Why am I here?

Alright. First of all, I found this place quite amazing because it's just like another facebook.

I banned myself from having a facebook because it has wasted me a lot of time. I was quite mad about it and deleted it.

So, I could just do the same thing right here. I would like to improve my English too. I don't get much chances to write. I love writing, but, my writing is bad.

[I was so happy that my friend Ana agreed to be a guest blogger on my MyEC blog. Ana and I were high school friends. We were always in the same homeroom because our last names were alphabetically close. A homeroom is the room where you go to get your attendance checked. You also listen to announcements and the national anthem. Then you disperse and go to the classes that you have chosen, such as French or Drama. Ana and I recently became reacquainted through Facebook and our blogs. She is an ama

Prayers....

Have you ever noticed that everytime we pray, it makes us feel assured, humbled and selfless? Like you could share your thoughts, plans, and things that you want to accomplish to God.
