Once a lady member of EC gave the plot of this story to me.  She told me that this based on the actual events.  She asked me to write a story based on this plot.  She is not active anymore here.  I am posting this blog once again for the interest of the readers. (names in the story are fictitious).

FIRE OF DISHONESTY

He now feels left in the desert, standing there in the heat with the choked throat.  He wanted to cry…………cry loudly and tell her that he truly loves her, but the slap he felt on his f

So another year has gone. I became one more year older, but my heart still beats even having undergone an opened heart surgery for ASD (atrial septal defect - mending of a hole in the heart) years ago.  I still feel the pounding of blood in my veins. Even after so many years of struggles, prays, ponderings I still could not kill the devil within me. Still, sins and wrong deeds occurred. I still could not keep the ablution of my eyes intact. Though I turn my eyes away, but could not close the inn

1. What is it: Every day she goes for a walk but she always stays at home!

2. What doesn't have ears, speaks without a mouth, but answers in all languages?

3. What is this: the more you take from it, the bigger it gets and the more you give to it, the smaller it gets!

I don't know the name of this dish in English but we (my family) call it "M'yasna pidlyvka z shparagivkoyu"

The main ingredient is "Shparagivka" (one kind of beans, wich you can eat with it's shell). Google translator says that it is "Shparaghka".

Here is my recipe:

First of all clean the onion (as many as you can, even 10-15 will be good!).

Then slice the onion to small pieces.

Then throw it in the frying pan, add the oil (i don't know how much oil do you need, but onion requires a lot of oil!) and

More than few times people asked me, how to cook the buckwheat.

This is one of the ways to cook it as simple side dish (garnish). So, here we go:

Take one mug of buckwheat (here in my case i took two mugs of buckwheat).

Pour it from mug to the saucepan.

Then wash the buckwheat with water. After washing fill it with water in equivalent twice more than buckwheat. Then cover the saucepan, put it on the fire and wait untill it boils. You don't even need to stir it up while cooking. Don't worry, it will

Have you ever caught your death of cold? Ever been at death's door? Do you know anyone who's had a fate worse than death? I'm gonna be the death of you with all these questions, huh? Yup, you're right. Today is all about DEATH!

-How's that pesky boss of yours?

-Hopefully me: Oh, she died.

How dull. Instead of using "die" how about some alternatives? So, without any further ado, let's get started.

depart this life

archaic die.

kick the bucket

informal die.

buy the farm

informal die: also (bought it) infor

The fingers are the extremities of the hand.  They are the four or five jointed parts of the hand. Each finger has three phalanges. Although they are slender they can do, different tasks. Let us start with the small finger, pinky. It has no specific task but to help the other fingers while eating or grasping something. Then, the finger ring or ring finger. It is next to the small finger. In some cultures, a ring is worn on that finger for wedding or marriage. Next to it is the middle finger. Lik

Today, I just replaced my old profile picture in MyEC. I chose the profile that described my thought at that moment. “Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn” and this words attracted my attention much. An idea crossed my mind then, why there was not written “Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose”?  I thought it was matching enough with the original one.

The thoughts of ones will influence the words or actions that possibly to be taken or respond with the circumstance around their. I believe, f

Do you use facebook? I think 99% people all over the world use this social network. Facebook is a place where everybody meets and says something in the life. And it is a place for everyone to share something in their life. For instance, they can share their pictures. They can share the restaurant they come for dinner. They can also share about their son or daughter and something like that. In addition, it also makes a duty to connect everybody in the world nearly. I do not be negative the advant

She wakes up in the middle of a flower sea. She wonders where she is. She looks down and is surprised because she never saw this beautiful dress that she is wearing. It is made by white linen, with blood red roses woven into the fabric.

She sits among the flowers. The wind plays with her long, curly red hair, her cheeks are rosy, and her beautiful green eyes wide opened.
While she closes her eyes again, she inhales the scent of fresh air. Birds sing their tune and butterflies dance around the flow

This night, after staying up late as usually chatting in EC chat room, I finally hit the hay and almost immediately fell asleep, but I was not inundated with the usual night time visions, the phantasmagory that followed was way different, it was the most weird dream I ever had.

  I found myself in an idyllic scenery - temple like building, all of white stone, broad streets running through lavish gardens, people joyfully discussing or just relaxing on the carpets of grass which seemed to spread ar

I know for a fact this world is terrible, yet I'm still hopeful that someday justice will prevail and those who were oppressed will received what they deserve in life. Now, seems like I want to believe to what people are saying that the greatest danger to humanity is human race itself. Why am I saying this? Let me tell you all guys what I came across this week that I was dumbfounded to know.

One close friend of mine messaged me about a viral post she read on Facebook. I realized in my notificatio

High under the rainbow, I wanted to be.
Watching him from the crown of a tree.
I climbed up the tree near to the rainbow,
Above me the sky and beneath me a meadow.

To touch the sky once, I wanted to try,
though I should know that the sky is too high.
I stretched my arms as high as I could.
Haha, now I know, this idea had been not so good.

Feeling my slipping, I started to scream.
Hoping it would be just a very bad dream.
The branch beneath me suddenly broke.
At first, I was thinking, "what a

SILVER HEART

How strange the human psychology is! When we love, we yearn to possess whom we love, but when we find it beyond our power to get her/him for our own, then our imagination gets activated and creates a world of our own desires, where we do what we wish to do. When we wish to see our lover, she is there before our eyes, we make her laugh, and we make her cry. Our own longing makes her long for us as if she is not united with us, she will die. So as happens with me.  I am the dweller of

The night was so spooky within the dark
when she walked alone through a very big park.

She did not know how she came to this place.
Her memory seemed been lost without any trace.

Her frightened heart was so weak and so loud
while the moon above her tried to look through a cloud.

The moon disappeared behind the cloud then again,
Her heart seemed to be caught with a big iron chain.

Then, suddenly, her legs were starting to run
because she had heard the shot of a dangerous gun.

She ran and sh

I bet you know what I'm trying to convey. Yes, I mean you can try to express the same idea in English with a different way, instead of the way that you may think is the only natural or right way.

For example, you can use 'amazing', 'excellent', 'fantastic', 'terrific', 'well down' or 'good job', instead of 'good' or 'nice'. You can say 'an extremely hot day' instead of 'a sweltering day' if you can't remember the word 'sweltering', which is what you really want to use.

It can be so monotonous, dul

Religion
A: Does religion make people happy?
B: Yes, of course.
A: But some people fight against each other because of it.
B: Hum, I can no longer say it with confidence.
