My 2013's plans

Having just upgraded a notch in my age tally, I hardly feel any motives to fare the way ahead. What I achieved last year is but the relocation of the family to a new place, which is still entailing endless trivial hand work, which I hate most. What to come still? The vicious circle is spinning there! Sustenance is what makes human beings eke out their living in particularly different ways. Mine seems to be a unique walk of life, given the backgrounds this sort. However, before moving I had vowed

2013 Time for a new beginning

Now that 2013 has arrived, it's time for me to find another job.  As some of you know, I left my job teaching English in Hong Kong last September just before my brother's wedding in October.  I wasn't going to try and begin a new job until 2013 since my father passed away in December, 2012.  

Now it is 2013 so if anyone knows of any TESOL jobs available feel free to let me know.  I have a natural inclination to go where I haven't been before (Mexico, South Korea, Hong Kong) simply because I do en

A poem for 2013

The road ahead


I expect to pass through this world but once;


any good thing therefore that I can do, or any


kindness that I can show to any fellow-creature,


let me do it now; let me not defer or neglect it,


for I shall not pass this way again.

Water Sprinkled Face

I was enjoying the music when suddenly I felt some water sprinkled on my face. "Rain inside the house?" I wondered. In fact, my mom had sprinkled some water to my face because she had been talking with me but I didn't give any response at all. "Sorry, mom. I was wearing headset. Don't you see?"

Delayed Urinate

One day I went to a mountain with my bother, sister in law, niece, mom and grandma. There were strawberries sellers who allowed people to pick them directly from the trees and my niece wanted to do it. So she came out of the car with her father and mother whilst I, my mom and grandma were in the car parked on the roadside.

Shortly afterwards, a car came from backside and took place in front of ours. A young guy came out and walked hurriedly toward our car while his hands trying to open his pant

Missing Remote Control

One day I listened to music from my CD in my bedroom. I sat on my bed enjoying the beautiful songs. When I wanted to change the song, I saw that the remote control was dusty. So I took a tissue paper out of a tissue box next to my bed to clean it. But, surprisingly, the remote control disappeared. I searched it under the pillows, under the blanket, under my butts, but I didn't find it. I was very puzzled. "Where is it?" I asked to myself. "I just held it few seconds ago but now it's gone."

Wrong Text Message

It happened two years ago. One day, my niece who was just still in 3rd grade of elementary school found her lips bleeding because she just hit the wall. Then she borrowed her mother's cell phone to report it to her father. "Pa," she wrote, "My lips hit the wall and they are bleeding. It hurts." But she didn't understand when she read his father's reply. It was written: "It would have been great and tasty if you'd hit them to mine instead of the wall. Don't you think?" Lol!

Conflict Resolution

2346504656?profile=original

As English learning friends of mine graduate and find themselves in the work force, I am beginning to hear complaints from some of them about how terrible the job is, how terrible the boss is, or how unkind their co-workers are. Often their first reaction is to try and find a job somewhere else. Anywhere but here. There may be times when moving on is the best choice, but I would suggest you at least think twice about it before you leave.

When we first enter the work force, we have high ideals an

Hello my dear EC members,

It's me once again here at the end of the year 2012. So, what do you do or what do you remember on the last day of the year on MyEC? It must be different-different things to do and to remember for each and every one, but as it comes to me then the last day of the year is a special day for me on MyEC. It's the day when I say 'good bye' to the calender year and to MyEC year. Don't misunderstand me, I am not saying 'good bye' to MyEC, but it's the day when I joined MyEC in

Hello MyEC friends,

This is not my personal voice blog, but many of friends' who helped, sang, and cooperated together. 

Few days ago, I came out with an idea of singing the song Happy New Year of ABBA for MyEC to celebrate the upcoming new year. I told with Junco that this is inspired by one of her blogs before. She was worried initially that the notes of the song she may be hard to hit, but finally she agreed gladly to join in with me, and instantly helped to recruit some friends to take part i

My Second (first) blog!

Hello Everyone, I am Owais Sheikh. I am from the country Pakistan. I live in the city of Karachi. I work as an SQA (Software Quality Assurance) Engineer since two years.

How my path intersected with My English Club (EC) is somewhat similar to others. Although my basics were good enough in English to survive through my student years. I was very fortunate to have studied under some excellent teachers who instilled belief in me that I was on the right path. But when I made the cross over from studen

How Do YOU Organize Your Life?

2346502456?profile=originalMy husband’s desk is always neat and clean, with maybe one or two stacks of things “to do.” You can see him in the picture, and a desk that is pretty clean. All that is on his desk is a monthly calendar, the book on Egypt’s Nefertiti he is currently reading, a book by C.S.Lewis that he keeps trying to read but is really not very interested in, but he feels he should read it because his son recommended it to him. Also, there is the TV remote, ONE pencil, another calendar, 2013, smaller, that our
