It's the end of November. Winter has already announced its presence in the air. Blankets are now needed at night, and it's difficult to leave the warmth of the blanket in the morning. 

My home is at the far corner of the city and my office is out of the city. After five or six minutes drive from my home towards my office, the road becomes narrow and bumpy. So it's difficult to sit up straight in the car. We bounce up and down on our seats. And everyday it feels like the bumpy road will never end.

Hello, everyone. 

Today I was thinking about my past and about my childhood in particular. I remember so many things from that time and today I bought one. It was a tasty thing right from the age when I was 4-5 years old. And it caused the waterfall of my memories and I want you to show my past. 

When I was in my kindergarden, it was the USSR time so not so many things were available there but at the same time we were dreaming to get all those stuff I'm going to show you. So, the time machine is r

This is my very first post, and I hope that you'll read this (I'm sorry for grammatical errors)

I will be facing my final exam tomorrow, and it's so terrible because I have Math on the first day. I don't think it'll be easy as I thought because Math is hard if we don't understand it. While me, I don't understand the whole of it. Integral, Linear Programming, Matrix, etc. I keep thinking about how do I get a motivation to study when all I do is just lying around and actually, I am very lazy if it

Are you ready for one more writing challenge? I hope so.

You could always add one or more adjectives before or after every noun to enrich the sentence. You usually do so for a colourful sentence or a vivid description.  Let's compare these two sentences:

-- A man in the village was sitting in a chair.

-- A white-haired old man in the peaceful village was sitting in a black wooden chair. 

It can be so challenging to make such a sentence. Here are some tips for you:

1. You need to find the proper adjec

It starts rain season in Vietnam. It was rain from yesterday until today it is still raining. Although today is the weekend but I just stay at home to see the rain. Rain looks like dogs and cats. Some times if it keeps rain in many days, it can flood all the villages that are near river. I don't like this happen but I really love raining when I look at it through the window. As someone says that "I don't cry, just raindrop"

Today, I am going to share one of my experiences with you. Then I just completed my S.S.C examination. That day one of cousins came to our place so my brother and I had a great day. After passing a busy and joyful day I felt tired. So, I said goodnight a bit early and went to my room to set up the mosquito net. But, when I was tucking the net, suddenly a flying insect (looked like a grasshopper but small in size and color was light ash-black) caught my eye-sight. And, without thinking, I Hold it

Speaking from experience, letting go of something very important to you is definitively the hardest thing to do. Your heart and mind are sort of at war with each other and you sometimes just feel like giving it all up. This blog is based on my own experiences and what I had to go through before I convinced myself that it's time to let go and move on with my life.

Letting go of people you were once or still are madly in love with is a horrible thing to go through. Ask yourself a few

English is my second language; I have been learning English since primary school. During that time I thought that this language was not really important therefore I gave least effort to learn it. In test and exam I always got lower marks which represent my weakness in this language. If I had learned English at my best during that moment, I would be fluent in English now.

As the day passing by, now I realize my mistake and what I am loosed for. I envied some people who need least effort to be exce

Message in a Bottle

My name is Scott, and I am marooned on an island. It has been torture, living here with only a knife for protection. It is an environment that is very alien to me, a man from the big city. The light from the sun is so bright it is a wonder that it doesn’t destroy my eyes. But what I find myself missing the most is a roll of toilet paper, so if you find this note, please bring some when you come and rescue me.

Why Do We Have To Speak English?

by: Princess Monera Lumina Bacarat Indol

My father once told us a story that was also narrated to him by his paternal grandfather relative to why many individuals in southern Philippines are conversant to the English language, particularly those who were in their pre-school years when the Americans formally colonized the country.

In the island of Mindanao, Southern Philippines, historically, we were made to believe that speaking the English language would do us bet

Snooze………  Alarm is ringing; you still want to snooze by pressing right side button of your mobile and sometimes you keep on doing like this and as a result you get late and try to finish your work in a hurry-scurry manner, and then have to think of excuses to tell your boss.  So, “Don’t Procrastinate”.  Waking up early in the morning is a good habit; not only it is good for health but also gives you decent time to do your daily chores satisfactorily before going to office or college.

The Blogger that Saved the Day

It was nearing the end of November when I realized I hadn’t posted a Writing Challenge on MyEC. I grabbed my journal, and started jotting down ideas. Suddenly, the lights went out. An alien appeared in front of me and made just one demand.

“Give me your journal.”

I tried to grab a knife, but it was too late. The alien was already wr
