So this Concludes THE HOBBYSHOP HERO x KIKS TYO Mega post haha. You know, its funny thinking back.....I remember one day, My EX was using my Laptop and the ScreenSaver came on (it was one that compiled all of the pictures on your computer to make another picture)
And she looks over at me and in A typical digusted voice starts asking who the half naked little girl is on the screen. Hahahahaha ahhhh how I love The KiksTyo "Sneakers & Girls" Collection.... I dont enjoy it because it is beautiful Asian girls half Naked, Well part of me does hahaha, but I enjoy it cus its Stylish and A Dope Concept. "Sneakers & Girls"
In Retrospect, my previous Relationship was Doomed from the start because I entered into A Relationship with someone with a wounded heart. If there is not absolute Trust in A relationship, Any for that matter, not just romantic, but Any Human Relationship must have complete Trust.
hahaha Then again, Who am I Kidding..... People can be very dishonest and mean....
Not Everyone Can be THE HOBBYSHOP HERO =)
