I got the idea to write this after I read Tara's blog:I don't Know What to Blog: Blog Topic Ideas. I'm going to tell you about the most dangerous sentence I've ever written. And the sentence would embarrass me if people had a chance to read it.

I have a blog on one of user generated content websites for almost a year now. My reason to have a blog on the website is as a direct test to my writing ability. It has wide range of readers from native English readers and non-native English readers. I wan

2346402474?profile=originalThis weekend I am going to be talking to teachers about the "Learning English Video Project". This is a set of 7 short films about learning English. Each film takes place in a different country. I am going to show teachers an example from the film "Thoughts from Brazil".

I think MyEC members will like "Thoughts from Brazil".  It features some teens who use sites such as Facebook or MySpace to practice English. 


Will you take part in an online video lesson with me? 

Feel free to do all 5 activities

The Kalibo Ati-Atihan Festival

2346399154?profile=original

Early this year, I was able to experience one of the most celebrated festivals in my country. It's the Kalibo Ati-Atihan Festival.

The Kalibo Ati-Atihan Festival is held every third week of January in the town of Kalibo, Aklan, Philippines. This is celebrated to honor the Holy Child Jesus Christ. Local people call him, "Sr. Sto. Nino". It is common for devotees and tourists to carry icons and replicas of the holy child. Just like what I'm holding on some of my photos.

Overdose Love, Story!

Hello! – Seeing the number, I was shocked, because I had had a troubled time with my product Head in the office when he promoted a 6 month internship girl who was a trainee of mine to a Producer. This is against the promotion policy and I'm a senior and experienced employee in my team, and it is not even the time of promotion, how can he promote an intern this way? Now I've to report to her every time, even though she doesn't know the work. It makes me feel like I am licking her sandal like a do

Hello, my dear members of EC!

Today I have a wonderful mood and want to share it with every person in the world. The reason for it is my today’s lesson, which I gave for my ten-year-old students. You know this digital generation. They’re crazy about laptops, computer games, robots and so on. The theme of the lesson was “My favourite things”. And just for a change I offered them the video and the song from the musical “The Sound of Music” (1965).  A young woman Mary sings about the things she love

A strong man, who has known power all his life, may lose respect for that power, but a weak man knows the value of strength. And knows compassion! – Captain America: The First Avenger [2011]

Preface: Why I’m writing about war and fighting? This question can arises anyone mind. Why? Because I do a lots of aimless thinking, like most people, but I can still choose to use my mind to get and accomplish things, and I do that all the time.

RAINING IN SAUDI ARABIA

This is Monday night, April 9 and it is raining.  Even better, it has been raining almost daily since last Wednesday night.  We love the rain here. 2346395022?profile=original

The first clouds looked good from the back window of my classroom.

In many countries people are not excited by rain.  In fact, someone might say that the weather was terrible if it is raining.

On the Arabian Peninsula people have a different view of weather than people in wetter climates.  Here, we are excited when we clouds.  If someone says that it m

2346395159?profile=originalJihan was stunned, speechless for about five minutes as our pajero zigzaging along the sandy path off road about 50 km from city of Dubai. It was the first time her father allowed her in such a tour as she was too young for a tough journey. Her laughter exploded when Kevin and me were shouting amusingly every time our bodies were shaken by the rough trail. “It was nothing to be scared after all”, I guessed Jihan thought.

Alfred, her father, asked me: “How do you like it Dad?”

“Yeah, I enjoy it ver
