Today, I just replaced my old profile picture in MyEC. I chose the profile that described my thought at that moment. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn” and this words attracted my attention much. An idea crossed my mind then, why there was not written “Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose”?  I thought it was matching enough with the original one.

The present situation on the Florida Keys and other Caribbean islands reminds me of that tale. I can't help wondering why people constr

She wakes up in the middle of a flower sea. She wonders where she is. She looks down and is surprised because she never saw this beautiful dress that she is wearing. It is made by white linen, with blood red roses woven into the fabric.

She sits among the flowers. The wind plays with her long, curly red hair, her cheeks are rosy, and her beautiful green eyes wide opened.
