http://www.lifehack.org/426221/what-a-typical-day-is-like-for-introvertsI was always cycling or jogging with my husband and my father but sadly they are too busy because they always pray at At-taqwa, the famous mosque in our city.

My husband is an extrovert, while I'm introvert. I have many friends since I was a child. My family thought I was a shy and quiet girl, while I hided my real characters haha.

So how do you know if you are extrovert or introvert? There's also a mix of them -- ambivert. Wh

Hi all, 

Most of the turbulence or worries in our mind is triggered from outside, It is not created by our own. 

For example, One of your friend bought a new car today, and you don't have a car. Today I am sure, 90% of peoples mind will be upset. 

See details of this case. You don't have a car for a long time or you never had a car any time. These many days you didn't think about it or you never had a problem. You need a car to show others that you too have a car- that is creating problem. Just ego

I wrote a blog on my facebook last year when Paris was attacked by ISIS.  I thought I would share it today.  Hate is a terrible word and unfortunately I see it in every nationality it is no respecter of persons it would seem.  I would hope to never be guilty of such an emotion.  I am from the dreaded USA as many know.  As I have said time and time again......do not be ignorant, for the USA is the least of most peoples worries.  But anyway this is my opinion on extremism and how it could very wel

Last Saturday, on 5th November 2016, I took another event to challenge myself. It was a 20km trail with 20 obstacles challenge called the Viper Challenge. Though I've entered a few trail runs and on the road runs, this is the first time that I ever tried an obstacle event. This event was also a team challenge, thus, I was quietly confident that we can go through all the obstacles with team effort though none of us had any experience participating in the event.

On the morning of the event, due to

Bread is a very important part of the German diet. It’s a staple food at breakfast , break-time  and supper  and there are lots of bread types to choose from, many of which are regional in nature. If you took the effort to travel all across the country, you would be able to enjoy more than 300 bread varieties and over 1,200 different bread rolls and baked goods in Germany. And you won’t have to look hard to find somewhere to buy bread. There are bakeries on every street in every village town and

If my heart could choose, it would choose you again ... you and only you.
You are not to replace and you are all what I want because you are my love.
I love you with two loves; the one is romantic and sweet, they other one is simply ... you deserve to be loved.
You always conquer me with your beautiful eyes. When I look at you then I can see how the moon is hiking on foot on earth.
Never before I saw such a wonder like the moonlight on your face, never befor I have felt this fever, the flame of

Hello EC! as Luci (our blue-thinker… :)) asked fellow members to join her challenge, which for me is really positive, it’s a chance for us to see other folks life with a very particular topic-our hot beverages name it coffee, hot choco, tea, etc. etc. It’s my pleasure to impart you guys what makes me energize and feel refresh (yes! Refreshing tho it’s hot!)… from morning up to late night, I never consider myself as addicted to any of those because I can drink 10 cups a day and I can also not dri

Chicken Stew with Coconut Milk

One of the popular traditional dishes in my country is the Chicken Stew or ‘Ginataang Manok’ in my local language. It’s basically chicken which is chopped in small pieces, and sauted in garlic, onions and ginger then boiled in water. It’s added with lots of ingredients such as raw (green one) papaya, monggo beans and malunggay (moringa) leaves - experts say they are an anti-cancer green-leafy vegetable. The dish wouldn’t be complete without the main ingredient - the

Welcome to my first ever writing challenge! I’ve been a fan of this activity since the day I became a member of our club as well as joined to countless of its versions. Many members have shown their initiative by coming up different topics to join with and improve our writing skills in a fun and engaging ways. It would be unfair as your video moderator if I’m not going to share a slice of my cake with you.

If my memory serves me right, we had this type of challenge before, but that was ages ago.

My dear friends! By now, I have been a member of EC for a little more than a year and I'd like to say you have become a part of my life. Every morning I wake up thinking about you: whose stories to correct, whose questions to answer, what else to propose you and not to forget to greet or congratulate you on the weekend or other special occasions. I don't know if you learned anything from me, but I do know that I have learned much from you. I am so happy to have such great experience! But now, I

Hello! This is my favourite mug. I use it to drink chocolate. I am a chocoholic like Luci said. :D Besides, I don’t drink coffee because caffeine makes me feel awful (trembling, headache, etc). I drink tea sometimes but in a simple cup which also use my parents.

But this is MY mug. No one else drinks in this mug except me. And it is the perfect mug to drink chocolate. But it was not so easy to buy it. One day, while I was shopping in a super market I saw this mug and I loved it from the first mom

                I prefer the content to the container (applicable to persons too) so I,m not so keen on mugs but what it´s inside, plus no one has ever given me any :/

These are the cups I usually take for my very first activity in the day after washing and dressing up, yes I need this 'gasoline' to start working every day and yes, you have read well... 'every' so, for all those who haven´t already started to work, my advice is... choose correctly your job and think it twice jajaja...  too late f

She looks back over her shoulder. It's night, and she is alone on the road. Her step is fast. She tries walking with hard steps.
Maybe someone who follows her might think to hear male steps.

The trees and bushes throw long shadows and sometimes, she can hear the bushes rustle.
It's cold and humid, and she freezes a little in her thin jacket.

She comes from a meeting with her friends, having prepared the wedding of her best friend.
She was late at the bus station, and she didn't get a cab.
Therefore s

Guys, let me invite you to my country. In this blog, I would like to share something little bit surprising, maybe interesting or totally unknown for some of you. Like you know, I come from Czech republic (in the past Czechoslovakia) and thanx to the fact that it is not such a big country, people usually know just some basic facts about it. Anyway, let me ask: Have you ever heard of Czech national heritage? I mean something we are really proud of! No? Ohhh… so in this case I would love to little

Coffee Mug -----My First Crush:

I had nothing to do at home, so I decided to re-set my closet.  I was emptying the closet and putting ‘saris’ and other clothes separately.  There I found a cardboard box on the upper shelf.  I remembered it was the box in which I used to keep my teenage mementos.  I got excited, grab the box and sat on my reading table forgetting all about setting of closet.  As I opened the box, there I saw
