Guard the heart with Wisdom

 

How messed you have made your life up! I warned you it is a fire, it would burn you.  Love………. true love does not exist, and if exist it is hard to find. But you didn’t give a heed go my advice. Now, look what a mess you have made! What an idiot I have been wasting energy to advise you. She has gone, left you lingering between reality and imagination. It would have better if you have understood.  How strange it was, you didn’t believe me, me your close friend, on the contrary, you believed her,

Causative Verbs and Exercises

Good morning, everyone! :)

Borrowing the quote from Adaline, "Knowledge has no value unless we use and share it", I would like to discuss about grammar.

In this session, I will discuss 'Causative Verb'. From my observation, it is one of the grammatical mistakes commonly made by learners here. Please just ask OR tell me if you have any doubts.

'Causative verbs' is used when one doesn't perform the action himself/herself, but someone else/something else does it. There are 5 causative verbs we would d

Lonely night.

I am alone here in my bed.
There is a lonely night ahead.

My biggest fears, I try to cope.
And I don't know if there is hope.

The lonely night makes dark the sky.
There is no moon the clouds are high.

Where are the stars? Where is the moon?
Also, the wind has fallen swoon.

While watching to the silent night,
comes from the sky a dazzling light.

It comes me close and smiles at me.
I take a breath and feel so free.

As lonely as the night might be.
With this bright light, the worries flee.

A Fragile Heart

Heyy you! Dare to love someone??
Ohh, NO!! In this case, you'll be in DANGER.
Yeah, he's so HANDSOME.
He could be GOOD, SMART, or whatever...

You know you'll be in DANGER,
but why you keep going on??
I told you not to go to THE SEA.
You CAN'T SWIM well there.

You said you're ready for that?? O.K.

(day by day passes)

Are you happy now? I can see your smile,
I see you are in love each other.
But, what about next??
Have you ever thought about it??

Okay, I wish both of you will always be happy.

Previously EC offer daily or weekly some writing prompts inviting learners to practice their writing/blogging on the topic.  This writing prompt has now been discontinued.  I have written blogs on those writing prompts, the following is one of them being rewritten here for your interest:

John, Markus and Linda planned an excursion to a place located at the outskirts of the city a month ago. Finally, the day came and all of them were excited about it. But out of the blue, they came to know that their driver took French leave. After contemplating a while they came up with a solution that John and Markus would drive the car alternately. This way John could take rest while Markus is driving and vice versa.  It went on smoothly until John and Markus indulged themselves in a polemic t

A letter, written by a man to his friend:

Hi, dude!

Next time you're in my neck of the woods, just call me.
We had not gone for a pint...for donkey's years.
I hope you still like a good drop of beer.
By the way...do you still smoke? Last year, I quit smoking. I quit smoking cold turkey. You know? It was not that piece of cake but my doctor told me if I don't want to kick the bucket soon, I have to quit smoking. The first days after quitting smoking, I was a little under the weather, but meanwhile,

This time I write about love idioms.

It's a dialog between two lovers. Please don't take it too seriously. I know lovers will not have this kind of dialog in their real life.

He:  You always catch my eye.
She: What?

He:   I have a crush on you.
She: Are you sure?

He:  Yes, you take my breath away when I see you.
She: Don't butter me up, please!

He:  I don't butter you up. My feelings are sincere.
She: Isn't that crazy, is it?

He:  I cannot love and be wise.
She: How can you know it works with us?

He:

30.10.18 Got lost again.

I thought that, that since I got glasses a year and about 3 or 4 months ago. I'm now better at orientation too, but not that much. I can go little bit deeper into forest I guess, but I'm still bad at orientation. I definitely must avoid going deep to forest where's no tracks or paths, or other obvious landmarks.. in any cost. Today I again got lost in town.. unfamiliar suburban. Just wanted to walk through of that suburban area.. I guess my mistake was looking all those big houses instead of not

Sunflower Power (The First Bloom)

2347580415?profile=original

Sun… sun… sun… flower!  What’s with this plant that always brings smile to someone’s face whenever he or she sees it up close? Is it its bright color? Or is its petals? It seems exciting to grow one but I have contemplated because my garden is a bit shady. We all know it’s a ‘full sun’ kind of a plant, right?

Sunflowers also known as Helianthus, are heliotropics, they track the sunlight as much as they could therefore aid for their growth and maturity. From what I’ve experienced, if you place the

29.10.18 Winter.

First little snow and cold weather has arrived. By the noise it looked like most cars had got studded tires already, when I was walking in town. I don't like that noise. I say, it's even painful to ear. I already did not like that motorized pollution before, but every year, when winter arrives, I can confirm, yes they really can be more annoying.. And then those silly drivers.. no I mean those motorized junk operators, who think that they have good traction from winter tires and smart computer a

Nothing Succeeds like Success!

We are all human beings since we lead a life of goals, purposes and responsibility. Our determination for the achievements of the aims we set is often too high and high becomes the result. We fail many times in acquiring things we like the most, but fail to achieve and get what we have never thought of. Whether we take a head on approach or more about way, we usually achieve greats results in our lives because of the efforts, struggles and sacrifices.

Learning from failures is quit common, people

It takes nothing, but does much!

Often I get to ask myself a question that what does it take to wind up a destructive habit and initiate with a constructive one for true betterment or fulfillment. Someday a great man left saying, "There isn't any limit in the world except the brain" Things begin showing the symbols of impossible changes within them when one fails to see any possibility of change through, like many times we fail in acquiring tiny things because we imagine them as too big or difficult. Many people in the world to

Palawan is a slice of heaven, teeming with exotic wildlife, quaint fishing villages.

9. Seljalandsfoss, Iceland

This incredible waterfall, along Iceland's southern coast, is fed by melting water from the famed glacier-capped Eyjafjallajokull volcano. This powerful waterfall cascades into a pretty meadow but is best known for the walking path that runs behind the curtain of water where visitors can enjoy a truly unique viewpoint.

This blog is my participating in Mishaikh's challenge about using idioms. I chose writing about food-idioms.

I'm going to spill the beans about how much I had to use my noodle to create some sentences by using food idioms. It was not a piece of cake because my sentences should not appear too cheesy.
But then, I told myself "Hey, just try to be as cool as a cucumber. Writing is your cup of tea. What are you afraid of?".
In a nutshell, my writings are still amateurish, and they never will be sold li
