious why you have such symptoms only to find you’re not sick at all?  Then you might be a cyberchondriac! Cyber what???

Cyberchondriac is a combination of the word ‘cyber’ which is related to computers and the Internet (Macmillan Dictionary), and ‘hypochondriac’, a person who thinks he or she is sick but in reality he or she is well or does not have any serious illness. There are people wh

They say that we have to take the wisdom even from the mouths of mad ones. When we are wise we stay safe and with no problems at all. It is a good sense and a good judgment, too. The natural ability to understand things that most people cannot understand. If you fail to see the wisdom in doing something, you have to bear the consequences.

A Terrible Day

It was at midday, and the weather was hot. I went to the kitchenette to find something cold to drink or something sweet to eat, but nothing. I was mulling over the best solution for the problem I faced. Confronting hagridden and callous persons is an unforgettable moment to me. What maddened me that day was their foolery which could harm other people. The hunger I felt deteriorated the dizziness in my head. Before something else aggravated that hullabaloo, I decided to take an imme

We had faced many failures in our life. It may be personal, professional and financial, but life has to move on to take the next steps of our life. Don't dig into the past of your life. It has nothing to mean it.

Sometimes you may hurt a lot of someones, Sometimes someone may insult you, Sometimes someone makes you feel bad or sad, Sometimes you make think why should this happen to me, but let me tell you one thing these are the great teachers how your life make through in a right way.
