a blazing row

I had an argument with my best friend yesterday. I treat her as my family members because she really means a lot to me. Actually I regret to argue with her every time after argument.I wonder why we always yell at each other just for something we disagree with each other? We deeply understand each other, and we both know our different personalities lead us tackling problems in different ways. Why we easily have a heated discussion?she is a better person than me, I think it's my problem in most of

Write on Children's Day

Today's a special day, but not special for me, special for children. It's Children's Day. Though I am not a kid any more, I'd like to share my delightful feeling with those lovely children. This morning when I turned on the radio, the voice reminded me of Children's Day. And I recalled the memory when I was still a little girl. At that time, I was a carefree and fatty girl. My relatives named me "Apple". It's really one of nice memories in my life. Though my family's not rich, I led a very happy

Hi, everyone. This is the first time I've joined an English club. It's nice to meet other people and make friends here. Actually, I'm not very good at such kind of thing.Anyway, many may have a very good command of English. So I hope we can help each other with our studies, OK?Oh, so exciting. I can't wait! Now I'll have a look at some groups and maybe I can find an interesting one for myself. ^^Have a nice day everyone!!!

This essay is written by Gary Musa, one of my students in IV-Rizal Batch 2010." Medicine makes people ill, mathematics makes them sad and theology makes them sinful." - Martin LutherThe striking quotation above has nothing to do with my little business tonight. Oh, I really miss my blue ballpen which I love to use for it resembles a fountain pen and I feel I am Voltaire whenever I wield it like a sword everytime I write. So I end up using this black -inked titanium plastic cased 6.3- inch 30 -gr

A Psalm of Life

Tell me not in mournful numbers,Life is but an empty dream!For the soul is dead that slumbers,And things are not what they seem.Life is real, life is earnest!And the grave is not its goal:Dust thou art, to dust returnest,Was not spoken of the soul.Not enjoyment and not sorrow,Is our destined end or way:But to act, that each tomorrowFind us farther than today.Art is long, and time is fleeting,And our hearts, though stout and brave,Still, like muffled drums, are beating,Funeral marches to the grav

Finally.. frustrations of teachers will finally come to a permanent stop. And surely I'll crave to replay this scene of my mortal existence.Time to say bye. To m

After A WhileAfter a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul,And you learn that love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security,And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises,And you begin to accept your defeats with your head up and your eyes open, with the grace of an adult, not the grief of a child,And you learn to build all your roads on today because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans.After a wh
