Long Hair, Short Hair? Help me decide! Hello everyone! Today was like other days, hot and humid in Indonesia! (Oooooohhh humidity!). Actually I'm pissed off living in such hot place. I get sweaty frequently and I really rely on AC and fan so much! I just can't imagine how I could bear the weather without them. (A bunch of thanks for the inventor of those things!) So back to the topic, due to this hot climate, I'm considering to cut my hair. Long hair leads to sultrier feeling doesn't it? I ever cut it short once. But I feel not easy to cut it off. First, it takes long time to grow hair. Second, I eat like horse lately and it's the reason why I'm getting chubbier cheek! (Yap that's horrible). You know, people with chubby cheeks should have long hair because it makes their faces thinner. So please help me fellas which decision I should take :) I enclose a photo so you can see better :) Thanks!

Ways to improve your listening skill and make your english more natural So I was told by one of my friends how to improve our listening skill (I don't know where she got the tips anyway). Many people learn english by listening to cd or tape recorder whilst reading the conversation on textbook. But sometime the conversation is too rigid and doesn't happen naturally like in everyday english so it sounds pretty weird, awkward, and funny if we speak that way to native speaker in daily life. There are three methods we can use as a learner whose native language isn't english to make our listening skill better and our english more natural. Here they are: 1. Watching movies yesss it's a must because movies give you a real and more natural conversation. But beware, the cast in movies might speak so fast that we almost hear them said blabalbalbhsgrh&%$?@#>*??!!. what? yes that does happen to me not to worry it's not only you. What I dod about it was putting subtitle first in my native language and watching the movie. And then after I knew the story and the meaning of every words the cast said I just watched the movie over again but replaced the subtitle with english. Sometime there are sentences or phrases I don't understand even if they are written in english like "There's something I wanna get off my chest" but because I already watched the movie with my native language and know what they exactly said in that scene I can guess it. (Or yeah if I was lazy to remember I'd just search it on google) 2. Listening to music I love listening music!!!!!! well lyrics are not grammatically correct most of the time but we can get vocabularies and meaning of the lylrics theirselves. And I frequently sing along :P 3. Meet people around and listening to them If you're living in a place where people speak english that's great, just go outside, meet many people and listen to them! But if you are not, don't worry, sometime there are foreigners visiting our countries and fortunately we can meet them right? So take that chance to listen more closely to them or even strike up a conversation. well those are tips from me (from my friend actually). hope they help! :)
