last night dinner

Hi everyone

I planned with my friend Qasim to cook something last night instead of normal things we used to ate as a dinner for the last few weeks. Our meal was a macaroni with beef mince. I was a guest in my friends apartment, however, I cooked the dinner for them.

At the end, my friends liked it and said it was very delicious. Now, my mam can be proud of me hahaha.

What a nice week to spend with that couple ( ^ _ ^ )

I wanna send my greetings and thanks to Marcus and Hilary for their work hard. It was a pleasure for me to work with them last week for four days through the additional week for the TVTC students. Actually, if I keep talking about them that won't be enough.

Through the past four days I learned some new vocabulary, phrases and phrasal verbs. Also, I hope that I gave a good presentation for my audience and I promise it is gonna be much better next time.

 

Marcus and Hilary, merry Christmas for you and have a nice holiday.

“He just blew me off.”

A coworker just told you that he was too busy to talk to you. You're annoyed, so you complain to a work friend:
He just blew me off.

(someone) just (did something)

Use "just" to express something that was done lightly and without thinking about it very much. In the example above, the coworker ignored the speaker. He didn't think about it or plan it, but just did it. The speaker could also say:
He just kept on working and didn't even look at me.

(someone) blew (someone) off

To "blow someone off" means to ignore them, not listen to what they're saying, and to do things to quickly get rid of them.
Imagine that there's a piece of hair on your finger. To get rid of it, you blow it off. "Blowing off" a person means to treat them kind of like that piece of hair.
"Blowing (someone) off" has a negative association. It's a pretty rude way to treat someone.
You can also blow off an event, like a party. To "blow off" an event means to just not go to it, in the same light and casual way:
I didn't feel like going, so I just blew it off.
