I'm terribly sorry for not posting in a very long time even though I said I was going to post. A lot of things happened these past few months and I got so caught with all that happened that I was not able to find time to post. The good thing is that I will start posting again 100% (if i don't go ahead and smack/hit me lol). I will either post once or twice a week. Have a good day! ^^
