Everywhere is greenery. Trees have filled with fresh leaves. Flowers are blossoming. Birds are singing. Especially Koha’s sweet rhythm is spreading surrounding. Koha is, Asian kovul and it is a harbinger who brings the message of that the Sinhala and Tamil New Year. It is the most interesting and special festival in my country.

Okay, since I’m in a very gloomy mood these days, I would like to imagine that I am an inventor and I’m so freaking genius that I can invent anything using some brain and imagination.

There are two things I want to invent that for me will be so useful and will make me so happy, that’s the essence of inventing something, to make our life easier, that’s how technology show its significance to our lives.

Item no.1: Teleportation Gadget

Cost: For free- but just promise to use this only to positive thin

He was my class fellow from 7 to 10 grades.  He was the most intelligent student in the entire school.  Always got highest marks not only in our own class but in the whole school exams.  He never got less than 100% marks in mathematics as I remember.  I was second to him, in spite of trying my utmost to at least get equal to him.  But never, I envied him very often.  Besides in studies, he was the most gentle, humble, polite, and cultured boy, and above all, we were best friends.  Sat on the sam

If I was an inventor, I would invent a magic fragrance. Astronauts would take a bottle of this fragrance into the outer space and they would inject it into our atmosphere. Of course, the fragrance wouldn't be dangerous for the atmosphere.

The magic of the fragrance is very simple.
 
It needs only one single injection and everythings changes.

The effect of the fragrance:

People speak one common language, no one knows what war is, no hunger, no thirst. But the earth will not be a land of milk and hone

Last Sunday, two Coptic churches in Egypt were attacked by terrorists killing more than 40 people who were attending the mass. Most of the victims were Christians participating for the Palm Sunday - the beginning of Lent. It’s an important event for Christians and Catholics alike.

Boy: Hum..I am okay but I wanted to ask you something.

This is Danny’s Writing Challenge.

“If I Were an Inventor”. 

If I could invent anything that would have been ‘love’.  But love cannot be an invention.  An invention of a thing is made which does not exist previously. But love is there since the time memorial.  Yes, love is always there, it is another thing that we have forgotten it, or have buried it in the dust and/or ashes of our meanness, our hypocrisy, our selfishness. It would, therefore, be a discovery, a reviving, an incarnation, an avatar

I had to see her.  I should have been in time because I hate to see her wait for long, but I had gotten my hand tight and I could not leave on time.  I ought to have called her but I couldn’t.  I must have been there as promised.  But life, oh! Life makes so difficult for us sometimes. I could have lost her trust. She might have thought I did nothing to keep my words.  I felt so disappointed in myself, I ought to have let her know my problem in any way.  I might have called her but I was heavily

Lately, I’ve been practicing this formula to lessen my burden and stress in everyday occurrences, most especially if I’m facing difficulties and hardships in life. Yes, I know a lot of people doesn’t like Math, but please don’t take it so complicated that you’ll end up vomiting because you can’t fix that Pythagorean Theorem. This is as simple as one plus one, all you have to do is to think deeply, guys, I tell you this saved me from so many troubles and future brawls.

But before I continue, one s

Recently, I watched a movie - a masterpiece - from my film collection; rewatched actually - going down the memory lane, ya know?

"[...]there was this king and he ruled over his kingdom. Right in the middle of the kingdom there was a well. That's where everybody drank. One night, this witch came along and she poisoned the well. And the next day, everybody drank from it except the king and they all went crazy. They got together in the street and they said, "We got to get rid of the king, 'cause the

"Kintsugi" or "Kintsukuroi" is a Japanese word that means "to repair with gold", and it's the art of repairing pottery with gold and understanding that piece is more beautiful for having been broken.... It makes it more special and unique...

Kintsugi can also relate to the Japanese philosophy of "no mind", which encompasses the concepts of non-attachment and acceptance of change as aspects of human life.

"Not only is there no attempt to hide the damage, but the repair is literally illuminated...

"Dear my people, today, in this rainy season, I summoned you here to announce a PRIZE CONTEST. Any of you who have wings to fly can participate in. The challenge is you should GO TO THE MOON and find your spouse there. If you're successful, I will let you free and START A NEW LIFE", says the King to his people.

Afterwards, millions of them take part in this challenge. They are surprised as they found many moons are there. Some moons are also moving ahead so fast that oftentimes kill participants.

I remember long time ago that I was fond of Sailor Stars. I am a big fan of anime Sailor Moon and her friends.

I love Usagi, Sailor Mercury, Venus, Uranus, Pluto, Saturn and all include Mask Tuxedo or known as Mamoru.

I also love Usagi's daughter, she is so cute and I forgot her name. Was it Usako?

Anyway that's how I spend my Sat night by drinking ice blend cappuccino and listening to some hits wonder in 2008. Ciao!

Yes, I'm talking about 'participle clauses'. Don't confuse 'participle' with 'particle', though - participle is the form of a verb that ends with '-ed' or '-ing'. 

Adjectival participle clauses are like relative clauses, for example, "Anyone trying to move the stone will get injured." (= Anyone who tries/is trying to move the stone will get injured.)

What I really want to convey, however, is that 'adjectival participle clauses can only be used to talk about actions that happen the same time as the

Then it occurred, there was a deafening silence.

Seen as harmless, but an equal to violence.

The silence wasn't heard before, like filtered white noise.

Nothing less and nothing more, like time, silence destroys.

As when your life's centered around an object,

Family, education, a person or concept.

Even something you can't quite detect.

One day you'll find yourself on a road,

Going down a path seldom strode.

A place you find that you don't want to be,

Take a lesson from a person such as me.

Listen to all a

Home Early

A blonde guy gets home early from work and hears strange noises coming from the bedroom. He rushes upstairs to find his wife naked on the bed, sweating and panting. "What's up?" he says. "I'm having a heart attack," cries the woman.
He rushes downstairs to grab the phone, but just as he's dialing, his 4-year-old son comes up and says "Daddy! Daddy! Uncle Ted's hiding in your closet and he's got no clothes on!" The guy slams the phone down and storms upstairs into the bedroom, past his s

There was a man… a silent man,

A humble man who lived alone

And seems like god had his plan

On humble man, for he was born.

The man wasn't happy nor was he sad

The man just lived and all he had

Was just one life one hope one way,

Just one bright and happy day…

That day he met a woman,

A pretty, sweet cute woman.

She loved the life and she was sure

That life is so sweet and pure.

Thus they met and fall in love

Thus they lived, enjoyed the life.

They worked, and walked and laughed and cried

They hoped and nev
