I always thought of myself as that..hmmm…natawa lang talaga ko ewan ko lang…i think my feet look better in flats..and besides, im so tall I wouldn’t want much to tower over my friends..but i wore them for a change..im already graduate and I think I have to upgrade my wardrobe..(ooops!delikado to!patay tayo jen..magastos ala pa kong work at papa…bwehehe..)….la lang…just wondering?!
