My advice to MyEc members

Posted by Nebia on February 28, 2011

I know that most of you are here to learn English, the thing we have in common. And English Club is growing so fast thanks to many efforts made by all of us. You Will agree with me that we are making EC alive by our presence and activity.

For that I would start by thanking all those who are sharing their time to make it possible.

I will try to sum up some rules or let's say a piece of advice, I hope you can do with that in order to be a good MyEc member.

 1) Plagiarism:

Since you are an ec member and wants strongly to remain, it is a promise you will give to your fellows to never copy any work or writing from other sites and pretend it is yours.

You may find things intersting to share with all of us. We are all glad to be informed of news but dear member, just do refer to it as belonging to its author, poet, writer and if you do not know just mention unknown. But the best way is to rewrite it in your own words it would be a great challenge for you.

Here is the link to Tara's blog it will make it more clear.

 http://my.englishclub.com/profiles/blogs/plagiarism-pledge

2)Spams:

 

My English club is an international website where you can communicate and share views and ideas of different subjects: science, politics, religion, human believes, poetry, literature and so on.

You may come across with strangers who are here for another purpose and will ask you to give them information about you in real life, address, email, phone number and so on.

Never trust them they are here for a hidden purpose. Please read Nadira's blog you can understand much better. 

http://my.englishclub.com/profiles/blogs/spamming-1

3)Being disturbed:

English Club is an open site where you can learn and have friends. It has a chatroom where you can exchange talks and be in real life situation, also to keep in touch with your close friends. Sometimes people are talking in main about private subjects which anyone who comes reading will feel embarassed. Some are using their own mother tongue in public which is not allowed. This is an English site to improve English. Some use insults too, ignoring the persons who may be reading that while enjoying the chat with their family and kids.

I wish they go in private chat and speak freely to make it easier for others.

If someone disturbes you or makes indecent comment to you just report him/her by following this link.

4)Facing some problems:

If you face a technical problem in signing in or out. Some troubles on your page. Wanting to add music, photos or videos. You can find sollutions by clicking this link.

http://my.englishclub.com/forum

5)Missing a friend.

Some friends decide to leave EC or just have some rest, and I wish they can keep their pages saved and nothing will be deleted when they decide to go, as a memory of them being a golden member of MyEc, someday.

But it happens they leave and you are so sad and wants to show your friendship love and missing to them.

English Club provides you with a place where a word can be left espeacially for whom you miss.

The wallwisher

http://www.wallwisher.com/wall/myECmissesyou

6)Commenting blogs:

I have to start by myself who admit it is a neglect from me too.That I should leave comments more often on blogs and especially for those which are left with no comment.

Members do their best to write blogs and share them with us but they receive any note about that even no critic.

So I guess they may feel demotivated after that.

Let's promise to leave comments on blogs which are showing comment yet, to make people feel more welcomed in here.

 

I hope I helped a little the newbies to be at ease in MyEc and feel free to add any suggestion which you may find useful for the sake of our beloved EC.

Your loving Ec friend Nebia.

Hello everyone,

LOL

 

 

King of my soul

Heart of my heart

I offer you my heart

You offered me your world

and picked me among flowers

to be the queen of your heart

The master of your life

 

I was blessed with you

when you stormed my heart

I was brought to life

When my soul met yours

 

You made me feel a woman

when you touched my heart

You honored me then

When I became your wife

 

Life can never be the same

If you're not around

 

I love you.

Missing you

Posted by Nebia on February 6, 2011

In the darkness of the night
Nothing is bright
I hear a voice
Inside me calling


I missed you so
And a long time ago
Come close to me
stay beside me
for eternity


please send me free
and make me flee
From hurt and pain
Of the unknown

You
Whispered in my ear
Don't shed a tear
Now I am here
Forget your fear

I miss you too.

Listen

Posted by Nebia on January 25, 2011

Listen to my heart
Crying after your hurt
Wondering why you left
Why all that love was rushed
Thrown in vain and lost

If I was a must
A way or a fact
Or may be not even a part
from a living world
Where your feelings are set

I was looking in your heart
For a place where to belong
But I was shocked
So empty and cold
No space for my love
Not even tresured in your heart 

 

You've lost interest

But it isn't my fault

I did my best to keep it

I was dying to see your birth

Screaming with no voice

Just to let it go

 

Let it go!

 

Let it go!

