Morning walk is my exercise.  On the last lap of my walking along this subdivision streets, a familiar jogger smiled and greeted me "Good morning, Fe!"   I was surprised!  It's the first time she greeted me by my name!  It  lightened my spirit!  There's magic hearing someone greet me by my name!

Whereas before and as always whenever we cross our path in the course of our morning exercise, she just smile. Or, sometimes, just wave her hand as a greeting.  Later on, in low voice greet me "Good morni

What a beautiful morning.. I woke up with smile on my face without a single wrinkle as I'm using Nivea Creme Q10, that promised me to make my skin younger, more elastic and hell yeahhh I do believe it!! When I came to bathroom I started brushing my teeth with Colgate Max White Tooth Paste, which will make my teeth perfectly white like the pearls and which is damn "Number 1 recommended by dentists!" Afterwards I washed my hair with L'oréal Shampoo that will make my hair shiny and su

Those who saw me (the surrounding people) said that I didn't care (after our separation)
they said that to be with or without you, I will survive!
they said that I all my lifetime have never cried and said that your tears during our separation didn't bother me!
they said that it's impossible that I might be lost after leaving you!
And said that after leaving you, I do live all my days in spring!
they said that I and you have never been matching for each other!
And said that it would have been

I introduce three children's games in Japan.

Irooni: First, the children choose an oni(target). When the oni says a color, the other children must keep touching the color before the oni catches them. If someone is caught by the oni before touching the color, the child will become an oni.

Darumasangakoronda: First, the children choose an oni. The oni stands facing a wall. The other children stand to the right a little away from the oni. The oni says "Darumasangakoronda" and turns to face the ot

A few seconds after Batuhan left the chatroom, I logged in…

A sudden popped of private message came to prompt…

Stranger: Hi Risty! How are you?

Hmm..moving the cursor.. click “view profile”… from Germany…think, think, ok.I want to have new friends, I’ll try this one.

Me: Hello! Good afternoon Mr.___

Stranger: Just call me ___, you want to improve your English, right?

Sounds interesting.

Me: Yes, that’s right and to gain some friends too.

Stranger: I will tell you something, you

Well, well! It seems it was not a good idea to start this year with the test on advanced grammar! OK, your answers made me change my mind and propose you much easier test. Again, you should find and correct all the mistakes in each sentence. There may be more than one mistake in each sentence (their number is in the brackets). You can change the word order if it is wrong, add or delete articles, prepositions, change tenses, voices, but you shouldn't replace or add any other words.

Here is your ta

“You’re a cold-blooded monster!” Blue cringed and suddenly smirked then shook his head. I know I am, though it seems like I could kill anyone and accept anyone’s demand someone’s life and wants to be dead with a very reasonable price, in my heart, I couldn’t kill anyone, including this man at my front. I may seem like a beast lying behind this innocent face, holy genes! But I’m not yet qualified to replace satan down there. We talked about so many things happened after we got freed from that mis

My Ode to Destillation

To tell about my distillation:
it's not a kind of pure invention.
Lets make me such sweet fine liquids
and some of men feel like addicts.

My fine liquid is made from fruits
its name is liquor, so it suits.
And when I finish my production
I have to think about my action.

Freelanders will soon asking me
to give them my liquid for free.
Fleixibility is now my task
for that I need to wear a mask.

To wear a mask is my invention
so that I don't lose my attention
Why? People wa

Dear friends,

When Luci left MyEC Chat Room after a stranger had said ‘I love you’, I still continued the chat. :D

STRANGER : ‘I love you’

ME : Ohh, I’m so touched. 

STRANGER : You know, I really love you.

ME: How can? But we even never had met before…

STRANGER: You made me love you more . . .

ME: Hey, is it you in your profile picture? You look so handsome. I believe many girls are around you there.

(:D :D Just joking. Trying to distract his nonsense. :p)

STRANGER: I don’t have any girl, dear. I’m alon

Early morning at the coffee shop.

Someone coughed at the side where I was relaxing and well sit, crossed legs and totally captivated and enthusiastic to what I’m doing to my laptop, I didn’t bother to look who’s that as I know that the coffee shop has so many customers, and there were available seats so I’m sure nobody will interrupt me..Then suddenly he coughed again, oh! Maybe it’s the waiter wanted to asked me if I have something in mind to order, I chinned up and faced the person, I’m right,

This is on the motivation by onee's Dialogue Challenge: Meet A Stranger:

I was as usual alone sitting on the bench in a garden under on big oak tree. I was as usual in my gloom mood, as was missing something. 

Me: What is that I am missing? 

There was no answer, but the quietness imbibed by my oneself, there were other people, too.

Me: Have I done something wrong? Have I hurt someone? Have I broken someone’s, heart? 

Voice, (she): What are you thinking MI? Why are you sad, when you have done what you

This conversation is one of these that really happened, it isn't anything like "once upon a time" but bittersweet reality :D

Stranger (a guy): Hello, how are you doing?

Me: I am fine... you?

Stranger: I am ok

(Awkward silence)

Stranger: Where are you from?

Me: Ehmmm... it is written in my profile.. Are you so lazy to check it?

(Two mins of silence)

Stranger: So you are from the Czech republic. I like this country.

Me: Really? What do you know about it?

(Stranger googling where the hell it is situated ...a

The word ‘Mother’ derives from the Old English term modor, which is cognate with the Latin word mater and the Greek word meter. (From the Latin term, such words as maternal and maternity are derived.)

The term refers not only to a female parent but also to a woman in authority, such as the head of a women’s religious community; it was also long employed as a respectful term of address for an elderly woman. It may also apply to an origin, precursor, or source, as in the expression “Necessity is t

Yes, we've been trying to encourage you to write more and we do have reason to do so.

Only when you write can you realize that it's not always easy to write something readable or interesting. Only by writing can you really improve your writing skills. So, it makes sense for us to come up with some writing challenges or blog challenges which we think will inspire you to write more.

It takes a lot of time and effort to write skillfully or fluently, and it can be so frustrating or discouraging when y

Well, I am laughing while typing these lines! To join such words like DISTILLATION, FLEXIBILITY and FREELOADER in one verse is not an easy task. But I like to solve insoluble problems. So, here is my verse. Sure, it is funny and is not good at all, but I like ad-lib, so there you go!

Why not to write about distillation,

One of the greatest world inventions?

This word inspires me giving a chance

To write much more than a single stanza.

Its final product is the nectar,

A godlike pure fantastic drink

And,

Hi All,

Everyday is going to become a new day for us. None of us can predict how the day will be. It is not in our control.

Suppose we lost an opportunity yesterday, that may come tomorrow. Or you may get a better one.

So stop thinking about the unfulfilled past think about the brighter future tomorrow.

What is going to come tomorrow is purely based upon your thinking. Today if you are thinking good, you are going to get something good. If you are thinking bad, you are going to get a bad. So be care

Winds passed through yellow colored dry forest say it's a difficult time for everyone, there was no rain from the middle of last year...., animals are running here and there looking for a drop of water...weakers were hunted by the strongest one, their miserable life will change the tomorrow fate..... I can't change the every worst thing that going to be suffered them but I did something for them...I kept a pot of water for innocent animals and drops some grains for them..... So I'm glad to think
