TUESDAY. Tyr's day. Named for the Norse god of war, Tiu or Tyr, the son of Odin, or Woden. Romans honored their god of war, Mars, by naming the third day

Destiny? Does it even exist? I used to think destiny is an excuse for those who want to do nothing with their lives; lazy people who would blame the destiny for their failures. Now I know for sure that

destiny is like another type of energy! It knows exactly  why are you here and what is your mission on this planet. Destiny directs us and gives us hints. When we ignore those hints we stop listening to the voice inside us, we lose track of our being. We become something we are not. Being something

According to the institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Japan, when they researched Japanese genes, they found that Japanese people have evolved over several thousand years as a people who can't drink alcohol much. A specific reason has not been found yet, but it seems to be an advantage for adaptation to the Japanese environment. There is a similar evolution in Africa, where African people have red blood cells which are not easily affected by malaria. A researcher at the institute says

In your opinion.... Does love have the same point of view as in the past??

Hi there, I only lately discovered the blog option to be fun and a good option for practising my english by writing longer texts than in the chatroom. and of course there are many things to write about and to read. One might not agree with all blogs, though it was a good option to share opinions.

But the latter times more and more economic blogs are dropped and each of them in best english. Some of them contain a link to professional sites where services are offered for a more or les high salary.

          Noisy or annoying for some and pleasant meeting points for others. Like in my language, they have several names; cocktail bars, saloon, pubs, coffee bars, lounge room, sport bars... maybe it changes the sort of environment but at the end all they have a common denominator, the local where friends meet each other in order to chat while having some drink in a relaxed atmosphere.

Spain owns the most quantity of bars per person but you can realise that not only Spaniards like this habits bu

In fact it was Olga´s blog post that made me write this one. Thinking what I could share there, a book by an austrian psychologist came to mind about which I wanted to report there. It probably had went off topic so that I decided to open a new blog. here it goes:

The name of the psychologist was Paul Watzlawik. And the title is "manual to unhappiness". Paul wrote and collected some short stories of which the following makes me giggle on ocassion:

A guy had bought a new drawing as to hang it to th

Still in the série “Diary if a Wimpy Kid”, I finished the title book "The Getaway", which tell us the history of Greg and your family travelling to an Tropical Island, with goal of getaway of the cold weather of their city. The history is full of very confusion and adventures, I liked very much this book I hope which you like it too.

Hi, everyone! After reading a few recent comments on my discussions in one of my favorite groups "Sing a song", after reading some discussions over and listening to the great music, I can't get rid of the idea to bring this group back to life. 

I am really very sorry that our friend Modaway decided to leave EC but the group he created was one of the best. Music is to unite people. It is such a powerful weapon that guns can rest in holsters. Music is not aware of national differences, borders, pol

Mother is a she is always special to their child.

We meet several people during the span of our life. They meet and part away.  Some of them become co-traveler just for few moments on the highway of life, among these some are those whom we can never forget even if we try to forget them.  The delicate pinch of their departing, always remains in our heart.  The unreachable-ness always unease our heart.  We do not forget them.  Their memories float up from the subconsciousness, when we are alone in the full moon night.  They are there with the cru

Is love really blind?

Generally speaking, love is blind and when you fall in love with donkey, Hoor is nothing. It, therefore said so, because general people are unaware about the inner quality of this donkey. This donkey has spirit of sacrifices which distinguished her among other women. Hoor is void of spirit of sacrifices. It's spirit of sacrifices which Allah the Almighty loves the most. Otherwise, it would have been declared that no beautiful people will enter the Hell. As a matter of fact,

Once, I found a startfruit seller tried to deceive my elder sister by reducing the weights. But, I made her fail in doing that. I smiled knowing it and said, "Ma'am, it is still a half kilogram to reach 5 kg." -This was kind of dishonest way to earn money which make others be in loss-

A few weeks ago, I bought two packs of pen and a boardmarker. After counting the charge myself, I knew I should pay IDR 44k and I gave old man a sheet of IDR 100k. What a surprise! He gave me IDR 74

One day, at 07.00 pm, a sweet new couple was on their second date. The girl was with a sweet white blouse and a knee-length maroon checked skirt. She put high heels on her feet and beautiful pendants on her ears. The boy was with jeans and black t-shirt. They entered a restaurant and accidentally met a group of boyfriend's friends. They greeted them and she felt really awesome. After a while, they had their table, number 28, second floor.

They ordered their menu. They were waiting for the order b

Dear MyEC friends, ^_^

Labor law in Japan regulate the time workers can work, which is within 40 hours and are given a day off in a week. Most companies decide their employee's work time as eight hours per day, five days per week. However managers and workers who have particular skills are excluded in this rule because they are allowed to determine their own work time.

In the last ten years, there has been a problem whereby employers or managers make their employees work more hours than specified by the law. There have
