Closure

Jalan toll dalam kota macet total jam sembilan malam, semua mobil merambat pelan.

Boyfriend Crisis Centre: Opening Soon

A friend called during work and made me listening to her grief: she feels ugly! She thinks she’s not attractive, hence, no guys are interested in her. This was supported by a proof that she’s been single for a couple of years. Of course I said she’s wrong; she’s pretty, smart, and independent. She has [...]
