Dubya: The Shallow Fake

andygogo @andygogo (1579) • China 2 Jan 07

Morning Girl @salonga (27775) • Philippines 25 Nov 15

When I was a child, we had a very fruitful star fruit in the backyard. But no one among us like the fruit so that its fruit would just fall one after the other. My mother would always sweep them and put them in the garbage. No...
