The adventures of Heart & Brain

Realistic-Brain-And-Heart.jpg

The battle between our intellect and emotions is as old as the hills. They're kinda like an old couple, always bickering and nagging. They have a very fascinating relationship, though. This whacky couple made Nick Seluk, the one behind the popular Awkward Yeti webcomic, create his Heart And Brain comic series.

Let's take a look:

She likes to be seen patronising stylish café of which a cup of coffee is 3 – 4 times more expensive than a simple cup of coffee in a shop.

What are you waiting for?

I had to wait my turn to play.

She sits on the corner waiting for her son.

He can't wait to get started again.

Just you wait till your father comes home!

Tom did not wait for a reply.

To me, the feeling of waiting is no fun. At all. It surrounds our personal and social life. You can't literally do anything without waiting- from waiting in line to cash a stupid check to waiting for your turn to get your tonsils yanked out of your freakin' throat by a psychotic doctor. And the punchline is that he's la

I'm reposting this previous blog because today 20th June 2016 is the World Refugee Day. Unlike many other commemorative days, I believed this day should not be happening again in this day and age. But as some statistics indicate, maybe about 60 millions people are displaced, either as refugees, asylum seekers, migrants or internally displaced persons.

According to UNHCR, World Refugee Day is to commemorates the strength, courage, and resilience of millions of refugees. 

There are so many questions

Be a good egg!

Becha you're saying, "Yeah, right. Only in a parallel universe." And you're right! But think about it: You're a beautiful vase, a nice glass of wine or just a simple egg! Hey! Hey! Don't giggle. Let me finish. That hammer, that brick or that baseball bat represents all the problems, concerns or anxieties in your life. And you have to deal with them one way or another. Are you gonna give up and shatter into a million pieces or are you gonna 'kick it in the a**'?

P.S. A "good egg" is an expression.

Talking about the stock market, the first thing may come to minds is easy money some people get in stock markets. But this is only one side of the coin. The stock business can be risky, too; and you may lose your money all of a sudden. To be a successful investor, you should have a good knowledge of stock business or you can simply hire a stockbroker. I’ve never been to the stock market before. But as a learner of English, I’d like to learn some stock market vocabularies and share them with you,

You Are Not an Accident

I am your Creator. You were in my care even before you were born. Isaiah 44:2a (CEV)


God doesn't play dice. Albert Einstein


You are not an accident. Your birth was no mistake or mishap, and your life is no fluke of nature. Your parents may not have planned you, but God did. He was not at all surprised by your birth. In fact, he expected it. Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God. He thought of you first. It is not fate, nor ch

Yes, we encourage you to help (to) correct each other. I hope you'll agree it's worth it!

When you try to correct each other/one another, you should make sure you really know the ropes. Leave what you aren't sure about uncorrected, for example, if you're not sure about 'part of something', then don't assume the sentence 'Making mistakes is part of learning' is incorrect. 

I suggest you look it up in a dictionary if you're not sure about a collocation, a word or an idiom. Your English improves whil

Every child loves birthday party and presents, so I always have something up my sleeves to catch my kids off guard. Once we were on a trip; it was their birthday but it seemed like they had forgotten it.

I will never forget their happy face as soon as they entered the room.
