A clean summer day. The trees and leaves are twinkling in front of the eyes. Scared birds scatter in different directions. The young witch flies on a flying broom. Ammm... young clumsy* witch.

Suddenly her broom catch the branch of the tree... And clumsy witch is falling down right on the anthill. While falling from the tree, she demolish one branch with green leaves that stuck in her hair near the ear.

I have changed the title a little. I united two of the titles.

The clumsy witch (who cried golden tears)

Once upon a time, there lived a little girl.
She lived together with her her mom and her granny in a little house nearby a beautiful lake, outside the city.

The house, surrounded by a garden, was just a small house but very comfortable and cozy. In the garden grew thousands of different flowers and there lived butterflies and birds lived there, too.

The girl loved the birds, butterflies, and f

... and then one day they start slowly falling down,

sad tree losing its pride, losing its crown.

The sun is weaker, the wind is stronger,

all of these leaves can´t stay any longer...

... and then some day golden rain showers the street,

covered path, bench, even my favorite seat.

People dancing on the yellow carpet of leaves,

recalling nostalgic autumn memories...

... and then one day autumn magic will be gone,

lost between earlier sunset and later dawn.

Winter will hungrily eat every

How many days we are logging to see each other,

How many hours we want to share with each other.

It's must be countless

But our reality doesn't allow us

I am sorry about it

Really I am sorry...my little princess.

Writing challenge,

Danny Clark's     write a short story

The idea of this short story came from the dreams of Mr. Danny Clark. I had a terrible dream after writing that horror story, the abandoned house. I have some ability to predict the future according to certain incidents. It is not clairvoyance but depending on the current situations. I woke up suddenly after that nightmare and I decided to write real stories.

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 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.

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?

It's been a long time since I shared a blog, because I was busy in studies and other things. Today I thought to share my views on something through blogging. So let's get the ball rolling. 

“A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. Do you agree?”

I read this quote on the internet and thought to share my views on it. 

     I pretty much agree with the quote because the sole purpose of a business must not be earning money but also a good reputation. No doubt that money is the essen

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

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
