First off, don't hate me; I'm just a messenger. Second, how many times have you bought a famous brand name and kicked yourself for doing it? I'm not one to judge (I am, actually), but it seems like that some companies tend to decrease the quality of their products drastically the very moment they make sure that they won't end up like The Bluth Company! I could name a dozen real enterprises who failed miserably, but let's not go there. To add insult to injury, some companies don't even bother to

" There is no heart as big....as your smile, when u laugh, cry, or even when you are sad; fallen like a star, mad; looking upset from afar, or even glad, with your eyes sparkling like million flashes of brilliant light in the cold, and dark night. You might sometimes get jumpy like a little green frog, found jumping from one log to the next, never seeing our most common, middle ground. We may fight light cats, and dogs, but at the end of the day it wont matter who is right or wrong, because the
Sushant Rane is an artist who creates 3D drawings of everyday objects. He draws light bulbs, forks, spoons, cans, knives, you name it. It takes a day to finish one artwork. He works with Copic markers (whatever the heck they are) and graphite pencils.
Check out some of his works:
Not bad, huh?
I was a little bit skeptical, you know? Then I watched this:
And, this:
I want to tell you what measures you should take before going to china. Don't get me wrong. Of course, it is a nice country to visit. But I think we should know something.
1. First check out the weather forecast. Its northern part is colder than the southern part. So, if you are going to visit Beijing and near of it during winter or in the beginning of spring, please bring your winter clothing more.
2. Although it says spring begins from February but believe me it is cold and windy before April.
Two days ago I got back from China. I went there to attend in a seminar. Yes, it was my official tour and we were 18 in number.
In the very beginning I was worried about the weather condition. You may understand, I am from a place where winter means cold country's fall! So, I kept googling and asking my known persons to get real weather forecast.
We started our journey in March, 5 to Guangzhou and then flew again to Beijing. We reached Beijing at 12.30 a.m. I felt really cold when I stepped out f
The title of the blog is written based on a quote of Benjamin Franklin who was a writer, a philosopher, a scientist, a politician, a patriot, a Founding Father, an inventor, and publisher.
The title is self-explanatory somehow, and gives you the idea of what the theme of this blog is about. Yes. The topic is about “procrastination”.
Admittedly, we all have done and still do procrastination. So, let’s put a spotlight on the reasons behind this phenomenon, and then speculate about the solutions to s
Learning homophones with wolves
about homophones by homophobe
Good day folks, first of all, what is homophone.
The word “homophone” is used to describe a word that sounds the same as another word, but that has a different meaning. It comes from the Greek words “homo”, meaning “same”, and “phone”, meaning “sound”. The two (or more) words may be spelled differently, but just to make life difficult, they can also be spelled the same.
It is easy to distinguish them when you read or write, but is very di
I've noticed that some members here may be tired of the blogs about learning or teaching English. They think we should try to pay more attention to those blogs which are not directly related to English learning or teaching.
Yes, MyEC is more than just a great place for learning or teaching English.
First, it's a social network. We can mingle with other people from around the world. You can communicate with others by writing blogs, uploading photos, chatting, or joining in a discussion. Sure, you
I love you so much.
Please never doubt this is true.
But I'm having such
A hard time with you.
You want me to tell,
But there are reasons why I must stay quiet.
It puts me through hell
That I live with this secret.
I know it makes you feel like I don't care,
But I promise that's not true.
I love you, but I do not dare
To tell mom and dad about you.
IDEA OF HAPPINESS:
Idea of happiness depends upon what a person has at the very specific moment. A person may think that without wealth there would be no happiness, so he would try to get more and more wealth. But if he be contended and have satisfaction with what he has, there is happiness in it. One cannot get happiness by laboring for it. Happiness comes as naturally and as refreshingly as the morning air. A person even can get happiness by enjoying the work in hand. Our high hopes and s
These are some comebacks retorted by some iconic characters throughout the history. As you probably know, a comeback is a quick reply to a critical remark:
Admirer: Herr Mozart, I'm thinking of writing symphonies. Can you give me any suggestions as to how to get started?
Mozart: A symphony is a very complex musical form. Perhaps you should begin with some simple lieder and work your way up to a symphony.
Admirer: But Herr Mozart, you were writing symphonies when you were 8 years old.
Mozart: Yes, bu
You might have heard of the term “Global village”, and probably know what it refers to. Global village was attributed to the world after the arrival of the internet technology. In other words, it was a metaphor for the immense globe which turned into a small village in which everyone could easily get in touch with other people all around the world. Nowadays, you only need to enter a few characters into the net and get access to the every corner of the world in less than a minute.

Parts of Speech"
I tried my level best to describe English- Parts Of Speech the way I was taught when I was child with the intention to help the learner who are still struggling to understand the fundament of English.
There may be many examples which help the learner comprehend intricacies of the subject. The parts of speech is the most fundamental rule of English. The most of learners have been found reluctant to learn them. Every word that we utter is a part of speech which maybe Noun,
CAN I BE YOU?
“Who would you like to be if you could be someone else in EC?” That’s what came in my mind when……… Oh, sorry, I don’t know exactly when.
First of all, I thought about being the BOSS! Yeah, Mr. Essberger. But then I thought if I were Mr. Essberger, then almost everybody would just comment for me, “Sir, thank you for this.” Or “Sir, thank you for that.” Or “Sir, thank you for both of them.” Or something which almost has “Thank you.” And it makes you feel bored somehow, you know? I thin

Tina came back home from school, the lunch didn't taste nice, so she ate a bit and went to her room to study for her exam.
In the evening, she was very hungry but the dinner was too unsavory for her to eat, she ate some junk food instead.
She became ill and couldn't take her exam.
This blog post is dedicated to a 'troublemaker' comma that is kind of controversial (and I love controversial topics!)
Who doesn't wanna learn some grammar on weekends?! Noone!, right? :D
So this is me coming right in time, one more time. Let's go!
The Oxford Dictionary describes the Oxford Comma (aka 'serial comma') as "an optional comma before the word 'and' at the end of a list."
Not to use the Oxford comma can sometimes cause strange misunderstandings:
"I love my parents, Lady Gaga and Obama.
“I started doing it at the tender age of six. Once having tried it, I couldn’t quit. All my thoughts were about it, I spent my each spare minute doing it. I felt ashamed of myself. Other boys were playing football in the yard but I was in my room engaged in my favourite pastime. I just couldn’t stop doing it! Soon it became my mania: I started doing it at night, under the blanket, so that my parents wouldn’t catch me doing it. But my father noticed it. He said that he had the same addiction and
