What comes to your mind when you hear this phrase? I initially thought of it as something hilarious or comical, or when someone is joking. I keep hearing this term often in podcasts and it wouldn’t a waste of time sharing this on MyEC.

Mcmillan Dictionary defines it here. So, we should remember to use this phrase if we want to think about something is surprising and unusual.

If we’re talking about something positive, we can use it with enthusiasm when conversing with someone especially with friend

Only silence around me.
No noise destroys the silence.
Silence hurts me,
forces me to think.
Damn silence!
My soul asks me who I am.
I don't know the answer.
Have I lost myself?
Lost myself on my way?
Am I innovative?
Am I self-confident?
Am I independent?
Free and liberal, as I wanted to be?
Am I all of that?
My soul, why do you ask me?
Do you have doubts!
Don't hurt ME!
Who am I?

Only questions around me.
Questions destroy the silence.
Questions annoy me.
I don't want to answer.
Damn questio

He is without doubt very intelligent guy with golden heart. His carrying attitude is something very rare to see nowadays and I think one day his wife will appreciate this side of him a lot! He is sincere but when he disagrees with something, he better stays away, which proves he doesn't like to be involved in some stupid conflicts. On the other hand once in a blue moon when he is angry, it is better to run away as he can turn to furious typhoon :D Let me add that he is very attentive and doesn't

A human being is a very simple creation, but at the same time, it has emotional, psychological and nerve (tolerance, bearing, coping up with) complication. Sometimes they are courageous sometimes overawing, shying, egocentric. Sometimes they are courageously open, express their love boldly, sometimes because of shyness and or egocentrism, they hide their emotion in some deviation and distraction like in my story SHOELACES. If you have watched (if not please do watch) last episode (the ending) of

I would like to dedicate this blog to all shameless gold diggers around the world!!! Unfortunately I guess, I won't be so blessed, so that all would be able to read it but maybe just some of them like Heather Mills (exwife of Paul McCartney) or Kim Kardashian, will realize their calculating, scheming behaviour is pretty awful .. hahaaaaa.. good joke, I know :-) Anyway, this is not just a question of the celebrities but of many girls, whose materialistic preferencies are priority number one, whic

It's been almost a year since I've joined MyEC. I've met a lot of interesting members. I have a photographic memory and the tiniest details etch in my mind. Faces are not an exception. Some of us like to remain a "mystery" - myself included. I respect the people's privacy as much as the next guy. But I've been thinking what if I broke this secrecy? I can't help it. So here it goes. Some of EC members and how I picture them in my mind - if they were cartoon characters, that is:

P.S. I've seen the

Shoelaces

I saw him after a long time. He was tying shoelaces of a little boy; the resemblance was showing the boy must be his son.  He was still so graceful, nice and admirable. The everlasting quietness was still there on his face which always charmed me and drew me towards him.  His eyes were the same as quiet and lost somewhere.  Some gray traces in his hairs depicting the time which has passed since I saw him last. 

I never met him in the sense to call a real meeting. I could never have succe

Recently, Evangelina left a comment on my wall and wanted to know where the hell - my words - was I? Why I stopped writing? Aren't you sweet, dear? You're right, Eva. Where was I all this time? Let's see, I've been reading a trilogy, watching lots and lots of movies and I mean lots! Oh, wait, I've been busy "working" too. Whatever the hell that is. Anywho, Heeeeeeeeeere's A738a! How 'bout introducin' 10 Italian food that you may be familiar with at least +3 of them? I dunno. Let's find out.  Buc

This description will be damn hard because to describe EC God is almost impossible for idiot like me!!! In fact, he uses still the same avatar of his artificial plastic surgery 40 y/o face he loves to brag about and let me say that his ego sometimes flies so high that I am afraid it will get from the atmosphere to the universe one day! Now I am wondering about his facial expression after reading my first lines :D
Anyway, let me be nice.. Guys, no doubt our dear Danny became essential part of EC

Who is he? Do I know? Friendship isn't just about long-term relationships, why not to write about something little bit unknown? In fact he gives an impression of a mysterious guy, which might draw attention of others but he doesn't do it on purpose, it is his natural side. His nice words and attitude shows he is very kind guy with beautiful heart and even though I can't say I know him pretty good, I just like this process of getting to know him more and more and sharing interesting things with h

I am really happy I got unique opportunity to destroy oooppsss to describe personality of my friend, whom I have known for half a year and even though it seems like short time period, I can say I know him quite good (don't forget, guys Luci is great psychologist :D). As we both come from totally different backgrounds, continents, societies etc. I can say despite this all we have many things in common - especially our hobbies, sense of humour and egoistic traits...

Anyway...enough of blablaing,

She is like my twin, no doubt I have heard here several times that Luci is Mary :O Anyway, WE AREN'T one, sorry to disappoint you, guys. I like the most about Mary that she doesn't pretend anything...she is simply herself and behaves very naturally. I know that for some strangers she might give impression of tough tigeress but believe me that she is my cute little cow ..oops.. kitten :D I can say she is this kind of friend, who gives hand to somebody, when they are in need. This is one of the mo

Nowruz is the Persian, or Iranian, spring celebration of the New Year. It’s the most important festival of the year in Iran, and it's a public holiday there and in Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Albania and other countries in South and Central Asia. It’s a happy occasion, and there may be as many as 13 days’ holiday from school!

When is it?

Nowruz begins at the exact day, hour and minute of the spring equinox, when night and day are of equal length. This is usually on 21 March. It’s the day

As I took my step forward

My heart is pounding like a coward

This warm air that I felt beneath my feet

Encouraging for conquering as this love beat

You are there, sitting at the corner

Giving your attention to all people you could bear

If I could, I will come closer and wherever

I will follow your every gesture, any side you stare

You’re smiling eyes that are so mesmerizing

I want to swim to that deep that illicitly pleasing

Can I touch your face and run my fingers

Trace every feature in my dreams that l

Hi guys. My full name is Nixie Wulandari. I’m 14 years old in February. Everybody calls me Nix or Wulan. I’ll tell you who are in my family. First there is Dad, Edward Nakamura. He works for the International Health Institute near my school, Jackson High School. This school was built by Michael Jackson’s fans to memorize him. Second is my Mum, Margaret Ann and I call her Mum Ann. She is a part time Spanish teacher in my school. I have 1 big sister and 1 big brother, which makes me the youngest.

My dear little friend, I know well,

I can’t be your mum, similarly sister,

Any girlfriend or will not be wife,

Also, I know well, I can’t see you,

I can’t meet you, I can’t touch you,

Because I’m only your angel, as you told,

But if you were anywhere,

I’m always thinking,    

If I could, hold your face on my chest,

If I could touch your head motherly,

I can feel you that much,

 I can read your innocent eyes.

Really, I hear your Voice of heart,

When you are crying, Cried me too a lot,

Because you belong my hea
