Private subject

I'm going to talk about a private subject. It's about my love life, or in this case non-existent love life. I'm a twenty-two-year-old girl who has never had a boyfriend. When I was in high school I used to be extremely insecure. I found myself ugly and fat and I was really shy. In a nutshell, I wasn't an attractive girl. Girls around me were prettier and funnier, while I was the weird and silent kid. Then I went to university and everything changed. I started to make new friends and to be more talkative. I lost weight and felt better in my own skin. Nowaydays, I finally totally accept and love myself, but I feel like I lost my chance to be normal. By normal I mean that it's late for a girl of my age to have her first love. I know it's stupid to think like that but that's how I feel. What's more, I have new friends now and they are all in a couple relationship, so I feel like I have to have a boyfriend at least to say that I had or have a love life. That's not the only reason, though. I do want to have a boyfriend, but I want to feel comfortable in the relationship and not jumping on every opportunity that comes. Indeed, there were three guys who wanted to go out with me, but I wasn't interested. Deep down I feel like I'm never going to be ready to have a boyfriend and that scares me a little.

I think you are taking the right approach. I think you need to develop a friendship with someone first, before considering whether to take it further. When you meet your "Mr Right", you WILL know. Until that time, the only advice I could give is to enjoy your friendships and not "force" anything. Guys can smell desperation a mile away and it is not desirable. If you don't feel an attraction for someone, there is no reason to consider them as a boyfriend, but you could consider them as a casual friend, if you wish. I think being upfront about your feelings is also important, so as not to hurt others feelings. Well, that's just my opinion, a lot of things are easier said than put into practice!

It means to make the flavour stronger. It is a little unusual to say "deepend the flavour, actually. We would normally state which flavour component is lacking "strength", for example "Not salty enough" or "Not sweet enough", or "too salty" / "too sweet". I hope this answered your question.

About myself.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mike. But my friends often
call me 'Iron Mike'. I have been living in the city of Olenegorsk. I
am from Russia. I have been living here for a very long time. My city is
not very beautiful. But I like my city anyway, because it is my native
city.

I spend a lot of time on the internet. I really like computers.
Sometimes, I go to bed very late because I have been writing some computer
programs. I like to do it. But I am not a professional programmer any more. I
think I will become professional and I will make a lot of money.

I also have a dog. Its name is Kessi. She is really good. She is five years old.
She likes to play, to e,at and to sleep. The breed of my dog is Stafford. Her fur is red in color. Kessi is very kind.

My flat has two rooms. I live in one, together with my dog (is this what you wanted to say?). My
flat is not big, but it is very cool. I have a big TV. But I don't watch it
often. But in fact my TV is on almost constantly. Also, I have two
computers and I am always working on them.
This is the end!
''One smile can start a friendship''.

English before any other language

I would like to start this entry, which I expect not to be too long, by stating that English is they key to success in other languages. However, I think I would be wrong because, honestly, I do not think there are any shortcuts when it comes to language learning. The point is that English is a powerful tool which can help you in many ways, ways you would not even imagine when starting to learn it. This language can be the key which will enable you to access a great deal of material written in it regarding the language you want to learn. My conclusion is, therefore, that we should all learn English before any other language, because this is going to help us find - and understand - the best books and resources (stuff is not frequently used in written English) to learn. This might seem obvious, but I wanted to share it.

Written on the eve of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival. It is a festival peculiar (peculiar festtival means it is a strange festival) to China if I don't remember incorrectly. On this day, people eat traditional Chinese rice-pudding（粽子）(or sticky rice pudding) and race dragon boats. As for us common people, it means a three-day holiday is coming.

Normally, most companies give out traditional Chinese rice-pudding to their staff. But our company didn't do so this year. I didn't care, after all it was just a little thing for me. What I care about is whether I can go back home on time. Fortunately, my boss didn't ask us to work overtime. He was kind enough this time. I arrived home on time without incident and on schedule. Looking at my family's smiling faces, I felt very happy.

Today is a good day :)

Today is a good day for me. I woke up at 9.00 and went to school. When I arrived home, I took dinner and watched some parts of my TV serial. My sister invited me to go to eat sushi with her. And of course, I couldn't say 'No'. My two sisters and I, along with their friend, went to a sushi bar called 'Friends'. It is located in an entertainment center called 'Taiga', which means 'A big forest, where you can get lost easily'. Really, it so big, and there are a lot of exits.

We ordered a big set, there were about 60 pieces of sushi. It was delicious! I love sushi. Sushi is a Japanese food. After eating sushi, we went to the park. Our park is one of the best parks in Kazakhstan.

P.S. Kazakhstan is a big country in Central Asia, near to Russia and China.

Do you like dumplings?

Chinese dumplings are one of the most important foods in the Spring Festival. They symbolize wealth because their shape is similar to ancient Chinese gold and silver ingots. The members of a family make dumplings together during New Year's Eve. They may hide a coin in one of the dumplings and the person who finds the coin while eating the dumplings will have good luck in the New Year. Chinese dumplings are also popular in the other festivals, so, it's part of the Chinese culture and tradition. Chinese dumplings are delicious. You can make dumplings with different kinds of fillings based on your taste.

 

Well done! 

What I will miss most  when I will live alone

Sometimes, my mother cooks a delicious dish called "pollo en su jugo". She cooks potatoes with chicken (commonly chicken legs). The guiso (what is this? sauce?) contains sugar, garlic and black pepper. She served it on a white plate with white rice and delicious papaya juice.

That dish is a tradition in our family, which my grandma called Talca. The strange thing is that my grandma doesnt like "pollo en su jugo", she only cooked it because her sons like it a lot. 

My mom cooks "pollo en su jugo" two or three times a year. I love it.

When I live alone I hope to meet a woman who knows how to cook "pollo en su jugo"

Hasta la vista baby!
