Caco


I love my dog!
He is not only a dog!
He is everything to me!!
His name is Caco!

Written by Zulma

Me...your real friend



I am life You are Life We are Life
Some people can say life sucks
while others can say life is beautiful
or still life is full of surprises
Yes...it is...we know
Life is not easy
and it will never be.
but can remember you have some friends
and one of them is ME

Gossip: When To Hold Your Tongue

Why do people gossip?

Obviously everyone has a different reason for gossiping. I have found that people gossip for one of the following reasons:To fill in the void in conversation - Lack of general knowledge - To belong to a group  - Inferiority Complex - Taking revenge on people who constantly put you down - Unmasking and showing the real side of people -  Show the real side of people who get undeserved praise -  To get attention – gossip sells!

Memoirs vs. Autobiographies

the memoir is usually a more personal piece of writing than a biography or autobiography, which tends to give a "whole picture" of the person or family about whom the book is written. On the other hand, a memoir tends to have more of a very important theme than most autobiographies; thus, it gives a "partial picture." For example, an autobiography about me would probably highlight my life from birth to the present, paying special attention to major moments in my development. However, a memoir might only focus on those stories about me that led to my life.Thus, my memoir would be more of a story than a biography.
