“Run Dark, run!” How many times I’m going to say this to myself, like a mantra that reminds me of how to live and to survive, an alarm to my senses that I must escape, whatever it takes, wherever I’ll be. Time runs so fast like what my feet are doing now, I don’t know why they keep on chasing me as that woman have more than enough jewels to care about minus this piece of gold I have in my hand. I know what you’re thinking about me, and you are so right! I’m snatcher, an expert stealer; my hand i

But nothing is achieved. 

Are you ready sufficiently?

Let's prepare step by step.

Read, read and read.

Think, think and think.

Darkness cannot defeat light.

The lie cannot defeat truth.

Truth do not sink.

We do not give up.

The power of love

There lived a handsome young man in a small town. His name was John. He always was in the red ... not to say he was broke... nevertheless he lived on a large scale like a rich man. John was not stupid, only very lazy. He was an excellent chef but he didn't work at all. His parents always payed for his debts, so he never saw any reasons to change his behaviour. He was not a bad person... just, he never had learned to do anything in time or even to catch the ball before the boun

Once upon a time there was a little girl in a hill-side small village. In every winter the villagers observed a festival where the little girl wanted to go. But as her grandma was very old and had no extra money to spend so always the granny had to make excuses to refrain her from going there.

That night it was freezing outside. The little girl was tucked on her bed but she was not sleeping rather her cheeks were flooding. But she was not blaming her granny as she knew her granny could not effort

Another poem on the motivation of Onee's Challenge on the same word "dulcinea" I tried earlier. The basic idea of the poem borrowed from children rhymes. A learner is always a learner (like me) always seek help from hither and thither)

All the ways go to the world of my dulcinea

“Take a bus or take a train

Take a boat or Take a plane

Take a taxi or take a car

Maybe near or may be far

Take a rocket to the moon

But be sure to come back soon

To the world of my dulcinea

“Go, Go, Go!

Fly in a plane

Or ride on

Yes, this morning I failed to prescribe a patient any medicine. I didn't think the patient needed to take any medication for his back pain - I just suggested rest and hoped he'd feel better tomorrow. He agreed and left the clinic.

The pain was bearable and intermittent - it's likely the pain will ease itself. Besides, any medication has some side effects and abuse of medication is such a concern now. So, I decided not to prescribe him medication. 

On the other hand, maybe I should have prescribed

She told me to stay here and she’ll buy us drinks, my mother told me she’ll make it fast, this is the first time she brought me outside, only me and her, my siblings left in our house, I’m excited, I feel special. The bus station is full packed and crowded, people are rushing to their trips and the ticket booth seems like a box-office movie.

It’s been a while now, where is she? For sure, she finds it difficult to buy something as everyone wants to have themselves first, maybe there are multitude

I started dancing at the age of 25 and it honestly just kind of fell in my lap. I was visiting family in Jacksonville, Florida and we were headed out to what I thought was going to be a normal night out until we pulled up to “The Trap” (night club). That’s the night it all started. I was at a place in life where sin had truly consumed me and to be completely transparent, I thought this life was normal. Getting high was normal. Drinking was normal. Everybody was doing it. I actually didn’t want a

Once upon a time, there lived a mother with her two daughters. Her husband, the girl's father, passed away soon after the girls birth. He had an accident with his horse in the forest on the way home. He wanted to buy something in the neighboring town, a gift for his wife on the occasion of his children’s birth.

The couple had tried to start a family for a long time, but they had always failed. They had given up, but one day the woman realized that she was not just pregnant but pregnant with twins

He and his mum didn't tell the admin so I came as usual to my part time office, assumed that he still needed my lessons. I waited for an hour then I asked Ms Rizki to call his mum. It turned out that she had paid full for last month. Act confidently, I called my driver and said good bye to my friends there. It's the 2nd time I lost my job because my other boss told me that he didn't hire me anymore b

       The distance between Christmas and the New Year is about six days. In our country, our weekend is on Friday and Saturday. If Christmas is on Thursday, then we will work for three days.  Again, on the first of January, it is also a holiday for us. It is the New Year's Day and it corresponds to our independence day. Shall we talk about twenty sixteen? It was, or rather has been a year of many conflicts and wars all over the world, as many members mentioned lately. It was a year of ups and d

New Year is around the corner and some people have already started thinking, if this year was beneficial or not, if they are satisfied with what they achieved, planned etc. In fact, we usually end up with the same conclusions such as… many things suck, we can't change anything, we are just somewhere stuck and then …. we become depressed, right? :-D

Anyway, there are few things we can work on, few little things that can make us happier and calm. Here is my little list of the tips, I find important

My dear friends! I am really sorry I can't often be here now. But I'd like to tell you, I love you all! I love you jokes, your kidding, your mistakes and your reaction to our corrections. I love your being so curious, positive, smart and alive! Dan and I stick here because you are better than many of our real students and we feel like doing something useful here. I like our "battles" on some discussions, I like your humorous replies, I admire our challenges, your stories, so different but but me
