One of benefits and purposes of writing in English is to improve English skills. Grammar, Usage, and style are exactly what will be developed as we keep practicing. But I believe that's not all. In writing, when it comes to beauty, we have to pay attention to phrases, vocabularies, and also: Metaphor & Sarcasm *Debaters Alert*.



So here, aside from being cynical as usual, I think I have to also perform some usefulness for studious human being. However, being too serious is never fun. They say, Work Hard Play Hard. So let's find hard work that requires us to play it hard. Not to mention, if I post it here, the possibility for me to one day use it will be bigger, because I know where to find it.
