Are you a chocolate lover?

2346256551?profile=original  Chocolate has a variety of brands, textures, and types. But, why is it one of the favorite desserts of every person? People, young and old find eating chocolate is an indulging experience. It actually depends on the brand and type we eat.

  I think one of the best types of chocolate is the dark chocolate. Some of my favorite brands are Patchi and The Old Gold Original Dark Chocolate of Cadburry. Researchers say that eating dark chocolate (about 100 mg per day) would help prevent certain cancers

“Happyyyyy Biiiirthday tooooo youuuuu

Happy Birthday dear Canadaaaaaaa

"Yeahhhhhhh", shouted the people.


This was what Canadian citizens and I sang on Friday, July 1, to celebrate Canada Day. In the beginning, Canada wasn’t a united country. Instead, it was consisted of different and separated provinces. In 1867, all the provinc

Old Clocks

 

I love old clocks. I lie in bed, restless, craving for sleep, staring with my sick of staring eyes in the nothingness and I can hear the seconds bursting dead in black silence and falling slowly down as snowflakes and then, only then you can FEEL time. Nowadays nobody teaches the children that the clocks make that tic-tac sound because they…don’t make that sound any more, do they? What we have is numb clocks.

 

I love old phones. The ones with the old dials. You put your finger in the hole and di

2346251470?profile=originalDo you remember, Tara wrote a post about William and Kate's wedding which took place in London more than a month ago and asked you  your thoughts about it.

Today, i 'm going to talk about the second "Prince" wedding of the year, the one that took place 2 days ago in the Principality of Monaco.   


First, let me tell you a few things about this tiny and very rich country.

The Principality, which is a small "city-state" of about 2 square kilometers, sits along the Mediterranean sea on the French Rivi

This was my first blog in this site. I post it again because Nadira has challenged me to write something about chat. Sorry Nadira, I am too lazy to write a new one :D :D :D

 

Well, actually I was also thinking of writing about my meeting with a friend on her wedding day that I knew from an exchange language site. We finally met after about eight months chatting and texting. She and I are member of this site too. But nah, I am too lazy now ^^

 

So here we are. Hope you haven't read it Nadira :D

This is just a seal of anime characters.

Normal cup "yakisoba" doesn't have this kind of things! 
However, this product is a made of collaboration with anime, "K-ON!!".
So, it might be a good bonus for "K-ON!!" fan

According to the great blogger, Seth Godin,

 

"If you're going to work....."

 

We have to work efficiently. Most companies are strict when it comes to employee's performance on work. We have to compensate money and benefits that the company provides to us, in return for our labor. As we all know, our work is our "bread and butter".

 

As I see it, if we work efficiently, there would be a chance for growth and promotion. Your boss or the company would see you as a model employee to others. Indeed, he or

I hope you’ll excuse me if my words hurt you. My main goal is not to insult anyone who chats or to condemn the act of chatting. However, I would like to share my personal experience in the chat room, which wasn’t pleasant at all.

 

The first thing that deeply hurts me to the core is to see my friends fight over a different opinion. Imagine, different members from different social class with different background are in the chat room. As such, they may have various opinions about religion, race

My New Country and my Night Job

Every Saturday through Wednesday night, I am teaching English to adults in a Private English Language Institute.  People pay to take English classes here after they have finished

There are many ways to celebrate birthdays. Generally they have a party and which would by attended by family or friends by inviting them to eat together at a restaurant. Convenience as the availability of a birthday cake, and other delicious food, cards, candles and all that goes to celebrate.

Wordless Wednesday #9

WORDLESS WEDNESDAY WINNER:  Ranu who wrote: "This little girl is a future scientist. So she says (the caption):

"Do you know that there are more than 100 products made from pork?"

 

I chose this one because this is something she would probably say. This kid knows far too many facts for her age because she memorizes every word she reads!
