8.8

I share my birthday with the most adorable Katia, and celebrate it one day after Rime’s and Mariyah’s. Images and scents of the loveliest ladies surround and dizzy me, what more could a boy ask for!

August 8th, happens to be my birthday, and I shall reserve the right to indulge myself, and you, my dear readers, in this little trip down memory lane.

    I love those trips down memory lane. You and I could sit for hours going through all these old (sometimes semi-washed out) photos from back in the day.

    Happy Birthday :)

    @Posh,
    Thank you posh! It was a weird weird year, not that I remember much other than the photos and that I started the first fire, in a series of fires that later to come in my life, that ate my bedroom. :)

    I’m very grateful to my parents and my family for keeping such a large collection of old photos, with very endearing memories.
