This blog is my participating in Mishaikh's challenge about using idioms. I chose writing about food-idioms.

I'm going to spill the beans about how much I had to use my noodle to create some sentences by using food idioms. It was not a piece of cake because my sentences should not appear too cheesy.
But then, I told myself "Hey, just try to be as cool as a cucumber. Writing is your cup of tea. What are you afraid of?".
In a nutshell, my writings are still amateurish, and they never will be sold li

I went out into the street and the night reminded me of you. As if memories, now wet, took me back to that freshly-rained present: the sparkles on the asphalt, the anachronically-fresh air thickness, the world spinning over my head, and just ahead, a girl on a bike with love in her eyes. With love and fears; some old ones, some new. It is the last time I see her. The first and the last. The same as it is with you. The first time in many years that I see you as if it was the last time. And you bo

out of blue, here i am again.

Hello.. How are you? Hope you all are well. Do you remember me?  at this moment i am kinda black and blue since the fire drill training at my workplace.  I can't barely walk - my legs hurt.  

The environment at the office not good.  The company want to let go some of workers due the economic so bad lately. The company left us in the dark, which makes us wondering who might be the one.  i am so anxious and have the blues during this time.  I was like want to kick someo

I didn't remember in my childhood if I have been so obsessed about listening to stories whether from my mom or dad. however, I did listen to them a lot both from my parents and my grandmother, but the stories that I listen to them from my grandmother still haven't faded away yet from my memories, as I still remember how she had been told us these stories. For instance, the style she used, the tones of her voice when sometimes went up and other times low, the sudden appearance of her forehead’s w

A Palindrome is a word that is the same backwards and forwards.  
You’ll never look at these words the same again.

It was buzzing of busyness, one could hear small busy feets running here and there. Eagerly whispering voices, saying “Yes, yes it is a golden opportunity” “once in a blue moon” chance.

They all got green light, to make all necessary preparations, only the Little Rabbit was having the blues, because he had a feeling of being hold in the dark. That made him see red and he decided to tell them all a white lie.

He was unaware of that such act of his could make of him a blac

Studying for a bachelors degree in science requires taking classes, preparing assignments, giving presentations and taking tests or exams. On the other hand a very important and necessary requirement for all students is to complete a research project at the end of their program before the degree is actually awarded. The project is used as a gauge to determine what students have learned from their studies and they are expected to portray an excellent combination of writing essay help, research an

The girl had twenty-five flowers and seven candles, but she was puzzled how to distribute these objects and whom she would give them to, because she had only one boy friend. Luckily the friend came to see her with one large cake and one card.

"What is this cake for?" She asked him.

"Your seventeenth birth is going to be celebrated on the fifth next week. I will not be here on that day, I am leaving on the first so I decided to bring the cake today and celebrate your 17th birthday, by the way I wil

Random thoughts with Geography Idioms. :))

People are often on cloud nine after digging deep to find an item on online shopping. You know why? Because they found the dirt cheap one at last. You'll be surprised to know that some rich people do that as well. They said, "we are down to earth". D

A down to earth person is apparently not like a fair-weather friend. Their being open and sensible make them be a good friend both in a field day or in a bad day. Problems could never go downhill when such fr

Freedom of speech is one of the most important human rights. How to know a way whether freedom of speech is secure or not boils down to whether the citizens of a country can criticize the most influential person there or not. I think freedom of speech is relatively secure in Western countries, because they can see, read and listen to a lot of criticism of their president or prime minister.

On the other hand, there are some countries where it is forbidden to criticize the head of the nation. In co

An expression has been catching my interest while I was reading and commenting on Tam's post "What decides which country you belong to?".

GLOBALIZED WORLD

We all often use this expression. "What does mean the globalized world in my understanding?", thought I.

Let me tell my humble and simple opinion, please.

I agree with everyone who says it should not matter where we come from if there exists a globalized world.

But please, look at this world! Is that a real globalized world?
Maybe in that sense tha

It’s now black and white that she never loved me. She is gone forever leaving m

When I left my house this morning, I was again delighted by the beauty of the fall colors.
Actually, the temperatures are more like summer than fall. We have still about 25 degrees, more or less. That is unusual for October here in our region.
When the sun shines on the leaves of the trees, it seems as if nature has been painting everything in blood-red and gold.

Please, have a look at this beauty!

I didn’t know that I was getting into hot water while I declined her chat call.  She got angry and pointed me out that how out of etiquette my attitude was.  She also said though blood is thicker than water, but friendship is also important and it is sometimes proved not blown out of water.  I was really dead in the water when tried to pacify her.  It was like dipping a toe into the water.  My carelessness really put me in a position like fish out of water, feeling hard even to breathe.  I was n

Lately, I fell into the trap of being judgy.

I judged someone, so harshly that, he started to feel pain. I didn't know that I was causing that pain and it's my responsibility to ask for forgiveness.

I shared the story with my family, probably intended to view myself as free-from defects- human, free of deficiencies and all that stuff cause a human to be shamed, and afraid to speak out about it in public, I told them “ proudly and victoriously, that person……” is a bad person”.

However, it did not la

Someone interested in speaking English. My level is intermediate and I live in Brazil. UTC -4. I can talk 5 to 7 or 10 to 12 pm Brazil times.

We sometimes get bored,

I understand that, as human, we prone to that, quite frequently, So, when that mood kicks in, we feel a strong argue to leave, whether to leave  a person, a country, a home, even the whole world and at that point, we just wanna do it, so we do it right away.

I love change because change is a must to survive, to start a new journey.

I find myself a lot when I change, from time to time, when I feel the need to track my direction to another route, a new one probably, not the us

An acronym is a word or name formed as an abbreviation from the initial components in a phrase or a word.

Some common acronyms are: NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration), NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization), POTUS (President of the United States).

Government agencies and QANGO or QUANGO (Quasi-Autonomous Non-Government Organisations) and the military thrive on acronyms. This can be a real challenge if you aren't familiar with the acronyms.
