To whom it may concern,

I have been the recipient of an impolite comment. Once. Big whoop! Who hasn't? It happens, hey sticks and stones, right? We all are grown-ups here (minus some of our cute and adorable members who have not entered the astonishing(?) world of adulthood yet), and we know that adults swear. Boy, do they swear! Sometimes it just feels right, you know? But the fact of the matter is that MyEC is for learning and teaching English. A step by step guide to swearing is not the priori

THE WANDERING SPIRIT!

Last night I had a nightmare. I saw that I was in a net café where some people were already there. A girl came floating to me and hold my arm very firmly. I got a bit frightened.

I should like to thank Expector Smith for kindly agreeing to become Group Administrator for the Official MyEC Welcoming Committee.

This group, started by Tara, has been very helpful in encouraging members to welcome new members and "show them the ropes".

Expector and other existing group members have many good ideas on this subject. If you would like to participate, please feel free to join the group. I know that Expector - and other members - will welcome you to the Welcoming Committee :)

Take a look at this picture. Can you tell which way the bus (Okay, it's nothing like a bus, just work with me!) is going? Right or left? I know what you're thinking, "Are you kidding me? How would I know? You're being ridiculous!"

Seriously, look again. Nothing, huh? o.O                                              

This question was asked to a bunch of preschoolers in the U.S. With the exact picture. 90% of them voted for left. When asked why they said, "Because you can't see the door to get on t

At the start of 2016, I said to myself to take simple things in life and be happy. I never thought that it will involve changing my life style. I never thought that I could find happiness in running and hiking too.

Like many women, I always bemoaned about my weight, while chugging down a lot of yummy food. Diet is just a fancy word, more like a myth rather than a reality. After my surgery last year, exercises are too few and far in between. Don't get me wrong. I'm not obese, though I'm not at my

A "Wake up, you're gonna be late. Again!" from your mother,

a slight kick from her when you want to sleep for five more minutes,

a good morning kiss from her when you say, "Ouch! I'm up, I'm up, I'm up.",

a manly hug from your father,

a sigh of relief from you which means that he's got your back; no matter what,

a baby's laughter in a crowded subway,

a secret handshake with your best bud that was cool once you invented it, but it was awfully weird for others, (the handshake is still cool for you two,

I am happy

Life is short

But I am happy

I am happy to work

I am happy in rest

I have no vehicle to travel

But I am happy

To walk by feet

If nobody with me

I am happy alone         

If someone angry on me

I am happy with that aggration

The past has been gone

I am happy with the memories in the past

Future will come

But I am happy to wait the future

My life is full of happiness

Life is short

I am happy

I will be happy

I will stay happy

Because I am happy with my attitude to be happy

Stay happy

Do you know what's to be on the horn of dilemmas? If you don't, know it's preferable not to be on the horn of dilemmas. The expression on the horn of dilemmas is an idiom and means:

a)"faced with two equally undesirable alternatives";

b)"unable to decide between two things because either could bring bad results ";

c)"having to decide between two things, people, etc".

Probably, you're on the horn of dilemmas when you have too much homework to do and at the same time you have to do washing up.

PART 1, the first time I was hospitalized. :D This time, I won’t tell you about the same case but the foolish ones that I can’t forget. :D

When I was at the college, I was a secretary of the student organization. On the active day, I went everywhere with much cash in my wallet. It was in the evening when I was home that I found there’s no wallet anymore in my back pocket of my jeans. I searched through my room, around the house, and also the park of my motorbike. No hope. I lost it. I calmly face

Has something ever made your hair stand on end? I explain. This expression is the idiom make someone's hair stand on end which means "to cause  someone to be very frightened".

So, now, you already know what this expression really is, probably you'll agree that at least one time in your life, you felt like something made your hair stand on end.

It's not difficult really! Maybe a sci-fi film that you watched very late on telly or a friend or cousin that played a trick on you, made your hair stand on

In one of my previous blog entires; I mentioned Peanuts comics and appreciated Charles M. Schulz's brilliant work. This blog is dedicated to Bill Watterson who is a heap of awesomeness on legs! Actually, my old collections of Calvin and Hobbes were kinda my bedtime stories during childhood. As a kid, I wasn't a big fan of fairy tales. No wonder I turned into a realist now. A disturbingly cynical one!

Whenever I flip through the pages, I keep telling myself, "It's just a quick look. You're just go

Aloha EC birds!
Weekend is coming! Don't you feel like a happy panda rolling in the snow??

I've so much work to do that I'm gonna become (more) crazy!!!! 
But I feel sooo happy because I'm gonna be working on a very beautiful and special project!

I'm writing this blog also to ask you for a "special favor". This message goes to all the EC members:
Please, try to make EC a little boring site for the next month... I need to work hard and I can't do it if interesting things are happening here!

   Hello dear friends. In this blog, I'm going to translate two beautiful Persian poems which is written in my profile in Persian, rimed in new-style Persian poetry by two famous Iranian contemporary poets, Hamid Mosadegh (1940 -1998) and Forough Farrokhzad (1935-1967). Actually the first poem is related to H. Mosadegh, and several years later, F. Farokhzad have rimed the second one to reply to H. Mosadegh's poem !!

   You laughed at me and didn't know  ,,,  with how much fear, I stole that apple

I'm the eye of your storm
Your lion’s roar
On the battlefield
My Love will be your shield

My weird smirk was no more a strange thing to my little brother. With an amusing look, his eyes threw me unspoken question I didn’t need any word to answer. Just a demure smile and he took it as “I’ve got a new guy”.

“Another ailurophile?”

“Nah, but he has a dog”

No cause for alarm
I will come to arms
The world could fall
We'd still be standing tall

It never came to my mind I would be attracted to a comely pe
