WEATHER FORECAST

Here is the forecast for next 24 hours. 

This is not good news for those who are planning ‘dating’.  The weather will be pretty stormy, so the indoor dating will be too crowded for those who have some secret planning for their partners.  Outside in daytime, the weather will be pretty hot, may affect the temperature of the caring parent for their daughters, so I have to warn all the boys to be careful with their girlfri

Breaking news!

Two robbers were arrested a while before. At this moment they are in the police station of the town where they are being interrogated. Earlier in the day, a bank was robbed by them. The amount that was grabbed under the gun threat was large. There were three other robbers who managed to get away with a car which some days ago had been reported to the police as stolen. They were prosecuted by the police but so far nothing has been announced and it is believed to have escaped. As has

Virtuality - The English Club main chatroom was attacked by the organized group called "The Devil's Chatters" during the peaceful - almost boring Sunday evening. The professional group was consisted of seven members and was easily recognized by their nicknames Devil No 1 - Devil No 7.

This is a true story that happened with my mom one year ago.

One day, it was October or November, at 8-9 pm o`clock I was coming back from the city to home in the village. And as always the way to home was going through the forest. It was dark there. And in each hand I carried a bag, so I could not use a flashlight. It was very quiet inside forest, because of absence of wind.

And suddenly, right in the middle of my way to home, I heard the steps of 2-3 creatures behind me... I started to walk fast

Oh precious,

 Ask people; from my hands,

 you drop and drift away!

Oh precious,

If you come, I might take some failure

I feel the secret of wanting

If only you know my longing to you!

The story of love will go away

They are just seasons of spring.

Moreover, there will be no drought or dryness.

I will round up all those failures.

Oh precious, can you feel that?

Hi bloggers and everyone who likes writing. :)

I’m sure all of you know what passive voice is. Passive voice can change the focus of interest by placing the object at the beginning of the sentence. Subjects are often omitted in the sentence as they are usually unimportant, unknown, or obvious.

Passive voice is commonly used in news report. Hence, for practicing the passive, I challenge you to write a news report. :)

Here is your task:

1.  Choose a topic of your interest, then make a title of your ne

How to beat stress? That's the question, right? Recently I posted here discussion on this topic and I was really very excited to see so many people participating and sharing own experiences. On the basis of it, I decided to write this blog, which will be focused on                                                                   Y   O   U   R

Dé.jà vu

I was waiting for her in the hotel lobby, where I had to have a short stay as a transit passenger.  I did not give her the time, but I e-mailed only the name of the hotel in which the airline was going to provide me the lodging. I had nothing to do specifically there in the hotel, so I came down to the lobby restaurant made myself comfortable in a sofa from where I could keep an eye on the entrance of the hotel.  The contents of the e-mail I sent to her were echoing in my mind:

Ish? What the :P is that? If you’re not familiar with this term yet, don’t worry. You’re not alone. Don’t be fooled by it either because you may know ‘-ish’ as a suffix (a group of letters found at end of a word and used to change or modify its meaning), but this word is actually a form of a very short reply.

Ish is an adverb used in informal conversational English which means ‘slightly’ and regarded as a reply to a question. And if you’re into English TV shows like I do, you’ve probably heard th

Following is my another blog became alive from my thoughts on the motivation of Eva's Writing Challenge)

I phoned her whether she would be able to come to see me.  I was wondering if I might be turned down, but instead my request was wonderfully accorded to.  I was surprised how could it happen, in spite I was hoping it to be happened that way.  She never responded to me like she did that day.  I was afraid she might not feel the pleading in my request.  I was thinking, trying to understand her i

I heard this story from one of my uncles who was a brave man instead of a  chicken like me!

The story is....

One late evening my uncle was getting back from his elder sister's house. His sister lived in a  village and he (my uncle) lived and did a job as a school teacher in a big city. But, during that time he was spending his winter vacation in their village farm house.

That day the weather was good, my uncle's farm house was situated 5 km far away from his sister's house. and, he decided to get b

In the middle of the night I woke up lying on the path in the dark forest. Suddenly I heard the steps coming - almost running to me. But I could not see him clear. Just two X-ray eyes on the background of the dark silhouette. Somebody was approaching me. My heart beat increased and fear took control of me. In a while it all stopped and I could finally see, who was in front of me.

Two legs were sticking out of the ground. And before I asked myself "What the -_-?", one eye on the each of

Between Night and Day.

When the sun goes down for sleeping,
says "Goodbye, Day" with colorful light.
The sky looks as if it is bleeding,
before it kisses the dark of the night.

When fast the shadows will be growing,
and darkness is wrapping the land,
then all of the stars starting glowing,
and walk with the moon hand in hand.

And the lights turn on in the buildings,
like the eyes of the cats in the dark.
Can you see the lights in the windows,
lovers walk hand in hand through the park?

The trees will be washi

This blog is dedicated to Luci because of her question about the McDoos. It's about a national Syrian food that I mentioned in my previous blog. 

McDoos is some national stuff of food we do in Syria. We do it one time per year in the season of eggplant flourishing (almost in September), and then we store and pickle it as a provision for the whole year :D

I will give you the real ingredients which we usually do for a year provision of Mcdoos. And this will be sufficient for consuming of an average

This is a true story and I have witnesses who will assure you that this really happened at the house. It happened with my younger sister. We were in our teen years and summer vacations were going. During those days our state was struggling with power crisis and almost every night power was cut for 8-12 hours, yes that is almost all night. 

As I said it happened with my sister, she was quite a tom boy and always tried to prove she never fears with anything. So we have a big 2 story house in villag

Wearing a witch’s costume and high-heeled knee-long boots these days has reminded me of my favorite comfortable clothing I prefer to all others. This style won most of young hearts long ago but now it is about to become one of the most popular among people of any age.

I mean sportswear style. Such clothing was already known when I was a kid but it was worn only by sportsmen at the stadiums or in the gyms. Little by little, it came out onto the streets and we started calling it street wear. Now, i

This is a real story that happened to me when I was teen. And it was something very horrible and terrifying that I am still carrying it on my memory and body. So, you can see here that it's a real horror and not just a game or a fictional story.. I hope it would not cause you any real problems in life, if you would have to pass by it in future...