You

Posted by Nebia on December 31, 2010

You go and come
As an eternal game
Always the same
Still burning flame
I call your name
You are my dream

In my heart you shine
You turn my mind


As a wish you remain
Oh hope of mine
I won't calm down
You left me alone
With hurting pain
Inside me again


How to stay strong
Killed so long


Never be with you

I promise

Posted by Nebia on December 14, 2010

As I concider myself being one of MyEc community, I used to take part in its different parts such as: bloging, reading , commenting, interacting with others through greetings and chatting too. Strong emotional relationships were set and true friendship was born.

I've never imagined that I will be emotionally and concreatly close to My Ec, the way I am now.

For me it was just automatic to open MyEc page to feel the worth amount of enjoyment in being with you all my friends.

I will start with Tara, who thank to her efforts, I could jump from reader to writer with her newly challenges.

I will never forget those who made me feel at ease by their kindly welcoming cards and comments.

I will always be grateful to all the kindness and generousity , my dear friend Bill the English Teacher, held to me.

Yes, myec provided me knowlegde and eternal feelings of love, care and joy with those who through time became equal to my family in real life.

My dearest Muge, karenina, Nadira, Nadiyah, Skoon, Nida, Lynne,Leaa, Rose, Duece, Zahra you were truthful friends.

My dear brothers: Dreamer and Manaf who were so protective and caring so that I have ever meant to call you brothers and not friends.

My best friends, my heart diamonds; Atika, Manuella, Monika and gentle Fa. I cannot imagine my life without your shining stars insite my heart. I will carry our friendship till the end. Whether far or near our friendship will stand.

I am getting tired.

My duties, my job and mind weight on me, and it is becoming hard.

I decided to take a break my friends.

Time for me to say goodbye.

I will leave my page as a memory.

Knock on its door when you miss me.

Smile each time you say my name.

It is not easy for me but it must go this way.

Impressive story

Posted by Nebia on December 2, 2010

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.She said, "Hi handsome. My name is Rose I'm eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and enthusiastically responded, "Of course you may!" and she gave me a giant squeeze."Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, andhave a couple of kids..." "No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age."I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me.After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk nonstop. I was always mesmerized listening to this "time machine" as she shared her wisdom and experience with me.Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she revelled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our footballbanquet. I'll never forget what she taught us. She was introduced and stepped up to the podium. As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her three by five cards on the floor.Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the microphone and simply said, "I'm sorry I'm so jittery. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me! I'll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know." As we laughed she cleared her throat and began, "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humour every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don't even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I ameighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets." She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose."She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral in tribute to thewonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.Unknown

Goodbye my friends

Posted by Nebia on November 27, 2010

For me signing in my ec was seeking knowledge at first. I am still in need for that and I won't stop learning anyway. I am always eager to learn more and more ,and everyday for me is a challenge I take in my learning process. But what I couldn't expect is that my ec wasn't a dead website without life. Inside it, I found a heart beating. Thanks to honest persons working hard in order to make it the best among the best.I couldn't expect I might visit the world simply by clicking sign in to my ec. I've not only learnt about English but also about others cultures, customs and habits that some members and friends could share with us most of the time.How beautiful to learn with emotions; in real contests. With feelings not only with words. I experienced that when I joined the English Club Community.How can I not being happy in less then one year here among you my friends? You have changed my world. I've always yelled that English Club was, is and will be a second family for me.Becides learning Engish with fun, I won good friends.My best friends whom I run to when happy and sad, when lonely, even more, when mad. My treasurehearts you are, I love you to the extent and wish you all the best.You may ask yourself why this blog and why this farewell title.In reality, I wanted to share my feelings with you and my sadness somehow.I suppose most of you in ec had lost an online friend with whom you had spend very nice moments and towards his or her departure you found yourself idle, useless and even hopeless.Let me please speak of the fairy lady of my ec, my sister and friend who has always enlighted my page with her frequently sent cards coloured by her love and care coming from the heart. The one who was omnipresent with the happiness she could spread everywhere. She was giving her time to satisfy all her friends and even new comers were welcomed by her. To those who did not know her: she was as fresh as the morning breeze. As generous and active as a honey bee. We were blessed by her love and frinedship. You may have guessed whom I am talking about. Of course my dear sweet Karenina.I miss you dear, whenever you are we are all praying for your happiness.This is the only memory I still have from her. as if fate wanted it to be that way, it is a metaphor about you sister: fly among the stars, Karenina and kiss the sky we will be longing your return to my ec.ALWAYS.

