My world has been spinning after hearing it! Now I have no idea about the difference between day and night. All seems same to me. I am in darkness and have a feeling that there is no brightness around me. What is life? Is it about sipping a cup of coffee with proper proportion of milk and sugar. And, what it would be if I forget to put black pepper or salt in my evening broth? What does it actually mean if someone have chocolate mousse instead of orange mousse? See, how many people are in mud, h

Evangelina has just published a writing challenge. The reason she did so may be due to the encouraging comments on her previous blog in which she asked if we were ready for or welcome a writing challenge. 

While it seems most of the members think it helpful to take part in a writing challenge, some members may be doubtful about it. They may try to ask this question: what's a writing challenge really for or what's the point?

Tara, the former admin, used to encourage us to write more with her monthl

4 and 9 are unfavorable numbers in Japan because 4 suggests death and 9 suggests illness. The reason why these numbers suggest these things is because 4 is read し, which can mean death, as in 死(し), and 9 is read く, which can mean illness, as in 苦(く). There are some Japanese hotels which don't use 4 and 9 for their room numbers.

In addition, the number 7 is favorable. There are words like "lucky seven". What numbers are unfavorable in your country? And what numbers are favorable?  

According to Together We Rise, 1,200 kids enter foster care in the U.S. TWR brings together volunteers to help kids who are in foster care, and it inspires families to adopt them. All the volunteers are quite young, actually: "In 2008, TWR was founded by college students after one of their classmates discovered that their 9 year-old cousin was living in a car," states TWR. "They wanted to do something but they came across some obstacles because they were all under the age of 21. Government agenc

Writing Challenge - Contrasting words,

Love in contrast:

It made no difference between night and day for me since I fell in love with you. You must see that it is my blind love.  Be sure that I am not going to drag your name to mud by publicizing my love.  But the fact is like snow white. On the contrary I find myself unable even to express before you.  There is a burden on my heart. To those who think in black-and-white terms, my love may be either entirely good or entirely bad for you. Whe

Tomorrow I will  do business with some Chinese investors at my company. It'll be a very important business to speed up product sellings this month. To be very relaxed at the very moment, and so, do my best at negotiations, I prefer do nothing before.  For example, I asked for my wife to book a visit in hairdresser to do my hair for the company meeting. I also asked my wife to do the cooking, do the housework, do the shopping and do the washing up without my company. She gets a bit angry w

I've just bought a book on English grammar to celebrate World Book Day. 

I enjoy reading books on English grammar and have bought scores of such books. I even thought I had enough and the bookstore seemed no longer attractive - I used to be a regular visitor there. 

The fact that I've got enough grammar books, however, doesn't mean I don't need to learn more grammar. I know there's still confusion, or rather, I know there's still something I don't really know about the grammar. 

I just finished rea

As adjectives describe or modify nouns, the adverbs describe or modify verbs, adjectives or other adverbs. The adverb is placed after the verb it modifies. The adverbs are sometimes used to strengthen or weaken the adjectives. Some adverbs or adverbial expressions that tell us about the speaker's viewpoint or opinion about an action,  or make some comment on the action. Of course,  these kinds of adverbs are different from other adverbs because they do not show us how an action took place. They

I got a bad feeling since afternoon about my boyfriend. Maybe because he didn’t call me since morning. I waited until dusk to make sure he already at home when picked up my phone call.
“Hello!”
“Dear, where are you?”
“I am home, my doll. Just arrived.”
“Good! What’s happened?”
“Nothing.”
“No call from you all day and now your voice sounds weird, something must be happened.”
“How do you know? Hahaha!”
“I got a bad feeling.”
“Feeling, huh?”
“Quit joking! let me know please, I don’t think you are a

Hiya, folks!

These illustrations inspired me to share some principles I believe in. I'm definitely the last person to give advice on how to deal with your problems and/or everyday situations; especially the ones when you feel like even your pinkie toe is onto you. It decides to stub itself like nobody's business. You swear, try to walk it off and you trip and go down pretty hard. Did I perfectly illustrate my point here?

Save up some sunshine for rainy days.

Ah. Weekends. I bet everyone can relate

It's a fabulous sunny Sunday, but Minion Bob's been tirelessly looking for his brothers, Kevin and Stuart. "I wonder where could they be?". He started climbing from one tree after the other, but he failed to find them. He saw those tangy but scrumptious blueberries scattered on the ground and began wolfing them down. "Delish!" After a few minutes, he's stuffed!

While he's cleaning himself, he noticed a thick smoke billowing at the corner of a nearby cave. The smoke engulfed the entire island in n

Hello again 

   After the occupation of the US espionage den (the US embassy in Tehran, 1979) by the Muslim students following the Imam Khomeini's line, the US imposed some economic sanctions on Iran, dispatched its military fleet to the Persian Gulf and utilized some Iranian mercenaries and anti-revolutionary elements in the country. But one of the important fields which provided the causes of the US invasion against Iran, was the failure of all US diplomatic efforts and designs in order to rele

Aloha lovely EC people!

I'm having problems to load this site lately, so today is a lucky day for me. 
I hope everything is going super duper for you guys! 

Yesterday was the World Book Day. I wasn't able to come here to wish you a happy reading, but since today I could log in... well... Here it is! A VERY MERRY UNBOOKDAY TO YOU ALL!

So tell me... What book are you reading now?
And What was the last book you read? It was 'woah!' or it was 'meh'? 

Maybe you didn't read any book lately? Oh so bad! But

Yes, 'to be readable' means 'to be enjoyable and easy to read'. 

I can tell that you do have a great idea or topic or something fun to share with us. You even managed to write a blog about it, but only to find that other members don't seem to be so interested in it. You're so frustrating and wonder what's wrong with your blog. 

If that's true for you, you're not alone in feeling that. It's not easy for a learner to write something readable, even though they may have a wide vocabulary and know all

Good afternoon. 

I guess many famous authors and writers created their novels because they wanted to share their feelings and emotions with this world. Seems that many people who practice blogging have the same intentions. I suppose that right now I'm doing the same. 

It's not a secret that we all start living our real life when we are not as tasty and juicy as a fresh peach because you can realize and find your own way only when you have a great life experience (though it can be negative as well)
