Stubborn and Selfish Lover ( fun blog)

Why did I post it  again?
To give my appreciation to, my sister, noas who gave correct answer. 

 

      Today I am going to share with you a strange and very complicated love story. Surely, this story you have never heard from anyone nor have you read anywhere before. When I read it before my real friends, some friends laughed so much, while some expressed serious opinions on this miserable one-sided love story. However, none of them has given me a satisfactory answer, that put me into terrible p

American Slang - Dating

American Slang II – Dating

So there she was, my supposed hook-up. Although she was not totally airbrushed, you could tell that she had spent hours painting herself up like an Indian on the warpath. Although I had put on my best duds, you could tell that she thought of me as a geek, which I am. Well, after getting our bearings we kind of dug each other, and started making out and had a go at the good old tonsil hockey right in the movie theater. But when I wante

Rosullah said about death.

Rasulullah once said that the smartest person is the one who always remember death. In other words, the smartest person is the one who has vision far into the future. By always remembering his vision and the purpose of his life, he will always be passionate in stepping ahead. The vision of a Muslim is not only limited to the life in this world but more than that, his vision is far away crossing the boundary of the life in this world. The vision of a Muslim is to return and meet with Allah. For h

Knowing a language perfectly with respect to grammar and pronunciation is no guarantee to blend in with the natives unnoticed. A language is not only pure means of communication, but also expresses the speaker's cultural background and mindset.

According to from which country your dialog partner comes from, he does not only want to get his message through, but also wants to communicate his personality. English as the world´s communication tool No. 1 soemtimes reminds me of the Babel Fish, respons

Waterfall of tears, by MuslimHero


Ya rasulullah,
in receiving you my heart clover,
like petals of flower I am your lover,
it blooms,
when you descend inside it covers,
tight , so tight I feel your heart beat in me,
the rhythm is parallel to the sound of streams,
it's like having river kauthar gushing from my veins,
waterfalls of tears wallahi when I hold your dreams,
you left a message I may not understand and don’t know what it means.

You called from inside my heart in whispers,
but you I declined to see,
I have you l

"Every Soul Shall Taste Death"

Submitted by Fatimah on Friday, 04/10/2013 - 21:28

Today was the day dad requested I take a day-off
Little did he know he was soon to go, his soul to take-off
A planned to attend my graduation in September did not take place
God chose this way, planned to take him away by His Mercy and Grace
Allah says, "Every soul shall taste death" so anytime can be your turn...
Your life here is short even though you thought to God you’ll never return
Your here for a purpose, this world is no circus of fr

No Way Gadgets on the Flight?

 Hello guys, I'm back here to continue my post's series about the enchanting world of aircrafts and aviation. So, this post I will talk about the old, and why not, well-known rule: It's prohibited use of phones along the flight time.

 The rule which I refer me,It's the one which determines is totally not allowed the use of any means of communication on airplanes, in heights below 3,000 m due to the interference in the aircraft's signals . This rule applies even when the airplane is on the flight

Discussion Question: Do you choose organic food over non-organic food at the grocery store? Which types of food are you most careful about buying?

I believed in order to answer the discussion question, first we really need to fully understand the meaning of 'organic'. In this term, 'organic' means the way that agricultural products are farmed and processed. In or

Dear friends, on September 30 is International Translation Day. I think we all are related to this holiday as we often  have to translate something from our native language into English and vice versa.

The celebrations have been promoted by the International Federation of Translators ever since it was set up in 1953. In 1991 FIT launched the idea of an officially recognised International Translation Day to show solidarity of the worldwide translation community.

There are a large number of lists, I would like to change in my hometown. If we go through a scale of preference, the education is at the top of all. As there are two main resources, development of a country depends on, natural resources and human resources. How much the country is enriched with natural resources, but they, without human resources, may not be utilized properly. How can human resources be enhanced? Population should be equipped with quality of technical as well as academic educat

The beauty of heart.

The beauty of the heart
is the lasting beauty:
its lips give to drink
of the water of life.
Truly it is the water,
that which pours,
and the one who drinks.
All three become one when
your talisman is shattered.
That oneness you can't know

My Tribute To A Very Good Man

This story is somewhat late in it's posting because my own thoughts and emotions needed to compose it properly. Honestly, It should have written it more than a few days ago. At least it's still September.

Our good EC friend (Helen) inspired me to finally write it.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, I was awakening to a fresh cup of coffee and simply watching the news before the day's work began here in California. Suddenly, it was interuppted by breaking reports that New York City was exploding

WHY ENGLISH IS HARD TO LEARN

 Today, while rummaging through the drawers of my desk, I came across this witty grammatical pun:

We’ll begin with box; the plural is boxes,

But the plural of ox is oxen, not oxes,

One fowl is a goose, and two are called geese,

Yet the plural of moose is never called meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a house full of mice,

But the the plural of house is houses, not hice,

The plural of man is always men,

But the plural of pan is never pen.

If I speak of a foot, and you show me two feet,

And I give you a b

Slang, Idioms, Euphemisms: Revisited

This confusion leads to misuse of these expressions. This article aims to differentiate the difference between the three expressions and give examples to aid your learning.
 
    Slang is an expression that uses informal words mostly through speaking rather then writing. These expressions are not considered a standard part of a language but are
