Hello my friends

Though I don't have enough time to be as active here as I would like (it takes me a lot of cncentration and time to write something here) most of the time, only having a few minutes to answer your posts, I decided to spend one hour (or more :)) here to give you a feedback  of a very interesting conference I went to last week. Many of you probably already know much about this topic, but it gives me a good opportunity to start writting here again.

What is it?

Riddles are short poems or texts that ask a question that seems difficult to answer. The following famous riddle by Catherine Fanshawe is talking about something, but what is it?

Special note - this riddle uses the following (old-fashioned) contractions:
'twas = it was
'tis = it is
'twill = it will
o'er = over
e'en = even

--

'Twas whispered in Heaven,
'Twas muttered in Hell,
And echo caught faintly
The sound as it fell;
On the confines of Earth,
'Twas permitted to rest,
And the depth of the ocea

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm glad to inform you that I've been offered a 6-month observership (as an academic visitor) in a teaching hospital in Quebec, Canada, and I will be going there very soon. It's really a dream come true - I eventually got the opportunity to study in an English-speaking country. I hope and am sure that I can improve both English and surgical skills there. I can't wait to hit the road. I'm so excited, but a little nervous about the upcoming trip. I decided it's time for me to share th

Falling Down Hurts: But it Helps Us

I just got a message from a friend who had written weeks ago. He wanted to know how he could speak out loud without being shy and afraid. He worries that people will correct or criticize his speaking. Those who will correct us are our best friends.

Shyness is natural and criticism is important.  If others cannot criticize and correct us we cannot learn. I am now learning Arabic and face the same feelings as you.  I don't like to make mistakes, but it is how I learn the correct way of saying thing

King of my soul

Heart of my heart

I offer you my heart

and be slave of yours

 

You offered me your world

and picked me among flowers

to be the queen of your heart

The master of your life

 

I was blessed with you

when you stormed my heart

I was brought to life

When my soul met yours

 

You made me feel a woman

when you touched my heart

You honored me then

When I became your wife

Family is The Greatest Sanctuary

2346131005?profile=original2346130989?profile=original2346131114?profile=original

A bond amongst relatives is the greatest sanctuary

None in this world will be able to deny it

Even though there are many kinds of bond, but it remains

different

Like the sweetest chocolate it will feel like

Evoking our emotion and affection from the bottom of heart

Love amongst relatives is the true and real one

It will never be falsified, manipulated, or even juggled

Lies at the bottom of our heart

Yielded without any reduction

Always immanent, abide, and will never be gone

Nothing will be able to extin

Writing Challenge #28: Book Love

I'm reading a fantastic book called "The Little Guide to Your Well-Read Life. How to get more books in your life and more life from your books." It is written by Steve Leveen, and I picked it up randomly at the local library. I say randomly, because nobody recommended it and it wasn't on my "to read" list. The title just caught my eye as I was browsing the shelves. If there's one thing I want in life, it is more time to read. I could sit in a bookstore or library for days on end and never get bo

Many people consider that leaving comment on someone else’s blog is not too important because it will waste their time only. They say the most important points are they have already read and got some information from it,  which means there is no need to leave any comment. However, even though a comment seems “tiny”, it possesses a great power they have never known (that's what I believe).

Teacher Tara said,”commenting is equal to blogging”, which means when leaving comment on someone else’s blog,

What is the second conditional?

 

The second conditional is a structure used for talking about unreal situations in the present or in the future. That is the reason why sometimes it's also called as the present unreal conditional.

We use it to talk about a situation that is not real or is unlikely to occur and the imaginary consequences that follow such an unreal situation.

If I had, I would have had my own gallery by now. I would also be happier and more fulfilled in my li
