Boong Boong Yah

Wake up in the morning with my butt in the sky

You’re Gonna Miss This

Last night around 9 PM, I was lying in bed, legs outstretched and crossed at the feet, right hand resting comfortably between the back of my head and the pillow, tiny white earbud headphones placed snugly in my ears as I listened to the sounds emanating from my metallic blue iPod Shuffle.
