Rainy Day

As I lay here and I wonder

Just what to do today

The sun outside has disappeared

Those clouds have hidden it away

The rain is surely falling

The birds are silent in their homes

Yet nature she’s still calling

I will never be alone

I’m very rarely planning

Because plans do twist and turn

There is never such a sure thing

When its knowledge I do yearn

My day has now just started

The fun has now begun

I put a smile back on my face

I know the sun will soon return

A day is still worth living

A day can sti

Have you ever been in the same situation that you don’t have the heart to refuse people’s requirements even if you don’t want them? I bet many of you have faced this kind of troubles. For me, it will make me feel guilty to see the disappointed expressions on their faces.

So many times I have to persuade myself into positive thinking, comfort myself that making them happy is also a happiness for me. But sometimes it’s out of work and I feel unhappy. I asked myself, why don’t they ask your idea if

One way to figure out the meaning of a word is from the context of the sentence it is in. Use the words around unknown word to help you understand the new word.

For example: She started as a coat checker at Maggie`s place... and, after a series of promotions, eventually became general manager.

The speaker mentions that Ms.Delany "started "in one position and "eventually became general manager".These words describe making progress in a company over time.The context tells you that promotion means re

There was an old homeless woman. She built a small house next to the fence of a king’s palace .
One day, the king saw her small simple house during his morning tour
” whose home is this?” asked the king.
“it belongs to a poor woman” people replied , “she is in the forest now to bring food."
The king ordered his soldiers to destroy her home immediately , because the simple home distorted the view of the fence of palace .

later on , when the poor woman returned home, She was astonished as she saw

I love to travel. I was fortunate to be able to travel to a few countries due to business and also leisure. I have been to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Holland, Germany, France, Belgium, South Korea, Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore to name a few. Most these countries are "familiar" to me. I've read about them and more or less prepared.

However, in 2010, I was asked to follow a team from my Company to go to Kathmandu, Nepal and study some business potentials over there. It was a last minute decisio

Hello,,,

I was thinking many many times to write here..

Really, I have no idea, what should I write. I dont like writing too much, so, I have some problems to keep thinking what to write about.

In my real life, I have many jokes to tease my friends with. And They blushed when I was teasing them with my jokes. I'm just a kid, i like kidding.

But here, I lost my ability to play jokes and also write some sentences in English. I realized, I'm a learner here, that's why i guess it's processing.

Suddenly,

The 5 symptoms of laziness:

1.

Outside the sky is crying

rains follow by

Inside the heart is sad

tears run silently

Happy abandoned me

Dont ask me why

But dear you

left without a bye

They always say

let bygones go by

But how can I try

with sorrow full inside

Time for me to be back

On such a tranquil night

I just wanna tell quietly

It may be a transient bye

Well, I have a lot of ideas to make new blogs, but i had a new one this afternoon when i was in a park. There are a lot of families there, walking together, looking around, taking some pictures with their family.

Are you from Paraguay or Dominica ?

“Morning, dear Mickey!”

Half opened my eyes, I said it to myself, and dressed myself at the same time. Then I went to brush my teeth, wash my face and comb my hairs casually. [because it is Saturday and no school] Having all these trivial things done, I felt quite hungry, so I came into the kitchen to cook my lovely breakfast.

Oh~ After a sleep, I still felt so tired. Without any thinking, I put some rice to the electric cooker, a cup of milk into the microwave, and plugged in the electric kettle

For the better ones to come in

That is very true

Dear, I want to tell you

Happiness never ends

Sooner or later

Happy will be back

You are still innocent

Never are you

Nothing has changed

Dear, I want to tell you

The sun still shines

Flowers still fragrant
