Checkered shirt. Who’s wearing these stuff nowadays?
Uh oh ! But now its a symbol of political power and part of ingenious campaign strategy. The shirt, thanks to Solo Mayor Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has been worn and seen so much in the media. He actually claimed that he has 12 identical shirts. That he wears in the interview, press conference, debate, and just everywhere. You can rarely see him in any... 
This is Odie, a fat hamster of mine. I dont know how old he is but, well, he sure is fat. He likes to sleep, with his chin stuck between the cage bars. I often saw him sleeping showing his belly, while chewing nothing (dreaming, perhaps), and you can really see he only has 4 teeth. :p He always notice my scent whenever im near his cage.

If I feel loved by my spouse, I can relax, knowing that my lover will do me no ill . I feel secure in his/her presence. I may face many uncertainties in my vocation. I may have enemies in other areas of my life,... 
H ow can we speak each other’s love language when we are full of hurt, anger, and resentment over past failures?
The answer to that question lies in the essential nature of our humanity. We are creatures of choice. That means that we have the capacity to make poor choices, which all of us have done. We have spoken critical words, and we have done hurtful things. We are not proud of those choices,...
