Have any of you ever heard of Storybird? It's a fun website that allows you to write your own stories based on beautiful art by professional artists. I learned about Storybird via Russell Stannard at the IATEFL conference in the UK last month. 

 

I just created my first Storybird story called "Like Mother, Like Son." On Storybird, just like on MyEC, there is a monthly writing challenge. I submitted my story to the Storybird May challenge (Mother's Day theme). Unfortunately, this challenge is only

Last night,somewhere in Pakistan,a U.S. commandos ended the hunt for Osama Bin Laden. Do you think that, the fact that Al-Quaida's head was killed makes the world safer, or on the opposite, should we all be worried of what is going to come next as a revenge from the terrorists ?

My friends, i know it's a delicate topic to talk about, and i am not asking you if, what did the americans is right or wrong, or if we can find excuses to terrorisms acts. In fact, i have to admit that I have hesitated a

Restarting



Did you remember whether you loved the
person who loved you less than you loved him?



Did you remember whether you loved the
person who had MR.RIGHT felling?



 



Finally we break up after we loved.



We want to restart again after broke up.



 



If could be started all over, get along
well each other. No doubt, no break up.



If could be started all over, let we put
away the memory. No heart, no regret.



 



But restarting can not be promised we will win.
How many times you want, and you will understand.

Due to North!

 

 

I decided to go to Rasht which is located in the Northern part of Iran, along the Caspian Sea. I heard that my uncle has been sick and as a result, I had to go there. Apart from this, I grew up in Rasht and was enthusiastic to see how everything has changed in this area. Rasht is called "Gate of Europe." The reason is that it connects Iran to Russia and consequently Europe. Similarly, it is covered with a vast jungle. Most of the time, it's rainy, humid and one of the favorite locations for sw

If could be



If I could forget someone, something and some else. My
life would not be pained ,lonely and uninteresting.



You gone. I am  used to everything about your voice, breath,
warmth and so on. It was just me after I came back from work. Everything began
to be quiet. Hollowness in my heart. Miss you … miss you…



If could be. I would on the tramp, every city. I would
look for your figure although I know where you are. I also can do this. I am
confused so much. I would go to clean my heart, go to atone about I di

Every now and then, my old friend Buster sents me funny notes or mails that make me laugh or that take me into deep reflexion. I am amazed to see how, such an old man can laugh at himself. No wonder he is still alive after having such a hard life. I believe that it is his sense of derision that helped him all his live long. All of what he sent me for the past 17 years really helped me to relativize things and to find positivenesswhere it was not always obvious.
He became a real ray of sunshine in

2346191270?profile=originalThe Lily of the Valley gently
makes her presence known
with wisps of fragrant whispers
from wherever she is grown.
She lives within my garden
just beyond Sweet Violets' Place.
Miss Lily quietly conducts
her life with genteel grace.

She can't forget the reason she
reclusively resides ~
in God's own Garden she once grew
and now in mine abides,
for she arrived upon this earth
as Eve's most bitter tears,
and Lily of the Valley kept
that secret all these years.

Her pristine bells of purest white
are silent, save for

Friendship on MyEC

friendship1327696753178.jpg?width=400
Aren't these two different? Though they match not bad, don't they?
What do you mean by a friend? I would say, we have two diffrent meanings of the word "friend". Not sure, if not far more. But this number I can explain.

Actually, to start this post, I was prompted after I had read really deep thoughts on the Amal's blog.

In the beginning, I will bring an example. When I say "a glass made of glass",  do you think both of these words of "glass" imply the same? Why haven't you mistaken? Apparently, yo

The Royal Wedding

I've been in London for three times so it has been a good chance to me to see it again by watching the Royal Ceremony. The first things which attracted me were many colorful hats and dresses. Every single detail was fabulous.

Design of Place, Dignitary Guests, amazing Congregation, Military Band, Romantic Decoration, Glorious Wedding Dress and Traditional Coach. I am speechless ; Coronation was completely Significant & Magnificent & Simplicity.

            As I have been working in an office as supporting staff, I have to make some note and analysis report to my boss. Every week, I check and review on documents, progress data and make a short note and report it to my boss. So, I have been working with many files, documents and data.

                One day, my boss was going on a field trip and I got a request from head office to give some data they asked to my boss. I didn’t know what they are asking so I made a phone call to my boss.

Yesterday, on April 26, it was the 25th anniversary of  Chernobyl catastrophy. It seems to be the saddest anniversary in  mankind's history. Every year this day reminds me of the tragedy which can never be forgotten. About 500 thouthand people died the same year. Ukrainian population reduced from 52 to 47 million. Only in my family 3 people died due to cancer caused by radiation! I have always thought that other nations  should have learned from Chernobyl lessons! But this year the catastrophy

My Guest Blogger: Mr. Steve Kaufmann

 

 

Have you ever dreamed to be a polyglot? You may ask what polyglot means. Polyglot is a person who speaks so many languages, let's say four or five or even more. Mr. Steve Kaufmann is fluent in 10 languages. As such, I was eager to know how he could have learnt so many languages whereas I am still struggling to learn only English. Two minutes after I sent my E-mail requesting him to be my guest blogger, Mr.Kaufmann responded and kindly accepted my offer. You can read his blog here: http://theli
