- "Retox": repensar as resoluções de ano-novo.
Ex.: "I was going to study more, but I decided to retox and travel this year".

REFLEXO DOS VÍDEO-GAMES

Ex.: "I pwn-ed him last night in poker".

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of hardship when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in large starting capital.
Nowadays, I feel good, I started take up real income.
It gets down to choose a correct companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, and shares the profit with me.
