    A legend has at least a bit of truth to it, a myth is completely fictional.

    "It" is a pronoun referring to a proper noun. "I picked the ball up" or "I picked it up."

    What Made Me Feel Happy

    Last Saturday, my best friend and I went to Holland Village in Ho Chi Minh City and we got a surprise. That night was really terrible: too crowded, noisy and boring. Finally, we decided to go home.

     

    When we went to the park, my friend saw something and she told me with hesitatantly:
    - That woman just fainted, I don't know...

     


    And I ran to place where the woman fainted, suddenly my friend stopped but in this time I didn't really mind I didn't care. When we were beside the woman I helped her stand up and asked her if she needed any help. She told us she'd just had an accident and the driver had run away. then she She then pointed to her head injuries and hand wounds injuries on her head and hands. It was really serious. Then she asked my friend and I if we could buy some analgesics but we convinced her to hospital but she didn't agree tried to convince her to go to the hospital but she wouldn't. She told said she went to hospital but she didn't have money to pay treatment. Finally, my friend and I decided to find a drug store and supermarket to buy medicines and foods for her. It didn't wasn't  really easy because we didn't don't live in this area so we didn't know where we could by buy them. Luckily, we asked drivers who worked near there who knew and we bought foods and medicines for her. When we came back to the park, we no longer saw her, and one man helped us find her and he found her. In At this time, I really doubted if this woman and this man is deceptive group were a team and trying to trick us ....

     

    This is a great thing you did but a very long entry. Hopefully someone else will correct the rest for you. If not, I may come back and attempt the rest. You may want to break your entries up into different notebook entries for brevity. 

     

    I'm very happy that you did a great thing. It is what we do for others that matters in this world.

    I like and use both. For books I am reading just for fun I like to have the electronic reader. But for books used for reference and learning I like to have a book made of paper so I can make notes (plus it's quicker and easier to flip through when you need to find something). Now, if I read a novel on an e-reader and love it I will buy the paper copy to have. I must have truly and well loved books in paper. But I also think it is better for the environment to use less natural resources. I could be wrong because I know most people don't recycle old electronic items properly, they just toss them. Anyway, yes, I use both but paper books are far more romantic and sensual and special.

    Om Namah Sivaya!

    I was born and raised in the US and cook Indian food almost everyday! Mainly I cook dishes from Kerala (that is where my beloved Guru, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi is from), Tamil Nadu, and a few dishes from Goa (I love these because of the tamarind and coconut!). One of my best friends is from Orrissa so I learn a lot of Oriya dishes from her. My favorite to cook (and eat) is moong dal with spinach. In addition to Ayurvedic recommendations of a simple diet, it is also recommended for spiritual aspirants! What is your favorite vegetarian dish, Anita? As a special treat I like vegetable korma. I especially love the Kerala holiday of Onam when we have the Onam feast and eat off banana leaves and have twenty or thirty dishes!! Jai Ma! ONAM! WOOT! :D

    "Clear the air" means to get everything out in the open - to tell each other everything, absolutely everything, that is relevant to the situation at hand and then resolve it.
