As I was the winner (or victim...lol) of Luci's last challenge I'm coming up w

I’m the first to preach that immersing yourself in the local culture is the best way to take advantage of your time teaching English in China. However, during your time abroad, hanging out with Westerners can sometimes be as valuable as spending time with Chinese people.

Befriending fellow foreigners can help stave off homesickness. Being around expatriates (or “expats”) offers you an opportunity to relax, because constantly interacting with foreign people in a foreign language can become exhaust

Is Money the basis of pleasant life?

Money here is meant wealth, material wealth like property, jewelry, currency notes and so on. To elaborate our discussions it is necessary to assess what is a pleasant life. Some may say that possessing of all the material comforts of luxurious living, having a good house and modern households, cars for traveling, good food for eating, high education for children and every such sort of facilities is the basis of pleasant life. If pleasant life actually means a

I wanted to write a story on the topic Blood Red Rose from the list in Eva's Writing Challenge.  But I could not bypass this story of Oscar Wilde which I explained while I was helping a student long time back. So I am copying this story in the response of Eva's Writing Challenge.  (Please be noted that I have not written it. But it is one of my favorite stores based on love).

The Nightingale and the Rose

By (Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde (October 16, 1854 – November 30, 1900) was a famous I

Raj was a little boy. No one did not know his age properly. He was living with a rich family in the city of Colombo. That rich family had 2 kids, girl Emy was10 years and boy Dean was 7. Dean and Raj seem to be the same age.

When Emy and Dean were at school, Raj must help servant Mary and watcher Raman with chores and housekeeping. Raj was brought by Raman to the house from a village. Raj could remember, One day his mother and stepfather gave him to Raman. Raman gave a good amount of money to the

The abandoned house (part two)

Rick slowly took the stairs one by one. At the ninth or the tenth step he stopped. The door was shut by itself. Rick's heart began to pound quickly and he looked down at the others. Eva told him to retreat and come back. He was sweating from fear, but he refused and continued cautiously. When he reached the door he started to open it and hesitated to hold the knob of the door.

Finally, he grabbed it quickly and tried to open it. It was i

There is an issue for many peoples about money and time management. I just finished the construction of my new house and at the end i learned how to manage the time and money by dealing the peoples from different fields. During the house construction you have to deal with many peoples simultaneously such as builders, painters, plumbers, labors, etc. Firstly, you have to manage time in a way that you can have look to all of them during the day. Secondly, You have to communicate with everyone in a

OneeYes, Onee is now a blog moderator. Congratulations!

It makes sense we have an additional blog moderator -  there are so many blogs posted here on MyEC every day, and sometimes I have difficulty adding comments or moderating blogs.

Onee has been an active member here - she enjoys reading and commenting on blogs, and she has also published a lot of interesting blogs. I really appreciate it!

So, I'm sure Onee will make a great moderator. Do you think so?

Here in my country we love to celebrate birthdays. There are of course many reasons behind it but the most important is that we find very polite to wish our family members, friends, colleagues or boss. Either we do it personally, on the phone or via a text message. Do believe me some people might get even offended, if you forget their birthday.

The family celebrations with the closest relatives usually take part at home of the celebrated person (sometimes at the restaurant) on the weekend – usual

Evangelina's writing challenge

The abandoned house

The students wanted to spend the weekend in a different way this time. Maria suggested the beach, but her boyfriend objected to that. They went to the beach last weekend. Gene suggested climbing the mountains, but Sara disapproved. Gene knew that Sara is having her period and she could not climb or even look at the top of the mountain, leave alone getting to the top of it. Suddenly, Eva shouted, "Hey guys! Look here, how about going to the country

It was a very dark night when I woke up through a  noise like a loud bang.
I was annoyed because I had dreamed sweetly.
My hand went to the side of the bed where my husband should be but he was not there. I wondered where he was because we were far from the city in a small wooden house in the forest.

Outside I heard the voice of someone. I did not try to turn on the light. I got up to see where my husband was but I couldn't find him in the whole house. I took a look through a small gap in the curt

This is another blog I have tried on the topic 'Abandoned House', (provided in Eva's Writing Challenge), which I have used as a metaphoric symbol.  Maybe it is found by the readers as somewhat philosophical.

When we are in suffering and difficulties, a stage comes when we considered ourselves as an “abandoned house” haunted by the miseries. An abandoned house is a place where no one wants to come or pay a visit.  But when a passerby sees a single thin line of a light, there arises a hope for the

Hola EC people!

*poke to A738a*

I guess most of you already noticed a new category in MyEC's Discussion Forum titled: "Introduce Yourself *smiley*"

It was opened on August or so and there you can read this description:

"For new members, feel free to introduce yourself here so other members can get to know you"

Some of you already know how much I love to follow rules so, when I read "For new members" I thought to myself: "What the...? These three words can't stop me!!" XD

I've thought that it could be

Religion for a religious sprit is not in the Holy Scriptures but in the holiness in existence. It’s not in the prayer thought by the priest of all kind of religious. It is in the gratitude that one feels before a sunset, before a sunrise. It is in gratitude that one feels to be a part of this beautiful and tremendously existence.

This is my another attempt in response to Eva's Writing Challenge.  

The Unfaithful Husband.

He was gone.  I sent him away from me. It has been two years since I saw him last.  I never forgot the tears in his eyes when they were taking him away.  His eyes were pleading for forgiveness.  But I wanted him to go away, that was my decision. Now he is coming back after two years and I am waiting for him.

He was not unfaithful.  I always found him a very loving and caring person.  He always cared for me,

Looking up in the sky is my everyday ritual. I enjoy watching the various kinds of clouds moving slowly, swinging and blowing exactly, where the wind wants them to be.

Some clouds are cute and fascinating whereas others can be pretty moody! Sometimes they are hiding as the sun is shining the whole day and sky is just tediously blue...sometimes they are angrily sending the storm down to the Earth and sometimes they are just sad as they turn the sky to the depressive grey colour and shower us with