I might not leave without talking about my best friend, my teacher, the poet lover who used to believe in love as a blessing from heaven. For those who may not have crossed his road one day, he was a very sensitive person full of generousity, in need each time you call him for help. He was a father, a brother and for me my spiritual friend.He was taking us through his writings, to a perfect world were love was the king. He decided to leave ec so suddenly and telling him good bye was so hard, for me.Allow me my friends to share with you one of his poems I saved one day.Flicker• Posted by fa on July 10, 2010 at 8:30am" Here still tearingeach drop is wettingone memory of youand each blinkis one time openingmy doors to youcalling for charityonly one memoryto come trueHere still without youechoes never returnmy companion is longingmy shelter is Solitudeover mountains of painhere happiness is closedhere is the treasure of sadnessto be soldhere is to see soulcurtains "When Valentine's daydragsDear friend Fa, you were one of the mentors in here and your absence is deeply noticed. May you be in happiness always and God bless you and your loved ones.And I won't forget my hometown brother and friend who was one of my ec modirators. How many times he has been present and good towads others . I am sure he deserves a place among the stars. My dear friend and brother Salim we miss you and we hope you will be immortalized and blessed ever.May your name be shining on my ec wall.Dear Tara, if you are reading my blog at the moment you must be wondering where is the request, lol.I wanted to share my sadness to be more trusted.I think and I suppose lot of members may agree with me that there are eternal star members who deserve their place in my ec leaderboard as far as ec will exist. Those who are present those who left and those who may leave one day for any reason even death cause it is what will happen one day for all humans.OK OK OK! I stop my pessimism.I wish my dear friends to see in the leaderboard a part dedicated to those who were one day present and active in ec. Those who helped us be more effective in English but more than that, made us feel humans ....Let's beg Tara to make it true!

I found it intersting to share it with you. Happiness

Posted by Nebia on November 1, 2010

Happiness Is...Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.That is happiness: to be dissolved into something complete and great.The one who depends on himself will attain the greatest happiness.Happiness is a virtue, not its reward.The Grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.Happiness is: Looking in a mirror and liking what you see.Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind.

Happiness is not an ideal of reason, but of imagination.Happiness belongs to the self-sufficient.Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others.Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination.Happiness is a Swedish sunset - it is there for all, but most of us look the other way and lose it.Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on.

I received it by mail.This collection was commented by my friend truong hai au I am happy to add it to the previous one: Happiness is when you are being among the winter without the freeze coz someone is standing beside you.Happiness is not your smile but someone’s smile given to you.Happiness is when you devote yourself to do something you are interested in.Sometimes, happiness is just a sweet word said by someone.Sometimes, happiness is when you see your family happy. Your happiness exactly is the happiness of someone else.Happiness is not forever but it is the forever goal.>

What real friendship means....

Posted by Nebia on August 10, 2010

It is friendship.. .....When a person calls you by a stupid name, and never your own name.....When a person gets angry, whenever you say that you are busy and can't reply...When a person tells you everything about him or herself even if it is embarrassing. ..When a person comes to see you, whenever a chance is gotten....When both of you argue on stupid things, and then you end up laughing....When you keep quiet without a word and you are happy just because you are together....Friendship is not about "I'm sorry".Friendship is not about "I'm there for you".Friendship is not about "I understand ".Friendship is not about "I care for you".It's amazing when strangers become friends, but it is sad when friends become strangers.I never want to lose you my friend!I met you as a stranger.Now, I have you as a friend.I hope we can meet in our next walk of life where friendship never ends.That's my FriendThanks"If friendship is your Weakest point then you are the Strongest person in the world""Value has a value only if its value is valued..."I love you

The generous love.

