Apology

Hello my friends. I’m here now to inform you that there is no word’s challenge in A-New-Word-Daily's group for this month, January. We are going to stop this month and we'll start again in February. I apologize for this but my final exams will start soon and I should prepare myself. The subjects are getting hard and I should study well. I’m sure that I’ll be like this picture !

But I really wish if I can insert any book in my head so I won't need to memorize anymore.

How not to die before you get old?

 

Hello friends!!! It’s my first blog. There is a short story that I read in a magazine here.


Chiako is active and healthy. She gets up at 7.00 a.m. every day and goes for a brisk walk. Three times a week she plays gate-ball - national sports - with her friends. There is nothing unusual about this, except that Chiako is 102 years old. She is not alone - there are hundreds of centenarians who lead healthy lives this in Okinawa.

Okinawa is a group of Japanese islands between Japan and Taiwan. Near th

Why?????????

HI All

 

Nowadays, people have become more different than they were used to be.Additionally,because of modernization , technology and improvement, more ideas and  beliefs have emerged in our societies.

 

Some people have tried powerfully to retain their traditions and vice versa.As a result, many of our customs have been vanished and many degenerated people have been behaving erroneously.For instance, and may you have noticed , people have tried to imitate famous people ,'' Actors,singers and so on,

Happiness

What is happiness?

Is it just wishful thinking?

Does it happen just once in a blue moon?

 

Many people have already caught themselves trying to find an answer to those questions. My challenge today is to bring out my own impressions about the issue.

 

We are all acquainted with the misery the world is going through. Natural disaster, hunger, wars, urban violence, disease, unemployment, poverty, corruption, just to mention a few issues. It seems that happiness is something that exists only in fairy tal

Burning the dummies


2346099423?profile=originalIt is the Ecuadorian tradition to build a dummy that represents the year that is finishing, and burn it just before midnight on Dec. 31st. This dummy used to be made with old clothes and filled with paper or sawdust. Now, they are made with wood and cardboard too, and they may represent anyone or anything, from a cartoon character to a politician, or even an event that occured during the year. There are contests around the country with prizes for the best dummy, or the best representation of a s

You

2345964021?profile=original

You go and come
As an eternal game
Always the same
Still burning flame
I call your name
You are my dream

In my heart you shine
You turn my mind


As a wish you remain
Oh hope of mine
I won't calm down
You left me alone
With hurting pain
Inside me again


How to stay strong
Killed so long


Never be with you

In this time of year we usually make a list with some resolutions for next year.

 

A New Year's resolution is done to reform a habit or to make changes in lifestyle.
These promises are usually made on New Year's Day, the first day and aresupposed to be either fulfilled or abandoned by the end of that year.


There are some people who simply have not the intention to do anything new, because they believe are right and don’t need any change in their lifes.

It isn’t a secret – most of megalopolis’ inhabitants (and also townspeople and countryfolk) feel
themselves solitary, lonely.

  Even successful people, living in their great, enormous
houses or block of flats (apartment block), are leaving to their own resources  (devices). And if they find an interlocutor or
soul friend, their communication (personal contact) isn’t lasting long. People continue
to look for contact with others, but they don’t find its…

Along my street for many years
I hear footsteps – my friends are leaving.
My friends’ slow leave
Is delightful to the darkness outside.

My friends’ affairs are unsettled,
There is no music at their homes, no singing.
And, just like before, Degas' girls
Are fixing their bluish feathers.

Well, well, not let the fear wake
You, defenceless, in the middle of this night.
To the deception, mysterious passion,

2346099582?profile=original2010 has been an amazing year for MyEC! We have welcomed so many new friends and are close to 30, 000 members. Remember when we welcomed Punima? She was the 20 000th member. People from around the world flooded her wall with welcome messages the moment she joined. That was so fun! There have been other fun moments in 2010, including photo challenges, Wordless Wednesdays, games, contests, and business chats. We were very sad to see some members go, and very happy to see a few return! I'm so proud
