This is for you, who had gotten me feel this feeling...
With my bad-English, I say..
Maybe, this is just a drop of my mushy story for curing my longing.  A drop of story which is just like a crying, when I'm not going to be with you again.

I don't know, why is it so fast? I don't know why should I be in this May. And I don't know why should this sad May in my life?

I had told this so many times that I am weak and lame. Even I can't erase my tears anymore. I'm too lame to save my heart to be so rigid

Day 3 : Go to Amsterdam

 

My cousin prepared our breakfast with salad that included some olives, cheese and mango sauce. It's quite different style from ours and seems I was a cow eating grass, but it's very tasty and healthy.

Strawberries and tomatoes were also prepared.

The Wonder of Skype

Skype is simply amazing. It's an excellent alternative to costly international calls through mobile and land line excluding urgent situations.

 

I learned that EC members use Skype to converse with one another. It's an innovative way not only to practice their English in conversation but also a way to make friends. I wrote a blog about how I utilize Skype.

This is my first time to go Europe from April 28 to May 11 this year. Everything in Europe is completely new, fresh and interesting for me. That's why I couldn't control myself taking about more than two thousand photos. At the same time, it was also a good chance for me to practice English. From the next blog, I will try to keep posting some of photos to share with you. 

 

The trip included three countries- Holland, Germany and Czech Republic. Before arriving in our destination, we had to fly for

In the morning, I stepped out into the garden. My little girl followed me. She picked a flower petal of bitter melon and set up her hair. She asked me: Mommy, What‘s smell of flowers’ s bitter melon? I kissed up her hair and breathed a deep breath. I smelled the bitter taste of a drug and sweet taste of cake. My little girl shouted: Yeah! I smelled it, it was like a smell of a cake.

I caressed her hair and smiled.

Was life a combination of sweetness and bitterness?...

SILENCE!

SILENCE!
K. Rahman
Silentio Silentio Silentio Silentio Silentio
Silentio Silentio              Silentio Silentio
Silentio Silentio Silentio Silentio Silentio
This is a Spanish poem. Keith Mitchell, our Grammar teacher in Edinburgh, wrote it on the blackboard to make a point in relation to language, grammar and communication.

He wouldn’t admit that the poor woman was his mother, because he was embarrassed to have a mother a poor woman clad in rags.

   My grandma told me the story. “In a village hundred years ago”, she began, “lived a very poor family with a son nam
