Valentine's Story

 Let's read this story :

        Let me introduce myself. My name is Valentine. I lived in Rome during the third century. That was long, long ago! At that time, Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. I didn't like Emperor Claudius, and I wasn't the only one! A lot of people shared my feelings.

Claudius wanted to have a big army. He expected men to volunteer to join. Many men just did not want to fight in wars. They did not want to leave their wives and families. As you might have guessed, no

My My English Club

Hello My EC..

I am an old member who keeps coming back to my second home no matter how long I was away.. Or a proditor in other words as Deuce has called us.

I have joined in October 2010 at first I was lost like every new m

Hello  muddah, Hello fadduh

Here I am at Camp Grenada.

Camp is very entertaining,

And they say we’ll have some fun if it stops raining.

 

I went hiking with Joe Spivey

He developed poison ivy;

You remember Leonard Skinner?

He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.

 

All the counselors hate the waiters

And the lake has alligators.

And the head-coach wants no sissies,

So he reads to us from something called Ulysses

Now I don’t want this should scare ya,

But my b

I do it because I can.  I can because I want to.  I want to because you said I could not.

You Never Know

         As you know, billions of Asians are celebrating the Lunar New Year (Some people call it "Chinese New Year" or "Spring Festival" in China). People in Korea or Vietnam or some other countries may celebrate it in different ways.  But, one thing's for sure, they all wish themselves or others a happy and lucky new year.

        I myself sent a lot of text messages on the New Year's Eve to wish all of them every happiness, a fortune, prosperity, success, health, a dream come true or something

Valentine's Day

History of St. Valentine's Day

Who is this mysterious saint and why do we celebrate this day?

According to one legend, Valentine was a priest during the third century in Rome. When Emperor Claudius II decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives and families, he outlawed marriage for young men. Valentine was not happy and he continued to perform marriages for young lovers in secret. When Valentine's actions were discovered, Claudius ordered that he be put to death.

Pico Ruivo - after a few attempts

2346522317?profile=original

It is one of the most popular high level walk on the Madeira Islands. Pico Ruivo is 1,861 meters high and that makes it the highest peak on the Island. It provides some of the most incredible views of the island and a variety of flora and fauna. However, the weather condition is unpredictable. It is best to check the weather condition before climbing. 

 

15 January 2012

So it was planned, we were going to climb the highest peak on the Madeira Islands today. The weather was good and I was thrilled.

The Fence

There once was a little boy who had a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily, gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper t
