Hi guys. My full name is Nixie Wulandari. I’m 14 years old in February. Everybody calls me Nix or Wulan. I’ll tell you who are in my family. First there is Dad, Edward Nakamura. He works for the International Health Institute near my school, Jackson High School. This school was built by Michael Jackson’s fans to memorize him. Second is my Mum, Margaret Ann and I call her Mum Ann. She is a part time Spanish teacher in my school. I have 1 big sister and 1 big brother, which makes me the youngest.

What a young lady she is! So versatile, so prominent, so adventurous and so daring! Perhaps, she doesn’t know how great she is. If she did, she wouldn’t spend so much time praying. God she prays endowed her with everything any girl can only dream about. He heard her prayers. My friends, what I am talking about? It is nature that endowed her with flexible body to dance so bewitching, a sharp tongue to argue with teachers, keen mind to parry my blows. If she likes, I will say that God only helped

She is a WOMAN, what else to say? Let me concentrate as thinking about her blows off my mind! She is a WOMAN, what a magic word! It is so comprehensive, so meaningful and so mysterious! She is a WOMAN in everything she does, even in choosing her avatars. They reflect her inner world and her mood. They tell us much more than they are supposed to! But let's leave them alone as there is much more to say. She is unique like any woman, but her uniqueness is so special! Her grim humor on the verge of

My dear little friend, I know well,

I can’t be your mum, similarly sister,

Any girlfriend or will not be wife,

Also, I know well, I can’t see you,

I can’t meet you, I can’t touch you,

Because I’m only your angel, as you told,

But if you were anywhere,

I’m always thinking,    

If I could, hold your face on my chest,

If I could touch your head motherly,

I can feel you that much,

 I can read your innocent eyes.

Really, I hear your Voice of heart,

When you are crying, Cried me too a lot,

Because you belong my hea

This on the motivation of Luci's Writing Challenge: Who Am I.

It's Me

I am an aging matured man of average height and build (70 to 75 Kgs in weight). I have short shining silver/gray hair,  usually have a center parting, and seldom comb them back. I have French Cut beard and mustache. I have dark blackish brown eyes and eyebrows neither bushy nor thin.

I am a realist as well as an idealist. I am habitually reserved and quiet. I mostly do not exhibit my love and emotions. I am very cautious and disc

As I’d like to make this blog humorous, I will write a story.

Morning… 5 am. Most of ME is still sleeping, but some restless indefatigable part of ME is already up and wants me to do the same. No, no…. It is too early. I am lying still without opening my eyes unwilling to surrender the peaceful darkness. But that importunate part of me persists and gets its way. It makes me get up and feel my way to the bathroom. No sooner have I got there than I see somebody in the large mirror.

I ask: “Who are y

It all started one December night a few decades ago. On this special day somewhere in the middle of Eastern European "jungle" full of polluted air it happened. Awesome little Capricorn came to its existence! Yeahhhh... Alien was born! I was born!

Believe it or not but my mom used to say I was a very nice, obedient baby, who was able to wait at one place for hours - in other words - where they left me, they found me (cute dog, right?) Later on as my physical body was growing of course my personali

My friends, dear learners, I am really happy to see you are trying to do your best correcting my horrible sentences. But I also see that no one knows how to say the sentence 8 correctly. So, here are my explanations.

If we use the verbs TO WANT/NEED after a subject defining a living thing, they are always followed by the infinitive.  But if a subject is non-living thing, these verbs are followed by the gerund. Here are some examples:

She wants to know the details.

You need somebody to give you some

Do you like psychology?

Do you think, you know yourself the best or you may surprise or even shock yourself with some of your reactions? How do other people around you percieve you? What is your opinion on some of your EC friends? Can you describe them?

Well, here is my Writing Challenge, which might look little bit difficult or hard as your task will be EITHER to share something about yourself OR to share your view on EC member you consider your friend and know something about them... 

Haha, come

He walked to that narrow dark alley and he got some plans on his head. Tonight he will do it, whatever it takes.

