FREELOADER

It is in response to Onee's "Challenge in challenge, why not? ^_^" 

I have tried to use the term FREELOADER in my (or human's) usual perspective.

FREELOADER

I didn’t trespass your heart.  You knocked at my door.  I was crystal clear.  You picked the key and opened it without any permission.  I resisted, I tried to push you away.  But then I felt the thawing was in the offing and your love got swiped in to me breaking the ice.  I was shrilled, still not believing. No doubt that love from this far ap

THE PURPOSE OF OUR LIVES

It All Starts with God 
For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and invisible,. . . everything got started in him and finds its purpose in him. Colossians 1:16 (Msg) Unless you assume a God, the question of life's purpose is meaningless. Bertrand Russell, atheist


It's not about you. The purpose of your life is far greater than your own personal fulfillment, your peace of mind, or even your happiness. It's far greater than your family, your career, or even your wildest dream

A FREELOADER

Igo left the company without any regret. He thought that he wouldn't get any problems by bearing the jobless status. It was probably because he had many friends and some rich relatives. Having left his luxurious flat, he continued the second week of being jobless staying at his uncle's house without any money in his pocket. He didn't try to find any other jobs.

There weren’t any of his uncle's family members at home during the day. So, he was being left alone in the house and didn’t plan to go an

Writing challenge: Broken Window

Who likes broken windows? I can say, almost nobody. But, Sometimes having a broken window is not that much bad! Okay, let me say. First of all, gentle breeze can enter into your room without opening the window. If you are a very busy person it goes with you. Secondly, you can feel the touch of late evening rain drops just standing by the broken window! You may put a bin beneath it (window) and throw something through it, time consuming, right? And, if your AC would not work in any late night, yo

Almost all of us have some memories of our childhood. Some memories are very vivid. Some other memories have left only blurry footsteps on our mind. Some people easily review every stage of their childhood, but some others have a hard time turning the pages of their lives’ books to recall their memories.

A child’s world could simply limit to his/her toys and games. As small kids, the most valuable belongings of ours were toys. We could not even think of losing them even if they were crushed or to

My Loving Mother

My loving mother, you left me like in a dream,
I still feel you here close to me,
Though it’s ten years….
But it looks to me like yesterday,
I’ll always remember….
How you cared for me with all the love you had,
In your hearted with compassionate,
You bore everything, with equanimity,
You were my strength evermore,
As for me; I am still your little girl,
Whom you led by hand,
I still feel sleep on your lap pocket,
Get rolled up you,
You were never tired to see to my needs,
I’ll always miss you mother dear,
No

A working Woman in our society.

Since an industrial revolution in 1970s, there is a rapid increase for equal opportunity. In recent, women are being given more opportunities as compared to men. The women comparatively feel more secured from the aspect of financial need. However, she still feels uncomfortable as far as moral support is concerned. Working among male employees, who give strange gaze at her, hinders her from applying her ability she possesses.

Most of the working women, due to slight negligence in dealing with ma

Good and Evil

And one of the elders of the city said, "Speak to us of Good and Evil."
And he answered:
Of the good in you I can speak, but not of the evil.
For what is evil but good tortured by its own hunger and thirst?
Verily when good is hungry it seeks food even in dark caves, and when it thirsts, it drinks even of dead waters.
You are good when you are one with yourself.
Yet when you are not one with yourself you are not evil.
For a divided house is not a den of thieves; it is only a divided house.
And a

Broken Windows

Two days ago, I wanted to write this blog. Broken Windows, I wrote the title first, and I did not know what to write next. I mean what topic or subject should I talk about? By the way, do we usually write the topic first and  then we write its title, or is it the other way round? Some people say the topic and then the title. Others say the title and then the topic. However, which one of the two hypothesizes or suppositions is correct, I am in a hole and I did not know what to do. The idea or rat

2347262826?profile=originalDear friends! As you all have some problems using participles, I decided to post this blog as I had promised. First, I will tell you some theory. In fact, you can read it in any grammar book, but I will try to make a long story short. So, let’s proceed!

The participle is a part of speech combining the features of a verb and an adjective/adverb. In English there is The Participle I and The Participle II. They fulfill different functions in a sentence.

The Participle I has the following forms:

Prominent Painters 101

Many of us have an artsy friend who thinks that she's the missing link between modern and classic art. You know, the one who sometimes eats lipstick to feel 'red' inside? Yup, her. It's her birthday and instead of going to a bar or a nice restaurant like a normal person; she wants to go to an art gallery. Typical. Do you have any problem recognizing different artists? Have you forgotten who's who and you don't wanna be humiliated in front of your semi-pretentious friend? Lemon squeezy! Here's a

I get the picture, and you?

Let's suppose you are listening to a conversation between two Japanese speakers and you don't speak Japanese at all. What the Japanese speakers could conclude about you?

They could come to the conclusion you haven't got the picture about what they were talking together.

This post's idiom is get the picture. It means "to understand a situation".

Let's imagine a few more examples:

It was coming so much news about the new president measures, that at first, I couldn't get the picture what was happening;
