woohoo one more day and it'll be feb, the month of romance and love.. everyone knows that 14 feb is valentines right? on that day, probably you will be thinking if someone will pop out suddenly and give you roses or chocolates or confess his/her love for you. and maybe trying to find something to boost your bravery to spurt everything out to your "one" and later say "oops, what did i do?!". but feb is not entirely great, coz it will be our ca1!! arghh. hell hell. hate exams right? when it comes to studying, diff ppl are weak in diff subjects and i reckon that most of us are weak in english right (except for some eng pro like hazel, aaron, chester, etc)? and for eng, grammar is not really a problem but is the vocab!! uhhhh freakin irritating vocab.bet you have ever wonder how long wud it take to finish learning all those strange and funny words. a standard oxford dictionary actually contains full entries for 171,476 words in current use, and 47,156 obsolete words. (wow)
so now, i'm here to add a bit of vocab - pertaining to love and romance - to (your name here)'s english dictionary. :)
Hot Phrase:

Deep Roots:
In ancient greece, the pantheon included a god of love name EROS often depicted with a bow and arrows. the romans call this god Cupid or Amor. that's where we get eng words such as erotic (arousing passion) and amorous (feeling love).
Just some Words:
