Good morning :D

I guess it will be my shortest blog :D 

Nowadays I have my life that looks like Niagara falls under control so it's natural that I feel exhausted or even sad and depressed sometimes. Anyway :) As a true choleric, I can't be sad more that 2 days so I was reading my Facebook and found a perfect quote that blows your positive thinking and turns your thoughts to another way. 

And the quote was very very simple. Just read it: 

"If life gave you salt, find another person who got lemons. Th

Raking it In

Conversation :

                    John: He was on the casino and started to make a bundle.                              He was really raking it in.

                    Brad:  I bet he thought he had it made.

                    John:  Then he started losing his shirt.

                    Brad : With his temper he probably hit the ceiling.

Meet the angriest baby in the world! He won't laugh at any silly thing you can try to make him change his angry expression! hahaha

Generally speaking, the wise learn from mistakes of others. So reading and pondering over the events, stories, fairly tales, and mistakes of others enhances wisdom. When I used to ponder over the event of Adam (A.S)'s exile from Heaven, there were some questions bore in my mind that Allah from Whom nothing is hidden, how was it possible for the devil to tempt the Eve and Adam to eat wheat which was prohibited?. why didn't Allah interfere in the whole affairs?

The answers I got later that it's l

Sometimes when the world is full of spite and our dreams are down to the last leaf on the branch, we just want to recoil from everything.   We long to vanish into thin air without leaving even a trace of our scent behind.   Just as if we never existed.    But what if there was another perspective, another set of lens with which we could view our life, would we give it a try?  If we are only able to focus on the good things, would we come to an acceptance,  would we come to a contentment, and dar

Every country has his unique way of celebrating his independence day. The celebration of this day, actually, reminds us the sacrifices made by our elders for the sake of our future. Everyone has his own motive for seeking independence or demanding a separate homeland where he can cultivate whatever he wants just like a newly married bride desires for a separate home where there is no interference in carrying out her own ideas, so she may easily pursue her dream or imagination.

This blog was inspired from Alice E's blog 'What's inside your purse?'. Reading her blog made me want to 'explore' the chaos world of my handbag.

Currently I'm using a navy blue leather Longchamp handbag. I have a few handbags, well it's true the saying that a girl can never have enough handbags or shoes', but all of them are a few years old. When I went to Europe in 2011, I went a bit crazy and bought a few handbags. But even though they are a bit out dated in term of fashion, but I bought them

Full moon is showing its beauty, the dark clouds playing hide and seek, cover the moon to hide the beauty then removes its curtain and there shines the beauty.

So as my beloved, shows her beauty, and then slightly bows her head the silky dark hair slide down on her face by the side to hide her beauty like the cloud hides the moon.

This hide and seek is going on and on since the beauty and the love for beauty descended from heaven.

I am one of those hearts which beats in rhythm with this hide and se

Vince was mowing the lawn when his friend Vic shouted at him out of the blue, "Have you been to Venice?" 

"What?" Vince shouted back. "I've never been to Venus. Are you crazy?"

"Venice, the Italian city. Not Venus, the planet."

Vince stopped to talk with Vic on the lawn. Early in the morning, Vince heard a snap outside and he scrambled to the lawn and only found out it was the cat that was meowing on the fallen branch - the cat might have had a nap on the tree.   He decided to mow and clean the law

One day, a plumber was trying to buy some plums. The plumber was not good at bargaining, much less a veteran bargainer. He couldn't believe his ears when he knew the price of the plums. "How could the plums be so expensive?" he shaked his head. He fished some bills out of his vest, though he thought it was an irrational price. He thought to himself on his way home, "I do have a nice vest on, but that doesn't mean I'm a vet (a veterinarian or a veteran). If I had the veto power, I would veto any

Few days ago I read an article about worldwide greetings traditions and I found some of them very interesting for being so different from my culture.   

In my country (Spain) we usually give two kisses, or we shake hands whether you're in a very formal situation or it's the first time you meet that person.  
While there are countries where people love to kiss (in the Netherlands they give 3 kisses on the cheeks and in France, depending on the region, you can get from 2 to 5 kisses on the chee

 Dear readers

To day I will tell about  a my new experience that makes me shy and lough a lone when I remember that experience. I hope after reading this story, please give your comment including Tarra .

      It happened  last  Saturday morning, when I arrived  at school I signed  the absent list with full confidence. I saw the clock, it's about 6.45 a.m." Oh... I' m not late, I have 10 minutes for waiting for the students in front of my school gate by sacking hands ". I thought. While I was wait

In the stillness of the dawn I found myself at the site of my childhood home, a sight so soothing and hauntingly hopeful. Soft pink summer rays of the sun seeping through the lace curtains nods an assent at my arrival as I make my ascent to a flight of stairs that seemed like an endless carousel ride. I opened the door to my old bedroom and with bated breath I stepped inside, baited by the fond memories of my sojourn there. Recollections of youth allude to secret fantasies a young heart could no

A husband and a wife are two most important members in a family performs like the mind and the heart in an human body. When they both don't accord with each other, affect the whole family so badly just like the contradiction between the heart and the mind effects the whole body. You must be curious about which one is wife, the mind or the heart. There is no doubt that the heart is wife. If not, why do you call your wife "sweat heart", huh? So, let's study the functions of a heart in comparison w

She had always been sceptic about his love since the very first day she declared to him that she loved him, and when he searched his heart, he found that it was too strange that it had already got septic by the bacteria of love.  He knew that the path of love was tortuous and it’s always been a torturous, but it was still titillating and titivating for him to become the glint of her eye. But one day he felt falling from the top storey of his building when she sent him message that she does not l

Yes, it's high time we had another writing challenge. Let's talk about words that look or sound alike. 

I just read a news report about the typhoon Soudelor, and it said there was a power outage in a city battered by the typhoon. The word 'outage' instantly made me remember another word 'outrage' - I may have confused 'outage' with 'outrage'. 

In fact, there are so many words that look or sound alike or 'confusing words' in English. How about 'desert vs dessert', 'gateway vs getaway', 'fussy vs fu
