Wonderful! Oh, the days of longing and yearning for something hiding just behind the horizon. We didn't even know for sure what we were reaching for.

There lies the magic, often the reality paled.

Sweet Sixteen. One more year For you? I told you you can master any. This is really good I made a pantoum SPECIALLY for you. It is a male voice not a female one.

This was brilliant! In our Puerto Rican culture, it's all about the "Quincenera" -> Sweet 15. =) So, we don't wait! Most likely cause we're just damn impatient to party! =)
