Listen To News: China Eases Population Control ~ 31 December 2013

Discussion Question: Do you think a baby boom in China is the answer to the country's aging population problem?

  It's a controversial question to solve. But, I think this policy should be seen  like a temporary one, that is, a restricted  policy to be a very dangerous try to give effectiveness to the country's progress noticed over past few years.

   Maybe other short-term policies could be taken into account in order to reach the g

New Year

This new year bring a hope

To have a better life

The past never return

But the memory always return

The mind keep the best

But the sadness never be the best

It will remain a wounded heart

Only a sincere affection will touch the heart

To remove the sorrow

Is the happiness come tomorrow?

No one know that’s the misery of life.

GIVING AND RECEIVING

"Giving n Receiving"

God created His most beautiful creation “us” the human being, and adorned “us’ with “Relations”. All relations; Blood or the ones we make ourselves like “friendship” or “love” based on emotions. It is in our instinct, to make relations or to strengthen the existing ones, we give and take presents. So to maintain the equilibrium between emotional relations ‘giving and receiving’ is the formula. Love is possibly the most powerful and potentially the most beautiful gift we give

Happy New Year To All

When all is said and done, 365 days of existence is merely a blink in God's eye. Scientists try to prove and count the seconds while the faithful rest assured that time doesn't matter.

Whatever your opinion is regarding the subject, time still passes. We're all born with a sense of optimism and hope. Some of us grow into adulthood while raising children. A few choose other paths while pursing fantastic careers. Many are caught somewhere in between those two scenarios for a brief moment. In the en

Sorrows and happiness ( part-two)

Yes, life is always full of happiness and sorrows.  Sometimes someone gets the worse more than the flip side. But there is always something to be happy...does not matter how much!

Let me  say a little about that young lady who is just a housemaid, uneducated, unattractive (by the cruel reality), who is in a real distress in her young age.

In true sense, her husband has left her alone with their son a couple of years ago. After that she has managed a menial task and trying to survive. But she never

Have you ever eaten Rawon? This Indonesian cuisine has a distinctive seasoning , called kluwek. Kluwek (Pangium edule) on rawon used as a spice and natural coloring of black on the gravy.

it makes my heart melt! whenever im walking outside, seeing those homeless, orphans, beggers, i look at them and see plainly that their biggest dream in this life is to have a shelter, a place that they can call home, this makes my eyes full of tears all the sudden! i feel  more and more thankful for everything i have, the pain they have to deal with and how much they struggle just to pass the day pushes  me to try as much as i can to help them out and ease their pain  sometimes just by giving t

Writing Prompt: Almost Vs Almost All

Writing Prompt ~ Almost Vs Almost All

Dear  Claire,

almost went on holidays. There are just some weeks of work for me to go on holidays. You know, I almost forgot to buy the airplane tickets to visit you in Canada  during the New Years' Eve . There are loads of unfinished reports that my boss said to me to do until Friday afternoon, that's why I haven't travelled yet . Most of my work friends already went on holidays because they advanced all their extra work schedule some weeks after me. So, my

I believe that learning a foreign language is an established training. I've spent my whole life working on mastering languages.
We have to practice every day and should communicate with natives as often as possible.
If we do not have the time or a chance, we will lose our conversational skills.
They say practice makes perfect; whatever I think about this slogan, it seems to be true.
At the same time, I am aware of the fact that I will never speak like a native.
For me, the most noteworthy is com

Bush Fire Sun and Moon

In Australia we have many bush fires in the summer months. These bush fires can some times injure people and destroy homes and wildlife. The sun turns a shade of red because of the fires. This photo was taken from the back of my home.

The photo of the Bush Fire Moon was taken at the front of my house. The moon also turns a shade of red.

The nights are long

THE NIGHTS ARE LONG 

Broken hearts and broken dreams

Woken up to many silent screams

My mind does race without a word

I try to yell but I can’t be heard

 

I lay awake and cannot sleep

My heart does march to miss a beat

The hours drag, the time so long

I lay to hear a bird’s first song

 

Another night has been and gone

Another night of what can go wrong

I face the day a bothered sight

I dread the coming of this night

 

I fear it will happen all again

I subject myself to so much pain

My mind must focus and not stra

My very first poem as a 6 year old

Germs

Germs are big, Germs are small

Some Germs you can't see at all

Some are fat, some are thin

All are good for the garbage bin

As a young boy I never really liked school. I was a dreamer,and always thought about being somewhere else,any where but school. I would imagine that I was a great explorer, searching for lost treasure,documenting the many wonders I saw on my way. The teacher would get very frustrated with me. I would of much rather be catching butterflies and chasing the pot of gold at th

Just One More Hug

JUST ONE MORE HUG

 

You breathe much life into my day

Just one more hug before you go away

You lift me up when I am down

You make me laugh as if a clown

 

I feel your heart,beat through my chest

To have this feeling sure is best

You bring a smile onto my face

When I feel my heart to quicken pace

 

Those days drag on when you’re not here

Just one more hug before you disappear

I long for the next time we do meet

And another hug for when we greet

 

In your hugs I feel so warm inside

When life itself is a cold still

The Greatest Gift


2346731939?profile=original
On my way to my brother's house on Christmas Day, I checked my phone, and found an email from MyEC's video mod Robbie! As many of you know, Robbie lives in the Philippines. None of us had heard from him since early November when Typhoon Yolanda hit his country. We sent messages and worried and prayed. We also worried about Lynne, another active member of MyEC who has been with us since the very beginning. I cried tears of joy to receive the news on Christmas Day that Robbie was okay. The next
