When the music teacher walked into the classroom, she would also focus on learning to sing, very seriously. However, because she put in effort, the song she sang was quite pleasant. How about it, this little girl is very cute, right? You must really like this little girl and want to ...
One of the best moments for me personally from the trip was listening to august while watching those mesmerizing sunsets, it somehow gave me the moment of “the world can wait.”. You know I take pictures of my food :) imagine enjoying those yummies on the floor with an open door and ...
