Yangki Christine Akiteng  
I wear the same old pair of jeans three to four times a week. Yeah, so what?

Sara O'Rourke
Being female is a challenge.
People may well say that complaining and moaning is all in a woman's genetic make-up, and therefore that everything I am about to say is all a result of some hormonal imbalance going on amidst the nervous activity in my brain, but take it for what it is, I urge you...

Yangki Christine Akiteng
Meow! Catfights are part of the feline charm -- or so they say. Keeping up with the slinky charm, I can be catty when the mood is right. But I'd rather go at it with the guys than with the girls. Why the preference? Guys go for the kill. Girls on the other hand, scratch, slap, pull hair and run... ( added 34 days 11 hours ago.) |

Chiradeep - The Candles
The only thing that speaks to us when we are all alone is our Conscience. Conscience is a gift from God.
