First Love at First Sight

Posted by Ohnie on November 26, 2010

Last Friday afternoon (November 5th) was very special to me. I got to pick Sam up from school and got to hang out with him at the mall afterwards. Since I'm a working mom, the privilege of taking Sam to school and picking him up is rare while my in-laws normally do this job for me.

So when I picked Sam up, I asked him where he would like to go. I gave him several options. After thinking for a while, he said, "Mommy, I wanna go to the mall!" So then we went to the mall and there we ate and ran a

Many people think they should be grateful for their possessions and wealth, their homes and jobs.But America is also a spiritual and religious

Thanksgiving

Posted by Lois Scott-Conley on November 24, 2010
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I like this holiday in the US. One of the reasons is that it is celebrated by most people the same: get together with family and/or friends, eat turkey or and/or other autumn harvest foods (e.g. squash, potatoes, cranberries, brussel sprouts) and luscious desserts. In this way, it's "safe" to wish everyone "Thanksgiving!" when out and about. At the store, at work, at my kids' school I can exchange this wish with everyone equally. At Christmastime, it's tough. Because it

Interlude and Change

Posted by Fe on November 23, 2010
Interlude - the dictionary defined it as "anything that fills time between two events, as music between acts of a play"; and I add my own as "film trailers for coming-soon movies in a theater.Or, that unexpected event suddenly interrupted the normalcy of our daily living. This happens when for example you leave on an job assignment or career change. Or, maybe, a death in the family. This is tragic event that really interrupts one's home life.

Writing Challenge #25: Seven Secrets to Learn English

Posted by Nafis on November 22, 2010
Learning English has been one of the most difficult tasks I have ever done in my life. What makes it so challenging is you have to be persistent, self-motivated and self-disciplined.
