6-word story with Ernest Hemingway

I listened to the BBC radio the other day, the reporters mentioned  6-word story by Ernest Hemingway, of which he said the most powerful story he had ever written. Many of you might have heard of it: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.”For my curiosity, I see the Guardian challenges leading writers to compose their own version of 6-word story and here they are: "Samaritans."

Would you have shocked to know that your mother had survived the Holocaust during the World WarII?..or Had you been the mother, would you have hidden the experiences from your son?

It is my kind of Sunday. Wake up late. Take my pace leisurely....and visit an Art center. It would be too difficult to do many activities in Bangkok in a day. To confess, I have not been able to manage myself to see art scenes in Bangkok, except one at the Emporium and the other at the Central Chidlom.

Is it true for you? ....

On a good day, you have received an impressive cross-posted e-mail and you really want to share with your friends. These graphics are striking for me as they show how well the designer observes, analayses  and re-present through her eyes.  Some of you may have already seen it, but it is nice to take another look. These are icons designed by Liu Yang, a Chinese born but educated in her teen through ad....