Posted by Nebia on June 30, 2010
Sometimes we feel down, tired of thinking, hating everthing in life, feeling that we are asked much more than we can give and life is cruel and... and...But when you will read this story you will understand that in love we only give without waiting for something in return.....I hope you will like it as I do.It was sent from an unknown person to my e-mail box.Thank you for all these touching stories you are sending.Click on the link bellow to view the story, you just click each time to continue the reading.A_Touching_Story.ppsFor those who can not open the link here is the story.A touching story.My mom only had one eye. She was such an embarrassment. She used to cook for the students and teachers to support the family.There was this one day, during elementary school when my mom came to say hello to me. I was so embarrassed.How could she do this to me?I ignored her, threw a hateful look and ran out.The next day, at school one of my classmates said:”EEEE, your mom only has one eye!”I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom just to disappear.So I confronted her that day and said:”If you’re only gonna make me a laughing stock, why don’t you just die?!!!”My mom didn’t respond….I didn’t even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I was full of anger.I was oblivious to her feeling. I went out of that house and have nothing to do with her.So I studied hard, got a chance to go to Singapore to study. Then, I got married. I bought a house of my own. I had kids of my own.I was happy with my life, my kids and all comfort.Then, one day my mother came to visit me. She hasn’t seen me years along and she didn’t even meet her grand children.When she stood by the door my children laughed at her and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited.I screamed at her;”How dare you come to my house and scare my children!”GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!!And to this, my mother quietly answered.“Oh, I’m so sorry, I may have gotten the wrong address!” and she disappeared out of sight.One day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house in Singapore.So I told my wife that I was going on a business trip.After the reunion, I went to the old shock just out of curiosity. My neighbors said that she died. I didn’t shed a single tear.They handed me a letter that she wanted me to have.“My dearest son, I think of you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to Singapore and scared your children. I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you.I am sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when growing up.You see……………When you were very little you got into an accident, and lost your eye.As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you having to grow up with one eye.So I gave you mine……I was so proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.With my love to you,Your mother”

Writing Challenge#20: When the sun feels lonely!

Posted by Nebia on June 11, 2010
The universe with its beauty and mystery goes on in such a way that each participant has a role to play and rules to follow, to make life continue. But when one of the nature parts decides to break up the rules... see what would happen!One day, the sun rose as usual in the morning and looked at the earth.. people come and go like busy ants.The sun wandered if those people are happy living together in harmony, The sun was alone there.. very far.. no friend to be with .. no one to fill that empty space.. just feeling lonely in long and boring days.. sits waiting for the time to restart again every evening ..then starts the process.. over and over again..Like if going in an endless circle all its life ...but nothing else to break up the feeling of loneliness ..At the end of the day, the sun noticed some people joyfully, sitting by the sea shore, looking at the sunset and smiling to it..

OH! said to itself:" A warm smile in a cold day!"What a lovely and unusual moment to end up the day, as a gift offered to taste the flavor of having a friend."But they shouldn't have smiled to me!" thought suddenly ." I live so far and no one cares of me".The sun looked again, Oh yes, they are smiling at me !Without thinking, the sun decided to go to them....It started getting closer and closer again!Happy to come to them, the sun didn't realize that the laws of the universe are being broken up!

People started running everywhere, shouting and seeking for a safe place to stay away from the hot sun rays..Go away! Go away! they said.But the crazy sun was falling down.. down..and down again.. Happy to meet new friends!The trees started burning, the water was boiling and people were falling dawn on the ground....Suddenly the sun stopped .... Wandered what was happening to them!Looking at them with great sadness and hate.The sun decided to leave the role offered by nature, hurt by people's behaviour... while offering them friendship, they were running far away...Suddenly the sky turned to dark, the sun's anger was seen through the coulour of the sky.

"I have no place for me on earth!" disappointedly thought the sun. "Better to leave and never come back again."As soon as the sun left the earth with the promise to not come back again, the atmosphere changed and the weather was disastrous.

The further the sun went off the earth, the humanity started suffering...No sunshine..no light.. no warmth.. no happiness..Panic on earth!Hopeless thoughts for a better life appeared now that the sun left forever.All tries came in vain people were dawn, lost with fear.Then they decided to pray for the coming back of joy, tender and love that was brought by the sun in every morning day..They gathered the same day, at the same time in diffrent places in the world, lighted up canddles in their hands and prayed..prayed.. and prayed again..

Like they were one voice.. one breath..one melody coming from the heart..The sun standing very far.. hidden from them.. heared the pray as a music sound in the air and delightedly thought:Oh! I am not alone..People are saying my name..I won't feel lonely ..Now, I have a reason to shine..With the love of humanity..I will be happy to be alive again..

Please my friends, let the sun shine in your lives.....Thank you, dear Tara for giving me the right to break the laws.A special thank to my dear friend Pankaj,for the use of his mervellous pictures and my teacher and spiritual friend Fa.To all of you for having time to read my story.
