The JR Fourth Anniversary

It’s been four years. I started this blog on the 19th of September 2010. I know I was not as active as I was last year on the blog but I am glad to see that I was able to be super regular on the Facebook page. One post a day except very few days. This […]

They Don't Love You Magazine

Spreadsheets App

While its name may let you think it has something to do with Excel, Spreadsheets is a mobile app to measure your sex performance.
