Do you blog? by Dita Mignonesia

I do since 2008. I started it with personal blog. Its about little bit of this and little bit of that,just to keep my head insane and practice my English. What about you? and whats your blog about? mignonesia, my personal blog

I don't blog, used to keep diaries though. I guess in a way blogging is like keeping an open diary, isn't it? Organizing one's own thoughts, reflecting on life in general and then share them with people, known or unknown. Read More

Hi! my name is Christian and I'm italian by chris76

Hello to all expats, my name is Christian and I'm coming from north of Italy, from the ugly city of Milano :) I live here in Berlin since October 2010. I would like to meet all of you :)

white lie !!! by Michelle Chan

I believe a little white lie is better than the truth sometimes. If it's for a good reason. :rolleyes:

fanling

That is certainly a very pragmatic way of dealing with it. Serve the purposes - telling lies when necessary, telling truth when necessary as well. But is that all there is to it? Read More
