The 16th President of the Republic of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte paved his way to a bizarre stardom. As he promised and sworn that he will kill ten thousands of drug addicts/users, drug traffickers/pushers, and drug lords in his territorial jurisdiction. He assumed office last June, roughly more than two months ago but tremendously showed how serious he is to his promise. Supporters and detractors agreed in one thing that he is exceedingly effective. For a very short period, over one thous

Thoughts in a summer night

Have you ever lied under the stars at the final of the day? I'd say that it's healthy even sedative or a good therapy.Most of the times it makes me relieve the pressure of the day.This time I decided to mix up two issues; watching the stars while writing a blog since it's a long time I don't do it and surely some of you will hold it against me haha... well some of you know me and you know I'm a man of few words (or few blogs?).. O.k. Whatever.Coming back to the point, staying for some minutes wi

THEY ARE BETTER

I still remember when the first time I learned English, I was 12 years old and as a student of Junior High school in the first grade. 

Indonesian people now can learn English in the younger age, in the 6 years old and even less than that age. hmm they are lucky and I think their english will be much better.

on the picture you can see my students in my english course..2347301630?profile=original

Once again, it’s your birthday and it is no mysteries that I often forgot to say how much I love you, how you mean to me and how much I care. Today another year has passed for you, how I thank God for giving you another year to lived. This is the first time that I’m not able to be at your side to celebrate the day with you. Oceans apart, but living under the same skies.

In a dispute between computer users was trying to clarify whether the computer
"Male" or "Female" is. The women voted for
"male"
because:

You have to turn him on to get his attention.
He has a lot of knowledge, but is still haphazard.
He should help one to solve problems, but in half of the time is he the problem himself.
And after you got him you starts to ask yourself if there isn't a better one to get.

The men agreed on the following reasons
"female":

Scars in the soul

Scars in the soul

A smiling face,
but eyes without shine.
You don't see it,
sudden you are gone away.

You're gone away,
taking my smiling eyes
and even it colors.
Leaving only tears and pain.

My bleeding soul
has gotten deep scars.
Pain doesn't want to go 
and crying is my heart.

But strong will
will endure the fate.
Hope will grow again.
Hope deep in my heart.

Scars will fade,
tears will dry out
and soul will heal
and my eyes shine again.

Just an early winter morning

It's early morning and still dark. My view through the window shows me a magical picture. This untouched white world it's like a huge cozy, virgin bed.
It's unbelievable quiet; none birds sing their songs, there are no voices which disturb the peace. It's comfort for the eyes and balsam for the soul. I enjoy that picture in the early morning.
White flakes of snow come out from the sky now. It's like a dance, a dance of angels without faces, which dance to inaudible melodies, played on invisible

Homophones

The idea of the blog came from the correction of my mistake by Mr. Bijan to the word 'week' instead of 'weak'. The word homophone means one word that has the same pronunciation of another word or two, but they have a different meaning or spelling, such as the two words mentioned above, or (sun/ son), (too/ two), (sea/ see). Sun is the star which the earth orbits or revolves around it. While son means a boy or a man related or associated to both his parents. Too means so, likewise or to the highe

Punctuality

We may have read about many popular and successful personalities with the curiosity to find out the keys which led them to success. The main key to all the achievements of them is punctuality Those, who walk around the clock, never leave behind in the race of progress in every walk of life. Our elders used to say, "value the time, it will value you back".The religion I follow emphasizes the most on the punctuality. For five times prays in a day are compelled to perform in times.

Selfish Friend

Once a cat was caught in a hunter's net. A mouse used to live in a nearby hole. The mouse seeing the cat in the net started playing around the cat.Soon a mongoose came there. He wanted to kill the mouse. As he lifted his head, he saw an owl sitting on a tree trying to catch him. The mongoose went very near the cat's net to save himself. The mouse thought "When the hunter takes away the cat, the mongoose will not spare me and the owl is there to enjoy both of us."The Mouse went to the cat and sai

Short Story

This is my attempt in response to Danny's " Writing Challenge: Phrasal Verbs: OUT and AWAY:

Eshal stopped abruptly. HE was with a young beautiful woman.  She was kissing and hugging him profusely.

“I will  go away, and you should get your mind set to marry and not waste your time flirting with girls.” 

She hugged and kissed him once again.

Eishal was feeling numb, her head was spinning.  She grasped the gate firmly, when he turned back to kiss the woman at parting.

“He is a flirt.”  Her heart became

I always ask me why people have long lists of friends on social networks. What means that for them? Nobody can manage it and deal with so many friends. My opinion is, that's only a collection of contacts. The sense of a friend is to know him. Don't understand me wrong, I know, it's even possible to become friends in social networks. But to call someone as a friend needs more than only to take him as a  number or a name on a "friends" list. I ask myself what someone really knows about every sing

Ap++

2347298951?profile=original

Since I received a lot of encouraging comments about a grammar topic in one of my blogs a few months ago, I couldn’t help myself sharing with you another lesson that’d be useful in your writing.

Alright, what comes to your mind when you hear a grammatical term such as an appositive? Do you have any idea?

Let’s define this word and understand its purpose. Actually, this could be a bit confusing if I reiterate this lesson in full details. But for the sake of other members with beginner level in Engl

Using the Gerund Correctly

2347298792?profile=originalMy friends! Today I will tell you when and how to use the gerund correctly. The gerund is a part of speech combining the features of a noun and a verb. In the direct sense of the word, it is a noun from the front and a verb from behind. It means that we may use some prepositions and possessive pronouns before a gerund, while we use the complements and adverbs before it. A gerund defines a progreesive action. However, it is "more a noun than a verb", if I can say so. A gerund is mostly used as a

Top Members This Month

Yes, I mean 'top members', not 'star members'. Just as you know, it's hard to choose the monthly star members, especially when we're trying to choose someone who's never been chosen as a star member. 

The thing is some of the star members may not have been aware they were star members because they didn't visit MyEC much - they were't really active members and other members didn't think they deserved it. That's to say,  some of the star members are controversial. 

Thankfully, the admin of MyEC has

“So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone…”,as the Bible says in Galatians 6:10 since time immemorial. If doing good is that easy, why there are so many reminders for doing such? If it is simple as breathing, why people find it rigid to give? If it is an effortless act, why a human desires evil?
Merely, it is not easy, simple and effortless. On the contrary, doing evil can be done with ease, guiltless and blameless. Life is an irony sometimes I may say.
This is a challenge for

How will you keep motivated nowadays?

Two simple definitions for motivation are that it is a description of a person’s motive to action and it is a reason(s) for acting or behaving in a particular way. But why it’s so difficult to keep the fire burning? I came here in EC carrying the thoughts that I will enhance my communication skills and for sure I will accomplish what I’m up to. For a newbie here, I’m still on my adjustment period, dealing with members who use English in their daily lives, who

My Job!

    When you're flying, the airplane that carries you on is being guided by some pieces of equipment installed at determined points on the ground. Those things create kind of virtual roads or paths in the space on which the airplanes can fly using automatic pilots. The same happens when the aircraft is getting ready for landing: there is a virtual slope and a virtual axis that guide the plane right into the landing point of the runway. It may explain why your plane is able to get to its destinat
