Who I am ? Konnichiwa ! I'm bbjjangmomo ツ. You can call me
KPOP
I am taken by the Superman. His name is Glenn Paul , I prefer Poknat. We began our disney story on 28 September 2012 until today. Out tandem name is bibipoknat. He always sing the song "Grow Old With You by Adam Sandler" to me even though he doesn't have such a good voice. He is my first boyfie and I guess I am the most luckiest girl in the world to have him in my life. All I can say is he is the only one that can stand my attitude. I'm always moody and he handle it easily without getting mad at me. We fight (yeah every couple fight) but we will suddenly end up getting back together without knowing about it. He always tries his best to make me feel happy and he always manage to draw a smile on my face when i'm upset. He always fulfill my wish.. I just want him to know that no matter how difficult things can be in the long run, he will still have me. He is my first and hopefully he'll be my last . Seriously I love him so much. God please make him mine and me his. Amen.
