Do you know anyone around you, who tries so hard to be chirpy during the family get-togethers, or in a friend's birthday party, but the moment the fun's over they look like a poster child for depression ads?
You think to yourself maybe I should go to them, give them a friendly nudge and say:" Hey pal, everything alright?" But in the end you just smile at them, they smile back and that's that.
Next time, go and ask, before it's too late.
In loving memory of my best friend...
Question: If someone offered to give you a free vacation trip anywhere in world, where would you go? Why do you want to go to this place? What would you do when you got there?

I love to answer these kind of questions, because makes you imagine how uplifting is to travel. You know, it's like you've already had been there, that is, in your imagination you do have been to the places you wish before. We can even visualize the trip tour we co
Have you ever wondered what are you going to do with a heap of garbage that is staring at you? Certainly they are going to pay a little visit to the trash can. But there is another way. Reuse them! You heard me, this way, you can do the mother nature a huge solid. I am not going to bore you with statistics here and say how many used bottles are thrown out every minute, or how many plastic bags are scattered in the wilderness after a lovely camping, or...I think you got the picture. That is not m

You don't have to hurt any piñata just because other people tell you to do so!

Have a lovely week.

Hello my friends,
what about to take another Writing Challenge? Let's make ourself smarter in kind of an interesting way because I am coming up with my this awesome idea :-) You might know, where your friends, you met here come from and where the country is situated in the map.. but what about to get to know something more about their country?
I think, it would be great to share, what your country is famous for. Be it something traditional or something you would surprise others with, just try to w
How many times have you bumped into colorful, weird looking drawings that do not make any sense at the first glance while crossing a street? Honestly, I can't remember. I don't mean those giant words that are either the name of a band or a curse word. I mean real art.
The society calls it graffiti and those who are into this kind of stuff are labeled as vandalists. I neither confirm nor condemn their work. The point is some of these so-called graffitis belong in a museum. If authorities or city
In the autumn of life, when everything has been said,
All hopes and expectations are all but not yet dead,
Misty memories are all there is left to cling to,
With alzheimer knocking at the door too,
The echo of days long past,
Flood the failing mind,
Oh, how very fast,
Nothing to find!
And yet,
In still warm cinder,
One may still be able to get,
Something worth the trouble to concider,
Something to forget, many to cherish, more to regret,
For not always is the sea placid, sometimes it poses a threat.
Whate
Is my cat laying or lying sideways on the ground?
The verbs lay and lie have been confusing English learners around the world for hundred of years! Their irregular forms make them even more troublesome. They're also common pet peeves even to people with PhDs. So on this blog, I'll tackle this topic with simplicity for the sake of our fellow learners of the club.
Let's define 'lay' first. Lay means to put or place something down (and to put on something). Its past tense and participle form is 'laid
When we consider which animals are clever, what do we think of ? Should we compare the brain weight of animals ? That would mean whales are the most clever, but that is wrong, isn't it? And so there is an interesting index, which measures the rate of brain weight to body weight. It is called the encephalization quotient.
If a cat is 1 in this index, then a human is 7.6, a dolphin is 5.3, a chimpanzee is 2.4, a whale is 1.8, a fox is 1.6, a gorilla is 1.3, an elephant is 1.3, a crow is 1.3, a dog
Hello little EC birds!
Have you ever felt like a stranger?
I guess the answer is: "yeah, sure!", because we all have been newcomers on any occasion: The 1st day at primary/secondary school, college, work… Do you remember now the feeling of not knowing anybody around you, and how nice and important was any small gesture of kindness, any friendly greeting or any nice smile towards you?
Sometimes a nice gesture that for you means nothing can be very important and appreciated by others who you don't e
The Nanny Diaries is a movie about a girl named Annie, (Annie the Nanny, ha!), who becomes a nanny against her will, forcing to live with a little brat 24/7. Being the baby of the family, I never had the chance to deal with kids. They are cute from a reasonable distance, but entering in their world is not always rewarding.
Here are some freaky things that these little raisins told to their nannies and/or babysitters:

Hi friend
Do you know me?
I know you know me
But you often times ignore me.
I am your friend
A really good friend
I can make things clearly
If you just visit me.
I am always here to guide you
Willing to give everything that you need,
Because I am your friend and I will never leave you.
Remember those times
That you have difficulties
In understanding words, I guide you
Remember those times
That you have difficulties
In pronouncing the words, I teach you
And remember
Yes, it's an English idiom, which means 'manage to deal with responsibilities'.
That's not what I'm trying to say, though. People here (where I live) use 'underwater' or 'dive' for those who keep reading or watching but don't bother to leave a comment or say something to show they're here/online.
They'll try to hide. Sometimes they failed to show up for weeks or longer. The thing is you can tell they are still online - you know they're watching. They must have had a good reason to do so - maybe t
But more wonderful than the lore of old men and the lore of books is the secret lore of ocean.
H. P. Lovecraft
He was right. The ocean is a secret, full of life and joy.If you ask me what is your first choice for taking a vacation to cool your head I would certainly say a long walk on the beach, while letting the wind whisper in your ears and the waves tickle your toes. The ocean is teaming with fascinating creatures from those friendly and joyful dolphins which greet you with their ridiculously
Nowadays, we use computers to write (formal) letters, notices, resumes, or numerous posts on facebook, twitter, Instagram, etc. Word software offers a variety of fonts that we can choose from. I always have been curious why people choose a certain font for a certain purpose. For instance, academic papers are favored to be written in Times New Roman (which I hate the most, by the way), and comic strips are written in comic sans. No brainer, right? Look at the image below and you can get my point.
Some words are like hammers ,
Blunt and heavy like lead.
They fall on your soul
Making all senses go dead.
Some words are like daggers -
Sharp and ruthless without restraint.
They leave the soul in ugly scars
To endure an unbearable pain.
Some words are like raindrops –
Tiny things that do not weigh.
But their healing softness
Washes your sorrows away.
Whence did this wound appear?
Harsh words nobody did tell.
The tragic mystery of life –
Untold words can hurt like hell.
There may be thousands of lovers, but rarely there is one who is set on the level of a beloved. How nice it is to make you feel complete that there is someone in a corner of this earth who thinks about you, cares about you in her solitude. Your memory spreads a sweet smile on my face. This is enough for me.
Everybody has a different taste when it comes to clothes. Some prefer a fine tailor-made suit or dress while others like the good ol' jeans and T-shirts.
Most of the time, when classy gets into mind, I think of the whole persona of a well dressed guy. Since what you wear is who you are. Not the brand kind of thing, but the style of clothes you wear on a daily basis. I mean, people are free to wear whatever they like, but there’s a fine line between classy and trashy.
Clothes can define you –
To all the 90's kids:
Do you remember the first time you got your Walkman? The struggle of fitting it in your pocket was insane. Today's kids cannot relate, but how happy you felt walking around among your jealous friends?
Yesterday, I was cleaning my room and my nephew saw an old floppy disk in my waste basket. He picked it up and said: 'You 3D printed a save icon. Cool." I just smiled and sighed.
Do you remember these?

How many times do you see this picture while commuting in a crowded subway? Probably a lot.
When was the last time that you smiled at the little baby who was in his mom's lap looking at you with those curious eyes?
When was the last time that you gave a person a friendly nod who was sitting beside you?
When was the last time that you decided to offer your seat to an old lady instead of listening to the top ten hits on your iPod and closing your eyes?
I can hear you say so what if I didn't, it is th
