► OMG! : Ben Flajnik? Jason Trawick? What's Really Going on With Kris Jenner's Love Life

Ouch, hopefully at the age of 58 years I would not be like her. I find it odd to see women in old age (above 50 years / half a century, you know ?) still rely on his physical condition to look for the men. Eehehheh ..., as if she has not found her true identity, yet .

After comparing Kris to my mother, now I know who is the more beautiful between them. The most beautiful woman is my mother. Kris, you're ugly. You're ugly because you're not just because you are worse than the physical beauty of my mother, but because the Non-Physical Beauty is not found in your self, even until you are as old as 58 years old today .

The Non-Physical Beauty that I'm referring to is accepting the fact that you are old, and you're supposed to be like as your age. You can't go back in time to become a toddler who acts older than her age, but you also do not have to act as if you're young just because you're afraid to appear as the oldest woman among your daughters.

Do you realize that sincerity to be getting older has the other charms in every woman, hm? You can't hide the oldness with excessive makeup, because it will not make your face more beautiful, but you'll look like a demon. Because your face looks like a demon, then the men will only be afraid of you, but not loving you with all their soul. It is a logical consequence if there is no soul in the shades of your physical aging.

That's why even though they had both become very old, but at his last moment -- with his eyes closed, and then from behind his eyelids dripping her last tears -- my late father said that a woman who was much loved by him in this world was just my mom. I was a witness to the eternal love in a pair of elderly, and I will always keep all the testimony in every step in my relationship with my fiance.

This is my dad's favorite song to my mother, and now my partner likes the same song to me. Every now and then, we dance without sex in silent night. I feel, actually, a true love does not need sex at all, nor does it require the words "I love you". He just said "I love you" to me when we finished making love. And his words usually means he wants sex orgasm twice.

► Scientists find 'lonely' floating planet without a star

Well, this headline is a bit melancholy, is not it? I love it! I also sometimes feel very lonely. You? But I do not have to be a female soldier to feel lonely, sometimes, you know? Though my fiance also is not far from me, but I realize one thing : loneliness is a strange feeling. I hate feeling lonely, but secretly I do not want my loneliness goes so far away from me.



And this doesn't mean my fiance is my loneliness source, not at all. I am worthy to be blamed. He loves me. I'm sorry. I love you, too.

And this does not mean feeling guilty is my loneliness source, not at all.

Ouch! Stop up here! Stop guessing uncertain terms, Cisca!

Back to the original topic: Scientists - find -'lonely'- floating - planet - without - a - star. That's it.

And a lonely planet is still a lonely planet even without a star. Hello, Scientists, do you also sometimes feel lonely?
