Self discovery
I have always been a naughty
girl. I started reading romance
novels early. I would always
feel something down there
whenever I read them, and I
would always keep my legs
together, while imagining
someone massaging my
breasts. I stumbled upon
this video of a guy licking
a womans breasts. I felt my
panties dampen. I easily get
wet even when Im not aroused,
but this time it was flowing out

across my body, I kept rubbing,
my juices kept on flowing. I
moaned as I rubbed harder and
faster until I felt, what seemed
like an explosion inside of me.

RIDING THE SYSTEM
Uber is a ride-sharing smartphone application that originated in San Francisco,
California in 2009, founded by Travis Karanick and Garett Camp, to ease the
everyday commuters dilemma: hailing a cab. It was initally called UberBlacks
because it serviced its customers with black luxury cars in the SanFo area,
providing Uber riders with the experience of a chauffer ride.
It breached traditional government regulation by employing drivers who qualified
to operate an Uber unit according to the companys terms and conditions without
having to go through the rigorous process of applying a government franchise. In
less than four years, Uber has expanded its operations across the globe, starting in
Paris, to Asian cities including Metro Manila, and is now worth over $50 billion.
According to the terms and agreement of Uber operations, 20 percent of
your weekly earnings will automatically be remitted to Ubers online bank account.
Thats their share in the business, explains Velarde. Then 60 percent of what is
left in your Uber Wallet goes to the operator, and the rest go to the driver. He says
that there are days when his Uber driver meets the quota in the first four hours on
the road. As for the surgeor the conditional increase in Uber fares depending on
