I just found an interesting infographic made by Copyblogger, one of my favorite blogs out there that teaches many useful tips to write good blog posts. This infographic talks about 15 most common grammar mistakes that if we do that, it will make us look silly.

I was trying to write a blog to fulfill my promise to Anele about writing on the best way to stay healthy when suddenly Jihan jumped on my back and her hands choked my neck : “Where is my Dora?” she yelled.
“How should I know?” I replied.
“Where is my Doraaaaaaaaaa?” she sceamed again.
“I don nooooo.” I shouted.
Then I smelt something bad. “You fart?”
“No,” she said.
“You poop?”
“Nooooooooooo,” she denied but her eyes couldn’t tell a lie.
I stood up to take her to the washroom, but she ran away like

It’s terrible. Yesterday, my wife gave me some “love letters” which came from “an imp” to sent for my daughter. Reading some his feeling’s sentences then I could not stop angry. “I miss you, You are so cute. You look very beautiful in that dress….” Oh my God. I could not believe my eyes, I used some hard words for shouting with my daughter. She cried and replied me (I can’t stand her tears) : “Dad, He and I are just a friend, Anyway, I’m 12 years old. I can make some friends, Dad”

The last couple of weeks for me have been extremely busy, but, funnily enough, it's been pleasurable, leisure activity that has taken all my time. I don't remember reading anything about keeping a healthy Leisure - Leisure balance.

So I got up, walked slowly to my desk, turned computer on, ran firefox, and bam! I saw something strange there. What was that?

My dream came true, lol.

Diseases are all over around and inside our body. Bacteria, viruses, pollen grains, fungal spores, wind, toxic materials, metabolic wastes are only a few of the examples. We cannot escape from their attacks unless we have something to protect us. Fortunately God has provided us with a system that guard against such hazardous objects.