His steps were almost stumbled, but there’s no slightest slipped as he headed his way home as he was gone for days experienced nearly his deathbed. He stopped at the front of neighbor’s store, “give me one cigarette”, the lady vendor gazed who he was and surprised was written on her face. She handed the cigarette, the man lit it up and turned back. “Hey Gido, where’s your payment?”

The power of love

Longing becomes fulfillment.
Hope becomes certainty.
Loneliness becomes togetherness.
Two bodies becomes to one body.
Isolation becomes unity.
Feeling becomes passion.
Earth becomes heaven .
Sadness becomes happiness.
Doubt becomes trust.
Devil becomes angel.
Day becomes night and night becomes day.
Two hearts compose one song.
You get wings and your souls want to fly to the moon
You hold the stars in your hands.
Nobody can stop you.
There is no pain, no guilt,
only

My friends, I am posting my regular grammar test as I usually do at the beginning of the weekend. If you are tired of my tests, just tell me, but I see you are learning and most of you started writing much better as I do read your blogs and comments on different discussions. So, let's go on learning if you like.

This test is not as easy as the previous one. You should pay attention to the word order, the nonfinite forms of the verbs, the tenses, voices, prepositions, articles, comparisons, and so

The use of an inappropriate filter destroys the signal, which has a high differential insertion loss in the signal frequency range or does not match the transmission line impedance. Therefore, do not choose the filter that will affect the signal quality before insertion.

If the transmission line does not match the impedance characteristics of the common mode choke coil signal reflection or other phenomena will occur and affect the signal quality. Signal lines related to the requirements of the

The idea is not new. It's about making the member of the year as on the American magazine, Time. Every year, the moderators with the other members of the administration choose the member for the new year. Talents play a great role in making the person unique. Hard working with these special abilities can allow someone to perform well. He or she can be given a reward. We do not mind sharing in that reward. For instance, each member pays a dollar once he or she joins the website. For old members,

Today I will tell you about illogical comparisons and how to avoid this mistake.

An illogical comparison is one in which unlike entities have been compared.

Here are the examples of the illogical comparisons, they all are incorrect:

His drawings are as perfect as his instructor.

(This sentence compares drawings with instructor).

The duties of a policeman are more dangerous than a teacher.

(This sentence compares the duties with a teacher).

So, when you use a comparison, be sure that you compare the sa

See football game, those score will win the game. How to score? Bring the ball to net. How many short your team did is not important. How many balls reached the net, that make the game winner. 

In life, ball is our mind, it will move to different persons legs. May be your team members feet or opponent feet. Everybody wants to score also. In life, everybody want to score, So we need to take our mind only to positive thoughts like your team members feet. Then you can score also you can win. 

The bachelor thesis is the ultimate final exam. If you’re uncertain whether you’re going to enroll in a master’s program or not, then it’s your last struggle in student life. This thesis proves that college formed you properly and developed you as a person that is capable of good academic writing and responsible research. Now it’s time to get to the proverbial writing. Let us provide you with some rules you have to follow to make sure that your BA thesis will be as great as it can possibly be.

My friends, reading your answers on my tests, your comments and blogs, I see you don’t always use these verbs correctly. So, I will explain them.

USED TO + the infinitive. We use it when we want to say that we had some habit in the past, but we don’t have it now.

I used to smoke (It means I smoked but quitted. I don’t smoke now).

When young I used to visit the swimming pool almost every day (I don’t do it now).

This verb is used only in the simple past tense when we speak about our lost habits NOW.

My friends, as you all have problems correcting these sentences on my last test, I will give you some explanations.

CAN'T HELP + the gerund means that a person is not able to stop/prevent himself from doing something.

I can't help working all the time (it means that I can't live without working. I have to work, I can't stop).

I can't help remembering what he did (I still remember, I can't forget).

Being in NYC I couldn't help visiting the Museum of Modern Art again (I couldn't stop myself from going
