► 7 January 2014 : A dream carries a powerful message -- but can you remember it all? Even if you don't recall a thing, you should find that you are still being influenced in a deep way. Keep on moving! It won't be tough at all to talk yourself into spending a few extra dollars on a dear one right now. In fact, if you're out shopping for them, better bring someone along who doesn't love them quite so much. Just this once, you might get completely out of control when it comes to the plastic.
► 8 January 2014: Get started on something new and cool -- it could be anything that revs your gears! Your amazing personal energy guarantees that you bring this new project to a thrilling conclusion. After days of moping around, you'll wake up this morning feeling like your old self again: charming, impulsive and ready to try anything at least once. So what might be the perfect way to celebrate? How about reconnecting with the gang? After a bit of good-natured kidding about where you've been and a whole lot of winks, nods and sidelong glances, they'll be delighted to have you back in the fold. And you can get back to your unofficial position as head of the entertainment committee.
► 9 January 2014 : Your family members have a big surprise in store for you -- a very big surprise. Does that mean you should worry about what's coming or head for the hills? Certainly not. Really, your only option is to hold on tight and ride the ride -- which may actually be rather fun. Oh, and when this all goes down, pretend to be surprised. Stay active as much as you can -- otherwise, you may not be sure that you're still alive! Your energy should lift your mood, but if you've got to spin your wheels much longer, it just can't last.

For those who travel for the pleasure of the journey, those who believe that getting there is as much fun as being there, Russia's Trans-Siberian Railway has long been an almost mythic experience. It is the longest continuous rail line on earth, each run clattering along in an epic journey of almost six thousand miles (or about ten thousand kilometers) over one third of the globe. For most of its history, the Trans-Siberian journey has been an experience of almost continuous movement, seven days or more of unabated train travel through the vast expanse of Russia. A great part of the pleasure of such a trip is simply sitting back and watching the land go by. However, most travelers on the Trans-Siberian find that interaction with other passengers, both Russians and tourists, is what makes the trip an unforgettable experience. Today, with far fewer travel restrictions, it is possible to use the rail journey as the core of a more varied tour. Travelers can enjoy stopovers in many of the Russian cities and towns along the route, from the historic Volga port of Yaroslavl to Irkutsk and the scenic Lake Baikal region.

► ANALYSISYou read it? It turns out that when we are physically classified as a human being, it is not enough to state that we are better than other creatures of God's creation. Humans are equipped with reason, intellect and initiative, and other things that make them more perfect than animals because humans can think and make decisions. But unfortunately, they do not use this facility and their privileges properly.
Their knowledge about health does not make them healthy, but they are even deliberately damaging their health by smoking. They and I are both human, but human bad habits makes me feel unhappy living my life with them.
The funny thing is, when a smoker is diagnosed with cancer and had been sentenced to death by the disease itself, she/he starts using their lips, hemming and hawing when praying, "Oh God, please give me a long life..."
Ahahha ... ... because I am not God, of course I just laugh at such a prayer. "You consciously have damaged your health with smoking the cigarettes until to you suffer from cancer -- every time they remind you to stop smoking, you always ignore their advice -- and now you're asking for a miracle to cure your illness? Ahahaha ... I will gladly laugh at you until you die, as you laugh at me every time I ask you to stop smoking. Even though you know I'm laughing at you with feelings of bitterness, given the same opportunities will happen to me because of the impact of your bad habits make me become passive smokers: exposure to cigarette smoke. And ye -- with so fucking -- have indirectly damaged my health, my most expensive asset in living my life. Damn you! I want you to die many times, you know?
So, while you pray for your health, I will pray for your death. It's fair enough, right?

► VIDEOSOh yeah? Actually I want to curse you all, fucking arab men! But then I change my mind, with the confidence that I now understand why the Quran was revealed in Arabic. I's because since the ancient times, your nation is a depraved nation. And up to the current century, you are still the same: the people of Jahiliyyah. And I'm also developing a mind about the possibility of penis enlargement in almost all Arab men will always be followed by a diminution of their brains, so if they are not alert to the symptoms, then they will experience life recycling into the most primitive protozoan. Nyahnyahnyah.
Now the biggest challenge for you is: controlling the uncontrollable movement of your stupid penises throughout the Arab lands, because the movement always occurs without minimal work coordination of your brain. And a fatal error of your brain is you always think that all women are always ready to be the victims of your stupid penises movement.
So, answer me: Arab men, why are you so stupid?
Sshh, it should be emphasized that all of that does not include the Arabian gay, Cisca! Ouch ... gee whiz ...
