I had some trouble these last months, and was not joyous enough to come on MyEc and share with you about our lives. That's the way I am: when I'm sad or worried, I turn into a hermit!

In fact, I'm like a bear: I like to be in my lair! I was about to leave the tip of my nose out when I heard the bad news: my grandfather died.

I miss you all, and I will do all my possible to come on MyEc more often. Being

They were confined in  such a large area inside the Sydney's zoo where they had complete acess to several of the best types of green leaves and vegetables.  I confess, at first, I  faced kangaroos like such  angry creatures that I'd  dare to come near them in no way!    But, I  could prove in reality they a

The silence prevailed between them on mobile .

I am the one who used to write in english informally, which is more likely putting things together as what i see in the movie's conversations and implement its words in my writing, cause i thought, it was kind of cool english i should use.
