American Date (Clark's)

       Shelly lived in Washington and she was really sceptical about men. It was due to her bad experience with her former boyfriend who had cheated her. She hadn’t gone out for a date for a long time. She had a funny thought that she was immune to men already.  One day, Shelly went to an amusement park with her friend, Lily. They had cotton candies and ice lollies there. While they were walking and chatting, a man suddenly bumped into Shelly. Shelly started getting angry but she became dumbstru

Mobile phone MyEC

I'm writing on my mobile phone/cell phone - I'm on vacation and away from my computer.
This is the first time I've written a blog on my cellphone. I hope this blog looks natural on your computer.
It can be so challenging to write a blog on your mobile - unless you're familiar with texting in English on a cellphone.
You're writing on a smaller screen you're unfamiliar with - without the supporting software installed on your computer. And, the Internet connection may not be as good.

How to control anger

Recently I feel like a rebel.I don't like people tell me what to do and treat me like a child. I am an adult and I am the one who control my destiny. I just let my anger hide. I know it is unhealthy, but when I can't take it anymore I just listen to Muse and The Corrs. I feel so alone and left behind. It's so hard to meet my friends. Maybe if my family forgives me I will change but once again please let me be myself so I don't have to fight my anger. Mind your own business...

The adventures of Heart & Brain

Realistic-Brain-And-Heart.jpg

The battle between our intellect and emotions is as old as the hills. They're kinda like an old couple, always bickering and nagging. They have a very fascinating relationship, though. This whacky couple made Nick Seluk, the one behind the popular Awkward Yeti webcomic, create his Heart And Brain comic series.

Let's take a look:

Describe A person ( Tanya's)

Mary works in an advertising company and has a new colleague. His name is Mark. His handsome look catches much of ladies’ attention in the office but Mary doesn’t like him at all.  For her, Mark is really a snobbish and sarcastic. Well, when they met for the first time, he called her “a red mop”.  It really stung her because he was making fun of her. Of course, she has short red hair but it does not look like a mop at all! What a cruel man!

 Every day, Mary is trying very hard to avoid talking to

Have you ever wondered why characters are necessary in a narrative work?

If so (and if you are curious), in this brief article we will tell you why they are so important and why it is necessary to work on them so much.

Your characters carry the weight of the story

This is perhaps the most basic reason why. Without characters, there is no one to perform the actions you want to tell. It is as simple as that. Because of this, anything they decide to do while under the reader’s scrutiny must be somethi

What are you waiting for?

I had to wait my turn to play.

She sits on the corner waiting for her son.

He can't wait to get started again.

Just you wait till your father comes home!

Tom did not wait for a reply.

To me, the feeling of waiting is no fun. At all. It surrounds our personal and social life. You can't literally do anything without waiting- from waiting in line to cash a stupid check to waiting for your turn to get your tonsils yanked out of your freakin' throat by a psychotic doctor. And the punchline is that he's la

I'm reposting this previous blog because today 20th June 2016 is the World Refugee Day. Unlike many other commemorative days, I believed this day should not be happening again in this day and age. But as some statistics indicate, maybe about 60 millions people are displaced, either as refugees, asylum seekers, migrants or internally displaced persons.

According to UNHCR, World Refugee Day is to commemorates the strength, courage, and resilience of millions of refugees. 

There are so many questions
